As we all know, America and the Philippines are opposite countries. It's summer here but you still have your classes there. And now, your classes are about to end and to us, it's only the beginning...

On June 5th, say goodbye to frequent updates and hello to books and maths....

Not that i have anything against books and maths or anything, i'm an avid reader, actually, and i enjoy doing mathematics sometimes...heh.

I'm just trying to say that i'm going to miss you guys....i may not update very often anymore...
*sobs...

What's worse is that I'l be changing schools this year. For that, I would like to bid farewell to akkaime, aya, tomoe crystal, and tamarika....good luck. I hope you can still survive through highschool without me....Ha4!!!

little brothers..annoying
why can't little brothers go to bed without making a mess?

my brother was going to get a glass of water...he was the type who keeps his favorite glass/cup in the fridge: whether it had something in it or not.

He can't find it..which by the wqay, the fridge is located at the computer room or office in our house with the two computers. He ransacked the fridge...the pitcher filled with water splashed onto the floor. It was good the computers didn't get wrecked.

By the way, the cup he was looking for is located at the back of the fridge door.

It just happened ten minutes ago....

School Wars...defenitely hilarious
Everything is hard...
At UP (university of the Philippines) Mathematics is Hard
At Ateneo de Manila, English is hard
At La Salle, it is hard to park
At Assumption, It's hard to have no money At the University of Saint Thomas (UST), It's hard to go home during a flood
At St. Scholastica's, it's hard to ride an LRT.
And at the San Beda College for boys, it's hard to remain a boy
WHERE TO GO TO COLLEGE?
If you have a lot of brains and a little
money, go to UP.
If you have some brains and some money, go to
Ateneo.
If you have no brains and lots of money, go to
La Salle.
If you have no money, go to PUP.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
A few days before Christmas, the Monsignor
thought it would be a good
idea if he solicited the support of a number
of the Catholic Schools to get together to create a Nativity Scene in time for the Christmas Mass.

The day before Christmas, the Monsignor
discovered that the
Nativity
Scene was still incomplete so he made a few
inquiries on why this was so.

Ateneo reported it could come up with only two
and not three wise men.
La Salle reported it couldn't come up with
even a single wise man.
Miriam College reported that it couldn't come up with even a single
virgin.
San Beda reported that it could only come up
with three wise gays.
UP reported that they killed the three wise
men.

QUESTION AND ANSWER
Q: What should an Atenean do when a La Sallite
hurls a grenade at him?
A: The Atenean should pick up the grenade, pull the firing pin and hurl
it back at the La Sallite.

Q: How do La Sallites count to ten?
A: One, two, three, another, another, and
another.

Graduate stars
UP: A number of past Philippine presidents
graduated from UP.Presidents
Roxas, Quirino, Laurel, Garcia and Marcos, to
name just a few!

ATENEO: Hah! That's nothing, a number of
Ateneo graduates became
national heroes like Jose Rizal, Gen. Gregorio
del Pilar, Gen. Antonio Luna, EvelioJavier and many others.

UP: That just goes to show you, UP graduates
become presidents and
lead countries while Ateneans end up getting shot!

LA SALLE: That's nothing! You've got nothing against our graduates.

UP & ATENEO: And who are your so called famous graduates? Hmm?

LA SALLE: Famous, talented, and great people like Gary Valenciano, Dingdong Avanzado, Ogie Alcasid, Monsour del Rosario...

HOW TO IDENTIFY A LA SALLITE
A La Sallite walks into a store in Mega Mall
and says: "Miss, I'd like a green parrot, please."
The salesgirl looks at him and asks: "Sir, are
you a La Sallite by
any chance?"

The La Sallite becomes irritated and asks:
"and why did you say so? Is it because I asked for a green
parrot? If I ordered BLUE Jeans, would you ask me if I were from Ateneo? If I bought a
MAROON shirt, would you ask me if I were from UP? I don't think so. So why then,
when I want to buy a GREEN parrot, do you ask
me if I'm from La
Salle???"

"Sir.. because..." replied the salesgirl
calmly, "this is a
flower shop, eh."

A TYPICAL CONVERSATION
Two students meet on the street and carry on a
typical
conversation:

La Sallite: If you can tell me how many
chickens I have in this
bag,
I
will give you both of them.

UP: Uh, two?

La Sallite: That's unfair! You peeked!

SUICIDAL SANDWICH
There were three friends: an Atenean, a La
Sallite, and a UP
student
(so, you know this story is fictional).
Anyway, everyday, they
meet
for
lunch and ate their sandwiches.
UP: Oh, Heck! Peanut butter sandwhich again? I'm getting tired of this. If tomorrow, apeanut butter sandwich is what I'll have for lunch, i'll shoot myself.

Ateneo: Darn! Roast beef sandwich again! I am
sick of this
already!
If I get another roast beef sandwich again tomorrow, I am gonna choke myself.
La Salle: Oh no,
The next morning, they again met for lunch,
and, alas, they had
the
same
sandwiches again. The UP student went back to
his dorm, pulled out
a

   Happy Birthday, Mommy!!!
Today is May 20, 2006.
My mom's birthday is today. So, we went to "gamol"...SM Megamall....yup. It's actually evening here....so yeah. This morning, mom went out for some grocery shopping. She left at 12, and by six, we were all dressed up to go to the mall. She still wasn't home. We texted here, tried to call her phone but nobody answers. eek...I was so worried. Then mom showed up....hehehe...I thought something had happened to her...Phew...

So we went there. Along with my cousin who conviniently showed up that afternoon. Me and my big sister, little brother, and two cousins went to watch "Over the Hedge" while mommy and daddy watched the reincarnation.

After that, we went to Teriyaki Boy to eat. It was our favorite Japanese restaurant. My other cousin who was a boy was also conviniently there, he showed up, by coincidence, and ate with us. He was there first but he was just sitting up at front. As families do in most countries, i gave my cousin a kiss when we saw him at the restaurant. Two girls were chatting at a nearby table and as My cousin and I walked passed them, I heard them saying, "Ang bata naman ng girlfriend nito. Kahit bata, pinapatulan. Desperado siguro." Which in English meant "His girlfriend is so young. He actually goes out with kids? He must be despaerate." You see, my cousin was about twenty years of age or so. He graduated college a while back.

Five (5) lessons to make you think about the way we treat people.
1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.

During my second month of college, our professor
gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student
and had breezed through the questions until I read
the last one:

"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the
cleaning woman several times. She was tall,
dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question
blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if
the last question would count toward our quiz grade.

"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers,
you will meet many people. All are significant. They
deserve your attention and care, even if all you do
is smile and say "hello."

I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her
name was Dorothy.

2. - Second Important Lesson - Pick-up in the Rain

One night, at 11:30 P.M., an older African American
woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway
trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had
broken down and she desperately needed a ride.
Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.
A young white man stopped to help her, generally
unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man
took her to safety, helped her get assistance and
put her into a taxicab.

She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his
address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a
knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a
giant console colour TV was delivered to his home. A
special note was attached..

It read:
"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway
the other night. The rain drenched not only my
clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along.
Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying
husband's bedside just before he passed away. God
bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving
others."

Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.



3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those
who serve.


In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less,
a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and
sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in
front of him.

"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.

"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and
studied the coins in it.

"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.

By now more people were waiting for a table and the
waitress was growing impatient.

"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.

The little boy again counted his coins.

"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.

The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on
the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice
cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress
came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the
table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish,
were two nickels and five pennies..

You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had
to have enough left to leave her a tip.



4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a
roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if
anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the
king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by
and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the
King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did
anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of
vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the
peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the
stone to the side of the road. After much pushing
and straining, he finally succeeded. After the
peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed
a purse lying in the road where the boulder had
been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note
from the King indicating that the gold was for the
person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The
peasant learned what many of us never understand!

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve
our condition.



5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a
hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who
was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only
chance of recovery appeared to be a blood
transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had
miraculously survived the same disease and had
developed the antibodies needed to combat the
illness. The doctor explained the situation to her
little brother, and asked the little boy if he would
be willing to give his blood to his sister.

I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a
deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will
save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in
bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did,
seeing the colour returning to her cheek. Then his
face grew pale and his smile faded.

He looked up at the doctor and asked with a
trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away".

Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the
doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his
sister all of his blood in order to save her.



Most importantly.................. "Work like you
don't need the money, love like you've never been
hurt, and dance like you do when nobody's watching."

People....something I would like to tell you and something i would like to ask you...
First, the questions.
1. In FMA, is Hughes related to the fashion critic Finola Hughes? Hehehe...
2. Which music do you favor listening to the most?
3. Have i done anything to vex you? (If i have, I deeply apologize.)
4. Are you an avid reader?
5. Do you know anyone with the same first name? If so, how many are they?

Now, the facts.
1. There are for great apes: Gorillas, Orangutans, Chimpanzees and Bonobos.
2. Chimpanzees aren't herbivores. They hunt, kill and eat monkeys.
3. Another word for love potion is philter.
4. The graham cracker (or sky flakes as Filipinos generaly refer to it) has 54 holes.
5. Lewis Caroll did not plan to publish his works Alice's Adventures in Wornderland and Through the Looking Glass without the encouragement of another writer and friend, George MacDonald.
6. Lastly, Clive Staples Lewis, the author of the Chronicles of Narnia, is fondly called "Jack" which in fact is his nickname.
