I really don't have anything new to write about these days, and I still have a couple of papers that I think are worth sharing here, so that's what I'll be doing again today. This one is my reflection paper on part one of our exposure trip on BS155 (The subject focuses on deviance, as seen from psychological, sociological and anthropological views, although it's mostly psychological since we focused more on various mental disorders). The experience was very fulfilling for us, and I hope I'm able to convey that through my writing.

We had two days to go to four different institutions, and here's my first reflection paper where I detailed our experiences on day one of our trip.



( We may label these people as deviant, as a result of a mental illness or the constraints of society, but they possess qualities that we can definitely learn from, and it’s great that we had a chance to have an encounter with them. )



We've been on a lot of trips during the course of our lives in university, but this one is probably one of the most fulfilling ones I've had. Coming into contact with the people we've encountered really gave me a warm, light-hearted feeling :)

It's been almost two weeks since summer break started, and I wanted to post something new here, but I couldn't think of anything to write about. No creative juices active as of the moment, but I remembered that there were times that they have been in the past year, so I thought to just share some academic papers I'm quite proud to have written (and that I know won't be too boring to share). The first one that I want to share is one of my final papers for my Humanities II class, where we studied about Art, Man and Society. This was written last October 2010 as a reaction paper to our museum visit (which I thoroughly enjoyed). I'm quite proud of this because I'm not a person who's really into art (visual arts, that is), and yet this is the first paper to which I've acquired a grade of 1.00 (that's the highest grade in our grading system). I've put a lot of effort into this, so I'm really happy that it paid off very well.

Well then, here it is.



( I've learned that art really is an important facet of our society. It is not only a means through which the artist can express his or her thoughts and ideas; it is also a window to our history and a reflection of our culture. )


At the end of the 1st sem, I was really glad to have taken up Hum II because I really learned a lot from it. Even though I'm not really interested in the visual arts, it wasn't boring at all. It was actually quite interesting that because of it, I now learned how to appreciate art :)
