Word of the Day!

1 jejemon

1) Usually seen around social networking sites such as Friendster and Multiply, jejemons are individuals with low IQs who spread around their idiocy on the web by tYpFing LyK diZS jejejeje, making all people viewing their profile raise their eyebrows out of annoyance. Normal people like you and me must take a Bachelor of Arts in Jejetyping in order to understand said individuals, as deciphering their text would cause a lot of frustration and hair pulling.

CAUTION: THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE BREEDING! THEY CAN BE SEEN WRECKING GRAMMATICAL HAVOC ON FACEBOOK TOO!

2) Jejemons are not just confined to trying-hard Filipino gangsters and emos. A Jejemon can also include a variety of Latino-Hispanic fags who enjoy typing "jejejejeje" in a wider context, much to the disdain of their opponents in an internet MMORPG game such as Ragnarok and DOTA.


3) Basically anyone with a low tolerance in correct punctuation, syntax and grammar. Jejemons are usually hated or hunted down by Jejebusters or the grammar nazi to eradicate their grammatical ways.

Example on YM or AIM:

miSzMaldiTahh111: EoW pFuOh!

You: Huh?

miszMaldiTahh111: i LLyK tO knOw moR3 bOut u, PwfoH. crE 2 t3ll mE yur N@me? jejejejeje!

miszMaldiTahh111: T_T



2 jejemon
- a person WhO tyPeZ lYKeS tH1s pfOuh..
whether you are RICH, MIDDLE CLASS or POOR ifpK eU tYpE L1K3 tHiS pfOuh..eU are CONSIDERED AS JEJEMON.

- (noun or adj.)---a person who is very expert in typing..
- a person that never gets tired of typing consonants in all of his/her comments...
- a person that destroys the morale of language in any typing media like internet,cellphones...etc...
- an emo/gangster who owns all the possible negative qualities of a person.
- is the derrogative term used for a certain categorized kind of people.They type JEJEJE or JEJEJE when they want to express laughing in written words, which happen more than often. This is why we call them jejes.

JEJE-Similar to hehehe but more like a naughty chuckle coming from the back of your throat. For instance, used while plotting an evil plan.

ex. 1. I'm going to make that guy look like such a zaris..JEJEJE
ex. 2. "omg! my sister farted" jejeje
ex. 3. 3Ohw phOwh eVeR1yBhOodY! jejeje!
ex. 4. pFroUwd 2 b @ jEJ3mOn!

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF JEJEMON PEOPLE?
Sign that it is a jeje you are dealing with is that he (they are most commonly masculine) seems to have low intelligence. This is because 1. they can not express themselves in the English language as good as an average person 2. it seems that their kind is simply dumber. 3. Their names are also often begun with "El" then followed with a random spanish or portuguese word. 4. they put too much letters and symbols in everyword they say even in their god damn NAMES or ALYASES.

Birds on the fence

I was mowing my lawn when I saw a couple of birds on my fence. They were the same birds that I remembered my wife was telling me about. They usually sit there in the morning, not minding my dog’s bark, until afternoon. And since I normally sleep-in during weekends, by the time I got up these birds had long been gone.

They were two birds; my wife thought they’re partners. They’d snuggle each other under each other’s wings. And after a while the male flies away, leaving the female behind. Surprisingly, she never leaves the spot where he left her. After few minutes, the male would come back and they would do some ‘tweet tweet’ together, do a couple of slow walk here and there, and then snuggle again. Occasionally the male bird flies to my dog’s little hut. My dog, Elmo, will just give it an exhausting look as it snatches some of his food. I couldn’t blame my dog for not moving a single muscle; he must be tired barking all day at these birds.

As I watch them I couldn’t help but think of the human relationship. Are we like these birds that snuggle under each other’s arm, sing “tweet tweet” together, and wait for our partner when they go somewhere? Are we willing to risk our lives and snatch food from a loud and hyperactive dog that any moment we could be caught and might end up just one of his toys? What if we die while we’re searching for food, will our partners wait and not look for us? Will our partners die waiting?

I read in the newspaper 6 out 10 marriages ended in divorce and/or separation. If the divorce rate is high, why do we get married then? What is the secret of a long lasting relationship? Should we consider this statistic as basis of our relationship? If so, are we ready to be alone for the rest of our lives? What can ascertain our marriage to last forever, if not forever, well at least until we withered?

As I was driving to pick up my wife today, these nagging questions keep playing in my head. I can’t seem to find all the answers. I even questioned why I got married. When my wife got on and started talking how her day went, I felt like the light bulb in my head suddenly turned on. And then I looked at my wife, kissed her and told her ‘I love you!’ She asked me how come I suddenly became very sweet. I just smiled back and asked her to continue telling me how her day went. Not that I’m not listening to my wife, I just suddenly found the answer to my nagging questions - love, no matter what shapes or forms, does magical things to people… it has special powers that move people into action…. it has the softest voice that people listens to and follows without coercion, and it has the most delicate touch that everyone longs to feel. LOVE allows everyone to be like those birds on my fence…. because love is not a feeling, but energy that fuels us to do and not to do certain things.

....parenting.....

I was having dinner with my very good friends when we brushed into parenting. It’s been awhile since the last time we got together and it was a perfect time to catch up. They live in the city and we live about 30mins from them (via freeway), but we don’t see each other more often than we should. I guess this is what happens when you live in a very busy country….

Anyway, back to parenting, we (my wife and I) asked my friend if he’s ready to be a father, to have a little angel in their lives. My friend, being a funny man that he is, just answered ‘yes’ and then laughed at everything… I know he’s just being funny… but I also feel that he’s ready. How did I know he’s ready? Well… I don’t know… I just feel that he is. Did it happen to you when you know something’s going to happen and you don’t know how, when and why? Well, that’s what I felt in that moment… I just know he’s ready.

To help my good friend prepare for fatherhood I shared with him my experiences. As a father to a 12-year old girl, it’s not easy. And as I shared myself to him, I can’t help to be personal…. I talked about my father and how I hate to be like him. Of course he has his takes on this thing too, but that doesn’t matter, we all have takes on everything. I was telling him the value of spending time with your kid, and how crucial it is during the first 7 years of the kid. To be honest, I think this is what I’m missing with my daughter. I wasn’t there for her during her development years. That’s probably the reason why I’m working double time to mend those missed years, I did miss a lot!

And then I thought to myself, why I am advising my friend on how to be a good parent when I, myself, am a work in progress. I haven’t raised a perfect child… I’m still working on it. And with the rate I’m going, I don’t think I have much time… she’s 12 now. Soon she’ll be a teen and she’ll be totally different by then. That would require a different approach…. perhaps.

There are at least two stacks of books in the library about parenting, at least there’s one that explains how to be one, or is there really? I didn’t get any advice from my father on how to be a good parent, I just based it from my experience with him. Some of my friends told me to be such and such, some made sense and some didn’t, but are they right? I mean, their kids are still growing up…. And like me, they all are ‘work in progress.’

And then I thought, what about those animals in the wilds, for instance the tigers. Nobody told them to raise their cubs. They didn’t have any books or manuals on how to be a parent, and yet they’re raising their cubs perfectly. I mean, these cubs act like a tiger, move like a tiger, think like a tiger, hunt like a tiger and live like a tiger…. they are raised accordingly.

And then I thought, maybe being a parent is personal. The things that work for others may not work for me and likewise. Why? Well, basically we have different experiences, we have different values, we have different understanding, and most importantly we have different personalities. Nothing can correctly map our attributes with the hundreds of parents in this world and create a parenting equation that will suit everyone…. in a perfect world that’s probably possible… but we’re not in a perfect world.

And so I thought, to be a good parent, we have to be, at least, a good person, a good friend, a good son/daughter and a good partner. It is our everyday conduct that teaches our kids to be just like us - good individuals. It’s the word that we use that educate them how to show love… and hate, to respect…. and disrespect, to be faithful… and corrupt. It is our everyday's sharing of ourselves that defines the kind of individuals we are raising our kids…making us good or bad parent… what do you think?

Get rid of him, fast!!!

You were in a pub, enjoying your time with your friends. Suddenly a guy walked up to you. He tried starting a conversation, but you can't make out what he's saying because of the loud music, besides you're not that interested. He offered you a drink but before you said 'No' he walked out and grabbed you one. He then continued making conversation, but you're really not into him. Then he asked for your number. What will you do?

You're in party of a very dear friend. She introduced someone to you, she's really keen on matching you up with this guy. But you don't like this guy, as a matter of fact, his moves made you uncomfortable. He gave you his number. How do you get rid of him?

You're in a life and death situation when this guy came to your rescue. He wanted to continue the friendship but you're not sure of it. He gave you his number and asked you to call him. You don't want to disappoint him. What will you do?

Have you ever been in the above predicaments? If so, you don't have to worry! There's a solution how to get rid of the annoying person trying to hook you up. This is safe and confidential, and gives a 100% no-return-call guarantee. Give this number to that person and he will never call you ever again!

So try it now. Give this number and have a peaceful and relaxing day.

The number is 0419 317446.

Again, the number is: 0419 317446

..... give it and start living your most relaxing day!!!!

Note: Exclusive to australian customers.

I am not resposible for any physical harm caused by giving away this number, nor any ruined friendship.

Please use with care.






When you see the guy in the above picture, run as fast and as far as you could. He's the very reason why the above number was set-up.

… argh! Sooooo frustrating!!!!!

I don’t know what’s in the head of those people who replaced their customer reps with machines, it’s just soooo stupid, I say!

I’ll tell you what; I called my credit institution to inquire about a particular payment method. You see, I have two huge purchases and I want to pay-off the one that expires first. Right, so I called them and a machine answered me. It asked me what I wanted to do, I kept saying ‘payment option’ and it kept taking me to credit card payment; and when I said ‘option’ it kept taking me to payment schedule option. And once I’m in there, there’s no more choices, you either pay or listen to your payment schedule. There’s no option to go back to the previous menu, you will have to hang up, call them again, enter your account number again and go through the same process… bloody hell!

I called them several times and I still can’t find ways to go to the option that I wanted. Argh! And so out of frustration I said ‘I just want General Info!’ and viola! It took me to the general info option, but still there’s no payment method option, but hey! there’s an option to speak to the customer representative. At long last a human customer representative!

And so yeah I was talking to the customer representative, finally! I can't help but vent out my frustration on their voice recognition machine; that it took me almost an hour just to get through him. It probably took me a good 20mins venting out my frustration… hayyyyy. Anyway, after that I went to talk about what I really wanted. So what do I really want?

What I want is a facility to allocate my payment to a particular purchase. I’ve got two huge purchases, one is interest free and the other is not. One of them will expire soon. I told the rep that I wanted to pay Purchase A with X amount as it’ll expire soon. And then the sales rep explained to me how the payment allocation works and blah blah blah. Of course I said I want to override their automatic allocation, again the rep just repeated what he said and kept telling me that I can’t do it as the machine does it AUTOMATICALLY, but he’s happy to do it for me. That means every time I make a payment I will have to ring them, spend a good 20 mins to their machine before I speak to the rep, and then explain to the rep what I wanted, only then can re-allocate the payment for me…. geezzz… what a whole lot of trouble! And mind you, i have to do this every time i pay!!!! Argh!

Ok, enough of the credit institution’s lack of adequate business procedures, let’s talk about the machine that kills my time! Before this voice recognition machine they had the same auto answering machine, but it gives you a list of options to choose from. At least the previous one is intuitive. With the current voice recognition support, you can easily get lost, and the constant confirmation is really annoying! How can you call this customer service when it’s not actually doing the service that I want, let alone point me to the right direction? Argh!

I don’t know what these companies are thinking. If they’re going to have such a system, at least give us (customers) the option to talk to real people, and not some machines that don't understand our frustrations. I think if they don’t do something about this, they’ll definitely loose customers. I, alone, am thinking as soon I’m finished paying off the two purchases I would close my account and find a much better institution with human support, and not some machine that eats up my time… and patience!

Love Quote of the Day!

"Distance never separates the hearts that really love. Each one may not get to hold each other in their arms all through the night, but deep inside they truly know that they can't let go of each other. So be brave, be strong and have faith, for a minute of sadness is 60 seconds of happiness that you can't take back."



p.s.
as promised, may this quote keep you stronger and focused.

Love Quote of the Day!

".....it doesn't matter how many hands we had held hands with.... our hands will keep going back to the one with perfect fit. It doesn't matter however big or small the other hands are.... nor how rough and hard they feel. What matter is the homely feeling that sparks when we held hands with our perfect fit."

When to Stop Trying……

i wrote this a year ago.... and still want to share to yo'll.....


When to Stop Trying……

My wife scheduled me for an eye surgery at 6.00am in North Sydney. Being miles away from that suburb took us to wake up very early on that day, which we don’t normally do. I don’t know about other people, but when I don’t get enough sleep I’m grumpy the whole day. Anyway, it goes without saying, it wasn’t a good morning.

Then we have to walk few minutes to the bus station on a cold, eerie morning, I thought - any moment vampires could be jumping on us – thank God we got to the bus station without missing a piece.

From the bus station it’ll take about a good 5mins to the train station, and not being in my good self you’d know how long that 5mins felt… it was boring long!

Luckily when we got to the train station there’s a train waiting for us. We quickly jumped on the train, looked for a nice and comfy spots and settled there. My wife really knows how to start a conversation; she filled our trip with lots of stories that made it less boring.

Oh and by the way, the other reasons I wasn’t in my good self because I’m pretty scared of the surgery. Who wouldn’t? It’s my eyes that we’re talking about here and it’s my 2nd major surgery (The first was my 'tuli').

Anyway, we eventually got to the hospital. And just like any other hospitals, even though you have a scheduled time, you still have to wait…. and so we waited.

While I was waiting, I overheard a couple talking about having a baby. Well, they both wanted to have a baby but I feel the woman is more worried because of their commitments. And I heard the woman said, ‘Maybe it’s not our time yet, let’s just wait and stop thinking about it. If we’re meant to have a child, it’ll come in its own perfect time.’

And then I thought, if we wanted something, do we really wait for our perfect time? When is the prefect time? When we’re old and not able to enjoy it? When we’re young and snowed with commitments? Who gets to say… ‘ok, now, it’s your turn’? Do we just let fate decide for something we really want? Do we stop trying?

I have a very good friend and classmate that’s two-month pregnant. They have been waiting for that baby. They were not successful at first, and that was the most painful experience her family had…. I could almost cry reading her story. Even so, they didn’t wait, they kept trying because they think there, here and now is the right time to have an angel in their family. And look at her now, she’s pregnant and expecting. If she would have waited and stopped trying, would she be this happy?

I remembered some of my friends in manila. I didn’t hear them wanting for some kids, but it’s like they’re giving birth every year. Does that mean it’s always their time to have kids? But they couldn’t even support themselves let alone a child. What are the real parameters in having a baby? Our financial and emotional conditions, are they ones of the ‘X’s in the equation?

If women in their 60s pray day and night for a baby, will they eventually have one although their biological clock is ticking like crazy? Is science correct when it say’s women stop producing baby at such and such age? Were they destined not to have baby early in their lives? Does this mean they waited too long? If so, when do we stop waiting?

These thoughts kept running around my head when the nurse called my name. Oh yeah, it’s my turn now and soon I’ll have a good vision that I always wanted. Did I let this happen by itself? Well, my wife booked me for this surgery, we both made an effort to get up early in the morning and we’re not morning people, plus the walk to the bus station is as scary as the first part of Michael Jackson’s thriller video.
I thought I stopped trying for a better vision… but I didn’t. My wife said that I just took a rest and then started trying again…. She always sees me constantly looking, searching, wanting for a better vision….. and now I have it.

Flash! Pluto can now be seen with the naked eyes

.. guys, pluto can now be seen with the naked eyes.... see proof below:

... pain that won't go away ...

.... i was in deep sleep when i felt a cold hand on my arms and a silent weeping. i opened my eyes and saw my wife, there, next to me, crying in pain. She's wincing as she slowly said.... 'mahal.. sobrang sakit!'. At first i couldn't make out what she's trying to say, when i saw tears flowing from her cheeks i understood... she's in great pain.

i held her and asked her what was wrong. she said something about her tummy. i tried to comfort her, gave her anything to eat, but then nothing seemed to work, the pain won't go away.

I asked her if she'd like me to take her to the hospital. She said that they (hospitals) will just make us wait and try to pacify our minds as they sent us back home with loads of prescriptions and unrelieved pain. I had terrible experience with some hospitals in the philippines and i understand where my wife is coming from, and so i decided to stay awake and be with her as I pray for the pain to go away. I even asked the ever powerful Lord to take the pain away from my wife and give it to me. But time passed and she's still crying in pain.

When i couldn't anymore contain my worries and fear, i begged that i take her to the closest hospital. The pain must be too much that all she could do is follow. And so i changed my clothes, wrapped her in her robe and grabbed the keys. At 5am we're on the freeway to the nearest hospital.

We went directly to the emergency entrance. Although it says 'emergency', no one seemed to take us seriously. I know they can see my in-pain wife, she can barely walk for pete's sake! I almost lost my tempter. But then i thought to myself, if i got out of control there, that'll delay us and will prolong the suffering of my wife, and so i calmed down and gave in to the nurses.

We waited 30minutes before someone attended to us, talk about emergency! They asked my wife and myself of so many things about my wife's condition. I could see my wife's difficulty in speaking because of the pain, and so i suggested if they can give us anything to fix the pain. She was given something, but that only numbs her tongue, the pain is still there. They asked us to wait for another minute for an ecg, after the ecg they sent us out and asked us to wait for the blood test. After the blood test they made her rest in a gurney and stitched her to a dextrose, we are then asked for a urine test.

It was 10am when finally the doctor came and talked to us. He asked a more detailed questions and asked us to have my wife's abdomen xray-ed. Again we waited, as we wait the pain is becoming intense. And so i asked the doctor if they could help my wife, if they can't fix the pain, at least give us something to lessen it to a point bearable. And she was given a morphine. And she fell asleep.

While she's asleep, a nurse walked up to us and asked us to move to the chairs as the gurney's for examination not for resting. I was hesitant to move my wife as it's her first nap since 10pm last night. But the nurse had lowered the bed and woke up my wife, there's nothing i could but assist my wife to the closest chair and allowed her to continue her rest.

After few minutes the doctor came back only to tell us that nothing is wrong with my wife, and that she needs to have an ultrasound. But since it was sunday, and they don't do ultrasound on sunday, we'll have to wait for the next day, that is if we can find a pathology that would take us, normally for exams like this the waiting time is 4 weeks, minimum.

The doctor says there's nothing he can do without that test. And so he sent us home, prescribed us with some medications to ease the pain, and like what my wife said, the unrelieved pain. Well, at least it's not as intense as before and she's a bit drowsy.... she can get some uninterrupted rest at home.

Now she's next to me, resting, but in a frown because of that same pain that kept her up all night. I don't know what to do but wait for the pain to finally subsides... neither she can't do anything... the doctor has washed his hand and sent us home. And as i write this i can't help thinking, are our hospitals equipped with the right people? Well, the nurse took awhile to find the right vein to get some blood from my wife, they did a whole lot of exams, the doctor too asked us for some exams.... and yet the pain that we brought there for them to fix is still with my wife to bear...... or am i just soaking into the drama because i haven't had enough rest?

How many people out there had the same experience?

How many lives were saved? How many were lost?

If lost, how?

Before i took her to the hospital she said that they will just make us wait and send us home with prescriptions and pain that won't go away. She was right. But had i obeyed her, she would still be crying in pain now..... instead of resting.

Cool!

... just sharing one of my cool videos find...

Dead fantasy

First

I normally just read blogs of other people. But then one time i thought, what would it be like to share my thoughts to other people... or the world... I know I would get different reactions... some might even loathe me. And so i asked myself, will that ever affect who i am and my family? will that somehow have an impact on my personal judgments? will i ever consider the idea of other people towards me in my personal planning and decision making?

there's nothing wrong in sharing a piece of ourselves to the world.....what would be wrong though is to use other people to achieve our personal goals....

so here you go.... my first contribution to the blog world...... come and join me as i get to know the other side of me.

rapido!
