BL times at the conference

Feb 04, 2011 19:58

Today marks the 112th anniversary of the shots that rang one night on a bridge in San Juan, Manila, fired by Private William Grayson - shots that marked the start of a new war for independence. February 4, 1899, the start of the Filipino-American War.



I forgot to promote this, but this was where I was from 2-5 pm. And I'm pretty happy I went, because I learned a lot of things commonly left out of history books. And it has made me realize, to a larger extent, the power the United States of America still has over us.

The panelists raised some very interesting puntos de vista regarding the VFA and the COIN (counter-insurgency) guides of the US, and why these agreements put the Philippines in a dangerous position. It would seem that they paint the US as deceptive as a snake, and I think they actually have the right to do so. Ugh, there was so many political jargon, I had difficulty keeping up with Satur Ocampo.

ANYWAY, another reason I was happy I went was these two boys sitting two seats from me, who were... uh, for some reason, feeling each others' carotid arteries. The "cute" guy kept on looking back and sniggering at his "stoic" friend, and IT WAS LIKE A BL MANGA WTF

school stuff, go ahead make my day, philippines
