Letter for WORLDS from Dino De Leon

Dear Fellow Filipinos,


Greetings of goodwill!


As you might all probably know, the Philippines was awarded the exceptionally rare opportunity to host the Olympics of debating--the World Universities Debating Championship!


The 32nd World Universities Debating Championship, colloquially known to the World Debate Community as "De La Salle Worlds", will be held in De La Salle University on December 27, 2011-January 4, 2012. The most brilliant students from the top universities in the world like Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, Stanford, Yale, NUS, and Sydney will be coming to De La Salle University to participate in this 9-day exchange of wit, intellect, and rhetoric. The Grand Finals will be held in the Plenary Hall of the Philippine International Convention Center to be televised live in at least 3 television networks and to be graced by key government officials and members of the diplomatic core.

HOW TO SURVIVE A COCKBIE (ZOMBIE-COCKROACH) APOCALYPSE

Zombie apocalypse has been long fantasized by fanatics and believers that rules are set and made up in order to “survive”, if it happens - the great ordeal of a zombie outbreak. 

But seriously there is a more pressing issue this rainy season, more horrendous, full of suspense, stinky, a hideous version to the real life… a fucking flying cockroach.

Just recently I had an incidence with this airborne creepy critters heading towards me as a point of landing, I’m helpless, hapless and speechless that time that the monster eventually gave me the facial of my life. I shook-off and shooed the cockroach with my bare hands. For a moment my heart went boom and experienced tachycardia then a sign of relief.

My ideal household

My ideal ways to raise a home.

1.       Living a low tech life -technology eases life but it ruins relationships, ergo it should be kept low and be used for security purposes only.

2.       More books and less boob tube – there are many advantages of being a wide reader; this will make a person imaginative, creative and open minded. Also books are far easier to control than tv-media in terms of content.

What I must do in order to be healthy?

What I must do in order to be healthy?

The only answer to my question is frequent- regular exercise and DISCIPLINE. I must say I’m having the time of my life – I’m in a relationship with a great person in Nikki and having her by my side always makes me feel that I’m taken the best care that I ever had other than how my parents took good care of me. One aspect of that care is supplementation and I say oh boy I will never get hungry with how she treats me, literally and figuratively. The point is, I cannot skip EATING when I’m with her. So, in order to compensate I must implement an iron fist and I must master my own art of DISCIPLINE.

SA AKING PAPANAW (in my point of view): Mideo Cruz's Art Work.

My position regarding Mideo Cruz's art works

Art is lurking around us to tell us about things, as a freedom of one's expression. It could be sometimes a hard blow of what reality is. 

SA AKING PANANAW (In my point of view): After "Pilipinas Kay Ganda" its now "Pilipinas,Tara na!"? here are my thoughts on the new Toursim slogan.

before everything else CLICK HERE for a brief background on the issue regarding the dynamic changes in the Philippine's Tourism slogan. 

Why do we need to constantly change our tourism slogan? Isn't it in change we defy the principle of RECALL?
