I was reading some of my Friendster private messages when I encountered a spam message containing a link to a scam-porn site. Nah, I’m not inventing this reason to justify my accidental landing to that porn-ish site. I don’t browse porn. Err, I used to. No, I haven’t seen any porn all my life. HAHA. Anyway, there was this intriguing advertisement I have seen on the said site:
Now tell me I’m wrong on saying that this is a spam site. :/
Alvina was bragging me her Freakonomics softbound since first year. I really did not pay any attention to it until I have read some parts of it. So kewl! I am really not a fan of novels since I have a severe short-attention-span when it comes to reading books. So, I resort to short stories. But I read lengthy books if they are really good enough and are really interesting. Anyway, when I, Leah and Noemi are bound for our respective houses, I accidentally found a hardbound version of Freakonomics worth PhP 99.00! FTW!
My Psycholinguistics professor told us something about grades:
Grades tell your performance, not your ability (Yu, 2008).
Hear, hear I say. I’m not getting gaga over grades but as much as possible..
I strive so that my ability would reflect my performance (Aguado, 2008).
But (Yeah, I’m a bench-sitter!) as much as I want to have good grades, I am not as conscious as other people. Haha. I like doing many non-academic, leisurely, unproductive and time-wasting endeavors like watching Grey’s Anatomy, playing with my Labrador for at least an hour, staring at the boob-tube, stalking her and other things that prevent me to do homeworks. I told myself once that I am a person who is so mature that I have the longest attention-span for my age. But hey, I’m freakin’ wrong. I wonder if people with short-attention span know that they have such! Since they can’t think and reflect about it since they have, err, short-attention span. Haha. Anyway, having such condition really sucks, I can’t concentrate on a single activitiy! No, I’m not multitasking, I’m simply not doing my tasks!!

My block in college really loves watching movies. We have this tradition of movie-cycles wherein we pass movie DVDs or CDs to each other, movie-purchasing wherein we purchase movies from Alvina, the official pirate CD-Burning entrepreneur of the block batch and, of course, movie-conferencing wherein we informally discuss the movies that we have watched. Love of Siam was once the talk of the town, especially by Arvin. They can’t get over with it. I wondered why, until I watched it (twice) just today. So here I am, can’t get over, suffering from the feeling of separation, suffering from the Love-of-Siam-syndrome. I would be having a reflection about the movie but first, let’s have a run-down through the finest review-summary I have found in the internet.
The Love of Siam (Chukiat Sakveerakul, 2007)
Thai Title: Rak haeng Siamhttp://oggsmoggs.blogspot.com/2008/04/love-of-siam-2007.html
To label Chukiat Sakveerakul’s The Love of Siam as simply a gay teen romance is to misjudge its power and intention. Within the two and a half hour running time (the director’s cut is reportedly four hours long) of the film, Sakveerakul essays not only the two young leads’ reunion and inevitable attraction but also a family’s slow and painful road to accepting a long-delayed reality. I would like to think that The Love of Siam, above everything else, seeks to reaffirm the life-affirming values of loving and being loved without sacrificing the portrayal of the very palpable pain that usually accompanies the emotion.

I get anonymous comments from anonymous people in Friendster. Several of them use a kind of language that is very popular (I guess) among some youth. I respect people who use this kind of language but it makes me tired reading such. :/
I just bought a ticket for a concert that I can’t attend. I know that’s weird, and perhaps, a waste of money. I bought it from a friend whose org will sponsor the said concert. If you assume that we are close (the ticket-seller and I) as a justification for my random-ticket-buying, well you’re wrong. I don’t know, I just can’t say no. This behavior of mine already placed me in great relationship loopholes before, even answering yes to questions that I should answer no. If I know that I should say no, I don’t say it explicitly. This is normal to Filipino Culture but mine is far worse or far better (Perspective?).
The University of the Philippines Pep Squad bucked the pressure and went ethnic and more to run away with its second straight UAAP Samsung Cheer Dance Competition crown before a record crowd at the Araneta Coliseum.
The Maroons did everything, from mixing tribal songs and dances with difficult stunts and acrobatics, to having their locks cut – Mohawk and ethnic style – before capping their sterling performance with a human replica of the university’s Oblation to retain the crown they won last season.
UP won it handily with a score of 93.3 points, way ahead of the Santo Tomas Salinggawi Dance Troupe, which also finished runner-up for the second straight time with 85.3 points. Far Eastern U Cheering Squad took third place honors with 83.9 points.
Jo-ann: People often wish for the so-called “best of both worlds” thinking that the possession of such will make them happy. Or in some cases, happier. But once you get the best of both worlds that you’re pinning for, do you really become happy?
aLps: No. Because together with the best things are the worst things of both worlds. ∞
My friends and I went to National Bookstore a few days ago to purchase some notepads which we will use as corporate giveaways. These will be given away for a min-seminar this week. After some searching and comparing, we found the best pad with the best price:
With the most random writings inside:
One of the key factors to consider when passing a legislation is urgency. For example, if there are many outsiders entering the premises of a school, the principal might strictly implement a no-id-no-entry policy. Or, another one, if frogs are near extinction, the authorities concerned about the environment may prohibit students using frogs for scientific, academic purposes.
And if there are too many couples publicly showing-off their supposedly-private love affairs, a dean of a college might impose something like this:
Several of these are already posted in our college. But, as far as I am vigilant, public display of affection is not yet a problem in the college. Hmmm.
Funnily, these posters are posted in places with relatively few people (How strategic :p).
