Chizmax and all that churvaloo
The fifth inquirer inter-collegiate debating championships has just ended. Apart from being fed in UPD with a less than delectable meal of squid tentacles, sauce, and rice drenched in squid sauce and crushed tomatoes, i’d have to say that competition was one of the best i’ve had in ages.
it’s not because i’ve missed travelling so much (which i really do). it’s more because of the fact that i’ve had a really great time bonding with my fellow team mates and strolling along the bay walk even for just ten minutes.
the 5th iidc was the first competition i’ve joined as an adjudicator and i tell you, it’s just so hilarious, no offense to the teams i’m referring to. first off, there was this debate about warrantless wiretaps. okay, here comes government proposing to use warrantless wiretaps for US safety. the setup was somewhat weak and i did see and huge chance for opposition to grab the debate–until the leader of the opposition stood behind the podium and said "Madam chair, we do not go for warrantless wiretaps because such method is an invasion of privacy. instead, we go for espionage." okay. i’d like to thank him for making my job easier by not realizing that warrantless wiretaps and espionage were one and thesame thing.
there was also another debate in which the motion was about revoking a patient’s right to refuse medically necessary treatment. sad to say, the prime minister set the debate on communicable diseases like coughs, colds, and stds. he added later that a pandemic on the common cold was highly deterimental. wow. now why didn’t i think of that?
apart from the bloopers, there were endless nights of chizmax with anna and charmaine. the poor dears also had to endure mark’s endless torments of non-stop teasing.
when we were bored to death, we’d play cards, pinoy henyo, charades, and we’d chizmax about our defunct love lives. i’m oh-so looking forward to the audc. more games, more of mark’s hostilities, more chizmax. cool.

Haha! I couldn’t stop laughing at this one while recalling what happened during the IIDC. Now that I think about it, I actually had fun there, despite of Mark’s unbearable torments and super far-out remarks. I therefore conclude that he only wants attention - perhaps something he wasn’t given much of during childhood years. Wahaha! Anyway, I’m looking forward to AUDC too. More chizmax (Mark’s gonna hate me more) and more loveteams! Haha! I better find you one too… JUST KIDDING! You better invite you know who so my job will be a lot easier. I just hope the Mark (a.k.a. BAD JUJU) doesn’t find out! See you! ^_^

an, the chances of mark not finding out are quite slim. he always manages to find out. however, i always manage to laugh out loud whenever i remember how mark tormented charmaine. he always has his way of annoying people. see you at the audc. i’m so looking forward to it.

Yep… I agree. Mark has his ways of extracting the truth out of people. Sometimes, even his made-up lies actually come true. Look at Charmaine - i can’t believe that the person Mark was illogically pairing up with Charmaine was really Charmaine’s first “sort-of-crush” - but not really. Hahay. Mark is really weird. I hope he finds someone else to torment when we go to the AUDC. I so don’t want him to keep on annoying me in any way. Speaking of Mark, he’s talking with my Mom right now outside her office. He has this habit of befriending ‘moms’ so he can use them as blackmail. Haha. The thought of Charmaine’s experience with Mark still cracks me up. And Mark really told her MOm about RJ ha. He’s so EVIL.

haha! true! given that, i don’t want to be the next person he torments. it must be mark’s special talent. by the way, mam gemma plasabas said they used to tease mark a lot with this girl who works at the kdc in manila. he gets annoyed of it daw. hmm… >evil smirk<

HAHAHAHA! We can use that to torment him too! Or better yet, let’s look for someone else to pair him up with that he’ll surely detest! Wahaha! I hate Mark.
