Even the street art in this city shows off some history. Found this Jean-Baptiste de La Salle stencil sitting over an 1894 panel in a back alleyway.

I feel like I'm the most badass commuter around. Jeep? No hands. LRT/MRT? No hands. Bus pag tayuan? No hands. Tricycle pag nakaupo sa little storage box on the side of Manong driver? No hands. Angkas, Joyride, Moveit? No hands. 'Pag di kaya, because of human limits, at maximum, index finger lang. My BEEP card is calloused. I live on the edge. I breathe in the risk. I take all my chances. I NEVER FAIL, and most importantly, I NEVER FALL.
But recently, I've noticed the competition get fiercer. Once, on a very busy day, siksikan ng sobra, I saw a Lasallian that kept his balance perfectly throughout the whole ride. Pagkaikot over the Pasig river, the hardest bend throughout the whole Vito Cruz journey, with no handholds, he didn't bump his trainmate ONCE. He was perfectly still, like tea in a teapot. Normally, I could do that in my sleep, but this time, I looked like a fool... I had to grab on to the small edge by the top of the sliding doors.
I will never forget the humiliation I experienced that day. I have since then leveled up my training at home. Think Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal". I do 5 sets of 10 reps of "HEEHEE, SHAMONE" straight leans. It's been hard, but I can already feel a slight improvement.
I'll get my title back, Lasallian commuter. I will be the undisputed LORD OF COMMUTING BALANCE ONCE AGAIN!!!

My thoughts on this #ManilaBulletin article "La Salle Dasma SHS to offer electives on Taylor Swift, SpongeBob", written by Carla Bauto DeΓ±a: https://mb.com.ph/2024/1/15/la-salle-dasma-shs-to-offer-electives-on-taylor-swift-sponge-bob

I feel like this is a waste of time. Yes it is an #elective. But this is too specific. Why #TaylorSwift? Why not #ChesterBennington, who arguably has inspired a whole generation too with his #numetal songs at #LinkinPark?
It just doesn't make sense why you'd focus on one specific #celebrity, or show like #Spongebob.

I'd rather have #electives for subjects like #Japanese #doujin culture, which may be equivalent to "#indie creator" culture in the #West (but #doujins are not always exactly indie). It's both broad enough and specific. You can talk about the #Touhou phenomenon in the mid-2000s and early 2010s, the #fanworks of established media franchises, the #music, and of course, the erotic works which unfortunately became representative of the word in the West. It's not even applicable only to #HUMSS in #SHS; those who will take #IT and #CS courses in #college may find this elective useful for them too (#ZUN, the creator of Touhou, was a #ComputerScience #student when he developed the first five #2hu games for the #PC98).

Let's stop with this nonsensical glorification of #consumer culture from the West, and learn more from our #Asian neighbors instead!!
