i'm not intellectual


i went for this talk on Islam and Pluralism... the speaker was from some central european country i think. that's not the main point though. i couldn't really get what he was talking about. wanted to ask a questions but decided not to, hahaha.

anyway, the prof mentioned something about the privatisation of religions at the end of the Q&A. i was thinking, why not personalisation? ... he was saying, as not everyone could accept a religious dogma in its totality, why not having a few sets of ethics and beliefs that could be accepted and abided by by some people and not by others?

i think that's what he's talking about... anyway, then i started wondering, doesn't that sound a lot like free thinking agnostics? hahaha...

well i've been going to talks like that pretty often... but i don't think i get much out of it... maybe i'm not fit to listen to their discussion hahaha... i'm so humble...

yesterday my BGS prof wasn't around... so we were watching The Corporation, this boring documentary that kinda enlightened me on known facts that i more often than not choose to ignore... as even if i care about how Nike sewers must work in such a programmed in order to earn the 10 cents they need for their huge families, i can't do much about it... yet maybe...

people go read 50 facts that should change the world k...

i wonder when i would start to have interesting classes... next semester i'll still have preassigned classes... though i think i could bid for 1 or 2 more of my choice.

and i wanna go Japan for my exchange program... don't laugh... i'm gonna take Jap soon soon... and i'm gonna pick a program in English... hahaha...

waiting for tonight...
