Debate---> The 3rd Loyola Cup of the Ateneo Debate Community

"this house believes that..." this phrase continues to rule over my system up to this very moment. why? simply because i am into debating.

debating they say is the art of persuasion, but i say it is the art of becoming sophisticated. why? because when you debate ou are challenged to become the most sophsticated debater in the house.

anyways, last sunday (july 22, 2007), the 3rd Loyola Cup was held in ADDU. of course i joined because i am a newbie of the club and in a way it was a requirement to see how far we have learned about the prnciples of debating. i am belong to bellarmine block specifically bellarmine b. i am paired with ate flora.

anyways, the event was generally fun in a sense that sacrificed one whole day of studying calculus and physics just to join the one whole day debate tournament. so joined the debate.

there were four rounds in the debate and generally it was fun. we won first place in the first debate, but we became fourth in the next two rounds while the fourth round was a slent round so the results were not given to us.

well, i love debating na. i mean it is mind stimulating and sometimes you get to bluff yourself ands the members of the house just to make the case work for you and you get to use thoser sophisticated words and all.

basta wala akong masabi...

Praise The Lord!!!
