English booboos

My friend, Jayce and I have been having these really crazy (and super fun) sessions of talking abt ways of mangling the Engish language. Don't get us wrong, I mean, Jayce and I have our own share of bloopers... but i don't know, for some reason, it sure is always fun talking abt grammatical errors committed by virtually anyone! Here are some examples:

"You know jumping jack? You know... jumping jack... when you open the box, the Jack will jump?
aaaaaaahhhh... okay... Jack-in-the-box!!!

Super coño girl with super-lupit twang during a job interview; sharing a ghost story: "Oh my gawd!!! It was like so scary, it gave me the CRAPS!!!"
Guess what... She didn't make it (err, surprise?!)

Girl describing the price of a super expensive item "Imagine! The price was like a whooping *blah-blah* pesos!
hmmmm... burger king must've named their super big burger wrong...

Psycho/Stupid ex on KFC menu: "Ano ba yan?! 2-pc chicken?! Hello?! 2 nga e! Kaya dapat 2-pcs chicken!!!
iodized salt, anyone?

Same Psycho/Stupid ex on the letter H: "Ewan ko ba, yung ibang tao... ang arte-arte... pa "eych, eych" pa... Sabi ng Mama ko, "ech"!
Errr... more iodized salt???

Physical Education teacher's notes -- written on Manila paper for the whole class to see: BALL RETREAT BEAR
When pointed out by good-looking, smart student **wink, wink*** teacher says "BALL RETRIEVER"
Pagbigyan nyo na... PE teacher nga e!

Music teacher with fi and ep depect when asked on how to differentiate the minor from the major keys: "Yes, they're dipperent."
Okay... if you say so...

To be continued...

Missing posts, etc.

Lovestruck

I just fell in love... again -- to the same woman that i have been in love with for the last 3yrs and 8mos. She's amazing... she takes care of me like a child, loves me for all that i am, reprimands me when i do wrong, straightens me up when i slack off... It's weird! How she makes me laugh at the corniest jokes and pisses me off with her asshole-jerk combo 'tude. At the end of a rough day, there's nothing else i long for but to sleep beside her, holding hands... and feet!

WAP me, Blog me

This is way cool, posting to my blogger through my mobile phone. I only have 480 characters max though, so its pretty limiting. Im almost tempted to use txt language but i know that aint pretty to read on the computer. Plus i wonder how nasty the lay-out is... Hope it doesn't ruin my sidebar again! Can't wait to check on my blogger tonight! Man! Don't you just love technology?! Way cool!

it's MY day

People often describe me as one hell of a selfish bitch... (especially by the love of my life) well, i guess i was just born that way. it's something that i don't apologize for. i mean, at least im being honest.

today is my 24th birthday. am i happy? hmmm... yes i am. im employed... i recently got regularized, so im now a certified professional eavesdropper. im surrounded by friends... friends i oh-so care abt. i have a significant other who loves and takes care of me... bears with me no matter how bitchy i get... i have a home with the love of my life... a home we've built together... my place of refuge, away from the sometimes cruel world... i have parents who love me in spite of distance and individual difference... people who are always there to pamper me just when i thought im all grown up... :)

today is my 24th birthday... im not always sure of what im doing... i don't know what else is in store for me. im just as excited as iv always been to wake up to a new day (errr, night? since im working nights?? whatever...) and face life's new challenges. am i scared? hmmmm... of course i am... i mean, who isn't? but what the hell! i have a job (which by the way, im learning to love... thanks to my friends at work!!!), i have friends (who i've tried and tested to be always there for me no matter what, whatever my sked is!), parents to keep me young (i'll always be their baby!), i have my forever to keep me sane for all of eternity and a home to keep me safe when i feel like breaking down (works for me much like my very own fantasy land!)... so, im happy! bwahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

oh and by the way, it's friday the 13th... bwahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!!!

How old is your inner child?

My inner child is sixteen years old today

My inner child is sixteen years old!


Life's not fair! It's never been fair, but while
adults might just accept that, I know
something's gotta change. And it's gonna
change, just as soon as I become an adult and
get some power of my own.

JEP

my ofc is re-launching the JEP campaign. JEP... as in Just English Please... and it's driving everybody nuts.

don't get me wrong, i love the english language. i do believe im more creative and expressive in english than in the vernacular. but to speak the language for 9hrs???


AAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!

to date, i've heard of two versions of the JEP acronym... one is Jast Espek Pelepeno and the other one is Just Espanyol Por pavor (did i even spell that right???) and i should say that people (including yours truly) have become more speechless because of the campaign... imagine, speaking in English on carpeted areas...meaning, everywhere except for the bathroom and the
pantry.

oh well, i guess we'll get over the shock eventually and hopefully get used to it in the process. (wish!)

Oh well, it sucks that my Tag Board has been down for a couple of days now. My sincere apologies to zyxelle for not being able to reply... please don't think I'm being snotty or whatever! Anyway, it's been awhile since anyone called me intelligent! Especially since people in the msg board just know me as The Mean Bitch... lolz Oh well, thanks so much for dropping by... hope you could visit my blogger when you have time to waste.

With this, I'd like to inform everyone that my blogger also has a guestbook, which you may use for your comments/suggestions, etc... and also for your shout-outs and other msgs while the Tag Board is down. Hopefully, it'll be up soon 'coz it's a lot user-friendly.

Thanks to everyone who ever visits my blogger! Take care y'all! :)

Happy Ending

To start off, I would like to thank my good friends, Jayce and Jen for being there for me yesterday when I was so down. Your inspiring words and sincere hugs are very much appreciated... I wouldn't have survived that work night without you! :)

And so from there, my story continues...

When I got home this morning... everything was well, normal. We were in speaking terms, she was nice to me... i think she was even sweet. We spent the morning reading through the transcript of the Charmed Season Finale until I finally dozed off. When I woke up, we were still, uh, normal... still in speaking terms, she was still nice... I remember she was still sweet. She said she wanted hot chocolate so I asked her out for dinner (nothing really special, actually). Then we took a bath, dressed up... I was starting to fell real depressed that we were, well, too normal. I felt rather uncomfortable that we had a mean fight last night, bordering to a major break up and here we are, normal and not even talking about it. It was just scary for me I guess.

While having dinner, I finally told her, "I love you." and she replied, "I love you, too." Being plain bitchy, I snapped at her... "Hmph! You love me but you were breaking up with me last night?!" Then she told me the real deal... She was just getting back at me for some things I did and said (or should I say, did not say???) a few days back. Oh well, I guess I was a victim of my own emotions and my inability to handle them well...

Rewind...

This has been going on for like a month now. Normally, she's the one who's always masungit and I'm the one who's more forgiving and understanding. But I guess with all the stress from work or perhaps I was just fed up with her, I began to be more bitchy and I would now talk back when she snaps at me for whatever reason (I usually keep quiet). I've also become more vocal about the things I hate about her... how she's such a bully sometimes and all that. In short, I got tired. I started asking myself if this is really the kind of person I want to be with for the rest of my life. As I always say, our relationship is a constant battle between Bad Girl and Control Freak... and this time, I guess Bad Girl just wants out... I was seriously considering giving up on us. But the truth is, I CAN'T DO IT!!! I'm too scared to even try... (do I hear clucking??? Oh well, I deserve it...) I know it's just a phase...

Then one night, we were teasing each other about the gross things we do... then she said, "Hmph! So you want to break with me 'cause I'm disgusting?!" And with a serious tone, I replied, "Ok." She asked me if I was serious and until last night, I just tell her, "I don't know... Maybe... " Ok, I did that not because I wanted to torture her or anything... it's just that, I'm sooooo thinking it but I know... as in, I'm SURE that I can NEVER mean it.

Ever heard about karma? So there, she got irritated and finally told me that she doesn't need me to answer and that she's deciding for us... and of course, her decision was for us to take the joke seriously. Knowing how mean she could get, I was hurt because she likes doing that. I don't know why but sometimes, breaking up seems so easy for her. Until I had to leave for work, I was asking her what was that about... if she means that or if she was just getting back at me or whatever... but she never gave me a serious response but a shrug and an oh so sarcastic "I don't know... Maybe..." (TORTURE!!!!)

So there... that was how I got victimized by my own emotions and my inability to handle them... I guess in my effort not to let the negativity explode, everything just blew up on my face. The toughest part of it all is knowing how mean she could get. As I've said, she handles break ups reaaaallll well and that scares me. When she's tired, she's really tired... and I've already experienced that cruelty early this year and trust me, it was really traumatic.

Well, she did apologize for making me cry... I should say that was kinda sweet. Somehow, I also felt guilty because though she didn't say it, I guess my joke about breaking up with her did hurt her too somehow. As the cliche goes... jokes are half meant.

So here I am at work again after our fabulous dinner... ready to battle with stress for at least one final night this week, the same way that the story of Bad Girl versus Control Freak continues... and yes, we did have that hot chocolate... and it was oh so yummy! :)
