oHh.. LoOk!! eheheh

Here we go again.. Trying to figure out the secrets behind this mysterious poem.. Well, I must admit, this is such a work of art! A true Masterpiece!
The Look

Strephon kissed me in the spring,
Robin in the fall,
But Colin only looked at me
And never kissed at all.

Strephon's kiss was lost in jest,
Robin's lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin's eyes
Haunts me night and day.

-- Sara Teasdale
uhmm.. One question?? If I kissed her, would she remember it?? ahahah.. I'm sure she will!! That's a once in a lifetime opportunity!..
The poem mentions three guys..
1.) Strephon
2.) Robin
3.) Colin
What do these guys have to do with this girl?? hahays.. If only these guys were not in the scene I won't have to do this required blog entry!!.. Anyways, I don't have a choice because there included..
Strephon and Robin, in my own analysis, are like suitors to the girl.. It is stated Strephon kissed her during the spring and robin during the fall.. It shows that the two guys loved the girl and they have showed their affection. The two different seasons were used to emphasize the different time intervals. The two guys admired the girl but then, according to my own interpretation, the girl didn't give the same affection towards the two guys..
It was evident in the poem that the girl forgot the kisses from Robin and Strephon.. Maybe this was because the kiss was insignificant for her.. There kisses were not to die for.. aheheh.. Either they were lame kissers or their kisses did not mean anything to her..
But that look! The plain, look was all that she can bare!.. It haunts her every night.. What was with that look?? Muta?? ahaha.. If I'm right Colin was the only man she ever loved.. The other boys gave her a kiss but she has forgotten about it. The stare from Colin meant a lot! He loved Colin but I think Colin did not like her.. Maybe because he doesn't like her at all or maybe because something is holding his love for her.. The stare maybe has some meaning in it.. A hidden mystery yet to be uncovered and that was what haunts the girl until now..
That look could only mean two things..
Either he likes her, or not!!

cOmpLicaTeD eQuaTioN = LONELINESS

God, can you please resurrect Einstein, Newton and Da Vinci??.. I need their help.. No! I BADLY need their help.. This is the most difficult thing I've ever read in my entire life. I don't even know how to start.. Maybe I'll just have to show you the poem..

Uhhmm.. How do I start?? First let me congratulate Mr. Edward Estlin Cummings for his job well done.. God, he has a very EXTRAORDINARY mind!! Wow!! Congratulations Mr. E.E. Cummings for making it to the Guiness Book of World Records Most Complicated Poem Ever!!
ahaha.. Just kidding.. hahayz.. Okay, let me just tell all of you what this bunch of letters mean to me..
According to my puny, little brain, The arrangement of letters mean a lot. If you read this poem in one line it goes like this "l(a leaf falls)oneliness".. As i what i have learned in math(with the help of my ever dearest Calculus teacher Mr. Roberto Basadre) we should follow the P.M.D.A.S.(Parenthesis. Multiplication. Division. Addition.Subtraction rule.. So if we follow the P.M.D.A.S., we start with the parenthesis.. (a leaf falls).. If you remember what happens during fall, leaves fall(redundant keu oi!! ahahah).. If a leaf fall, it seperates from it's tree.. If we are to compare it to humans, It's like seperating from your family! It's pure, plain loneliness!!
This brings us to our second word.. LONELINESS.. If we will delete the phrase inside the parenthesis(a leaf falls).. We will have Loneliness.. As what I have said earlier, the falling leaf relates to loneliness which makes perfect sense.. I think this what the author wants to deliver.. LONELINESS..
Sir Elmer told us to make emphasis in the use of font styles .. As you can see above, small letter L looks more like number 1.. If you analyze it critically, one is associated with loneliness. Why? Simply because number always mean being alone.. One.. If you try to sum them all up.. One message is conveyed.. LONELINESS!!.. But why is there loneliness??
Did you notice how the word Loneliness was wisely divided?? Small letter L(more like number1) is separated from the word oneliness.. Oneliness literally means unity.. State of being one.. Can you relate now how the word was cleverly divided?.. One letter separates unity and loneliness.. Small letter L which in this poem stands for number 1. tsk3x.. Get the picture??
If you might remember, number 1 also mean another thing. Being at the Top!! Being the best!! If you try adding number 1(small letter L) to the word oneliness. It forms loneliness. The author wanted to point out that his being the best was what lead him to his sadness..
Lets get back with the phrase "a leaf falls".. This phrase mean that the leaf has separated from the tree.. If we try to connect it with the above discussions, his being the best was what seperated him from the rest..
If my analysis was correct, the message of the poem would be "Success is sometimes dangerous!" Either your head has grown or others have envied you.."

EASY...DIFFICULT…

I've got this poem in the mail.. It kinda strikes me.. I hope it would do the same to you.. I don't know the author.. I just hope Sir Elmer won't sue me for not acknowledging the author.. uhuhu..

Easy is to get a place in someone's address book.
Difficult is to get a place in someone's heart.

Easy is to judge the mistakes of others
Difficult is to recognize our own mistakes

Easy is to talk without thinking
Difficult is to keep the tounge from talking

Easy is to forgive others
Difficult is to ask for forgiveness

Easy is to give rules.
Difficult is to follow them...

Easy is to dream every night.
Difficult is to accomplish that dream...

Easy is to show victory.
Difficult is to accept defeat with dignity...

Easy is to stumble in the road..
Difficult is to get up...

Easy is to promise something to someone.
Difficult is to keep that promise...

Easy is to say we love someone.
Difficult is to show it every day...

Easy is to criticize others.
Difficult is to accept criticisms...

Easy is to make mistakes.
Difficult is to learn from them...

Easy is to weep for a lost love.
Difficult is to take care of it so not to lose it.

Easy is to think about improving.
Difficult is to stop thinking it and put it into action...

Easy is to receive
Difficult is to give

Easy to read this
Difficult to follow

See?? The poem just tells us about life and how to live it.. It gives us the meaning of what is right and how to keep it right.. It shows us that bad things can be done easily but undoing them is a lot more difficult..

CEBU COUNTRY CLUB

Established in 1928, the Cebu Country Club is one of the best and most admired golf clubs in Cebu. Being the premier golf club in Cebu today, it represents the early developments of golf in Cebu and the Visayas. It takes the driver's seat in handling Cebu's tourism golf traffic after the loss of the famous Club Filipino de Cebu. This golf club is also the site of the PAL Interclub and some legs of the Philippine Golf Circuit.

The golf course has 18 holes covering about 6,481 yards. The green fees depend on the day of the week: PHP2,000 for weekdays and PHP3,500 for weekends and holidays. The caddy's fee is PHP250, golf cart rental is PHP1,500, and golf club rental is PHP300. Club members enjoy discounts on fees, while non-members pay the regular fees.

Cebu Country Club has an elegant clubhouse that is open to local and foreign guests. It boasts of complete facilities that help guarantee a satisfying stay for its guests. Its restaurant provides quality service and offers the best foods and delicacies of Cebu. Guests can relax and go sight-seeing on the tree houses, spend the night out at the bar, play on the badminton and tennis courts, bowl at the bowling alley, and take a refreshing dip at the swimming pool.

The club also has a barber shop, a pelota, and a pro shop that sells high-quality sports gadgets for the pros, as well as modern locker rooms. Security in the club is ensured by personnel who work 24/7 to ensure the safety of the club's patrons.

June (real name withheld for reasons of privacy and confidentiality), a tour guide of Mr. Samuel Darza in the golf club, said that the topography of the golf course is very different from other golf courses. He speaks highly of the club's services, describing them as satisfying. He also said that the 18 holes of the golf course cover a land area that extends from Banilad, Cebu City, up to Mandaue City in the north. As far as security is concerned, June feels that the club is a safe place and has no security problem because, despite the club's large size, security personnel roam and patrol all sides of the field. Further, June said that the club regularly upgrades its facilities; hence, the club's facilities are on a par with the latest and the best.

In addition to its local clients, the club also has frequent visits from foreign guests, many of whom find the club a perfect place for relaxation and for enjoying life's pleasures. Though, most of the club members are usually retired white-collar employees of private companies.

Every Cebuano and non-Cebuano who tees off on the greens of Cebu Country Club would definitely find that, owing to the club's elegant facilities and efficient service, Cebu Country Club undoubtedly helps portray Cebu as a place rich with natural and man-made structures.

7 wOnDeRs oF tHe wOrLd

Imagine your in a Geography Class..
And your teacher asked you..

What are the 7 Wonders of the World??

I guess you'll look at an almanac and say..

"The Seven Wonders of the World are":
1.) Egypt's Great Pyramids
2.) Taj Mahal
3.) Grand Canyon
4.) Banaue Rice Terraces
5.) Empire State Building
6.) St. Peters Basilica
7.) Great Wall of China

Technically, your correct. But there is more to life than just riches and beauty. Beauty fades and riches can be depleted. We can adore them but we can't be obsessed with them.

Now, let me give you my 7 Wonders of the World.

1.) To See..
2.) To Hear..
3.) To Touch..
4.) To Taste..
5.) To Feel
6.) To Laugh
7.) To Love


The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly beautiful, extraordinary and totally wondrous!! We should always remember that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by men.. God is so good that he has given us these wonders..

The gift of sight. This gift enables us to appreciate the beauty of nature inside and out.. There is much to see if you'll just close your eyes.. Beauty surpasses what the eyes can see.. Blind people are the one's who can really tell us the meaning of sight.. Although they can't see through the eyes but they can see through the heart..

The gift of hearing.. Hearing is a very potent tool for communication.. It uses sounds to transmit meaning.. These sounds are then transmitted to the brain for decoding.. A very complicated thing but then God gave us this gift for us to understand the beauty of life.. It's not hearing that is important.. It's understanding what your hearing..

The gift to touch.. Touching is a privilege.. It's a way for us to express what we feel.. We slap, caress we hold.. It's a gift and a responsibility..

The gift to taste.. It's self explanatory.. How can you appreciate food if you can't taste it?? aheheh.. You can't like sweet if you haven't tried bitter..

The gift to feel.. It's a great gift.. You can feel warmth, coldness and appreciate their importance.. It's a gift to have emotions.. You

To laugh!! hahaha haha hahah hahah.. See?? Seems enjoyable.. Try it!! especially when your down and lonely??!! Just Laugh your heart out!! Laughter is always the best medicine.. When you're sad?? Laugh! When you're happy?? Laugh! When you're depressed?? Laugh out Loud!!

To love.. It's the greatest gift of all.. So simple yet so complicated..



See?? Wonders don't mean riches and wealth.. It means heart!! So enjoy your riches!! Make use of your wonders! And you'll become a walking almanac!! ahehehe

Isn't it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God and share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend, share and repeat gossip?

dOn'T mOCk GoD!! hALa kAh!!

God is good. God is merciful. God is powerful.
So don't you dare mock him!

It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

I got this e-mail from my friend.. It includes famous quotes from personalities. I just wanted to share it to you. It's a pity I don't know the author or the source.

JOHN LENNON: Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: "Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966). Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

TANCREDO NEVES (President of Brazil): During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.

CAZUZA (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet): During a show in Canecão ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you." He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.

THE MAN WHO BUILT TITANIC: After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it" The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.

MARILYN MONROE: She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus". A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.

BON SCOTT: The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang: "Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell". On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

CAMPINAS/SP IN 2005 In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend. The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter - holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: "MY DAUGHTER, GO WITH GOD AND MAY HE PROTECT YOU." She responded: "ONLY IF HE (GOD) TRAVELS IN THE BOOT, CAUSE INSIDE HERE IT'S ALREADY FULL" Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the boot was intact. The police said there was no way the boot could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the boot was a crate of eggs, none were broken..... Boot means trunk.

Now tell me, who are they to mock God?? Who are we to Mock him??
He is our creator!!

God is good. God is merciful. God is powerful.
So don't you dare mock him!

wHat mAkEs cOFFeE swEeT?!

Ever asked yourself this question?
You may find it stupid but I'm sure your answer is wrong..
I want you to sit back, relax, concentrate and think..
Now I'll ask you once again..

What makes coffee sweet??

Is it the sugar??
Technically, no.

Then what really makes coffee sweet??

It's actually the stirring that you do after adding the sugar
that makes the coffee sweet! hahah

Confused??

It just goes like this..
Just like in "LIFE"!
It's making do with what you have that makes your life worthwhile.

Life is simply like coffee. It can sometimes be sweet but oftentimes bitter. We can face problems and obstacles we think we can't solve. This makes our life bitter but experiencing this bitter times make you crave for sweetness more. When you think you can't stand the bitterness anymore, don't think it's the end! You should know that God will always make a way.. We all know that God doesn't want us to live a bitter life. He always provides with sugar. But sugar alone can't make the coffee sweet! It needs stirring. It's up to us to stir it.
We need to make use of what God has given us. God's graces are practically useless if there is no factor of effort added.
This explains the ever famous tagalog quote "Nasa Diyos ang awa, nasa Tao ang gawa!".
We can't expect God to do all the things! We can't expect him to do the stirring. It's our responsibility. We need to do our part.
When you're in trouble always remember that God will always provide sugar. Don't even think of throwing the coffee mug away because doing that means you have surrendered! Running away from your problems doesn't solve it!! It just makes it worse.



So, if ever you drink another cup of aromatic, sweet coffee..
Always remember what makes it sweet!!!

wHy thE wOrLd dOeSn'T nEeD sUpErmAn!!

It's a bird. It's a plane. No!! It's SUPERMAN!!

Who would not know superman??!!
Who would not know the ever popular "Man of Steel"??
Who would ever forget his superhuman strength? His laser and x-ray visions? His extraordinary sense of hearing?
And most of all, who would ever forget his "small-sized" T-shirt and his red briefs?? ahahaha

If there is something strange in the neighborhood, who you're gonna call??
**eEnGgKk!!** not the Ghostbusters! Its Superman!! Sige na, enough with the corny stuffs..

Does the world really need Superman??

hMmM.. My answer is No!!

But why??

1.) The world doesn't need a SUPERNATURAL HERO simply because we don't have SUPERNATURAL VILLAINS!! ehehe.. Its just like buying fur coats here in the Philippines!! Simply useless and futile.. We can leave the crime fighting for the cops. They're paid to do that!!
To attempt to do that more likely! eheheh
2.) The world doesn't need his extraordinary sense of hearing!! We now have cellular phones. Portable and economical! eheheh.. It looks a lot more cooler than Superman's earwax!! ahaha Especially the latest Motorola V3 RazR!! Its to die for.. ehehe.. Why should we need his ears if we can contact people in a click of a finger?? ehehe
3.) The world doesn't need his X-ray vision! We have X-ray machines!! Available to a hospital near you! Call now and you can avail of the latest X-ray machine. Just dial 810-2345. Right now! ehehe.. Just kidding!! Senxai ang way lingaw..

Enough na lageh sa CORNY STUFFS!! Let's get serious!

1.) The world doesn't need Superhuman strength. We don't need someone who could easily lift up Lady Liberty and deploy it here in the Philippines!! All we need is unity. Why?? Because there is strength in Unity. With unity we can do almost anything impossible. All we have to do is to cooperate.
2.) We don't need his superpowers to have a better life!! All we have to do is to trust and believe in God! He is more than superman, batman, the flash all in one. He's the greatest superhero ever exists! He can hear anything even words not spoken! He can see right through walls even the walls of the heart! He can be so strong! Strong enough to lift the world over the palm of his hand. He can be faster than a speeding bullet; even faster than the speed of light! He can use laser vision even without dilating his pupils. He can blow things up with just his pinky finger. Kryptonite can't even scratch Him! His invulnerable and ever immortal.

He can do all things Superman can do amplified a thousand times without having to wear the "brief outside" trademark look!


Now, does the world really need Superman?

I read this poem during our Public Speaking class with our teacher Mdm. Hermosa.. She shared to us this poem and I wanted to share this poem to you.. I don't know the poet though. Either I was not listening when madam mentioned the author or the author was not mentioned at all. But it seems more likely the first option.. heheh.. My batchmates know me and they can tell you that I seldom listen to class discussions.(not for english!! I always listen to Sir Elmer. Sip2x!! hahah).. I found this poem funny yet somehow carries a sense of truth in it.. Such irony!! I can't take it!! heheh.. You better read it for yourself..

..!$*ehEm2x*$!.. ..!$*MiC tEsT*$!..

English is a Stupid Language

Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
There's no egg in the eggplant,
No ham in the hamburger,

And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine it's paradoxes,
We find that quicksand takes you down slowly,
Boxing rings are square
And a Guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writer's write, how come fingers don't fing?
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth?

If the teacher taught,
why didn't the preacher praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables,
what the heck does humanitarian eat?

Why do people recite a play yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and drive on parkways?
How can the weather be as hot as hell
on one day and as cold as hell on another?

English was invented by the people, not computers.
And it reflects the creativity of human race.
(which of course isn't a race at all)

-That is why-

When the stars are out, they are visible.
And why is it that when
I wind up my watch it starts
But when I wind up this poem it ends..

...!$*bOw*$!..

See??!! I can't argue the poet. Not because I don't know him(heheh) but because there is truth in what the poem says.. It is true that there is no egg in the eggplant yet English language still call it an eggplant..Tsk3x.. Poor logic!!(hahah.. like what Sir Elmer often says). There are certain words that contradicts the English language technicalities..

Just like us..

We humans sometimes go beyond the boundary of manhood.. We are mere humans.. An animal in the kingdom animalia phylum chordata with two arms, two legs, a torso and a head. We fly yet we don't have wings.. We swim for hours yet we don't have gills.. We do things contrary to what we were supposed to do.. I am supposed to post a blog entry yet I'm playing counter-strike.. See??!! We humans share one similarity with English language......

In education, teachers are those who help students or pupils learn, often in a school. The objective is typically a course of study, lesson plan, or a practical skill, including learning and thinking skills.

But what if your teacher turns a little younger, a little immature?? What if your teacher don't have the usual lesson plans?? what if your teacher actually wear the same uniform your wearing?? What if your teacher happens to be your classmate?? hmmm.. Quite impossible huh??

Know Your School Day(KYSD) is an event in the University of the Philippines High School in Cebu where students get a chance to act as teachers.. Weird??!! Ibahin nyong U.P.!! Astig school namin!!heheh The whole event is a time for students to tap their teacher's back for a job well done.. It's also a time for students to thank their teachers for not only being a mentor but also for being a parent.. U.P. Faculty rocks!! I'm not doing this because I know my grades are a bit shaky this year(well, 50% true.. heheh I am at your mercy Sir Basadre!! huhuh) but I just want to thank you guys for molding me into a better person!!.. Kachar oi!! heheh.. Anyways, this blog entry is about my classmates being teachers.. So let me start with the opening of KYSD..

KYSD was opened last January 25, 2007.. Unfortunately, being my usual lazy me, I almost got late and I had to run from the gate to the volleyball court just to be in time for the opening(I already have four tardy marks and if I will add one I'd be suspended.. huhuh).
How does it fell being taught by student teachers??

1.) Basically, I feel COMFORTABLE looking at my classmates in the front doing the lectures. It's not like the usual discussions where the teachers have to do the teaching. Having to focus on listening to every word the teacher says and scribbling your pen fast enough to catch-up with the talking teacher sometimes intimidates me.. It's not like I'm not used to listening to my teacher's lectures but its just that I feel more at ease listening to my classmates. Maybe because I can't feel the teacher aura or maybe because my classmate is not a figure of higher authority.. I just can't figure it out!! hahah

2.) I feel INSECURED.. Why?? Because I envy those people who have enough guts and courage to apply as student teachers.. I don't feel responsible enough to be one.. I feel I don't have what it takes to be a student teacher.. hahah.. Lack of self-confidence?? Not really,. I just know I'm not that responsible to take on a higher responsiblity.. I even have problems surviving my student life and here I go asking for more.. heheh..

3.) I feel a bit CONFIDENT to participate in classes.. I don't have to worry about committing mistakes.. When I'm having a difficult teacher-student lecture, I need to put-up a "look!! I understand the lecture and my answer is correct!!" image to them.. Not because I want to impress them or so, but because I don't want them to feel that I didn't understand the lecture because of their way of teaching.. Actually, U.P. Faculty uses effective teaching techniques.. They try their best to input as much information needed.. It's not their fault I'm just too dumb.. heheh.. In the case of participating in class handled by student teachers, I don't have to worry about mistakes.. I feel a bit carefree.. heheh.. Quite confusing?? Even me myself is confused with number 3.. I'm sorry I write poor english.. heheh

That's just basically what my reaction to the KYSD.. It's a good thing I reached 500 words.. Thanks for reading by the way..

The problem with men and women is..
what the heck??!! That's not the problem.
The problem is I need to post a comment in this issue..
Peace Sir!! hahah.. Wrinkles don't fit your flawless face!!..
To finish this blog I need to start it so buckle up!! It's going to be a bumpy ride!!

Engines on..

For starters, a definition of terms.
1.)Man - A man is a male human. The term man (irregular plural: men) is usually used for an adult, with the term boy being the usual term for a male child or adolescent (sometimes also applied to childish adult men). However, the term is also used for a human regardless of age or sex, sometimes even extended to more primitive humanoids than the present species Homo sapiens, as in apeman.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man
2.)Woman - A woman is a female human. The term woman (irregular plural: women) usually is used for an adult, with the term girl being the usual term for a female child or adolescent. However, the term woman is also sometimes used to identify a female human, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "Women's rights".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman
3.)Problems - A problem is an obstacle which makes it difficult to achieve a desired goal, objective or purpose. It refers to a situation, condition, or issue that is yet unresolved. In a broad sense, a problem exists when an individual becomes aware of a significant difference between what actually is and what is desired. Every problem requires an answer or solution.

Well, that did buy me characters!! hahah.. If I'm not mistaken that's already about 274 words.. I'm halfway there.. hahah.. I know, I'm a genius!! heheh.. I' m not a psychologist and I admit i'm not an expert in this field.. I guess I'll just have to give my best shot in this.. You may disagree with my comments but that's my own opinion. It may seem immature. Well, I still have my mom's milk in my lips!!(Hey!! not literally!! quit laughin!! hmmpf!!)

The problem with women is that:

1.)They have the tendency to be MANIPULATIVE.. Come on gurl!! We are captains of our own ships!! Mind your own ship!! heheh.. Don't you think the men should take the driver's seat? Women serves best as navigators!! The girls like to have the boys in the palm of their hands. Of course, men tries their best to act as gentlemen and do what a girl asks but don't abuse the scenario gurl!! Men aren't chess pieces!!
2.)Gurls sometimes are IMPULSIVE. They act on their impulse and instincts. When they are afraid; they shout. When they are happy; they laugh out loud. Heheh.. Get a grip!! You are not the only person in the globe.. Be sensitive with your actions it may turn out offensive to other people.
3.)Hate to admit it but they are sometimes ANNOYING. Peace gals!! I'm not jumping into conclusions. I know not all of you are annoying.. Why do i find them annoying? Because girls sometimes want to be the center of the attention. That sometimes annoy me. "Hey! Do I look fine in these pair of jeans?" See?! Why ask me? Look at yourself at the mirror and answer your own question.
4.)Gurls live in a WORLD OF FANTASY.. They believe in knights in shining armors and damsels in distress. They also believe in wicked witches and prince charming.. For God's sake! We live in the 21st century!! Why are you still stuck in the imperial ages? Why do you always dream that someday my handsome, charming and cute prince will fetch me out of this futile life?? Reality Check.. I'm the only living person handsome, cute and charming enough to be a prince.. heheh.. Living in this world makes gurls expect so much from boys. And thats a big No-No!!
5.)Gurls are so damn SENSITIVE!! They react with almost every word that comes out from my mouth. Words from my mouth are often times senseless.. Thats why they often get hurt.. They take jokes seriously. So it's no wonder how many arguments I encounter with girls in a day.. hahays.. They act as if I'm such a bastard..
6.)Very much SECRETIVE.. They enclose themselves with layers of boxes and cages with padlocks.. They want to build a wall around their secrets. Wrap themselves with cloth.. I just don't understand the logic within these stuffs.. Revealing your secret will not make you less a human.. It's nice to share things with your friends and get to laugh with them.. Tsk3x..
7.)Women are the new species of leopards.. They BACKBITE people!! That so eww.. heheh.. We all know that we can't please everyone because each of us has flaws(that's what makes as humans..).. Spreading those mistakes, those flaws, is never a good idea.. If you find something unusual or bad from another person, keep it to yourself.. Backbiting causes misunderstandings and that misunderstanding results to chaos..
8.)A little less talk, a little more “LISTEN TO ME!!!”.. Women are born naggers.. They are walking megaphones!! They nag at almost everything they see.. They have this tendency to talk, talk and talk again.. They never listen and that's annoying!!!.. It pisses me off!!..
9.)CRY BABIES!!.. They cry easily.. That's not a problem though.. I like girls who cry.. Especially on my shoulders!!! hahah
10.)VANITY!! Women are very vain people.. They want to take every piece of dirt that runs through their veins.. They take a bath for at least thirty minutes.. What kind of dirt do they collect in a day?? Why does it have to take that long??!

The problem with boys is that..
They are simply IRRESISTABLE!!! It's not our fault we were born this way!! hahah.. Just kidding!!

The real problem with men is..

They can't resist WOMEN!! That's their problem!! No matter how much they talk badly about women, they still end up adoring them.. Men are just foolish beings.. heheh

wHaT a bEauTiFuL wEdDiNg!!

"What a beautiful wedding!", "What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter. "And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."
I'd chime in with a "Haven't people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality. I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of...

..!$*eNgKK*$!..

Sorry to cut the momentum but this ain't www. lyrics.com. Hate to break it to you but I'm not finishing the lyrics because i need to finish my blog. But if your really interested with the lyrics though, you can freely visit http://www.lyricsmine.com/lyrics/36660/Panic!_At_The_Disco/I_Write_Sins_Not_Tragedies. If you want to listen to this song(I write sins not tragedies by Panic! at the Disco) you can listen to it at www.youtube.com.

So.. Where were we??!! Ohh, were we talking about "The beautiful wedding?!"heheh. Back to where I was driving at. This wedding was my sister's. I really(300x) enjoyed it!.. I'll tell you the whole story but first let me rewind the video tape to help me remember. heheh

The day after my kuya(my sister's husband) proposed, the whole family was pretty excited. This is the wedding of the century(better than Claudine Barreto's hahah). Let me stress out the fact that my sister will be the first to marry in our generation. This fact made the entire Metoda clan dance with excitement. All were busy preparing with the wedding. My titas were busy designing and preparing what they would wear in the wedding while my mom was busy with the reception. UPians know that we students of the University of the Philippines experience "pennilessm"(state of being penniless! hahah). My mom can't think of a place spacious enough to occupy 300 heads but would only cost 300 pesos(approximately 1 peso per head! heheh). Good thing the Froilans(Last name of my kuya and his mom was a former vice mayor!) were good in this subject!
After a few twists and turns, both the families decided to hold the reception at the Grand Convention Asian Hall.
Problems now were not as heavy(deleting the problem of the reception).
Next thing on the list: wedding gown(because my sibling happens to be a gurl!). My sister had her gown designed by Wendell Quisido(I hope I did not mispell his name. If I did, a heartfelt apology to you sir!).
All important things were set now. The invitations, the gifts and all the other important stuffs were already made. All we have to do is to wait for the big day(January 22, 2006)

..!$*cOck-a-doOdLe-doO!!!*$!..

Church bells were ringing not the sleigh bells that Santa insists during Christmas. I slept the night before that at the Northwinds Hotel to have an easy access to Saint Therese Church. I was already set at around 9 am. I had my hair gelled(I don't know how to spell this but that actually meant hair applied with Gatsby Gel(wax)), my pants ironed, my barong sprayed with perfume(Bench Velocity!! heheh) and my Chucks(Converse Chuck Taylor High-Cut shoes) worn when my mom scolded me for wearing them(unfortunately i had to wear leather shoes! huhuh..).
I arrived at the church and did what we rehearsed. I escorted my sister(my other sister to be specific! not the one to be married you idiot!) because she was the bridesmaid and I happened to be groomsman(a very unlikely fact!!). The ceremony went well. Can we skip the ceremony and go directly to the reception??!! I'm kinda hungry..

..$*Fast-forwarding the video tape to the part of the reception!!*$!..

OK!! All is set and ready to go.. The reception was just like any social gathering. The "usual soup first main dish later scheme" and the "do not speak with your mouth full reminders" were still followed. I hate having to be formal. Every little cell in body resists it. If not for my mom's eyes having to follow me throughout the reception, I could have torn my barong into two.
We had three gatherings for the wedding:
1.) at the GrandCon(the one I mentioned a while ago) for everyone invited
2.)at Deca Homes Subd.(our house at Lapu2x) for the relatives of my ate(my relatives too)
3.)at Pardo(my kuya's house) for the relatives of my kuya(whom I don't know)
Our next hang-out was at Deca. I have my cousins all over the house! I could not hide the grin on my face. It was such a gathering! I got to see my long-lost cousins! heheh.. Artsron was there too. We had a great time! My cousins, Artsron and i went to the internet cafe to do some male bonding(Mind you! We did not view pornographic sites! Did that sound defensive??!! heheh). We played till the sun grew tired of shining and the moon had to do the next shift. We arrived at around 7 pm but the house was still full of drunk people dancing to the tune of songs so old I didn't even knew they existed!!! The party stopped at around 11 pm and we had to deliver the stunned chipmunks(my drunk titos) home because we knew if they try to get home with their own they might venture to their favorite hang-out places(KTV bars; ex. Infinity, Black Hole, etc.. heheh). After doing the task of returning the endangered species, Artsron and I went to Surf and Play 2 to finish our blog.. Unfortunately, I forgot my username and the email address i used(because i currently have 10 email-adds and only 5 of them I can remember). So, instead of doing the blog we had our computer class(the term senior boys use to refer to playing counter-strike). We ended the class at around 2 am. I woke up at 5am the next day. Using what i learned from Calculus,... 5 minus 2 equals 3!! 3 hours of sleep!!! Imagine taking a test with just 3 hours of sleep!!!.. Sony Video Player

..!$*oOpPsS!!!*$!..

The film just stopped! Well, I guessed that was all that happened. Got to end this here guys! See you at my wedding!! That will be soon!! Sooner than you'll ever expect!! heheh

"What a beautiful wedding!", "What a beautiful wedding!"

a FoOLisH pErsOn's eXpeRiEncE (not worth reading)

I read Eragon during the days of our periodical exams and to tell you the truth I prioritized reading this than reading my El Filibusterismo. hehehMy time table had been made. Saturday was allotted for Filipino and Physics while sunday is vacated for Calculus. Unfortunately, the book was glued to my hands. I can't take it off. I was tempted to skim through the pages because the cover really enticed me to do so. But, my plan failed and there was no Plan B. Instead, I read the book and finished it overnight. I repeat, overnight. Imagine reading a 800-page book for just 2 days and one night. That was a heavy task, putting in mind the remaining responsibilities you need to attend to.My effort was not a waste. I really enjoyed reading it. The book was so well done and it seemed that I was a part of the story. The setting was described vividly I could imagine the location right before my very eyes. Well, it will not serve me good if I will keep this experience for myself. I recommend this book for fiction-lovers like me. The story does not only cater to teens but also to children. You can pick up many useful values which may come in handy. Many twists will surface as you finish the novel.Betrayals, friendship and love. Those were just a few of the interesting things that were included in the novel. The ending left me breathless. I wanted more. The ending was so hanging. There are so many questions left unanswered. So many secrets still to be revealed. I guess that is because the story is a trilogy. You can't expect the story to finish in book one.After I read the book I felt guilty. I have so many tasks left undone. I went to my room to compose myself but what welcomed me was a bunch of used clothings, a pile of unopened books and a super messy bed. I can't imagine the look in my mom's face when she gets to see it. My aim, to compose myself, was very far from reality if I will stay in that messy room. So, I went down to the kitchen to replenish myself but the plates and glassess were left scattered in the kitchen sink. After a few murmur of curses, I realized that it was my assigned day to wash the dishes. Just what I needed, a pair of unfinished chores plus a stack of unread notes. Pressure was creeping on me. I didn't know what to do, what to finish first and what to finish last. With all these things crawling in my mind plus the fact that my mom will be arriving soon; this is the perfect mathematic equation. Even Einstein will feel uneasy.Thats what you get for doing things that are not supposed to be done. I just wanted to post this blog so that people will get to realize the importance of time management. One good advice from let's say a well experienced person in this field(me), never follow the foolish guy's deed for God's sake. Following him will make you less a Upian. Trust me!
