Say 'Hi!'

Presently, the thing that I'm dealing with as far as my journ classes are concerned is not the articles or the class requirements (at least not yet). What I'm more concerned is the way we live our lives inside the journ classes: as if each person is a self-feeding being on its own, capable of internal subsistence and independence.

I once told in my LiveJournal account that teachers aren't really obliged to make sure that their students interact with one another. After all, we are already college students who should be capable of carrying ourselves socially. But sometimes (just sometimes), leaving the class to its devices is not just enough (at least for me). I believe that in order to make the class livelier than it should be, the teacher must ensure that the students are actually interacting with one another, and not just sitting there waiting for the lecture to finish.

This, I believe, is a dilemma in my journ class: saying 'hi!'

While it may not really pose as a problem worthy of massive solutions and personal initiatives, it kinda fuzzles me why we are so quiet towards one another. Well, saying 'hi!' is not really a problem. After all, an innocent 'hi!' will not release the bombs that Kim Jong Il has stashed in North Korea - it might even release a thousand flowers there in the garden.

Pero yun nga, nakaka-apprehensive yung mag-'hi!' ka sa mga taong pakiramdam mo'y may sariling mundo.

Mambasag na kaya ako ng mundo para naman maging part ako ng world na iyon...
