Tips on winning a Debate

-


× So never ever state an opinion; Once you do that, bagsak na arguments niyo

× Always have a credible basis on whatever you say

× Rebuttals are key, but you shouldn't alwayd rebutt or else your side will just be as less credible

× Always, always establish your argument on whoever is going to speak first, dont plunge to a rebutt immediately

× Don't be too vague, don't generalize as much as possible

× Never play it safe, whatever your side of the argument is you should only be thinking that you're right

× Plan out what can counter your arguments. If there is something that can counter it strongly, don't mention it

× Then plan your counters on the possible arguments the other side can establish

× The point of the debate is to make your side sound convincing it's not about who's got the biggest mouths or best rebutts. Debate yan, hindi fliptop

× And lastly, respeto; Let the person finish speaking Or if you're allowed to rebutt while he/she is speaking let the person finish the current argument;Wag excited, And listen. Always listen to whatever your teammates and the other panel say, Yan ang downfall ng marami, di nakikinig, Iniisip lang nila arguments nila.

A Fairy Song Analysis by William Shakespeare

A Fairy Song William Shakespeare Over hill, over dale, Thorough bush, thorough brier, Over park, over pale, Thorough flood, thorough fire! I do wander everywhere, Swifter than the moon's sphere; And I serve the Fairy Queen, To dew her orbs upon the green; The cowslips tall her pensioners be; In their gold coats spots you see; Those be rubies, fairy favours; In those freckles live their savours; I must go seek some dewdrops here, And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.

 Pangalawang gabi ng hindi natin pag-uusap Masakit. Sinasanay mo na yata akong mag-isa Sa kagandahan ng buwan kanina, ikaw ang nasa hinagap Magiging mas kabigha-bighani siguro kung nandyan ka Kung katulad ng dati, ay nasasabihan ka Kung gaano kaakit-akit ang mga bagay sa pagitan man ng ilang milya Pero, malayo ka na Mas malayo pa sa Laguna--kung saan ka nakatira Mas malayo pa siguro sa pagitan ko at ng mga tala kanina Hindi ko na alam kung ni ang panaginip ko ay maaabot ka pa Alam mo, natatakot na ko Kasi, nababatid ko na ang tuluyan mong paglaho Habang natutulog ka nang mahimbing, sana Sana maipahinga ko rin ang mga mata ko katulad mo Sana naipapahinga ko rin ang isip, Sana naipapahinga ko rin ang puso ko Sana umaga na Sana sumikat na ang umaga, ulit Kasi sa umaga ko nalang nararamdaman ang kapayapaan  ng puso, isip, at diwa. Umaga ko nalang nararamdaman ang pag-ibig na sana ay maibalik pa Tatlong araw ko nang pinagsisihan ang mga salita Na nasambit ng nanginginig na labi sa ...

Breathing in utero

The music doesnt sound so peaceful tonight The air, the humid, the atmosphere-- They all seemed to be in pain They're cold Every one outside these four walls were right I am not the same as I was I'm still lost, forlorn in this light Nights before exist only for a shot glass Wrecked,I picked up the spoon Then stir the mixed up evening without stars These walls I've set so high--      are suffocating the life that I enjoyed for a long long time Why is there a need to kill the hope Even these senses can't be trusted alone with a rope For September just ended but this month is still fucked I am still stuck in this rut My hands were shaking--feeling my joints crushing My back is disappointing me I can't feel, everything is a blur My eyes are filled with words need to be written again Tell me now, did I deserve to be in this abyss Look me in the eyes Tell me  now, did i deserve to be this broken? Like all your promises
