Frustration
by Romeo Moran III

ETCH

that's also the answer to the question "guess where i am right now."

when you gots to have it the right way

i will not cover/add to this week's surge of anti-school system posts; i believe jam, fozzy, and vicky have lit the fire enough already.

instead i will blog about something that is spreading like a plague amongst the world. (no, not hale, i'm saving that for another day :D) it's the misuse of the apostrophe (case in point: ' ). on the way home from pansol yesterday, my parents launched into a small discussion on how everyone and their mother (except me, of course, and some few people) is misusing the apostrophe these days. it's like a mockery of how to create a sensible sentence.

take for example:

i have bought a cat. it's name is pusy.

or

look! up in the sky! its a bird! its a plane! no, its supermen! (sarcastic caution: supermen is intentional.)

don't you just hate those? i do. it's a sign of inferiority. (look at me, i'm being all perfectionist again. hello dianne.) i am prone to making those mistakes; if i ever do, i catch myself in the act and quickly revise it - because if i don't, my conscience will haunt me.

where did this problem stem from? it's probably from the short-handedness of ym and texting. whatever belongs to ym and texting, it stays there. whatever belongs to the real world, stays in the real world. you shorthand things in irc or text (i don't shorthand in ym anymore) but you should never ever ever ever shorthand things in blogs and term papers and essays and whatnot.

you may not know it, but you do it too, you know. it pisses me off - i'm a grammar nazi.

tearjerking

sa sobrang ganda, di ko na bibigyan ng explanation. ililink ko na lang at kayo na ang bahala.

nonoy's laptop

yesterday was probably the funnest english period ever. (hopefully, something better will top that.) due to its being after recess, we had a short puzzle bubble open. and because i was able to finish round 20 faster than fern could finish round 19, i stood up to cheers, applause, and high-fives :D

and after the whole lesson we got to snoop around nonoy's laptop. there was a ton of madonna mp3s, an old-school NFS 2, and a candid picture.

"wowie, paano kaya kung may sir sabilano scandal?"
nonoy: "samaaa!"

nawala tuloy ang sasabihin ko

i've had this blog planned out last night due to boredom. thanks to sleep, i've lost it. bah, humbug.

perseus

tomorrow i'll be wearing a skirt. but at least i won't be playing a gay guy.

[EDIT] since i'm in lab 3, i'm bored.

diomampolution's hydrophobia

bakit ba ako lang ang marunong/may gustong lumangoy sa diomampolution? i mean, leiron and mark don't know how/don't want to swim, for some reason. i don't get it - what's so wrong with swimming?

music rants / your boy's a bad man

[rodney, di pa ito ang anti-hale blog. i think i need a go-signal from my sister.]

what's with kelly clarkson's new image? looks like she took some sort of dip into goth/angsty teen. at least, the hazel eyes video reminds me of evanescence.

i want the albums all that remains and you can't see me.

i still can't quite get the message from the marion raven song (end of me), aside from the fact that it pretty much explains her new self. but the lines, "stay with me / as i'm getting naked / stripped down to the floor" are a bit too gigi for me, if you catch my drift.

"delivering monologues in front of a crowd, either small or huge, are nerve-wracking for me; the factors present in the mix are stage fright, shock (sometimes), anxiety, and a fear of loss for words, all due to the spontaneous nature of the said activity."

that's 45 words. i want that incentive.

i feel restricted

i'm in ECH-TI-EM-EL class right now. i feel dumb because most of my classmates here don't know how to code (or has forgotten), and i feel like i'm beaten down to their level.

please, i design my own layouts. don't treat me like i don't know this.

P.S. - ibarra, mag-ingat ka.

if you had the money to spend

while i was traipsing across the interweb, i found this on chio's blog.

1. Three material things you can't live without:

2. Top 3 clothing brands:
- polo
- old navy
- ???
3. Scents you love...

- On the opposite sex: doesn't matter as long as mabango
4. Brand of gel (guys), hairspray (girls)

12. Do you think vanity is bad?
- yes, it's bad, if your blog is cluttered with pictures of you to the point na nagca-crash na yung mga pc ng ibang tao kapag pumunta sila. *ubo*

week in review / OH-EM-GEE

so far, week's been good. only shocking moments are ms. vicky's god-damned list of procedures, and the fact that mr. sabilano has decided to put us through impromptu speaking.

how did he do that? by taking us by surprise.

---

OH-EM-GEE.

noypidity comment:

"At 4:51 AM, Mak said…

hi your blog is great. Lot's of good funny wowowee stuff to reminisce here.


Btw, I added your blog site in www.kapamilya.now.nu

Thanks, and keep up the great work on the blog -- very entertaining."

now that's a fansite, but links + fansite + more traffic = more readers of noypidity. we're one step closer to the big time, sis and fozzy!

[we're listed on the links page as "Wowowee funny moments blog". lol]

and while we're on the topic, those of you who have never been to noypidity at least once in your lifetime, go here now.

btw, congrats papi - hopefully you can make this marriage last. also, i swear that i will update noypidity tomorrow and on monday - we're expecting lots of readers. hopefully.

do you love your vihbih?

hey, i'm stuck in ECH-TE-EM-EL class. how about you?

not as bad as i expected.

my class is under mr. sabilano (familiar to some freshmen). he isn't viroomal-ish, which is a big plus. the day was boring in itself; batista, our own adviser, and that sir tom clone had big periods of patlang, and they filled it up quite nice, one way or the other. but during that, the worst was dreaded. in those periods of utter boredom, it was utter boredom. why? this was no SB - there was no leiron or fozzy to talk to, there was no dianne to pester, and it wasn't worth changing seats, even if i have to talk to angelic out of pure boredom. (no offense, angelic.) i even caught myself before writing "S-B" on that booklet profile form. maybe when karlo comes, that's all going to change. hopefully. oh, and yaps arrived.

anyway, the rest of the afternoon was spent on kabangagan - repeating the words "do you like your vehbeh" and "ECH-TE-EM-EL" (HTML), and singing that vengaboys song. "di ako sasali. di ako sasali."

how was your first day?

ETA: 17 hours. and counting.

17 hours until we are reacquainted with the sound of the bell ringing again.

only that we're not entering the same classrooms.

only that we won't be interacting with the same people.

only that we're going to be staring down a new teacher.

only that we're going to find new seatmates.

only that we're facing new subjects.

to swing it in a positive light, at least we get to see each other again. tomorrow, expect me to be leaving late. which means i have the whole afternoon. looks like more adventures with rodney.

the last friday we'll ever spend together

as it stands now, there is the weekend left standing between us and school year 2005-2006.

once again we'll be cramming, cooking, studying, passing, failing (yeah, some of us will be. i don't plan to anymore), wishing for the weekends, doing experiment papers, begging teachers, grumbling at bitching teachers, doing homework, losing our minds on physics (for you sophomores, you'll be losing your minds in trig and chemistry), practicing for intrams, and many others that escape my mind right now.

although, i would like to imagine how this year's fair would be like.

and once march rolls by again, you'll be wishing that the school year wouldn't end, much like how you're wishing the summer wouldn't end.

fun (edited version)

a picture is worth a thousand words. four of those words are "leiron took the picture".

the time is now!

today, i turn a decade and a half old.

any regrets?

hell no. ;)
