myOtaku.com: The Mask

   IT'S OCTOBER!
Hey there guys! Now before anything else, let me clarify somehing first. With due respect to its creator, the milk glue experiment is really not so bad. Also, you can use the stuff to stick paper and cloth. But here's some tips to remember:
a. As you heat the milk and vinegar solution to separate curds and whey, wear a mask 'coz it's gonna be a bit stinky. But the milk glue itself won't smell so bad after it is made.
b. You should use the glue within the next 24 hours after it was made 'coz it's still sticky and not stinky at that time.
c. After those 24 hours, its begins to stink and liquify to a brown liquid. I suggest you throw it away 'coz it won't do you any good anyway.
If you'll be making MILK GLUE, just remember those tips.

Anyway, we had our Math and Science Culminating Activity last morning. And I got to be one of the show's emcees. For the very first time, I get to emcee a program.

But enough of me as the emcee. At the program was the Look-Alike Contest wherein selected students dress up and act as scientists. Most of the high school students impersonated the Curie couple, Lavoiser, and Einstein (who, by the way, had to put the John Cena entrance music as he went to the stage. It was so hilarious, especially with his Halloween mask!)

For our class, it was JV who became our contestant. His scientist was Stephen Hawking (He's the guy at the left.) He is a British scientist who extended Einstein's theory of relativity to explain the mysteries of the universe, especially the Black Hole. And as you can see, he is a disabled man. That's because he has this disease which made him unable to move or speak. Picture from http://www.sky4us.org

To really act like Stephen Hawking, JV had to bring a REAL wheelchair! And since there weren't any inclined planes to let him go up using the wheelchair, I had to "carry" him up while Kevin brought the wheelchair for him. And his acting was so good too! On his speech he said this, "And unlike my fellow contestants, I am still alive." When he had to get a roll of paper for the Question and Answer portion, he said, "Could someone help me in here?" Of course, Hawking can't move that's why he said that. And for that, HE WON FIRST PLACE with a very high score of 98%!

On other stuff, me and my Tower Boom contestants were given our prizes. And it was.....black Pilot ballpens! One ballpen for each of us! Would you look at that? I really needed a ballpen anyway, so that's fine with me. The other winners were given their prizes too.

And now, it's October. This month, we'll be busy with our analysis on the Vatican Council II, our class' mock wedding (where I get to be the priest), and hopefully, FIELD TRIP!

Now for our ANIME PIC:

This is a pic from Slam Dunk. Since Philippines is a basketball-loving country, you can say that this show was a BIG HIT here. They're bringing it back again on GMA, although I have the feeling it will be replaced by the local news program in our city.

And I'll leave you with this story I just made. This is based on my very own junior class. If you have any comments on it, please tell me.

EPISODE 1: FIRST DAY
Part 1
October 1. Friday. 7:30 A.M. Yet another day at school.

But unlike the old days when I go to school at the Yonama High School, today it's different. My dad transferred me to this school, the Nihonmori High School. That's okay with me though. My classmates at the other school kinda pissed me off so I'm happy that I'm here.

Now I walked and walked and walked to find my room. I'm a junior high school student, by the way. And before I forget, my name is Mato Shimino, 15 years of age.

And after a few minutes of searching, I saw the sign "THIRD YEAR". This must be my room. Now I'm getting shivers already. I held on the doorknob. Ooohhh, the coldness of the metal knob makes me shiver more. Okay, now here I go. This is now my new world. A new beginning. Here I go....

"ROCK!", "GO DOWN, THIRD YEARS!", "F**K YOU!", "BLAH!!!"

Okay. A noisy class. Great. This is my "new" world? Oh boy.

RING! The school bell rang. Everybody is going down now for the flag ceremony. I'd better go down now.

-------------------------------------
LATER.....
Well, I'm back in the room again. The classroom is still noisy, but not as noisy as a few minutes ago. Now I see girls looking at me. Then, they're gossiping. Is there something wrong with me? Do I still have brocolli in my teeth?

"Good morning class!"

"Good morning Sensei!"

"Please sit down."

"Yes, Sensei!"

The adviser arrived. Her face doesn't seem to be completely happy. Maybe because of the chatter some peeps did while in the flag ceremony.

"Okay class. We have a new student inside here."

Now she's doing a hand language that somehow told me, "Please come here!" I stood up and went to the front. I'm still quite nervous, especially with their eyes focusing me.

"Class, please welcome Mr. Mato Shimino. Mato, these are your new classmates, all 23 of them."

"Good morning Mato!" everyone greeted. "Ahh....good morning too!", I replied.

"And I'm your Sensei, Elle Vinena."

"Umm...good morning, Sensei."

Whoa! Quite a heart-pounding moment. And I think it was a miracle I was able to respond. So she is Elle Vinena. And I have 23 classmates. 23? My old class had 50 students who make the same amount of noise as this class. So this class might be quite talkative, huh? That's fine with me. I just don't like the sermons later.

DOOR KNOCKS! Someone is at the door.

"Excuse me class!"

Now she's going to the door, talking to someone who looks like a janitor.

"Class, I have some business to attend to. Mato, you may take your seat. Class Officers, take charge."

Then she left. I went back to my chair and slowly sat on it. Everyone's still staring at me. Even the boys are looking at me. I just hope there aren't any gays here. Yeeks!

"Hey!", someone called. "Nice to meet you, Mato."

I saw the guy, who was actually my seatmate. He was showing an open hand as if it wanted to shake hands with me.

"My name is Shinichi Mamoto. Hope you'll enjoy our class."

I took his hand and shook it. Well, this is the beginning of my new school life.


Okay, so I'm stopping it there, since I still have to think of cool names for the other characters. I'll be continuing this every week so watch out! See ya! HAVE A NICE DAY!
