Michael Phelps' power level...it's over 9000!

“I swear…I meant to make him a human.”
-God on Michael Phelps

Meh.

Beating writer’s block is a difficult feat. It has long been considered impossible, like licking your elbow. However, some experts recently proved that licking your elbow is feasible, and so beating writer’s block can also be accomplished.

Well, writer’s block makes me wanna consider suicide. Gah!

How to become a superhero

The world today is dominated by villains and evil-doers like Math and Physics. The world needs you. Oh yes you…to become a superhero. Save us all!

You are a few steps closer to being a superhero. Here are the steps:

1. Have a very shitty childhood.
2. Have no social skills whatsoever.
3. Be a nerd.
4. Have a close friend or relative get killed, thus, giving you the reason and the will to fight crime, and provide yourself a feeling of duty.
5. Have a no sense of fashion at all.

Or, you might wanna consider these steps too:

1. Be born a mutant. If you’re already a mutant, you already got your abilities!
2. Or you wanna be mutant sometime in your life:

And also, some miscellaneous ways to become a superhero:

1. Almost die, then build yourself a super cool suit or armor.
2. Be born on a different planet, then come to Earth, where you have superpowers.
3. Mix yourself with sugar, spice, and everything nice. And oh, don’t forget the chemical X.

But before you completely become a superhero, you have some things to think about before swoooshing and kablaaaamming… Read more »

Randomness for the nth time

Honesty is still the best policy…
Just this morning, as I prepared for school, I went inside my parents’ bedroom to check if I left some things there last night (which shows how messy I am). Then suddenly, out of my nerves, I felt and heard something cracked. I slowly lifted my right foot, and below my black leather shoe was mom’s pink reading glasses. Whew! Thank goodness the glasses themselves didn’t break, but what cracked was its right handle (the thing that you place on your ear, whatever it is).

The next thing I knew was that I was shouting, “Maaaaaa!!! Natapakan ko ‘yung salamin mo!!!”
“Alin, ‘yung pink?!”
“Opo…”
“Nabasag ba?”
“Er…hindi naman…”

I thought that she would fret or would yell at me for being not careful, but good thing she didn’t. Well, at least…I was honest.

What’s wrong with mothers watching the Olympics anyway?
Mother has been watching Beijing Olympics since its Day 1. I’m like, “When the fudge did she ever get into sports?!”. I don’t really mean that mothers shouldn’t watch sports…it’s just so sudden that she always demands the TV tuned on Solar Sports or C/S.

I only have one theory regarding my mother’s sudden amusement with sports — she fancies hot athletes…perhaps? Hmmm…

Will pay any amount for junk food
Canteen’s prices are still uber-high. When did the Philippines ever suffer inflation rate on junk foods? But in all fairness, the canteen is still on demand in spite of its bad reputation. Which, I guess, is a manifestation that kids are desperate for junk foods. But…pshaw! How bad can they be?! I mean, junk foods aren’t really junk. They still have some nutritional value, mind you!

Of Aching Legs And Freezing Arms, I Took The UPCAT

August 2nd, 2008 • College, Emoshitness, High School, Personal, Thoughts • 9 comments

Kamusta ang UPCAT? Mahirap ba?

My classmates kept on asking.

Madali lang, kayang-kaya mo ‘yon — was always my answer. I was in fact, lying. And to tell you the truth, UPCAT was the kind of exam I took up with crossed fingers, headaches, a bunch of good lucks and prayers from my family and friends. I took it up unprepared with only a week of review and leafing through a thick reviewer my aunt gave me. So judging from my one week preparation and the fact that the test items that appeared in the exam were sort of simple; I could put UPCAT in the middle, between Brain Drain and A Piece of Cake.

Speaking of brain drain, in spite of my judgement that the UPCAT is in the middle, I had a massive fucking global catastrophe of BRAIN DRAIN during my one week review. So destructive to the brain cells that I still have to review and remember some items while on my way to UP this morning to take the UPCAT.

And so, came the actual event. It was 6:30 AM of Saturday on the 2nd of August. I was sitting at the back row of some air conditioned room in NCPAG building in UP; freezing, since I was wearing no jacket. The rest of the five-hour exam went out swiftly off my mind as I stride my way out of the building. Right now, I don’t even know if I was sure or not on most of my answers. Only one thing is for sure in my memory — the Math subtest was hell.

Pano ka makakapasok ng UP nyan kung ganyan ang mga grades mo?!

I heard within my thoughts. It was my mom, scolding me, right after seeing my grades on the first quarter. It was more like a forethought of something I’m afraid to happen.

Now that I’m done with the UPCAT, now I need to take care of my grades and straighten myself towards my studies. And now that our 1st quarter periodical exam is coming closer, I need to study more.

And I shall.
