Time it Takes to Read: 1 minute
Every
week, some members of the “Moveable Circle” get together. Sometimes, we watch a
film or have dinner in a cheap restaurant. Whatever we do, we usually end up in
a coffee shop discussing different topics from films, politics, sex, religion,
and everything about the absurdity of life in this Third World country. For us,
we feel as if we were contributing to society but from the point of view of
outsiders, we certainly sound like a bunch of loud miseducated Filipinos who shift from English to Filipino as we sip
our cappuccinos, tea lattes or black coffees secretly spiked with whiskey.
Whatever
people might think of us, I personally enjoy my time with these consciously
deranged intellectuals. I learn more
with them than the four years that I spent in university trying to understand
lofty topics from quantum mechanics to Derrida.
However, I feel that it is such as waste if I do not try to blog about
our discussions considering some of us occasionally come up with some
insightful ideas. Therefore, we have
decided to share some of our discussions at the round (or square) table. We
cannot share all of our discussions because certain famous political
personalities and celebrities will definitely sue us if we divulge some private
information. Here is our first effort.
The minute
is up.
