Publicity

Have you heard Alyssa Alano’s “Keys Me”? I heard about this in the news ages ago but I was only able to see and hear the video (with lyrics) last Monday. If you have not seen it, here is the video (brought to you by YouTube):

Actually, the title of the song should be “Kiss Me”. The rendition of Alyssa Alano was a very bad one. It has full of wrong pronunciations which makes it funny. In one way or another, because of this, people from other countries will have the notion that we don’t know how to pronounce correctly. But I admit that; Filipinos are not good at pronunciation! Please, don’t be offended. This is just my observation and opinion.

What more if you’ll add the accent?

I don’t know if this “Keys Me” is just a publicity stunt or if she does not really know how to pronounce words like beneath (v-neat), shoes (shoez) and fireflies (parflays) correctly. Mind you, if it is supposed to be a publicity stunt, it’s good for her! She became (somehow) famous because of this hillarious video.

Publicity stunt or not, it’s really hillarious. And this one also proves that Filipinos can still laugh in the midst of many problems. So keys me! Lol!

Oh, I want to plug my deviantART account. Please visit it and look at my gallery. Thanks! Actually, I’m getting addicted to it lately because of the new version of deviantART. And speaking of version, this site is still stocked at version19.5. I have not made a new layout yet. Besides I’m very busy and I’m having a layout block at the moment.

I just also want to announce to all Amazing Race fanatics, the next season is just around the corner. Lol! I can’t wait!

[EDIT] New layout! Woot! As you can see, the new layout features personalized postage stamps. (They’re just fictitious.) I’ll describe some of the pictures that are depicted in the stamps:

  • Restricted Mind: My first ever column. One of the two articles I wrote for this column is available here. (Last column, third row.)
  • SLRCSS: The logo of the school that I entered for thirteen years! (Last column, first row.)
  • EQ: Economy o’ Quality?: Our finals for Social Study is a documentary. I had a great time doing it! (Fourth row, columns three to five and second column, third row.)
  • Apung Manalangin: Click here. (First column, first row)

Underestimated

Everymonth, everyweek, everyday, I can’t help but to look back to my HS years.

I thought I will not miss my HS classmates, my teachers and the school that I entered for 13 years too much. I and my HS classmates always tag our school as a school that does not provide a quality education.

Apparently, we’re wrong! When our school was granted level 1 status by the PAASCU we were all schocked! Who will expect that a 15 year old (going 16) school will pass the evaluations of the PAASCU.

Well, I reckon we had this notion because most of us were already studying in that school since the early 90’s. We underestimated our teachers and our school and I’m sorry for that. I asked some of my blockmates who came from San Fernando, Pampanga if they heard of our school and if it’s somehow famous. They told me that it is! Whoa! I did not expect that also. Again, I underestimated my school. One of my blockmates told me (in the vernacular), “Why it won’t be famous? Two of your schoolmates are now in the show business and are products of a reality based show.” Now, don’t ask me who are they. Hehe.

Moving on, ever time I can, I tell my blockmates about my HS classmates and anything that is related to my GS and HS life. My teacher who don’t know how to speak in English well (oh, and now, we also got an instructor whose tongue is not good at English), our valedictorian, the size of our school, the programs that we had, and the covered multi-purpose court (you can do there whatever you want) in our school.

When the university that I’m currently attending decided to suspend classes (I went there, traveled for an hour just to find out that there are no classes that day) I and my friends decided to go to our school. As far as I know, they were the only ones here in San Fernando, Pamapga who had classes that day.

There were some changes in our school because it’s eying for the level 2 status. All of the computers in the computer room are now equipped with modems and are now connected to the internet. Also, they already have ID’s. And in the near future, students and pupils will swipe their ID’s as they enter the school premises.

Hey! I’m already advertising our school hu? Anybody who whishes to study in the school that I’m talking about, just ask me! Lol!

Yeah, I’m being nostalgic!

*****

My monitor at home is not working at the moment. I’m on a public comuter at school right now and abusing the resources! Lol! I got most of my grades for prelims already. My lowest grade is 84… SSC01b. Urgh!

[EDIT] I already have a brand new monitor! [/EDIT]

WARNING: Midterm exams are fast approaching!

The ‘H’ word

What else?

HIATUS!

Well, I don’t know if I can call this as hiatus because even if I have time to write here, I find it too hard to express myself at the moment. I feel very frustrated with how I express myself lately. I’m already halfway writing an entry and then, I’ll not finish it and just mark it as draft or if I really don’t like it, I’ll just delete whatever I was typing. So, I hope I will be able to finish and publish this one!

I’m dead sure that I will not be able to update as regularly as I want. Another reason for this is because I’m pretty busy with school.

Prelims is already finished and I’m pleased with the results of my exams, especially in Math! Wooot! I just hope I’m still alive when this term has ended.

Currently, I’m reading Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird”. Please don’t include spoilers on your comments as I’m still stocked at the first few pages of the book. I’m the only one who is allowed to post comments in this site. Lol!

Next time, I hope I can publish a more sensible entry than this. Urgh!

See you next time if there is a next time! Lol! I assure you one this, this is not my last post! It’s just I’m really busy at school! Oh, sorry if I’m not returning comments. But then again, I’m not obliged to return comments! Am I right or am I right? (Whatever!) I’ll return comments when I want and will only return comments to whom I want!
