Interesting...

I was reading up on possible topics for my student when I came across these rather witty quotations and adages:

HANLON'S RAZOR : Never assume malice when stupidity will suffice.

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe." -ALBERT EINSTEIN

KOLAKOWSKI'S LAW / LAW OF INFINITE CORNUCOPIA: For any given doctrine that one wants to believe, there is never a shortage of arguments by which to support it.

"Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped." - ELBERT HUBBARD

"I divide my officers into four classes; the clever, the lazy, the industrious, and the stupid. Each officer possesses at least two of these qualities. Those who are clever and industrious are fitted for the highest staff appointments. Use can be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy however is for the very highest command; he has the temperament and nerves to deal with all situations. But whoever is stupid and industrious is a menace and must be removed immediately!" - GENERAL KURT VON HAMMERSTEIN-EQUORD

STURGEON'S REVELATION: Ninety percent of everything is crud.

COROLLARY OF STURGEON'S LAW: Except crap. One hundred percent of crap is crap. -Sannon Wheeler

BENFORD'S LAW OF CONTROVERSY: Passion is inversely proportional to the amount of real information available. (note: OMO!!! YUNJAEEEEEE!!!!!)

HUTBER'S LAW: Improvement means deterioration.

DILBERT PRINCIPLE : The most ineffective workers are systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage: management.

GODWIN'S LAW : As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.

PETER PRINCIPLE: In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.

MEYER'S LAW : It is a simple task to make things complex, and a complex task to make them simple.

HERBLOCK'S LAW : If you like it, they will stop making it.

ORGEL'S SECOND RULE: Evolution is cleverer than you are.

PARKINSON'S LAW: Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.

RUSSEL'S LAW: It is impossible to distinguish a creationist from a parody of a creationist.

PITTENDREIGH'S LAW OF PLANETARY MOTION: "The perception of time passing more quickly has nothing to do with the fact of my own aging process. It's the fault of the Solar System! The Earth is simply moving around the sun faster every year."

Taken from List of adages named after people.

OKEH, for our YUNJAE post, here's something I've scoured over at DBSKnights. It's a fanaccount of the Bigeast Fanmeet. Summary by zerotrigeal at jaeho_yongwonhi.

XD
BIGYUNJAEEVENTS!!! OMG!!!XD is there any video of this fanmeet? Will there be one?? @_____@ Thanks for sharing it here... <33333
rough translation...

1st :
in a punishment game, CM and YC were acting like a children introducing themselves.
CM said he admired JS, while YC said his bestfriend was JS. When JS showed up, saying that the girl he liked was YH.
When YH prepared to be a girl and showed up, saying that (s)he XD had a 10 years older boyfriend, that's JJ.
JJ suddenly became very manly, walking towards YH, and they were hand in hand.
JJ put his hand on YH shoulder, told YH : "You are really cute~" YH laughed awkwardly... perhaps nervous.. XD

2nd :
the other punishment game. This time was JJ and YC. They got blowing ears punishment by the other members. When the time came, JJ asked : "Who's blowing whose? (ears)"
(The fans off the stage all screamed in unison : YH~~!)

Before JJ finished speaking, YH soon walked to JJ's left side and standing in position, while JS stood by JJ's right side. Seeing YH came to him, JJ was very nervous and shy.
JJ suddenly said : "This was not good huh.."
Seeing JJ was very nervous, YH intentionally said : "If you showed some feeling, it'll be very embarassed~ (laugh)"
Though JJ tried to refused shyly, eventually YH and JS were blowing his ears.
In the end, JJ blushed to the ears.
YH said : "Ah, turning red~~"

Then JS and CM blowed YC's ears the same way.
in the end YC said : " It felt really awful~... " (or something along the line)

Hehe. To see is to believe, though. But it's kinda cute lah.

YUNJAE Alert 2! This is from a radio interview they did recently. Posted at DBSKnights again. Credits to kaorin@3asian and DNBN, shared by fangirlmitz.

MC: This is the afternoon broadcast, where we always feature great artists. Today we have Tohoshinki as our guests. Hello everyone!
All: Hello everyone, we are THSK.
MC: Firstly, can everyone introduce themselves? -Beams-
YC: Thank you, Junsu.
JS: Long time no see, I'm Junsu.
YC: I'm Yoochun, who's beside Junsu.
JJ: I'm Yunho...
YH: ...
CM: Jaejoong, Jaejoong.
JJ: Keke, I'm Jaejoong.
YH: This is Yunho.
CM: I'm Changmin, please take care of us.

Cute Jaejoong. ^^ Changmin's reaction...PRICELESS.

And last but not the least, picture!!! From the March issue of Ray Magazine. Posted at ALLKPOP.com, credits to xietinloveshero.blogspot.com. Caption imagined by me.


JAEJOONG: Changmin, open your mouth.
CHANGMIN: Shouldn't it be Daddy Yunho first?
YUNHO: Jaejoong, I want some tooo...

New celly

Dahil nakakafrustrate ang 'butterfly' na cellphone (those who have seen the current state of my foremerly cool Nokia know what I'm talking about), bumili na ako ng bagong celly last Monday, Jan 19. And just for the hang of it, I decided to try LG KU380. OK naman siya, slider, madali gamitin, tama lang features, medyo mura. Wanted Samsung, kaso naisip ko na kung hindi Anycall Haptic yung bibilhin ko, wag na lang. Kekeke.

First phone I bought with my money. Kinustomize ko na siya para matuwa ako lalo. Check out the YunJae wallie!! Ringtone ko Wrong Number (You got the wrong number so don't call me no more), message tone ko ay Mirotic (I got you~~~UNDER MY SKIN), start up tone ko ay Hahaha (a fah fo thre foh!), shut down tone ko ay hahaha pa rin (Ha haha haha). Ye beybe!

Ayoko ng clutter.

Sa bahay ko lang ina-allow ang kalat at kung anik-anik.

AYOKO NG CLUTTER.

[YUNJAE ALERT] Arena January 2009 issue

I am going to start posting whatever YunJae I find in other websites. With credits of course.

This is from the Arena Jan09 interview with Tohoshinki/DBSK.

---And there’s another song [Please don’t forget], written and composed by Jajeoong.
JJ: I composed the melody first and filled in the lyrics later. The lyrics are about things that happen in one’s everyday life. Also, I wrote the lyrics from a male’s point of view.

--- Did you write it first in Korean, and then change it to Japanese?
JJ: No, I wrote the lyrics in Japanese from the very beginning. I only changed the more complicated words later.
YC: Yoochun wrote his in Japanese from the start too.

---- I see. That’s amazing. [Please don’t forget] is a song that’s very Jaejoong-like.
YC: Really! I think it’s very ‘Jaejoong-like’ too.
JJ: Ah, though I’ve often been told that it’s a ‘Jaejoong-style song’, but I don’t really know what my style is either.
YC: There are 2 kinds of Jaejoong – Jaejoong in Japan and Jaejoong in Korea. This song is Jaejoong in Japan’s image.
JJ: So, how am I like in Korea?
YC: Hardcore
All: *burst out laughing*

--- And in Japan?
YC: In Japan he gives off a lonely feeling
JS: He carries loneliness with him
YC: He’s like black coffee. It’s a song that will make you want to cry.
YH: When I first hear the song, I thought the lyrics were about me. I thought the feelings of person in the lyrics were like mine. Therefore, I could empathize with the song.
JS: I was it was really Jaejoong-like. I seemed to feel good.

Haha, Yunho thought Jaejoong's song was about him!! Actually, in my YunJae state of mind, I also imagine that. Maybe it's why not much YunJae recently?

Also, Yoochun's description of Jaejoong in Korea---HARDCORE!!! XD XD XD XD XD And WTH black coffee???? Does it make you cry? Omo, it makes me cry because I don't like coffee.

Bijoke tayo!

Yo, American Idol na! Hmmm...wonder if it'll be worth watching/wasting tulog time on.

Mayroon bang navi-videoke mag-isa dito? Ang saya.

Anthromates! Nakita ko Tiada Lagi sa videoke! Kailangan Kumyoung yung system. Ito yung number:20083. Hehehe. Napapakinabangan ang abilidad magbasa ng Korean. ehehehehehehehehe. Kung may papahanap kayo sa aking kantang Korean or Japanese (basta sa Kumyoung videoke system), sabihin niyo lang, bibigay ko sa inyo yung number.

UWI NA FROM CEBU LAH

Me sa Mactan Airport departure area. Pauwi na. Walang panahong maligo or magpalit ng damit. Inattempt ko pumunta ng Cebu City after my interviews around 5pm, but I only got as far as Mandaue kasi magsi-six na. Joskolord. Sayang hindi ko natagpuan ang CPILS. Pero in fairness, sikat talaga siya, tinanong ko siya sa taxi driver sa airport this morning at alam niya yun. Oh well. Lagas na ang pera ko.

At ang baterya. Babooshki and see ya in Manila, yo!

CEBU CEBU CEBU IMPROMPTU TRIP!!!!!!

Location: Tambuli East Beach Club. Date: January 11, 2008.

Ay grabe. First time ko flying alone, on PAL, sa Cebu. One-day trip lang ito, as in dating ko kaninang 9, tapos fly back to Manila ng 8pm. Sayang. Syempre work work work pa rin. O ito pic ko habang nagtatayp.




Pucha, na-video ako ng megamax ng ganyan hitsura ko. >.<

I'm with the people from UPMSI and Howard Hughes. Nagwo-workshop sila, at ako...tambay-slash-trabaho for the Marine Ethnoculinary Project. Nakakahiya, navideo ako tapos mukha akong tanga. Ang dami ko pang mali. Kinorek ako ni Sir Perry (na ninong ni Ma'm Mangahas sa kasal hehe at ka-org ni Sir Kiko sa MBS.) sa paggamit ko ng shellfish (crustaceans) dahil shells pala yun (mollusks). >.< Nadocument po yun. NG!!!!!!!

Speaking of NG, hahaha, may mga nakatutuwang pangyayari kanina habang iniinterview ko yung head chef nila before magluto.

1

CHACHI: So, ano po yung tawag sa lulutuin natin ngayon?

CHEF BRENDO: Ginataang...(*isip ng Cebuano term*)shell.

VIDEO CREW: *tawa*

2

CHACHI: Ano po sa Cebuano ang clam?

CHEF: *isip* Klam...eh.

VIDEO CREW: *tawa*

Award ang video crew nila! They're from Sugarmountain Media at mga beterano ng AP at NBC. Shet. It was cool hanging out with them over lunch. Mga nice at maloko.

Haaaay...whirlwind ito. Dumating ako kaninang 9am, flight ko mamayang 8pm. Syet.

At OMG, may kakaibang nangyari sa amin kanina while I was in the taxi to NAIA. Nasa tulay kami along Aurora Blvd. Pasay tapos may motorcycle accident! As in wala pang rumeresponde. Nasa left side namin yung motorcyle na nakahambalang sa daan, tapos nasa right side ay may isang crumpled mass na suspiciously like a tao!!!!! OMO!!! Shocked ako, as in frozen for a few seconds, but our taxi went past lang. Tinry kong tumawag sa 117 from the taxi, subalit, wow, nagloloko na naman ang cellphone ko at black screen na naman siya. >.< Akala ng driver damit lang yung nakabalumbon dun sa daan, ako naman convinced na tao yun. Pagkadating ko ng airport, tumawag ako uli sa 117, tapos buhay na phone ko. Nireport ko na yung incident.

Ang dami nga palang Koreans dito. Kanina may nagpapatugtog ng Nobody ng Wondergirls. Yan tuloy LSS ko. This is so far from Cebu City, sayang dadaan sana ako ng CPILS. Kekeke.

Nakakainis lang naoverprice ako sa taxi. Kingina yan. Take note, sariling gastos ko ito. Nuff said.

Kumain ako ng Nasi Goreng for breakfast, pero hindi lasang nasi goreng ng Sabah yung Nasi goreng nila. But not bad.

Mamaya, iinterview ako ng cook dito tapos market trip. Tapos diretso na uwi.Susubukan ko magluto ng mga niluto kanina. Haaaay....

May nanonood sa akin as I type, kamukha siya ni David Archuleta. Tapos may isang waiter kamukha siya ni Park Hyo Shin nung mga Nun Ui Kkot days niya (pangit pa siya nun, super hot papa na siya ngayon in comparison). Kala ko may makakasakay akong Dong Bang Shin Ki, kasi mayroong isang guy sa NAIA sa kadamit ni Jaejoong *heartheart*, subalit American siya pagharap. *sigh* And I'm 100% sure na American yun kasi they were having a conversation about growing up there and all.

Field journal na ba ito?????

Sige out muna ako. Work work work.

PE(S)T NAMES

Kami lang ata ang household sa balat ng saging na nagbibigay ng pangalan sa mga "kasama" sa bahay.

Para sa butiki, VITAMIN (pron. bee-tah-MIN). Napulot ko lang to sa isang YAOI porn (redundant.....) manga. It stuck.

Para sa daga, SCABBERS. Ang hindi maka-gets, ang tibay mo dahil di ka pa nagbabasa ng kahit isang Harry Potter book. Mag-usap tayo.

Para sa ipis, PAPA ROACH. Duh.

Yan pa lang yung nagagawan namin ng names.
