Fear, are you an illusion?

WARNING: Cheesy post ahead.

You're not afraid of the dark, you're scared of what's in it.
You're not afraid of heights, you're scared of the pain from falling.
You're not afraid of people, you're scared of rejection.
You're not afraid of love, you're scared of not being loved back.
You're not afraid to try again, you're scared of getting hurt for the same reason.

It's a desire fueled by hope.

Before Zombieville HD, I used to play Angry Birds and spend countless hours just to figure out a way to reach the next level. All birds are very cute specially the ones that drop bombs and explode. The pigs are awfully adorable as well but as many of you know, they are the villain in this game. They are evil pigs that must be vanquished by all means plausible.

I want a cake like this one. I really do!
My family owes me. They didn't buy me a birthday cake, not even a teeny tiny cupcake with a puny candle on top of it.

AHOY! Hello, cake! Show yourself.

You will feel better if you notice the sweetness of life.

Not all movies make me feel inspired. When I watch DVDs at home, I usually opt from something supernatural to action. Teen flicks, romantic comedies are not really my cup of tea. Some of them I find cheesy, too shallow or unrealistic for a relationship. Yes, I am that picky and when I watch something, it’s like I’m bound to give the film a review that may make or break its existence.

Fantastic Four (or any genre synonymous to it) creates a huge bother in my mind. I wonder why I don’t have supernatural powers. Like, why can’t I be invisible? Why can’t I say “FLAME ON” and just flame on? Superheroes. They have this tendency to make you feel invincible when in fact they’re not. Every hero has a kryptonite.

Last night I watched Mannequin, a film from 1987 which my mother used to watch a ton of time when I was little. I was not fond of it because of course, I hardly understood the context. It was painfully boring for me then.

However, NOW is DIFFERENT. After watching the film, I felt inspired and enthused. I was even envious of Emmy (played by Kim Cattrall). Mannequin made me realize that love really is simple. It’s the people and the situation that causes the complications. The world has forgotten the notion that sometimes its okay to be vulnerable, to give in and just be happy.

These days it’s all about being smart. Smart enough to be in a relationship where you don’t get the short end of the stick. Smart enough to settle for someone who loves you more than you love them. Smart enough to treat a bond like “Two Can Play That Game”.

But life is not a game.

We should be able to love without the worry, without the stupid rules that bitter bitches and assholes created. It took me so long to understand that when you’re in a relationship, you might as well give it your all. Give it your best shot, hope for the best and enjoy every friggin' second of it. Yes, it may end but what if it doesn’t?

Pareho lang ang iiyak mo. Kalahating pagmamahal man ang pinakita mo o hindi.

Hello, Jonathan Switcher!

Yes, I got all this from watching the movie.

SILVERSCREEN: Eat Pray Love

This morning I rushed online and logged to my sureseats.com account and reserved2 tickets for me and a friend who's somewhat keen on watching the movie. I've read the book 2 years ago and never imagined that it would later become a film. Eat Pray Love is not a typical novel. To give you a review now would seem pathetic considering that the book's been launched 2006. I'm quite sure some of you have read it, one way or the other.

Julia Roberts is still the great actress that she is. She magnificently pulled off her Italian accent and quirky dialogues (monologue, sometimes). The movie would make anyone thirst for travel. It doesn't matter where, it would make you just do whatever what you want to do and pursue it. Eat Pray Love is essentially inspiring and moving. To sum it all up, this movie just means "If you want to be happy, BE".

Hats off to James Franco because even though his character looked a little off and uncanny, he managed to pull it off. Try to spot his extremely simple wardrobe where he sports a white tee. HOT is all I have to say.

The following are lines from the movie that I can't seem to shake off:

Ketut: Do not look at the world through your head; look at it through your heart.

Liz: I am so sick of people telling me I need a man.

Felipe: You don't need a man, you need a champion.

Liz: I remember an old catholic joke about a man who spent his whole life going to a church every day and prayed to the statue of a great saint begging "please, please, please, let me win the lottery." Finally the exasperated statue comes to life and looks down at the begging man and says "my son, please, please, please, buy a ticket." So now I get the joke, and I bought three tickets.

Richard: So miss him. Send him love and light every time you think about him, then drop it.

You may run but you're not allowed to hide.

The music industry's been overflowing with the likes of Akons, Ne-yos, Rihannas and Lady Gagas. You bring a boring love song to the scene and its sure to drop in about 5 seconds flat, specially now that pop sensation Justin Bieber crossed the great divide.

I miss the times when BOY BANDS actually define what good music is made of. I'm sure you've all heard of Hanson, N*sync and who can ever forget the Backstreet Boys? They were the IT band. Whoever dares to enter the kingdom of boy bands must answer to Brian, Howie, AJ, Kevin and Nick. If you don't know them, you better start googling now.

Talking about this pretty much gives away my age. Yes, I'm a 20-something lass from the land of MTv not-local. Back when there was MTv Most Wanted, MTv Select and MTv Fresh. Come to think of it, music has changed a lot as all things had.

When I was in high school, I used to listen to The Moffats. Yes, them. All the girls in our school were singing their songs and humming their tunes. To not know The Moffats back then would make me a loser. And mind you, my school was pouring with MEAN GIRLS. I don't know where The Moffats are now. Last news I heard was the fact that they were disbanded because of i-dont-know reasons. I remember having a huge crush on Clint. Now, I remember nothing :)

I found this on Google:

I don't know when this was taken but they look pretty damn good to me.

Let's pretend I'm making sense and you believe everything I say.

There are a load of shows I wish would just crop back on TV. I miss MTv before it became 100% lokal. I miss Nickelodeon's Hey Arnold! and As Told By Ginger. These are just to name a few of those I really miss. I couldn't possibly list them one by one. Well, I think I can. I just don't want to. If there's anything I really really really miss though, that would be Lulu and the gang. I never favored Cartoon Network but because they have this little wise ass, they didn't leave me much choice. I only watch Powerpuff when there is nothing good on air or when I'm really sleepy. Of course, I use the TV set as a night light. Go figure.

Clips of Little Lulu are all over YouTube but I don't want that anymore. I want a real copy. All original DVD. Unfortunately, even Quiapo don't have one. I believe that's the capital of piracy. If they don't have it. Tough luck. You can't find it anywhere else. Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

I should sleep.

There is no decent title for this entry. Blah.

My stuff are slowly deteriorating. First, it was my iTouch which hasn't exactly reached a year old. Then my laptop decided to go bonkers on me at the least expected moment. Now, because I lost Apple's warranty for my iTouch, I have to pay a big, fat, stinking P3,500 just for its screen to work. Mind you, I tried all plausible click-here-and-there tricks for it to work, it just wouldn't. My laptop is another concern because IT itself refuses to charge its battery. Literally dysfunctional, everything.

Please don't ask me to take both in Greenhills because most often than not, people there just wreck stuff.

I'm thinking of replacing iTouch with Apple's much better version. Price is almost the same but I think this time, you get you money's worth with all the added features and stuff on the side.

Even Nano has a new, cuter and yummier version! If only I waste money on a daily freaking basis I would gladly get me one. But let's face it, one can only hope so much.

Nah, I'm not making sense anymore.

ENTRY OVER.

When I look at you my mind goes on a trip.

As I logged out of Twitter I wondered what I should do tonight. For the past 3 weeks all I ever do is sit and sip coffee, and of course, water. I'm not complaining because I actually love doing exactly that. Plus a little something on the side. Its like a muse, sort of an inspiration. Though I wont't expand on that.

Christian Bale was the ultimate hottie of all things hot. Well, exaggerated to the unreachable level but true. That is, until today. Today, when I saw what he did to his mouthwatering figure when I opened my laptop and Yahoo! surprised me with its headline, "'Batman' star's physical transformation". I thought he became MUCH HOTTER but to my dismay it was the opposite. He now looks anorexic and can actually pass for a stick with a blahblah as his head. Way too skinny. Way toooooooooo skinny.

Christian Bale in 'The Machinist,' 'The Dark Knight' and 'The Fighter'

I don't know if he did that for the movie or its just his target weight for this year. For whichever and whatever reason, I don't get it. He was perfectly fine before this catastrophe.

On a much no sense topic, I am now very fond of sparkling waters. They're insanely expensive compared to Summit, Absolute, etc (of course :P) but they're not so bad.

You can find San Pellegrino at the nearest Starbucks near you while Perrier can be snagged at Krispy Kreme Donuts! Oh, both are really yummy when its hella frozen! Try it.

Getting lost will help you find yourself.

On the 13th of September John Mayer decided to bid the world of Twitter goodbye, leaving behind his almost 4 million followers.

Click image for the entire Yahoo! article.

First off, I'm not as devastated as most Mayer fans would be. I am in fact impressed by what he did. Most celebrities use Twitter as a way to communicate with their fans, which I think is a good thing. Sometimes however, we get so attached to such online accounts that we forget to live in the real world. See, having a verve in the virtual world is not as bad, but when it eats up your entire social and personal life, might as well start thinking, buddy.

2 years ago, I left my blog, deleted my Friendster and filtered my Multiply account. It is sort of like an epiphany. Why do people (mostly strangers) get to have access on what's going on in my life? The ups, downs, lefts and rights. Everything! When some of them don't even deserve to know what I'm currently doing or if I died or something. Result? I now am one of the few human beings that don't have Facebook and now blogging anonymously. :)

Twitter though is a different subject. I have one but of course I won't tell you that.

Did I mention that Mayer is also putting an official halt on his Battle Studies world tour? He announced the heartbreaking news September 12th on his Tumblr account, http://jhnmyr.tumblr.com.

Now, that is indeed GOING STEALTH!

There is nothing to UNDO.

“Do not fear death, but rather the unlived life. You don't have to live forever. You just have to LIVE.”

Sex and the not-so-exciting city

Bradshaw’s Thirst for Human Drama.

I watched a couple of reruns of Sex and the City last week, from seasons 3 to partly 6. I didn’t have the moral fiber to finish the series up to its last episode.

Years ago I was a sucker for these 4 Manhattan women. I think I actually lived and inhaled their beliefs and mantras. It was all rational –from the endless discussion of men, multiple theories regarding relationships, awkward debates about sex to who came first? The chicken or the egg?– until you start to watch the whole show again.

I realized Carrie Bradshaw was a complete sucker for drama. If there’s conflict in her life, she complains. If there is no conflict in her life, she whines. I guess I have to agree with Time magazine’s statement for you, Ms. Bradshaw:

“Will nothing ever make you happy?”

When I first saw that statement I was like “What the hell are you saying?!” Tonight I have a totally different opinion. When Carrie was dating Mr. Big, she bleats about how insensitive and numb her partner was. She couldn’t even get over the fact that he’s not ready to introduce her to his mother yet.

When Carrie was dating Aidan with all that you could ever ask for a partner and a lover, I might add. She grumbled on how EVERYTHING IS PERFECT. That such thing could not exist because it’s too good to be true. So, she decided to have an affair and cheat on Aidan with Mr. Big.

Cruel, right?

It doesn’t end there, though.

Months after the ugly break up and farewell to Aidan, Carrie was determined to get him back after all. You know the story, the guy forgives her, takes her back, and they live happily…for a time being.

Subsequent to forcing Aidan to forgive her affair, she said no to the guy’s marriage proposal and breaks his heart AGAIN.

Now, tell me if Carrie is not hungry for drama?

This ship has sailed. Stop making the series into a movie. A trilogy would be the worst mistake in Carrie Bradshaw history!

♪ It’s the simple things in life we forget ♫

Never say never, they say.

One human being will change what I've set my mind to believe. His name is Raymond. Usher Raymond.

When I first heard about Usher's visit I was a bit conflicted. I wanted to go badly but the location kind of threw me off. I like Araneta Coliseum because they're very organized when they have events. Whether it be a famous rock band, a pop star or Disney's Minnie and Mickey. Plus, you get your money's worth even if the ticket's from the general admission area. The dome-shaped concert arena is more of a pro than a con.

Last week, July 09 to be clear,I was an hour late for the shindig because the traffic is just downright bizarre. Almost everyone was going to Mall of Asia, it seems. A turtle would've arrived faster. Hell, if I continue on foot I would've get there on time.

The minute I walked in MOA's ground I felt a sting of panic. There's just too many people yelling and howling it made me want to slap them. But of course, I didn't. We're all just bunch of people dying to see Usher and his 6-pack abs. It took me 10 minutes to get to my seat. The security and the real ushers and usherettes inside were no help at all. It’s difficult to find your seat with all the pushing and distraction. Distraction, meaning, when I was trying to find my seat, Usher is doing his thing on stage, lifting his shirt and touching his crotch to the tune of Nice and Slow. Niiiiice.

Good thing I was wearing my trusty old boots. I didn't feel if anyone stepped on my foot. Baka ako pa yung nakatapak without my knowledge.

The thick crowd I had to go through to get to my seat.

As much as I want to post pictures from the show, I'd rather not from fear of photo grabbing and such.

Model Behavior: Diane Kruger

I first caught a glimpse of her in Wicker Park as the graceful dancer with then teen heart rob Josh Hartnett. I started seeing more of her in red carpet events such as Oscars, Grammy's and the likes. One thing I can say about her is she dress absolutely well compared to others who sometimes look like an ostrich died on them. I believe it's slightly difficult to WOW audience in Hollywood as they've seen every gorgeous outfit grace the red carpet - and the hideous as well.

I googled her name and learned that she really did ballet in London before an accident ended her career. She pursued a career in modeling in Germany for a couple of years before she moved to Paris to concentrate on acting, and then of course, the rest is history. I have to say, why do all top models are born in Germany? Heidi Klum? And I read somewhere that Gisele Bündchen is half german. No fair. Dapat sa Pilipinas rin. *insert smiley here*

Here are some of her looks that I extremely adore:

See, not many can pull that mustard dress on the red carpet. I think she did fine.
Second dress is from Chanel's haute couture collection.

Black dress - Marchesa; Second from Valentino

Fringe boots, I like. That's my most favorite of all the outfits I've seen her wear. Less is more. And not everyone can rock an attire that simple.

Back to regular programming.

I've been contemplating whether to buy a camera or just save the stash for something more useful. See, I believe I don't have a knack for photography but I reckon I take decent pictures. I have two digital cameras which I rarely use. I have one fisheye lomo which never served its purpose. And I have a horde of cellphones with refined pixels which I have not touched since whenever. Such a waste.

Though, I'm somewhat eying on a different camera. I suppose almost everyone out there has one. But I don't have one so that doesn't make that everyone. Anyway, its the Holga series which I always see at bookstores and other shopping precincts out there. They look so yummy and cute from my end. I wanted to use one as a key chain but realized they're a tad huge to be dangling from my bag. I should've followed my instinct before buying that purple fisheye...but that was like 3 years ago.

THINK. Think. Think.

They look like a loot of Skittles to me.

Element of...(don't wait for it).

Edward Cullen does not bear a flawlessly chiseled face. Well, for a while, he didn’t. Back then he was just a silhouette that every girl thinks of. Edward was just an empty image frozen in between pages of a paperback. But when Robert Pattinson became the face of the gentleman known as Edward, he instantly morphed into THE perfect gentleman.

It’s always Resident Hottie vs Chief of Camp Shirtless.

It’s always Team Bloodsucker vs Team Werewolves.

It's always Fangs vs Fur.

It’s always about whose side are you on? Like your life depended on it. As if the sky will fall if you make the wrong choice…when clearly, this is all make believe.

If these two men were real, Bella’s virginity would’ve been gone in a jiffy.

But what’s wrong with a little fantasy every once in a while, right?

Well, as for me. I root for the pale skinned bloke.

I like Edward not because of his diamond-something skin, or his hypnotizing voice, or his poetic-almost-fairy-tale-like lines.

I like him because he makes Bella feel secure emotionally. Financially is just a fat whopping bonus.

I like him because he would gladly catch a bullet just so Bella would live.

I like him because he could never hurt Bella. Uhm, not by choice anyway.

I like him because a matter of life and death brings him and Bella closer together.

I like him because he would rather die than live in a world where Bella does not exist.

I like him because he wholeheartedly admits that Bella is his reason for breathing.

I like him because he loves Bella unconditionally. Human or no-human. Dead or alive.

And most importantly,

I like him because he is NOT real.

Which leads to the conclusion that, in this world, we’re all just a bunch of Bellas looking for Edwards, or Edwards searching for their own Bellas.

(Jacob is obviously not real as well. I just prefer the latter.)

People say DON'T much too often.

Was cleaning some of my online chattels when I found this:

People do label us, whether we like it or not.

I just wanna get away from it all. And that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

I'm still not ready to talk.

Such a shame that most human beings feed on your distress. Yeah, most don't empathize nor sympathize. They just float for gossip and tittle-tattles.

XOXO,
I'm-no-Gossip-Girl

Bench it up.

A couple of Bench Uncut photos that I really liked. I never did pay much attention to Ben Chan's annual fashion show. This year however got my senses tingling. I find it intriguing and appealing. I'm still not watching, though. I don't like crowded events. Except only when I like/love the artist or whatever.

"First of all, single mothers don't date. They've been to the circus. They've been to the puppet shows and they've seen the strings. A single mother, that's a sacred thing."
- Rod Tidwell, Jerry Maguire

TRUE. (Most) Single mom's don't play or look for a fling. DUH.

I never really did appreciate Jerry Maguire before. I never bothered to watch it. I thought of it as a typical-cheesy-sometimes-lame movie. Tom Cruise leads the film, what do you expect me to think? Even when a movie is bad, it is still considered good because of good looks or the smoking body of the protagonist. La la la la la.

Not Maguire, though. There's a lesson. Find it.

Jonathan Lipnicki as Ray.
I so love and adoreeeeee this kid.

In places no one will find.

I am currently dealing with something huge. Well, at least in my world I consider it huge.

I never thought I'd be down this road again. I somehow assumed that I'm done about such stuff but I was proved wrong again. Oh, well. Such is life.

I'm a big believer of chances. I believe that no matter how effed up a situation is or how disheveled a person is, everything and everyone deserves a chance, I don't think the number of chances matter. Every day is a new day. Meaning you're given an opening to correct the mistakes of yesterday or do the things you missed in the past.

I'm a big believer of perspective. I believe that when you choose to see the ugly, it’s all you'd ever see. You fail to recognize the beautiful and just see patches of errors or scraps of fault. But when you change your perspective, your viewpoint, every single thing around you alters. When you focus on the positive side, the brighter side, suddenly all the gray areas are filled with hue and color. You don't mind the cons anymore.

I'm a big believer of risk. It is true that in order to gain something you have to risk something. Nothing in this life comes free. Literally. Emotionally. Financially. When we open our hearts to people, there is no guarantee that pain will not exist. There is no guarantee that friends will not fall apart. There is no guarantee that couples will stay together as long as they live. No guarantee at all but we risk. We risk and shove our fears away because we know that the experience and feeling could be rewarding.

I'm a big believer of love. I believe in sticking together. I believe in braving the odds as one. Love that doesn't necessarily defy but enough to keep the two of you together.

But I also believe in the idea of giving up. There comes a time when you have to raise the flag. When you’ve done everything remotely possible and none seems to work.

I believe in waiting.

But I also believe that there is such a thing as too late.

Can you undo what has been done?

beLIEve.

I'm not making plans for tomorrow.

I thought my iPad went bonkers on me. Thankfully, it didn't.

A lot of people ask what's with an iPad. I don't know the answer. It's like a gargantuar version of iTouch with high def resolution. I don't suggest using your iPad as a player. Let's face it, it is not space friendly. Inconvenient. Very. Videos = different issue. Whether it be music or movie.

I'm very fond of Angry Birds and Zombieville. Fun. Interesting. Perfect way to kill precious time. I'm pretty much tired of Plants vs Zombies. Sad.

I finally found a Chinese throwing star! I call it that way. No idea why. Slightly overpriced but really cool.

Sorry for the lousy picture. Point and shoot camera multiplied to the fact that I have no talent in photography is equal to a revolting photo.

The gun (obviously) is not real.

P.S.
Driving is one heck of a job. My always-squinting eyes? No help at all.

I love you, truck. I'm doing this for you.

Apocalyptic much?

I'm sure you've all seen the news and the effects of tropical storm Agatha...

Google never fails to amaze me. It's common knowledge that Google changes their home page every now and then. You name it, they have it. Be it Christmas, Halloween, Valentines or St. Patrick's day. Today, they have something new again. A tribute to the classic Pac-Man game lounging ever since 1980. The great thing about this is the fact that you can play it, too! How cool is that?

I know Nintendo has a new version of Pac-Man but I gotta say, this classic is still my favorite.

It doesn't get any better than this.

Tumblr is reality in an HTML and CSS format. I have to admit, it is a lot easier to blog with pictures and doodles. Picture says a thousand words, right? With the technology we have today, things are getting a tad lighter every day. Don't you think?

What one does not bake, another brews.

Because my cable sucks and haven’t had the time to change it, I hardly catch Ace of Cakes, Iron Chef and even Giada nowadays. In short, I have no Lifestyle Network in my household. Of course, there’s ETC and 2nd avenue but I prefer LN above all others. The programs they air are very informative and helpful; helpful to those who have no idea of redecorating, cooking/baking, and organizing.

Now that I’m back home, I don’t know when I’ll be able to get a glimpse of Duff Goldman or the inspiring chef masters. Sad. Just sad.

Not a woman's worth but definitely worth buying.

I didn't exactly went shopping yesterday but I think it falls on that category anyway. I went somewhere south to have my iTouch fixed because it has been wonky since last month. I decided to walk around and window shop but to my dismay, I ended up buying some stuff.

I couldn't deny myself the pair of shoes, or boots if you may call it. I've been drooling for it ever since I can't remember. I thought I could never own one because the price is a little steep for me and my *ehem* budget. Yesterday was my lucky day because they were on sale! 30% off but what the heck. Its a pretty good deal for me.

Pretty boots they are, aren't they? :)

Oh. I snagged the last of this as well,

Aldo's two-finger ring

They were in my size which is just great!

Read but you don't have to weep.

Went book shopping yesterday before heading home from a 3 day vacation. I was looking for a copy of Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer at almost every book store I know but couldn't find any. Either its out of stock or the universe decided to gang up on me and hid the book in a different plane or something.

I bought a couple of paperbacks and was so tempted to buy a blue-ish green Holga camera of my own. I haven't seen my Fisheye in ages but I do know that its somewhere in my room. Or maybe I'm just hallucinating.

So! I know Sex and the City 2 would be flying to the country some time next month. Thanks to Candace Bushnell and the producers of the movie. But before watching the film, check out Carrie's transformation from girl to woman, and how she ended up on the Big Apple.

Of errors and irons.

Haven't been able to watch the news lately because I'm too lazy to switch the TV from AV to cable. Lame, I know. I'm sure you've all heard about Marian Rivera's "Isa po akong Psychology" slip. I didn't see it on TV Patrol but thanks to YouTube, I saw the video everyone was talking about.

See, when it comes to this girl, all kinds of emotion hover and float in the air. There's hate, love, dislike, like, disgust and so on.

I read a couple of comments saying it really shouldn't be an issue because Marian's only human. Or that everyone makes grammatical errors once in a while. Or that the world should give her a break. Some were also comparing Marian's error over Manny Pacquiao's which I think is completely pointless, by the way.

My NO CENT worth about the issue:

1. People took her "Isa po akong Psychology" statement seriously because we all know that she's slightly grammatically challenged (for a lack of better term). So, people don't really believe that it was an accident. Her one liners in her TVC's speak for it. Does the word "byutiful" ring a bell?
2. Majority of us always root for the underdog. The Marian-DingDong-Karylle love triangle has been long forgotten but some can't just let it go. I think that adds up to all the hatred and loathing. They see Marian as a relationship wrecker and sad to say, a whore.
3. She's a celebrity. Period. Let's face it, when you're a public figure you have to be perfect. Every infinitesimal thing about you is magnified. Pores kung pores!
4. Pretty woman. Enough said.
   

As Mo Twister said, “If Pacquiao effs it up, we laugh. If it's Marian, she gets destroyed. Life just ain't fair highness.”

On a lighter note, watched Iron Man 2 finally! It was all sorts of AWESOME. I like it.

Looking mighty fine, Mr. Stark.

Much ado about nothing.

I wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy…

NAH.

I woke up one morning and went online after grabbing a cup of joe. I logged on to Facebook and was surprised to see the new trending topic online. It felt like I didn’t log for a month when I only went incognito for about a week or so. Everyone was talking about ‘Jejemons” and the image of Mr. Gibo Teodoro holding a piece of paper concerning such was scattered everywhere.

I seriously have no clue what the "Jejemon" term referred to, but then I remembered that I could just google it. Duh.

Jejemons are low life creatures in the world wide web posting messages that has wrong grammars and spellings.

Example of jejelanguage:

1. Mwahugz xoxo = hugs and kisses in formal language
2. u ahrrr soo fhunnny jejeje
3. e0wSsZz pOwhhZzmUsZtAhH nUah pOwhHzz kEowHsz = hello po musta na po kayo.
4. e0wh phF0u? mUsZtAh nHa?

I get the whole thing. I get that it is annoying to read messages that makes you want to bang your head on the wall. Messages that would want you to hang yourself because you just couldn’t grasp the point of it. I GET IT but ENOUGH is ENOUGH.

I don’t know why it is suddenly a big deal now but when I was high school no one really gives a damn about it. I’ve seen the horrid spellings and nasty grammars way back and it wasn’t that big a deal. Now it is like an epidemic spreading like crazy and people just can’t stop blabbing about it.

The "Jejemon" trend.

It’s unbelievably overrated and much I hate to admit it, those who scrutinize the idea used to be one of them.

Sure it’s fun and hilarious the first time the topic came out but now it’s just annoying and irritating. And those people who condemn “Jejemons” are no exception either. Earth to them. Just because you spell right and type right doesn’t make you more human than the others.

C’mon, world! Get over it already!
