I find the whole thing sad, especially since I’m actually looking forward to my immersion next year. It annoys me that she had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience how other people live for even just a night, and it rubbed off on her totally wrong. I didn’t like the way she phrased things, too.
However, I really can’t blame her for it. She’s from a background that was completely different to what the Aetas have. She reacted on the situation the way she would at anything else. I don’t even know how I’ll react if I was in her shoes, completely out of her comfort zone.
That’s what immersion is for, and she experienced firsthand something she never thought she would ever have to. Besides, there were some redeeming things written, too. At least she also had her own, non-negative reactions to it.
Im sure ateneo has some orientation with students going on exposure BEFORE actual field exposure. Decent “dos ” and “dont’s”, right? and im sure there are also processing sessions AFTER the fieldwork.
What she wrote on her facebook account was spontaneous, and based on her honest feelings–which of course, exposes her sheer insensitivity. Precisely because she has no exposure or perspective about these kinds of experiences.
That’s really very sad. but people change. Hopefully, this fiasco can somehow transform her sensitivity.
I was blackmailing TROSP?! NO SHIT?! Or is it the other way around?!
I have one full blog entry about this old fart who has been hounding me. He has some sick twisted minds to the likes of Ellumbra. How intereting, I just made it live a few seconds ago when a reader told me to come here.
So, here is the link: MOONBAT FLYING ON THE HILL

Oo, inaamin ko, nakursunadahan ko si Trosp. Sana he kept our love letters in private. Leche. Pakilala kasi saken, bente otso at gwapo. Malaman laman ko, hukluban na pala.
Sori talaga. Mahilig lang talaga ako sa lalaki. Kasalanan ko ba kung saksakan ako nang ganda?! Pero, pramis, bukas, titino na ako. Kaya, nag-papa-umanhin po ako sa mga readers dito. Naka-alpas sa nursing home tong ina-alagaan kong matanda. Leche, nag-kamali ata ako nang bigay nang medisina.
LOLWUT? Ba’t lumihis sa topic at napunta sa blackmailing naman?
RAstaMONch,
The blog commenter is a Reyna Hater and he is trying to hijack this blog entry. I devoted one full blog entry about what he’s doing on the internet. He’s trying to convince the blogosphere that I was trying to blackmail him. Poor old man. He’s been stalking me for months.
