Joke of the Day: Gotcha Mama

An 11-year-old boy catches a butterfly and pulls out its wings and then kills it. His father tell him:

“As punishment, you can’t have butter for two weeks.”

The next day, the son catches a honeybee and drives a needle through it’s tiny heart. His father tells him,

“As punishment, you can’t have honey for two weeks.“

That night, his mother steps on a cockroach and squishes it dead. The son asks his father,

“Do you tell her should or should I?”

Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

My boyfriend gave me a gift for our 2nd monthsary. It was a book, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, written by Rick Riordan. He bought it in Powerbooks for P305.

I find the book interesting after I read the synopsis:
 
Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school…again. And that’s the least of his troubles. Lately, the mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy’s Greek mythology textbook and into his life. And worse, he’s angered a few of them. Zeus’ master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.

Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeus’s stolen property and bring property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeedon his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.

Japsy told me that the said book will be shown as movie in 2010. I still have a lot of time to read the book before the movie will be shown next year. Here’s the trailer:

FEU wins the 2009 UAAP Cheerdance Competition

I never thought that I would be able to watch the 2009 Cheerdance Competition last Sunday. Japsy, my boyfriend, surprised and gave me tickets for the event. He bought the tickets from a FEU student, P400 each. We arrived early at Araneta Coliseum and sat beside students from Ateneo. It was Japsy’s first time to watch the competition and we enjoyed it!

Congratulations to all the winners!!! Here are the videos:

Champion: FEU

FEU deserved to win!!!

First Runner-Up: Ateneo

Flawless performance!!!

Second Runner-Up: UP

I was not that amazed with UP’s performance compared to last year.

 

I N A

Ina, ilaw  ng tahanan
Sa  mga anak ay nagpapatahan
Hirap at pagod kanilang dinaranas
Sa gawaing-bahay na ginagawa sa oras-oras

Kapag walang ina, anong mangyayari?
Ang isang tahanan ay mawawalan ng silbi
Wala na ang liwanag na dati’y namamasid
Puro dilim na ang sa ati’y nakapaligid.

Natatangi ang kanyang pagmamahal
‘Di tulad ng iba, ‘di nagtatagal
Kahit siya’y iyong ipagtabuyan
Mananatili pa rin ang nararamdaman

Sadyang ang ina ay isang uliran
Handang magpakasakit ng matagalan
Mga anak niya’y di kayang matiis
Sunod ang lahat ng ninanais.

* This is the poem I wrote for my mother when I was in high school as part of the Mothers’  Day celebration.

 

2009 UAAP Cheerdance Tickets Soldout!!!

UAAP will be having its Cheerdance Competition on September 13, 2009, Sunday, at Araneta Coliseum. I was able to watch it last year by meeting a student from FEU and   buying 5 General Admission tickets from him twice the price. Of course, I would love to watch the event this year. Japsy and I went to Ticketnet to check if there are still available tickets but they were already SOLDOUT!!!

I was not surprised at all. It always happens. The demand for tickets increases days before the event. Japsy’s brother from UST also informed us that there are no available tickets for us anymore.  Too sad but it’s okay.

While I was checking my blog entry on 2008 UAAP Cheerdance tickets, the comments caught my attention:

Here they go again…people taking advantage   of the others’ needs. They might be students or scalpers selling tickets twice or thrice the price. If you are that desperate, you would really grab their offer. It was 2007 when a scalper offered us some tickets for higher price but we didn’t buy it. Scalping is an illegal activity and we were able to witness that time when the police caught the scalpers in the vicinity of Araneta Coliseum.

If you are still looking for tickets, you’ll be lucky enough to find and buy some through website forums, meet students who are selling their extra tickets or negotiate with a scalper (this is not an advisable thing to do). There are also websites or blogs where bidding for tickets happens. Check out LJDiaz’s website:

I really enjoy watching the UAAP Cheerdance Competition inside the Araneta Coliseum because you will feel the excitement of the students  cheering for their   schools, and the eagerness of the teams to win. I don’t think I will be able to watch it this year because I still don’t have the tickets but I can watch the TV coverage in Studio 23.

Goodluck to all the schools!!!
