"know how it feels to love someone who doesn't love you? you're like the letter "E" in the word love, you're just there and will never ever be pronounced."

jejemon

my first encounter with the word "jejemon" was yesterday from a friend's fb update about a group named "gotta catch the all jejemon" or something like that. then, this morning, manila bulletin's SCU featured several articles about jejemons. i actually read everything and i hated it. from my understanding, jejemons are those who has this "special" way of typing words. jejemon which came from jeje = hehe (they say that this is from pronouncing Juan with J sounding like H thus hehe became jeje).

anyway, from the samples cited in the articles, i was so irritated and had a very hard time understanding what they meant. if before, people would add extra letter H to words and names to make pa-cute, with jejemons, extra letters are everywhere!

although i agree with those interviewed if they are pro or against jejemons, rico blanco even compared it with gay lingo and the other pinoy lingos appearing every now and then (like churva, lurkey, etc). but as my mom said, it's not comparable 'coz with the gay language and the other lingos, they only "create" their special words to replace the normal ones. but with the jejemons, they totally "overhaul" all of the words which makes it totally hard if not impossible to understand what they mean. it's much worse than the text lingo.

i also came to know that gibo was actually against this and they say he has a picture spreading with a note about making these jejemons return to elementary. hehe. this is really a very disturbing news which would really affect (for me) Filipinos' reputation. though these jejemons would say that this is just their way of expressing themselves, to stand out or be cute, most people find them as being idiots who do not know how to spell. too sad coz there are some educated ones that are influenced to be jejemon typist.

bodyshaper

as i was going through old newspapers, i read an article about bodyshaper (those clothing that squeezes our body fats and make our body shapely, hehe). anyway, what caught my attention was that there's also bodyshaper for males! i didn't know that.. hehe.. anyway, guys also need any help there is to make them also look and feel physically attractive. thanks to the inventor/s of such things, even for some time and less expensive than surgery, we can feel and look attractive, less those unflattering bulges that won't leave us. hehe.

crush mode...

hehe.. it's been a while since the crush mode struck me..

i've liked christian bautista even before but was kind of disappointed when he was with rachelle ann, didn't like her anyway, they broke up, hehe..

aside from being cute, he's also a good singer, anyway, here's some pics i found from the net. drool mode...

photography 101

today, we had the photography 101 conducted by dyowi contreras at intramuros branch, sponsored by our HR. this is also my last activity with the bank.

first, he lectured on the basics of photography and the cameras. then we went to intramuros to take pictures based on his assignment. but, honestly i didn't complied to the assignment and just took 20 shots of pictures. hehe. but unfortunately my pics weren't even checked since i don't have memory card for my cam (it has a big built in memory) and i didn't bring my cable connector.

anyway, i'll just post my pictures taken earlier. enjoy.

despedida day

today was back to work day after the long weekend plus 3 days vl.. hehe...

last week, my officemates' plan was to have the despedida over lunch, but this morning i found out that it would be during merienda. and it was like a birthday party. hehe. we had baked mac & bbq (from goldilocks), mango cake (red ribbon) and ice creams (chocolate & strawberry from selecta).

diary of a wimpy kid

went to Trinoma this afternoon with mom & youngest sis to watch movie (actually, to avail of citibank's cinema promo). anyway, when we got to the mall, the lights were a little dim and it's hot, we're not sure if it's brownout or if they're just conserving electricity.

we went to the topmost floor where the cinemas were located to buy our tickets. but, we had to walk the escalator which were all not functioning. argh! i felt i didn't leave the house with the hotness and perspiration, hehe. anyway, we just walked and stood around for about 45 minutes since it would be difficult to wlk down then up the escalator, i really got dizzy looking at them while walking up. hehe..

oh, by the way, there were not much movies to choose from so we just watched "dairy of a wimpy kid." my youngest sis wanted to watch it even before but i strictly refused to let her since i felt it was just nonsense based on the title of the book plus the movie poster. but now, i stand corrected. it's not all nonsense, there were lessons here and there but still, it was just an average killing-time type of movie.

below are the movie poster, synopsis (got it from trinoma cinema site). hehe.





Synopsis:

A young boy enters middle school believing that he's destined to become rich and famous someday. He sets out to become one of the popular kids and end up in the class favorites section of the yearbook, but everything he does just turns out wrong.
