Host: Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and members of the third gender. Welcome to “Who Wants to be a Hotdog Millionaire?!” Our player for today is a 16 year old student from the University of the Philippines-Visayas Cebu College. Help me welcome Mr. Hao Banados

_____________________________________________________________

Host: Question no. 1 for 5 pesos.

“For a hedonist (a person whose life is devoted to the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification) the word GOOD refers to bodily pleasure. For a humanist it refers to the development of all your human potentials. For a logical positivist the word GOOD expresses approval. Alternatively, if you are a Kantian, you will identify GOOD as doing one’s duty.

The question is… “What term in philosophy describes this particular phenomena on which a term has acquired too many uses in numerous language games?”

a. Contingency                        b. Fallacy                    c. Symbolic Logic       d. Ambiguity

Hao: What is good?(Kuhitun niya tagsa-tagsa sila Fatima,Crislyn ug Isabel kay nagtalikod man sila.

Fatima: Any action that promotes bodily pleasure is good.

Crislyn: Any action that hastens the development of your intellectual potential is good.

Isabel: Good is for my approval. GOOD!

“Some Christians are honest. How many Christians are honest?”

a. Some          b. Difference               c. Product       d. Quotient

a. Fallacy of Composition       b. Fallacy of Equivocation

c. Fallacy of Accident             d. Fallacy of Relevance

Hao: Fallacy of Equivocation. Letter b

Host: Sure? Alam mo yan? Let’s see! The correct, right, precise, accurate, exact and factual answer is indeed…………letter B as in bee. Lets proceed to the next question.

_____________________________________________________________

Host: Question number 5 for the amount of _____________________

The question goes like this.

In order to avoid linguistic confusion, you have to define your terms. Of course, the purpose of a definition is to provide information about the correct use of term. There are generally two methods of doing this; either you give a _____ or a ___________ definition.

a. rock and roll

b. all of the below.

c. reportive

d. stipulative

FLASHBACK

Hao: Oh! it’s the championship day for the debate thingy.

Isabel: I go for stipulative definition because it  is a type of definition in which a new or currently-existing term is given a specific meaning for the purposes of argument or discussion in a given context.

Crislyn: Shut Up! Your wrong..I go for reportive definition of a word on which it tells us what others mean when they use a word and what others will understand us to mean when we use the same word.

Fatima: Indeed the debate has already gone very far out of the topic. Remember that our topic is about the morality of abortion and not on its simple meaning. I declare both of you as losers.

(back to reality)

Host: So, do you have an answer?

Hao: Can I ask the help of the audience?

Host: Sure! Why not?! I’ve said this line three times already. So as what you can see on our Sony Plasma TV. Fifty Percent of the audience votes are in letter C while Fifty Percent is on letter D. so what’s your final answer?

Hao: I go for letter A. Rock N Roll.

Host: Sure with that? Okay…I wouldn’t care if you’re sure..the correct answer is…..letter B..sorry you lose…by loser.

If I Could Turn Back Time

“If I could turn back time”, “If only I could see the future”, we often hear these phrases when people regret doing something or whenever they do lose hope in solving their extremely hard problems. Some individuals really wish to alter time although it may seem impossible for now, but what if we could really go back and change our past or rather see what the future might bring to our lives through time travel?

The idea of time travel started with the Theory of Relativity from the very superb thinking of the genius, Mr. Albert Einstein on which he stated that the laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion relative to one another and that the speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of their relative motion or of the motion of the source of the light. The theory of relativity may seem undeniably correct but it also has some surprising consequences based from what I have read from Wikipedia, one of these consequences are time dilation which states that moving clocks are measured to tick more slowly than an observer’s “stationary” clock. Albert Einstein explained this phenomenon when he was riding a streetcar in Bern and looking back at the city clock then he imagined that if his car was to travel on the speed of light, being Einstein as the reference point city clock would seem to stop but his watch inside the car would continue moving typically but an observer outside the car will just say that everything is normal. Einstein concluded that time can beat at different rates throughout the universe depending on how fast we move and therefore there is a possibility of time travel.

Another evidence of the possibility of time travel is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime that would be, fundamentally, a shortcut through spacetime which is what we call a wormhole as described in Wikipedia. Some wormholes collapse quickly which prohibits anyone to cross from one end to another. Further researches are still conducted in order to have standard basis on the existence and research of wormholes and in order to use it as a milestone in opening ways to other places in the universe.

This phenomenon can cause great disturbances in the lives of people because I am sure that every single person on earth did wish to travel back to time or would want to see their future. Time travel can help make our world a better place to live in. It might be the only answer of the greatest and most devastating problem on earth which is Global Warming. Through time travel, maybe we can stop the formation of nuclear bombs and other establishments that have cause great emissions of carbon dioxide.

Until now, it is really hard to accept that there is indeed a great possibility of the existence of time travel because I was only expecting that travelling through time only exist in sci-fi movies and novels. Being aware of this possibility gives me the feeling of excitement because I can’t imagine myself talking to myself but a lot older or a lot younger but still it is only an idea for now so let us reserve our hopes and dreams for our time travel in the coming future.

Vanity

Vain talaga ako.

Spice Up Your College Life – Full

Based from my BFF’s tweets on twitter, they say na nagpipila pa daw sila upang makapag-enroll at makapag-choose sa kanilang subjects but I told them, “Mabuti pa dito sa UP, mayroom kaming online CHURVA!”. At nagtanong na naman itong friend ko kung ano yung “churva” at sinabi ko na “UPV-CRSIS“. At ito ang sinabi niya sa akin “BOBO ka teh! Acronym yan eh! paano ko malalaman kung ano yan?” kaya sinabi ko sa kanya na ang meaning nito ay “University of the Philippines Visayas – Computerized Registration Student Information System. At napasabi na lang ang friend ko ng “BONGGA’ at end of conversation na namin iyon. Deep inside, alam ko na walang na-intindihan ang friend ko from other school sa mga sinabi ko, that’s why I’m gonna tell you how its done. 

Kadalasan, itong litrato ng semi-nude man at mga pictures din nga ibang UP Campus ang sasalabung sa atin kung pupunta tayo sa website ng UPV-CRSIS. Sa totoo lang, when I first entered the website, I really didn’t know what to do kaya pumunta at nag-meet new friends na lang ako sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas during summer. During enrollment, marami rin naman akong nakilala dahil sa mga pila sa iba’t-ibang lugar na dapat pilahan kahit hindi mo alam kung bakit and i’m proud to say na only sa UP ito mararanasan.

Sa mga pumila talaga until the end, SALUDO ako sa inyo. Pero honestly may mas mabilis na paraan. Pero huwag kayong mag-alala dahil ako mismo ay pumila din subalit nag-brownout nga lang dahil sa rotating brownout ng VECO kaya lumabas na lang ako kasama ang aking mga CompSci friends at akalain mo naman, nakita namin ang aming ex-classmate na sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas din mag-aaral nga kolehiyo, Kay swerte ko nga naman at ang ex-classmate ko na ito ay may sister na nag-aaral din sa UP kaya mayroon na siyang kaunting nalalaman tungkol sa UPV-CRSIS at ang swerte nga lang naman talaga ako at tinuruan niya kami kung paano mag-enlist ng mga subjects. At na-schock talaga ako at dinala niya kami sa isang internet cafe. Akalain mo naman diba na pwede pa lang mag-enlist ng subjects kahit saan mo gusto as long as mayroong internet connection. At natapos nga rin ako, pero the next day pa ako nakabayad ng  tuition.

I’m still amazed until now dahil sa UPV-CRSIS kung saan dito pa rin pala natin malalaman ang ating grades. Ito talaga ay kakaiba at nagpapadali sa ating buhay ng bonggang-bongga. I hope na mabibigyan rin ako ng chance upang malaman kung paano ito ginawa.

At bongang-bonggang na-delete ko ang aking first post sapagkat binura ko rin iyong drafts ko without knowing na damay ang post ko. 😦
