My ears are deaf from all the things I hear. So now, I.AM.GOING.TO.CLARIFY.THINGS.UP.
Contrary to popular belief, the International Studies Program of the Ateneo De Davao University is not created to gather girls with rebonded hair wearing skinny jeans and aviator glasses. If you are currently an International Studies Student who wishes to end up as a flight attendant, you might as well get out of this program and enroll in Samson Technical School. International Studies do NOT include learning how to put make-up on, learning to mix and match outfits for wash day, and talking in intolerable coño pseudo-english.
This course is supposedly instigated to guide the future "diplomats" and those aspiring to be such. In International Studies, you are supposed to amalgamate the teachings of Political Science, Economics, Anthropology and Philosophy.
An International Studies Student should at least know who is Homi Bhabha, Saparmurad Niyazov, and Jacques Derrida. Or at least, you must be able to bluff your way from teachers who caught you off-guard in a recitation. An International Studies Student should at least know that Kurdistan does not exist in the map, that John Adams and John QUINCY Adams are NOT the same person,that the teachers of the Ateneo IS Program are NOT supposed to teach International Studies, and that Benito Mussolini is not a type of pasta.
The blog Sinabawang Gulay para sa Batang Bingi is an avenue of sharing the wonderful world of International Relations to you, lucky people. The site is primarily monitored by ME, so I might as well note about the history of this program as it occurred to me.
On June 2006, an unknown deadly virus, (later referred as the CHANILLIONES virus) surfaced in the program. It caused a sudden increase of mortality rate in the students. From SIXTY-plus, a total of NOT more than twenty-five students were left. However, a vaccine named SKUB1DU eliminated the virus from the IS system. Thus, regaining stability on the population of the new International Studies Students.
Today, the students of the International Studies Program are still struggling to segregate their name from usual stereotyping (i.e. only kikay girls and homosexual boys are enrolling in this course).
AGAIN, the site is created for the convenience of International Studies Students (hehe). More accurately, it would tackle about all concepts related to International Studies from the eyes of class '09. HA HA HA.

Hello, pababayaan ko ang nagcomment before me. :) Anyway, Bam! Maganda itong post mo. Alam mo karamihan sa mga bobong nakikilala natin sa Ateneo ay malamang na sa eskwelahan lamang dahil nais nilang ipagmayabang ang kanilang "kamangha-mangha" na...ano pa eh...kabobohan. Sorry, I'm not my politically-correct self. But your post reminded me so much of how irritating it is to see people who are more interested in their delusional image of an Atenean student (be it IS -- hay naku Bam, don't get me started with people who belong to other programs) than their actual academic life. Walang interesado matuto! :( Iyak na ako. Di ako lumisan sa pagka-O.S.Y. para lang patunayan na walang kwenta ang pag-aaral. Kung sa tingin ng mga IS na iyan na sa pagpapaganda madadala ang mga balakid na mararanasan sa pagtarbaho mabuti pa nga nag technical school nalang sila, or nag cosmetology. Ayan, at least mas nakatingin sila sa salamin kay sa sa libro.
Galing ng litanya ko no? In Taglish? Hehehe Happy holidays!
IS student ka? :D
Stig! Yan kukunin ko course pag umuwi nako next year. Hopefully sa ADMU :D Maganda IS program nila eh. :]
At, oo. Maganda ang post! :)
-Arianne nga pala to, from cheesecakesugar. I moved to writingspree. :)
its because they prolly dont know what's going on inside. they see the outside and they stereotype. oh well. that happens. nice post by the way.. i can practically hear you talking while im reading. hehe.
Merry Christmas!!!!
Jacques Derrida... last semester's arch-enemy.
mahirap ang nasa arts or social science na kurso, and that's without the stereotyping. they have no idea what goes on in our classrooms. frigging idiots. but anyway, who needs more wrinkles diba? ;)
happy holidays!
