Better Think, Even without a Click

Twitter, facebook, at kung anu-ano pang pa-headline or status message. Lahat feeling opinonated, isusulat ang kada patutsada ng isip, magmukha lang "intellectual". 

But one should always go back to basics. Know your words, at least definitions. Better kung pati etymology and usage nacheck mo bago ka magbitaw ng salita. Well, di naman lahat English major or college graduate, so plus points na lang kung up to that extent and basics mo. Anyway...

Overrated sa akin ang twitter at status headline ng facebook. Lahat na lang gusto ibroadcast, maski ginagawa sa CR, or pinagpapantasyahan. Then lahat may venue na para makapagbigay opinion. Sige ayos lang sana. Pero kahit walang katuturan or hindi man lang pinag-iisipan, basta maisulat na kahit punahin babanat pa ng "I am entitled to my opinion." Porque sabi sa school dati, "Express your opinion - walang tama or mali sa opinion, kasi opinion mo yun e." See, mismong salitang opinion hindi madefine without using the word itself. May opinion ka nga, pero may ibig sabihin ung "there's no right or wrong" na misinterpreted na karamihan. "There's no right or wrong opinion" sa kadahilanang it is still subject for approval. Pwedeng hindi siya mali kung nasa lugar naman, pero hindi siya tama agad kung taliwas sa mga partikular na pamantayan.

Lahat gusto may maisulat. Pero bago magsulat, namnamin muna ang mga pahayag ng iba. Then kung magrereact, namnamin din ang sariling salita bago iluwa. Huwag tayong basta dura ng dura, makalat kasi. Be the human that you are... mag-isip muna.

P.S.

Just flexing some neurons. It's been awhile since I've written anything, uhm, lengthy.
I miss my old blogging self - like back in college.

Inspired by Ignorance

I hate to break it to you guys, but this PR guy just inspired (or should I say, "in spite") me to blog. After a long break from blogging (for other reasons, that I'll have to write about some other time), this guy did a great job urging me to write. Truly, by imbibing the very lyrical "just the way you are", truly truuuully, he's just so amazing. AMAZINGLY STUPID (feel the rage in this statement. please).

Of course, I'd like to share this ugh-mazing encounter with you. Come on, let's all revel in his greatness.

Oh, shit! He already blocked me after his reply to me. If only you can check his account (I wouldn't dare you to even pry on his existence, but for the sake of this entry, sige search nyo siya), you'd read there that he's of Spanish descent, and that he's real name is something foreign, and that he has a list of sudo names. Yes, you read that right - SUDO NAMES - which included Peter Parker, Aldof Thiler, even Henry Si. Oh, diba ugh-mazing guy!

Ako naman si Mr. Charitable, I sent him a message which was plain and simple:

"Sudo Name", is spelled PSEUDONYM. You might want to change that.

I did that out of goodwill and service to all humankind. And this is his response to that:

Syempre, like any normal human being, I'd retaliate or at least defend myself from his arrogance (at para rin puksain ang mga tulad nya). I was about to send my lenghty reply when I remembered to check first if he blocked me. As expected, he did. Ganyan naman talaga mga nilalang na tulad nya sa PR.

Seriously, I do not understand where they get such attitude, kung saang kaibuturan (I double checked this term, and amazing may online Filipino dictionary. Something I learned new today! Hoorah!) nila nahalukay ung ugali nila... pati na rin kung saang kweba sila namuhay, ni anino nila di nasilayan.

Sigh... poor soul.

NOT. At dahil nga blocked na ko sa kanya, gusto ko pa rin iparating ang mensahe ko sa kanya, pai na rin sa mga kalahi nya.

Isa kang malaking tanga. Imbes na nagpasalamat ka dahil itinama ka, e nagmalaki ka pa ng katangahan mo.
Basahin mo ulit ung mensahe mo at tingnan mo kung sino arrogante.
Using words too big for your own vocabulary. Sige nga, define GROTESQUE. Define INCONGRUOUS. What is the the etymology of INCONGRUOUS?

Maliban sa pagkakamali mo sa SUDO NAME, ang tanga mo pa.
"i am bloody aware of that mister.that's how i want to use the word." Bobo. Pano ka gagamit ng isang salitang wala namang katuturan ni kabuluhan?
First time kong magmura sa isang user dito.

Congratulations ikaw ang una, sa sobrang katangahan.

Mister, huwag kang magkakamaling sumalubong sa landas ko...
baka mapaluhod at mapasamba ako sa katangahan mo. I really cannot believe such ignorance exist.

A Bowl of Hot Soup and A Warm Hug :: LQ epsiode 1

Apparently RD is not willing to share some tonight.

Of Gusts and Tides

Fck.

Wala pang isang buwan mula nang nangumpisal ako, mukhang nababali ko na ang aking panata. Biglang nag-iba ang ihip ng hangin nitong nakaraang linggo, malakas ang hampas pabaling sa kabilang direksyon.

Of Intellectual Conversations

I've been back in PR for the past week already. Yes, I signed up a second account out of boredom. It's been a fast paced, uhm, socializing I must say.

Anyhow... I enjoy reading profiles. Then I came across this guy's profile declaring he only likes intellectual conversations but hates hi-hello and thinks it is stupid. I can't help it but send a message, I wanna check what's under the hood of this guy.

The conversation I believe was just starting. I hit the Send button for my reply, but was caught off guard. The jerk blocked me. First time ko, kaya gulat ako. Honestly, I'm quite pissed. One, it's rude to block a conversation just like that. Two, he thinks too highly of himself, and that he's too good for a simple hi. I resent such jerks. Now, I'm wondering how does this guy even strike a conversation? May kagat-labi? With a wink? Or perhaps with a song? Oh, he's good then. Now I'm thinking he's the kind of person na masyadong nahuhumaling sa idea ng pick up lines, someone who take down notes from tv or from comedy bars.

Maybe I'm just over-reacting. But I hate this guy's guts.
