Kung mayaman ka, meron kang "allergy"
Kung mahirap ka, ang tawag dyan ay "galis" o "bakokang"

[quiz stolen from: richard guanco]

sessile (SES-il) adjective

  1. Attached directly to the base, without a stalk (as a leaf or a flower).

  2. Permanently attached; immobile (as an animal, for example a barnacle).

[From Latin sessilis (relating to sitting), from sedere (to sit). Ultimately
from the Indo-European root sed- (to sit) that is also the source of sit,
chair, saddle, soot, sediment, cathedral, and tetrahedron.]

-Anu Garg (words at www.wordsmith.org)

 "The history of seating is a serious subject... several books pay tribute
  to what might be called great moments in modern chair history...  here
  is the bottom line on them. The archdruid, or should I say the chairman,
  of the sessile sect is Alexander von Vegesack, the director of the Vitra
  Design Museum, the major collection of modern chairs extant."
  Raymond Sokolov; Staying Put; The Wall Street Journal (New York);
  Dec 4, 1997.


Sessile: evidence of my high school closet-nerdiness and my lovely friends who moved on to MIT (Massachusetts, hindi Mapua), UCLA (California, not Pampanga), NUS (Singapore, not Sampaloc), UP and Ateneo for tertiary and graduate studies.  In Ms. Jessamyn Yazon's Biology class, we would always have images of her elegantly perched on top of the table, explaining how barnacles have sessilized to their substrate.

After class, my friends and I would remain sitting in the Pisay Cafeteria, waving our hands in the air, mimicking marine polyps, crying out; "SESSILE, SESSILE, SESSILE!" The bell would ring and we would simply simply justify our chronic lethargy and immobility as having sessilized to the chair, our wooden substrate.

Presently, I believe I have sessilized to the computer chair in my underwear, downloading stock images, blogging and instant messaging, banging out a dozen e-mails or so as I desperately try to pluck out fibers of creativity from the gossamer webs of Cyberspace.

In other words, tinatamad akong magtrabaho, paksyet! I am sessile incarnate!

ELECTIONS 2007

While walking down the street one day, a Philippine
senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at
the entrance.

"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you
settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see
a high ranking official around these parts, you see,
so we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the senator. "Well,
I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What
we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in
heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."

"Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in
heaven," says the senator.

"I'm sorry, but we have our rules."

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator
and he goes down, down, down to hell.

The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a
championship golf course. In the distance is a
clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his
friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in formal evening dress.
They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce
about the good times they had while getting rich at
the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dined on
lobster, caviar and champagne.

Also present was the devil, who really is a very
friendly guy, he was having a good time dancing and
telling jokes.

They are all having such a good time that before the
senator realizes it, it was time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while
the elevator rises...

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in
heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him, "Now it's
time to visit heaven."

So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of
contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing
the harp and singing. They have a good time and,
before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and
St. Peter returns.

"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in
heaven. Now choose your eternity."

The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers:
"Well, I would never have said it before, I mean
heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be
better off in hell."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes
down, down, down to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the
middle of a barren land covered with waste and
garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags,
picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as
more trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around
his shoulders.

"I don't understand," stammers the senator. "Yesterday
I was here and there was a golf course and a
clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank
champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now
there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my
friends look miserable. What happened?"

The devil smiles at him and says,

"Yesterday we were campaigning

...... Today, you voted!"

Trivia 'bout Diff'rent Universities, Colleges in RP
(Walang Pikunan. Joke Joke Joke Lang!)
NI ROLAND TOLENTINO
 
Mahirap Lahat
 
Sa UP, mahirap ang Math.
Sa Ateneo, mahirap ang English.
Sa La Salle, mahirap ang parking.
Sa Assumption, mahirap ang walang pera.
Sa UST, mahirap umuwi kapag baha.
Sa St. Scho, mahirap sumakay sa LRT.
Sa San Beda, mahirap maging lalaki.
Sa bayan, mahirap ang buhay.
 
Where To Go To College?
 
If you have a lot of brains and a little money, go to UP.
If you have some brains and some money, go to Ateneo.
If you have no brains and lots of money, go to La Salle.
Pero kapag nagtaas na sa komersyal na antas ang matrikula sa UP, kahit may utak ka kung wala kang pera, wala ka nang mapupuntahan.
 
Christmas Spirit
 
A few days before Christmas, the Monsignor thought it would be a good idea if he solicited the support of a number of the Catholic schools to get together to create a Nativity Scene in time for the Christmas Mass. The day before Christmas, the Monsignor discovered that the Nativity Scene was still incomplete so he made a few inquiries on why this was.
So Ateneo reported it would come up with only two and not three wise men.  La Salle reported it couldn't come up with even a single wise man.  Maryknoll reported it couldn't come up with a single virgin. San Beda reported that it could only come up with three wise gays. UP reported that they killed the three wise men.
Kung si GMA ang tatanungin, nabili na niya ang tatlong hari para hindi siya i-impeach.  Kung militar, ay! tignan na lamang ang kulang sa 800 na politikal na pinaslang.
At magbuhat ngayon, kahit hindi Pasko, tayo ay magbigayan.
 
Pasikatan ng Gradweyts
 
UP:  A number of past Philippine presidents graduated from UP. Presidents Roxas, Quirino, Laurel, Garcia and Marcos, to name just a few!
 
Ateneo:  Hah! That's nothing, a number of Ateneo graduates became national heroes like Jose Rizal, Gen. Gregorio del Pilar, Gen. Antonio Luna, Evelio Javier and many others.
 
UP:  That just goes to show you, UP graduates become presidents and lead countries while Ateneans end up getting shot!
 
La Salle:  Wala 'yan.  Talo kayo sa mga gradweyt namin!
 
UP & Ateneo:  Bakit, sino ba mga graduates ninyo?
 
La Salle:  Aba!  Marami kaming sikat na gradweyts:  si Gary Valenciano, Dingdong Avanzado, Ogie Alcasid, Monsour del Rosario…
 
Paaralan ng Lansangan:  Edgar Jopson, Emmanuel Lacaba, Lean Alejandro, Karen Empeño….  (idagdag ang iba pang pangalan).
 
How To Identify A La Sallite
 
                Pumasok sa isang tindahan sa Megamall ang isang La Sallite at nagsabi, "Miss, pabili nga ng green parrot, please."  Tumingin sa kanya ang saleslady at nagtanong, "Sir, taga-La Salle ba kayo?"
                "O, bakit mo naman natanong 'yan?  Kung umorder ba ako ng blue cheese ay taga Ateneo na ako?  I don't think so.  Kung ako ba ay bumili ng maroon na t-shirt, ibig bang sabihin noon ay taga-UP na ako?  I think not.  Kung nagtanong ba ako ng red dawn ay taga-Paaralan na Lansangan na ako?  Me thinks not.  Kaya bakit mo ako tinatanong kapag bumibili ako ng green parrot kung taga-La Salle ako?"
                "E sir," sagot ng saleslady, "flower shop kasi ito."
 
Paano Mo Alam Kapag Nakita Mo?
 
                Sa isang malaking party ng Philippine Society of Colleges and Universities, and Pangulo ng Board ay nagtaka kung ano ang mga partikular na eskuwelahan ang dumalo sa malaking selebrasyon.  Kaya nagtsek siya sa pinagaganap na bahay, at hulaan ninyo kung ano ang nakita niya at kung saan niya nakita ang mga ito?
                UP Diliman – ang lahat ay nakapila sa hanay sa attic para magkaroon ng fraternity ritual
                UP Los Baños – nasa hardin at naggugupit ng damo
                UP Manila – lahat ay "naka-droga"
                Ateneo – nasa loob sila ng TV room na may mikropono at nagtsa-chant ng "Blue Eagle" spelling
                La Salle – nag-uusyoso sila
                San Beda – ang iba ay katabi ng Ateneans, ang iba ay katabi ng Paulinians
                St. Paul – akala nila ay ang katabi nila ay taga-Ateneo
                La Consolacion – gusto sana nilang maging Paulinians
                Holy Spirit – gusto nila ang Paulinians
                Miriam – katabi sila ng kwarto ng Ateneans, tulad ng dati
                Assumption – nasa loob sila ng banyo tatlong oras na simula nang dumating sila
                St. Scholastica – sila ang nakapilang kasunod na gagamit ng banyo
                CEU – ang iba ay naghuhugas ng pinggan, ang iba ay busy na naglalaba
                St Louis – lahat sila ay nasa harapan ng air con
                UE – hindi nila alam kung ano ang air conditioner
                UST – nakakalat sila sa bahay
                FEU – wala sila sa bahay

                TIP – sila ang nambato sa bubong kaya tumutulo
                NU – nasa labas sila ng bahay at nagbebenta ng sigarilyo
                JRC – sila ang bumibili ng yosi
                Adamson – nagpunta na lang sila sa Luneta
                Sta. Isabel – sila ang mga date ng taga-Adamson

                AMA – pinaparada nila ang Jolina posters
                Paaralan ng Bayan – nagmi-meeting sila sa kabilang kwarto, nagplaplano ng rally.
 
A Murder Mystery (to be solved solely on the basis of pure logic)

The Humble Atenean
The Bright La Sallite
The Innocent Maryknoller
The Unaffected Assumptionista
Ang Aktibista sa Klase

Blog EntryThe Laws of AnimeDec 3, '06 1:17 PM
for everyone

The Laws of Anime (a tribute to my bs applied physics roots)

Version 6.0

Originally compiled and edited by Darrin Bright and Ryan Shellito

Read about the history of the Laws of Anime.


  • Law of Metaphysical Irregularity

    The normal laws of physics do not apply.


  • Law of Differentiated Gravitation

    Whenever someone or something jumps, is thrown, or otherwise is rendered airborne, gravity is reduced by a factor of 4.


  • Law of Sonic Amplification, First Law of Anime Acoustics

    In space, loud sounds, like explosions, are even louder because there is no air to get in the way.


  • Law of Constant Thrust, First Law of Anime Motion

    In space, constant thrust equals constant velocity.


  • Law of Mechanical Mobility, Second Law of Anime Motion

    The larger a mechanical device is, the faster it moves. Armored Mecha are the fastest objects known to human science.


  • Law of Temporal Variability

    Time is not a constant. Time stops for the hero whenever he does something 'cool' or 'impressive'. Time slows down when friends and lovers are being killed and speeds up whenever there is a fight.


  • First Law of Temporal Mortality

    'Good Guys' and 'Bad Guys' both die in one of two ways. Either so quick they don't even see it coming, OR it's a long drawn out affair where the character gains much insight to the workings of society, human existence or why the toast always lands butter side down.


  • Second Law of Temporal Mortality

    It takes some time for bad guys to die... regardless of physical damage. Even when the 'Bad Guys' are killed so quickly they didn't even see it coming, it takes them a while to realize they are dead. This is attributed to the belief that being evil damages the Reality Lobe of the brain.


  • Law of Dramatic Emphasis

    Scenes involving extreme amounts of action are depicted with either still-frames or black screens with a slash of bright color (usually red or white).


  • Law of Dramatic Multiplicity

    Scenes that only happen once, for instance, a 'Good Guy' kicks the 'Bad Guy' in the face, are seen at least 3 times from 3 different angles.


  • Law of Inherent Combustability

    Everything explodes. Everything.

    • First Corollary - Anything that explodes bulges first.

    • Second Corollary - Large cities are the most explosive substances known to human science. Tokyo in particular seems to be the most unstable of these cities, sometimes referred to as "The Matchstick City".


  • Law of Phlogistatic Emission

    Nearly all things emit light from fatal wounds.


  • Law of Energetic Emission

    There is alway an energy build up (commonly referred to as an energy 'bulge') before Mecha or space craft weapons fire. Because of the explosive qualities of weapons, it is believed that this is related to the Law of Inherent Combustability.


  • Law of Inverse Lethal Magnitude

    The destructive potential of a weapon is inversely proportional to its size.

    • First Corollary - Small and cute will always overcome big and ugly. Also know as the A-Ko phenomenon.


  • Law of Inexhaustability

    No one *EVER* runs out of ammunition. That is of course unless they are cornered, out-numbered, out-classed, and unconscious.


  • Law of Inverse Accuracy

    The accuracy of a 'Good Guy' when operating any form of fire-arm increases as the difficulty of the shot increases. The accuracy of the 'Bad Guys' when operating fire-arms decreases when the difficulty of the shot decreases. (Also known as the Stormtrooper Effect)

    Example: A 'Good Guy' in a drunken stupor being held upside down from a moving vehicle will always hit, and several battalions of 'Bad Guys' firing on a 'Good Guy' standing alone in the middle of an open field will always miss.

    • First Corollary - The more 'Bad Guys' there are, the less likely they will hit anyone or do any real damage.

    • Second Corollary - Whenever a 'Good Guy' is faced with insurmountable odds, the 'Bad Guys' line up in neat rows, allowing the hero to take them all out with a single burst of automatic fire and then escape.

    • Third Corollary - Whenever a 'Good Guy' is actually hit by enemy fire, it is in a designated 'Good Guy Area', usually a flesh wound in the shoulder or arm, which restricts the 'Good Guy' from doing anything more strenuous than driving, firing weaponry, using melee weapons, operating heavy machinery, or doing complex martial arts maneuvers.


  • Law of Transient Romantic Unreliability

    Minmei is a bimbo.


  • Law of Hemoglobin Capacity

    The human body contains over 12 gallons of blood, sometimes more, under high pressure.


  • Law of Demonic Consistency

    Demons and other supernatural creatures have at least three eyes, loads of fangs, tend to be yellow-green or brown (but black is not unknown), and can only be hurt by bladed weapons.


  • Law of Militaristic Unreliability

    Huge galaxy-wide armadas, entire armies, and large war-machines full of cruel, heartless, bloodthirsty warriors can be stopped and defeated with a single insignificant example of a caring/loving emotion or a song.


  • Law of Tactical Unreliability

    Tactical geniuses aren't....


  • Law of Inconsequential Undetectability

    People never notice the little things... Like missing body parts, or wounds the size of Seattle.


  • Law of Juvenile Intellectuality

    Children are smarter than adults. And almost always twice as annoying.


  • Law of Americanthropomorphism

    Americans in Anime appear in one of two roles, either as a really nasty skinny 'Bad Guy' or a big stupid 'Good Guy'.

    • First Corollary - The only people who are more stupid than the big dumb Americans are the American translators. (Sometimes referred to as the Green Line Effect.)

    • Second Corollary - The only people who are more stupid than the American translators are the American editors and censors.


  • Law of Mandibular Proportionality

    (from A. Hicks)

    The size of a person's mouth is directly proportional to the volume at which they are speaking or eating.


  • Law of Feline Mutation

    (from A. Hicks)

    Any half-cat/half-human mutation will invariably:

    1. be female,
    2. will possess ears and sometimes a tail as a genetic mutation,
    3. and wear as little clothing as possible, if any.

  • Law of Conservation of Firepower

    (from U. Williams)

    Any powerful weapon capable of destroying/defeating an opponent in a single shot will invariably be reserved and used only as a last resort.


  • Law of Technological User-Benevolence

    (from U. Williams)

    The formal training required to operate a spaceship or mecha is inversely proportional to its complexity.


  • Law of Melee Luminescence

    (from U. Williams)

    Any being displaying extremely high levels of martial arts prowess and/or violent emotions emits light in the form of a glowing aura. This aura is usually blue for 'good guys' and red for 'bad guys'. This is attributed to Good being higher in the electromagnetic spectrum than Evil.


  • Law of Non-anthropomorphic Antagonism

    (from U. Williams)

    All ugly, non-humanoid alien races are hostile, and usually hell-bent on destroying humanity for some obscure reason.


  • Law of Follicular Chroma Variability

    (from Spellweaver)

    Any color in the visible spectrum is considered a natural hair color. This color can change without warning or explanation.


  • Law of Follicular Permanence

    Hair in anime is pretty much indestructible, and can resist any amount of meteorological conditions, energy emissions, physical abuse, or explosive effects and still look perfect. The only way to hurt someone's hair is the same way you deal with demons... with bladed weapons!


  • Law of Topological Aerodynamics, First Law of Anime Aero-Dynamics

    *ANY* shape, no matter how convoluted or odd-looking, is automatically aerodynamic.


  • Law of Probable Attire

    Clothing in anime follows certain predictable guidelines.

    Female characters wear as little clothing as possible, regardless of whether it is socially or meteorologically appropriate. Any female with an excessive amount of clothing will invariably have her clothes ripped to shreds or torn off somehow. If there is no opportunity to tear off the afore-mentioned female's clothes, then she will inexplicably take a shower for no apparent reason (also known as the Gratuitous Shower Scene).

    Whenever there is a headwind, a Male characters will invariably wear a long cloak which doesn't hamper movement and billows out dramatically behind him.

    • First Corollary (Cryo-Adaptability) - All anime characters are resistant to extremely cold temperatures, and do not need to wear heavy or warm clothing in snow.

    • Second Corollary (Indecent Invulnerability) - Bikinis render the wearer invulnerable to any form of damage.


  • Law of Musical Omnipotence

    Any character capable of musical talent (singing, playing an instrument, etc.) is automatically capable of doing much more "simple" things like piloting mecha, fighting crime, stopping an intergalactic war, and so on... especially if they have never attempted these things before.


  • Law of Quitupular Aggultination

    (from Daniel Mikula)

    Also called "The Five-man Rule," when "Good Guys" group together, it tends to be in groups of five. There are five basic positions, which are:

    1. The Hero/Leader
    2. His girlfriend
    3. His Best Friend/Rival
    4. A Hulking Brute
    5. A Dwarf/Kid

    Between these basic positions are distributed several attributes, which include:

    1. Extreme Coolness
    2. Amazing intelligence
    3. Incredible Irritation

  • Law of Extradimensional Capacitance

    (from Jason Bustard)

    All anime females have an extradimensional storage space of variable volume somewhere on their person from which they can instantly retrieve any object at a moment's notice.

    • First Corollary (The Hammer Rule) - The most common item stored is a heavy mallet, which can be used with unerring accuracy on any male who deserves it. Other common items include costumes/uniforms, power suits/armor, and large bazookas.


  • Law of Hydrostatic Emission

    Eyes tend to be rather large in Anime. This is because they contain several gallons of water, which may be instantaneously released at high pressure through large tear ducts. The actual volume of water contained in the eyes is unknown, as there is no evidence to suggest that these reservoirs are actually capable of running out. The reason water tends to collect in the eyes is because Anime characters only have one large sweat gland, which is located at the back of the head. When extremely stressed, embarrassed, or worried, this sweat gland exudes a single but very large drop of sebaceous fluid.


  • Law of Inverse Attraction

    Success at finding suitable mates is inversely proportionate to how desperately you want to be successful. The more you want, the less you get.

    • First Corollary Unfortunately, this law seems to apply to Otaku in the real world...


  • Law of Nasal Sanguination

    (from Ryan Pritchard and Jason Aylen)

    When sexually aroused, males in Anime don't get erections, they get nosebleeds. No one's sure why this is, though... the current theory suggests that larger eyes means smaller sinuses and thinner sinus tissue (see Law #38 above). Females don't get nosebleeds, but invariably get one heck of a blush along the cheeks and across the nose, suggesting a lot of bloodflow to that region.


  • Law of Xylolaceration

    (from Lyndon Harris)

    Wooden or bamboo swords are just as sharp as metal swords, if not sharper.


  • Law of Juvenile Omnipotence

    (from Erin Alia)

    Always send a boy to do a man's job. He'll get it done in half the time and twice the angst.


  • Law of Quadrotriscadecophobia

    There is no Law #43.


  • Law of Nominative Clamovocation

    (from Luiko-Ysabeth and Adrian Hsiah)

    The likelihood of success and damage done by a martial arts attack is directly proportional to the volume at which the full name of the attack is announced.


  • Law of Uninteruptable Metamorphosis

    (from R. A. Hubby)

    Regardless of how long or involved the transformation sequence or how many times they've seen it before, any 'Bad Guys' witnessing a mecha/hero/heroine transforming are too stunned to do anything to interrupt it.


  • Law of Flimsy Incognition

    (from Conrad Knauer)

    Simply changing into a costume or wearing a teensy mask can make you utterly unrecognizable to even your closest friends and relatives.
