+The Nerds and Geeks Saga
--
=I know, it's vacation time, but Batch 09 is so united that you cannot stop them from having outings, practices and online flame wars. And that last thing is what this post is all about.
--
/It started with my post, Geeks and Nerds 101. Daryll Panaligan of Eme09 started his blog (MITHRIL), perhaps inspired by the idea of online propaganda against geeks and nerds. He then wrote a post about nerds (Warning. Defcon 5) in Pisay, particularly those in Batch 09. About the Tres Wierdos.
/The Tres Wierdos is no more, for the group has expanded into a Fellowship (The Three Hunters and the Fellowship of the Ring?), having recently included Michael of Ruby09. (see [CPIR] 08.DEC.05)
/Jejomar Bongat, a classmate of Daryll and member, perhaps leader, of the Tres Wierdos, saw the messages in both Cuivielindalë and MITHRIL (PSHS Batch 09's #1 Source For Online Entertainment!) and, of course, got angry.
/And Jejomar, in behalf of the Fellowship, began his epic online struggle to remove the title of Supreme Nerd. You've seen parts of the action here at Cuivielindalë. Now see the full action from MITHRIL and Jejo's Life! (http://mithrilpontacoon.blogspot.com) (http://jejolife.blogspot.com)
/But Jejo's master plan/strategy backfired. He posted "I am not a nerd!" over and over again in his blog. Several people spoke against this 'opinion', therefore making his statements hypocritical.
/Daryll the Pontacoon finished off Jomar with the post Level Up!, which used the superweapon, Public Opinion, against Jomar.
/Finally, the last act of the war involved Jomar using the "spirit of Christmas" as an excuse for giving up his fight. His post, Watch Out... (in Jejo's Life), promised a new and improved Jomar: the 2006 Jejo, who will shock you all!
--
=Okay, let's just wait for January 3, 2006. For the meantime, witness the whole action from both sites. I think you can even participate, by voting in the polls about Jejo's wierdness. And, who can tell, maybe the War isn't over yet?

[CPIR] 08.DEC.05 Special Report
08.DEC.05
--
+Christmas Dance/Party Day (and Night)
--
=Unfortunately for me, this day was a very fateful one. Many things happened, unspeakable events. The news would go ever on and on, so I will just give a few highlights.
--
/Cyd Calub of Topaz09, famous only (I mean ONLY) for his dancing, and breakdancing, abilities, was proven no match for Michael of Ruby09. *we are being sarcastic*
/Kevin Caballa and Theia of Garnet09, called by some as the Couple of the Batch.
/The announcement was "every girl in the batch should dance tonight." Gays showed up suddenly on the dance floor.
/A probably pirated copy of Orange and Lemon's Pinoy Ako song played unsuccessfuly (meaning, complete with the glitches, scratches and pauses that always comes with pirated CDs) several times, to the disappointment of Pinoy Big Brother fans (like Jomar Bongat of Eme09).
/Some people were spotted reading Noli Me Tangere.
/Sir Joey Flores, for some unknown purpose, announced "There are only about 80 girls in the batch." Anyway, all the girls were required to dance, and with a male partner. ("No same sex couples please"). What happened is, some guys danced several times with different partners. It should actually be the other way around. Well, nothing special in this one...
/(Completely unrelated to the party) Dia09 reportedly no match to Eme09 in D.O.T.A.
/(A typical Haler comment) The only Hale song played was The Day You Said Goodnight, and that was after the party, and was not even completed.
/Perhaps this night would be forever remembered by Batch 09 as PDA Night, or the Night of Countless Secrets Revealed. For some (including the author), it would also be a night of deep melancholy.

[Fil] Chain Message
Lahat ng may email, cellphone at Instant Messenger ay alam na 'to. 'Yung iba naniniwala, 'yung karamihan hindi. Siguro noon, noong mga panahon ng snail mail, medyo marami pa ang naniniwala sa mga pananakot na nakasulat sa mga message na 'yon. Pero ngayon, kung hindi mura e libre nang magpalaganap ng mga ganito. Kahit sino pwedeng gumawa.
Hindi ako naniniwala sa mga chain messages. Dati, oo. Eto ang storya: nasa simbahan ako noon, at may nakita akong papel sa upuan. Photocopy lang, isang page, may nawawala pang mga parts. Ang daming nakasulat doon, paulit-ulit, tungkol sa mga taong nanalo sa lotto dahil pinasa nila 'yung message at mga taong namatay dahil hindi sila naniwala. Ako naman, inuwi ko 'yung papel. Ilang linggo matapos, nakalimutan ko na 'yung message, nagkalagnat ako. Matagal. Sabi ng nanay ko baka dahil daw 'yon dun sa message. Gumaling naman ako, tapos naibalik 'yung papel sa simbahan. Wala lang. Nakakatawang isipin ngayon...mas effective pala pag nasa papel nakasulat. Hehe.
Pero madalas pwede rin namang magtrip sa mga chain messages.
Sa Yahoo! Messenger may nareceive ako, something like this:
"I'm Teodoro Mario Jose Tadeo Elena Victoria Mercado Y Ya Lleno de Vigor dela Cruz Adios Patria Adorada, 66 years old, pumuputi ang buhok, may nakatusok at nakalawit na kutsilyo sa tagiliran, tanggal isang mata, duguan ang kabila, putol isang paa, kalahati nalang yung isa pa, at butas ang bituka. Makikita mo ako mamayang hatinggabi at sisigaw ka ng "Tulong! Tulong! Tinutusok ako ng kutsilyo!" kung hindi mo ito ipapasa sa lahat ng contacts mo (pati 'yung crush mo...huwag ka nang mahiya, masama ang torpe...tnx!) sa loob ng isang oras. Kung magagawa mo iyon nang wala pang limang minuto, may bonus! Mananalo ka ng lotto. At kung hindi mo pa ito tapos basahin ay ipinasa mo na, hindi ako nagsisinungaling."
So pinasa ko naman, libre naman, may pahabol pa akong comment:
"Walang kwenta (pero pinasa ko parin...)"
Maya-maya bumalik sakin, pati 'yung comment ko mismo.
Kung 'yung "punishment" ng chain message ay ang pagkamatay ang isa mong kamag-anak, ang comment na katulad ng nasa baba ay reasonable pa:
"sori...had to pass...i love my family eh!"
Pero once, may talagang stupid na comment:
"The person who created this spam message sucks. This should not be passed."

+The First Day Of The Second Hell Week
--
/English perio by Sir J. Arguelles and Sir J. Flores (09 English teachers) "too easy".
/EarthSci perio ended again with the controversial "Earth Sci Rocks! True or False?" kind of question.
/Topaz09's first TechPrep perio ended with unexpected excitement and thrill. Sir Mike Albano's exam may have asked ordinary questions, but these were presented in a blog-like format, fill in the blanks. The other part involved rewriting part of a recent groupwork, and the bonus was a long question that required everything the student has learned in TechPrep to answer. Well, almost. The exciting thing is, only a few had the chance to review, so there were special rules - after 53 minutes from the start of the test, it became an open-notes exam. And the best part was the last two minutes, which temporarily suspended the school's rules against academic dishonesty. Simply stated, during the last two minutes everyone was allowed to share their answers ("cheat legally").

+The First Hell Week has ended.
--
/Sir Joey Flores: "I can't believe it's a Saturday!" "Enjoy what's left of your weekend."
/Jason Bonggao of Topaz 09 performs a nearly-90-degrees goal kick which spins back to the goal; the Own Goal of the Week.
/Godfrey and Andrei of Eme09 reports Eme's complaints about the Christmas party to Batch President Luigi Manzo. The discussion ends with a "rather promising" suggestion to place two large, and somewhat double-meaning, signboards at the gate during the party which will keep out parents and allow no-one but those who know how to dance.
/Many 09 students from several sections reportedly sleepless because of SocSci requirement. YM status messages included: "Nakakatamad pumasok bukas." "Uy, socsci ko nga pala." "Ika-cram ko pa socsci." "Wow...ang daming taong galit sa socsci ngayon...wait, gagawin ko pa pala 'yung sakin..."
And...
/Pisay 09 Class One Nerds Reunion! (see MITHRIL, link at right column) Jejomar Bongat, Daryll Alvero and EJ Dela Peña united! They're now called the Tres Wierdos!

/Quintin of Topaz 09's message for everyone to see/hear: I love airplanes! Daryll Alvero and Jejomar Bongat are my bestfriends!
/Diamond 09 plays against "Kuya Max's Team" (2nd years soccer-lovers with Max Gana as leader) during UB. Final score: 2-1, in favor of Max.
/Richard of Dia09 successfuly scores with a kick from the center of the field, for the second day. Watchers stare in awe. "I've only seen that in cartoons! Now I can do it!"
/Ruby 09 plays a wierd game with a soccer ball. Looked like dodgeball. Dodgeball with no rules.
/Topaz 09 turns ValEd class into PE ("Thanks, Sir Reyes!"). The boys (and a few Laab girls) played soccer. MVP: Jayvee Vitug, now also known as 'Shaolin'.
/More first years cook, for their Health 1 requirement. PEHM teachers appoointed as judges. Food poisoning reportedly inevitable.
/Jiggs of Topaz 09 rocked the 4th floor auditorium with a borrowed electric guitar. He got scolded by a Math teacher.
/Bob Ong's bestsellers, ABNKKBSNPLAKo?!?, Bakit Baliktad Magbasa Ng Libro Ang Mga Pilipino and Ang Paboritong Libro Ni Hudas, still gaining popularity.
And...
/Sir Fajardo spotted fixing hair on 4th floor faculty lady's CR (by the author).

[Fil] Geeks and Nerds 101 v. 1.1
Definition: wala. Basta wierdo sila. As in wierdo. Walang special skill o talino. Kung job sa Ragnarök Online ang Wierdo, eto yung hindi pa nakakabili ng bagong load, new user pa lang, level 99 na.
At bilang pagtatapos ng Nerd Articles ko, sasabihin ko sa inyo ang bagong codename para sa mga nerds: Candy. (Nerds, that famous 20 pesos per box na candy)
