Ka-Blog!

I haven’t had a decent night’s sleep since the failed coup last Friday and GMA’s shamefaced declaration of Martial Law. (Pa emergency-emergency pa, warrantless arrest naman ang ipinatutupad.)  I’ve been running around on coverages; our (award-winning) radio program has been suspended; I have so many domestic obligations to fulfill; and I have to attend class online.

     It’s like this, folks:

     We log in to Ateneo de Manila University’s WebCT site, get instructions from the discussion board, dowload our module, do our quiz online, and chat with our professors and classmates in the internet. 

     We are not looking for SEBs; we are having class.  E-ducation ba.

       How did I find myself chatting with a professor who is in Nova Scotia and classmates from Mongolia to Cambodia?  Well, we applied for this diploma for radio journalism program with the Konrad Adanauer Center for Journalism of the Ateneo de Manila University.  Of the two Manila-based working radio journalists accepted this year, both of us are from Kodao Productions–Lui Tumlos and I.

       So here I am, suffering the makulits and pasaways of other countries and their "unique" grammar and syntax when I should be conserving energy for tomorrow’s grind. 

       We still have a dictator to oust, you know.
