What’s the fuss all about Edward Cullen?!

In every social networking site and blog I go, Edward Cullen is there. My girl friends, moreover, are going gaga over this fictional character. Janelle once requested me to read Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight too see how a guy would react to this for-girls novel. And I haven’t finished it. I believe I wasn’t motivated that much (If it wasn’t Janelle who requested me, I won’t read it actually :P). Just one observation in the novel: Cullen is &%**& overrated. Haha. He is the epitome of perfection every girl would fall for.

And I hate him. Haha.

If there’s one lesson every girl should learn, it would be this:

The ideal guy is nonexistent.

*Evil grin*

Hey, I’m here, if you want someone existent. :P

 

Jel: I can’t believe this! We’ve been together for EIGHTEEN SOLID YEARS. :( M&M’s Peanut-Slash-Yellow is my only happiness in the world. How can he not know? :(( I’ll exchange it for Ferrero and for anything else. :((

aLps: It is still M&M’s. You brat. Oh girls.. Boys love generalities.. Girls love specificities.. :P

 
Lame shots :( I just want to have shots of her while she’s young (She actually looks thin in pictures :/). The next time I could have a decent time to have decent shots of her is still uncertain–due to this thing called academics. Oh well. My sister and I actually came up with different names as candidates for her final name: Eclipse, Twilight and Midnight (Stephenie Meyer much?). I chose midnight because “Eclipse” sounds masculine. “Twilight” is boring. “Midnight” is just perfect. :DNotice her blaaaackness. So black, you can’t see her face at some angles. So black, we sometimes doubt her existence as a dog (Wut?). Haha, I mean, she seems to look like a silhouette or a shadow of a dog sometimes. xDJust like the typical Lab, she’s really playful. Yay, I can’t wait for her to grow big (the bigger, the better). I am not fond of pakyut dogs kasi like chihuahua. Haha.
Can you see her face?
 

Rish: Alps, do you say “I love you” to your guy best friend?

aLps: What?! No!

Rish: JM’s* guy best friend says “I love you” to him.

aLps: Aww, I think guy-friends take that more of a joke rather than a serious one. It may be half meant but it is still packaged to be funny.

Rish: No, he tells that in a serious tone. Like in comments in Friendster or in his text messages to JM*.


aLps: Where’s my cellphone? :O ∞

*JM is Rish’s boyfriend.

 

At long last! A Nike Free for me! Err, actually this is my dad’s. But I told him that he should buy something that I could wear too. And with sole little powers of persuasion, we have a pair!

Grammar suicide chronicles my daily encounters with everything grammatically suicidal. This is not meant to laugh onto Filipinos’ ingenuous English grammar usage but is, rather, meant to induce awareness about the common Pinoy-style deviations from the proper usage of the language. (Charing!)

I got one! :D (EV982830)

2008 marks the 100th anniversary of the University of Philippines, by any measure one of the most influential institutions in the country.

University of Philippines was established in 1908 by the American colonial government to provide quality education to deserving students of all classes. UP treasures its institutional autonomy and nurtures excellence in a climate of academic freedom. Throughout its history, UP has played a leading role in the nation’s life.

Today, UP is a university system of seven constituent universities and one autonomous college, with eleven campuses strategically located across the country.

In commemoration of this, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has issued 100-piso banknotes with the overprint of the UP Centennial 2008 logo.

The logo, overprinted on the watermark space to the right of President Roxas’ portrait, symbolizes 100 years of “academic excellence and service to the nation.”

The purple and white 100-piso note is the most commonly used purchasing bill. Its fron features the bust of Mnauel Acuña Roxas, the first president of the independent Republic of the Philippines in 1946. To the right is the flag if the Philippine Republic rising as the American flag is lowered symbolizing a new dawn. The back of the note depicts the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas buildings. ∞

“Photoc’s”

I assume that the Photocopying person made this to help lost freshmen find a photocopying booth. This could be correct if the photocopier operator’s name is Photoc. And Photoc’s is the booth’s name. Haha. ∞
