winter solace much?

frozen. desolate. taciturn.
naaa... not feeling anything remotely close to those words above. i just liked this image...
besides, angelo was commenting on the lack of images of my blog.
well then, here you go!
the one who 'photoshopped' this image was great. very talented indeed.
im impressed. really.
im thinking of something to write which would amplify and carry out in detail the theme of "winter solace" as stated in the lower portion of the image.
let us try to incorporate the theme to whatever im going to post. hmm...
winter.
i'd say that the word is a direct opposition to whatever training that we've had today.
you're heard of rigorous training. i've heard of rigorous training. all that crap about preparing for the upcoming battle...
well, parlia training with our mr. lawyer seems to surpass the definition of "rigorous"
winter?
maybe we've been shuddering in fright at today's training, yes...
or maybe i could relate it to my seemingly desolate FROZEN chair in the classroom... (i've been gone for so long... and i would still be gone for a longer time...)
naaa... let's cut it out. this blog entry would have no concurrent theme.
how was the parlia training???????
EXCEEDINGLY EXTREME.
again, the now seemingly normal public humiliation... coupled with brain-bashing requirement for spontaneous debate premises and various technical parliamentary procedures.
now, you say: the philippine government is not even a parliament.
yeah, yeah, we know.
but parlia is used throughout the world. in the most formal of assemblies, in the widest of gatherings, in the highest forms of government structures...
and parlia is fun.
stressful and technical and difficult and requires focus focus focus BUT it's just fun.
interesting, so as to say.
maybe it has something to do with our interesting trainer. maybe it has something to do with the way he teaches.
i tell you, he imposes a totalitarian government during our trainings.
he is extremely strict. a "spawn of hell". or so his former student had said.
but he teaches extremely well. the teaching style is definitely efficient.
we learn, and we learn heaps.
im starting to be interested in studying law... haha...
he told us that during one time when he was a freshman Law student in UPD, his professor threw a laptop at him when he failed to submit 27 cases for their homework.
i think he's trying to impose the same thing to us right now.
dont get me wrong. im saying again and again that he is definitely good.
he told us that he's simply pushing us to our limits so that we could operate at our very best.
according to him, he would rather kill us here, right now, than let us be killed by the national crowd in the competition.
we actually agree with him. it's better to be humiliated in front of your teammates and trainer than be humiliated in front of the entire nation.
and he doesnt want us to be humiliated. he doesnt even let the school trainers to come with us in the trainings. the teachers who come with the students stay in some other place. the only ones who can witness the entire training are, of course, the NCR team and our dear trainer.
i'll be gone for two entire weeks.
next week would be alloted for the RIGOROUS TRAINING.
then the week after that would be the national parliamentary competition.
good luck to us.
we've been told that the competition would last from 8am to 11pm... (actually, they told us that it can last until 1 in the morning)
energy reserves are of high importance.
knowledge of the procedure is of greatest value.
teamwork is crucial.
mind spontaneity is significant.
btw, YJAM SPELLERS GOOD LUCK TO YOU GUYS!!!
bring home the bacon... just like last year!! go go go go go!
what else is there to say?
oh, barack obama won! (it was apparent. haha.)
go democrats!! save the teetering "greatest nation in the planet" from its foreboding downfall...
rosie was right on; Bush screwed US bigtime. (see rosie's blog for a more detailed account on CNN's presidential election news)
can i have a break? just for a day?
