Who’s Cleve?

We had an activity in our speech communications class that tries to check, reinforce or negate (whichever is applicable) our self concepts. Self concept is a combination of what we think of ourselves and what others thinks of us and many other factors depending on the type of theory that you will use.

Written anonymously, my classmates and our speech communications instructor wrote their concept of who or what CLEVE is. I find it interesting. Here it is (My classmates are Political Science, Organizational Communication, Biochemisty, Biology, and Pharmacy majors):

Self concept, eh?

*I hope that Comm3 is helping you or preparing you in a way for law school. I know that you will be an excellent lawyer.

Cleve is a nice, prim and proper guy ... I kinda like guys like you who are not 'dirty' to look at .. :)

Hi! You seem smart and sensible to talk to. I hope you're approachable too. :)

Looks very smart yet actually funny when conversed with.

Hello, Gaaa. I'm not good at this. lol. Well, lurker ako sa blog mo and I love reading your entries. =) Keep them comin'.

You seem to have many talents and I find you smart especially about politics. I hope we can also converse because I find you very interesting. I guess you are funny, too.

You seem to be smart and approachable. You look like my high school friend (except that you are taller)! =)

Cleve ---> Clever. Haha. First impression ko sa'yo, your face was familiar so I was curious about how you talk to people. Okay naman pala. =)

You seem to think very practical and critical. I find it good but sometimes, I believe there are things beyond what we know and cannot be justified with facts. =) I also find you quiet.

I beg to disagree ha, but he's not prim and proper. I have to say among all here in class, I know you best. I appreciate your kind and thoughtful gestures towards me. Kahit na we tend to clash your opinions, silently you've been a good friend. God Bless! -Aaron. =) <3

Cleve! Ang galing mo bilang isang PolSci student. Keep up the good work and keep smiling! =) <3

Very smart and outspoken. A person who knows what he wants in life ... =) But sometimes he's quiet.

You're my idol when it comes to current events and trivias ... =) You're a certified political scientist >_<

Clevey! Hi sis! Nyahaha! Ang kulit mo lang. =) Yun lang. Peace. =)

Wooh... smart and friendly ... though nung una, I thought masungit ka. :D

You're very smart and also socially conscious. We're not close so sometimes i get mahiyain to you. But I think you're a good friend. I like your polo. =) Bev

Being an atheist and having him in the same class as I am is kind of a new thing. But you seem fine, not that I think of atheist as not okay individuals.

You have the potential of being a student leader!

Haller Cleve! You're a really smart person. Pero friendly din naman. =) Aja! <3

Strong. Tibak much. Friend? Not sure. (Haha!) Aral mabuti! God Bless!

Cleve! Cute talaga ng dimples mo. Ang saya mong kasama kasi malakas ka mang-trip. You really have good ideas. Keep it up. Hugs and kisses and love. :)))

I can imagine how sociable you really are .. you look like a good kid. *u*

SMART. MAY PANINIDIGAN. PALABAN. Tatakbo kang sc? Takbo na! =) BLU

This is not prim and proper. Rigggggggght?

This too!

What do you think guys? The one with the asterisk is our instructor's comment. This course is very enjoyable. You get to learn new things that can be applied daily. And I feel so connected to all the topics. This will be one of those courses that I will remember forever. Plus the instructor who's always willing to hear your comments and answer your questions.

Single on Valentine's Day

But if you're single and valentine's day is already there, I think your self concept will be something synonymous to the loneliest person in the world.

1. Why do they post Cupid's picture inside the church?

Cupid is a Roman/Greek God. Study humanities. What are you thinking anyway? Cupid is not St. Valentine. Study your religion.

2. On being agnostic, an atheist, and a deist.

Just for clear definitons. I know what an Agnostic and an Atheist is. What the hell is a Deist?

A deist is a person who believes (based solely on reason) in a God who created the universe and then abandoned it, assuming no control over life, exerting no influence on natural phenomena, and giving no supernatural revelation. In short, God created the universe. Afterwards, he disappeared!

An atheist is a person who disbelieves that there is an existing God or Supreme Being. This is easy. There is no God. That's clear!

An agnostic person believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism. We can't claim anything. We don't have the capabilities. Uncertainty in our knowledge claim.

3. I feel something whenever I am in TriNoMa. I feel uncomfortable. I don't know why.

4. Bakit nanalo ang YES sa SR Referendum? HAHA. :)

Not Me.

Do I think the world should change? No. Why? Because we should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to do, more doubtful of victory, and more dangerous to proceed than to initiate change. The one who proposes the change makes a lot of enemies of all those who are comfortable and perfectly living under the present world and only a few from those who are uncomfortable will support. Only few will support because human beings are generally incredulous, never really trusting change unless they have tested them by their own experience.

I am already satisfied by the way the world moves around. My father is doing well in his work and he receives a good sum of money to be able to give our needs. We (siblings) are all studying and receiving a good education and enjoying small luxuries of life. My family is living in a fine home and we enjoy every minute of it. And I am afraid that I will lose these amenities of the present world if I ever initiate a change. This maybe selfishness and unwillingness to sacrifice one’s self but I am just being honest. No one is really happy to lose all the things that he/she have. But what about the others? Others that don’t study in school? Others that don’t eat everyday? Those people who doesn’t have homes? Let me tell this to you straight---let them initiate the change.

I know that change is inevitable ... except, perhaps, from a vending machine. But I would not waste my effort in changing a world that I enjoy. I think I’m getting out of the topic. Do I think the world should change? Of course yes. Why not? I do think the world should change. But I’m not going to do it.

---->

this will depend pa. :) di ko pa sure kung ipapasa ko to. enlighten me! change my view! :) hahaha. basta. ganito talaga ako. mood by mood lang yan. :]

The government, he acknowledged, had indeed destroyed a huge trove of computer files and other material documenting the business dealings of a family of Swiss engineers suspected of helping smuggle nuclear technology to Libya and Iran.
