Havaianas vs. Spartan

AJ Jorge May 7th, 2008

Sobrang natawa lang ako dito sa forwarded email na ito. Swak na swak sa masang Pinoy!

Pangalan: Havaianas

Lugar na pinanggalingan: S�o Paulo, Brazil
Pagbigkas:
ah-vai-YAH-nas (Brazilian Portuguese)
hah-vee-ah-naz (American English)
OMG! hah-va-yaH-naZz! (Filipino)
Materyal na ginamit: Malupit na goma (high-quality rubber).
Presyo: Depende. Ganito na lang, 1 pares ng Havaianas = 100 pares ng Spartan.
Mga nagsusuot: Mga konyotik at mga mayayaman (na noong una ay nababaduyan sa mga naka-de sipit na tsinelas at sasabihing, “Yuck! So baduy naman nila, naka-slippers lang.”)
Malulupit na katangian at kakayahan:
- Masarap isuot.
- Shock-absorbent
- Malambot ngunit matibay
- Makukuha sa sandamakmak na kulay, disenyo at burloloy
- Maaaring isuot sa loob ng Starbucks
- Mainam na pang-japorms
- Mainam i-terno sa I-Pod at Caramel Macchiato
- Mapipilitan kang maglinis ng mga kuko mo sa paa
- Maaari ka nang mag-dikwatro sa loob ng mga pampublikong lugar at sasakyan
- Magiging ‘fashionable’ ka kapag ikaw ay nagkukuyakoy
Olats na mga katangian:
Mahal!
Mahal!
Mahal!

Pangalan: Spartan
Spartan Tsinelas
Lugar na Pinanggalingan: Metro Manila, Philippines
Pagbigkas:
spar-tan (American English),
is-par-tan (Filipino).
Materyal na ginamit: Pipitsuging goma (Low-quality rubber).
Presyo: Wala pang 50 pesos.
Isang pares ng Spartan = 20 piraso ng pan de coco.
Mga nagsusuot: ang masa (gaya-gaya lang ang mga sosyal at pasyonista)
Malulupit na katangian at kakayahan:
- Maaring ipampatay sa ipis
- Maaring ipampalo sa mga batang suwail at damuho
- Pwedeng ipanglusong sa baha at putikan
- Pwedeng ipamalengke
- Mainam gamitin sa tumbang-preso
- Mainam gawing ‘shield’ kapag naglalaro ng espa-espadahan
- Mainam isuot sa siko bilang proteksyon habang naglalaro ng piko
- Mainam na pambato sa picha o shuttlecock na sumabit sa puno
- Mainam na pangkulob sa pumuputok na watusi
- Kapag ginupit-gupit nang pahugis ‘cube,’ e maaari mo nang gawing pamato sa larong Bingo na kadalasang makikita sa mga lamay ng patay.
Olats na mga katangian:
- Madaling magkawalaan kapag hinubad dahil halos pare-pareho lang ang itsura
- Masakit isuot kapag may mga balahibo ang mga daliri mo sa paa
- Minsan kapag ipinambato mo ito sa picha o shuttlecock na nakasabit sa puno, e nadadamay pati yung tsinelas

A student’s log of his UP days

penny March 8th, 2008

While bored to my wits, I went into yet another google frenzy and found this site. I found it so funny I just had to share it. It would probably be of interest to some UP graduates, especially those from Computer Science (CS).

It is a little website made by some sad computer science student in UP (he’s probably somewhere writing code to save the world now). In the website, the author (Alec, from what I gather in his pages) outlines his experiences in each of his academic courses in bullets. He documented what he learned (if any) from the course, his professor/teacher and what he/she was like, and other things he experienced in his classes. At one point he says in one CS subject “walang lab, pero ewan ko kung bakit natuto akong mag-program dito”.

Math teachers he mentions are Dr Pizana, Dr Roque, Dr Alejandro (now Kazanidis), Prof Adorio, Cherry Ramos and Ajay Jorge =)

Janep Avatar Simpsons Style

AJ Jorge July 17th, 2007

In honor of the forthcoming much anticipated Simpons movie, everyone is encouraged to make his own Simpsons avatar here.

I had a hard time making my traits with the limited selection over at the site. This is the best I can come up with. [pen edits with hers too]
