Weird Watermelons

Ah, my first weird post! After days and days of posting mundane posts, I can finally move on to the weird. Better not waste any time.And to make this paragraph longer, I will now commence putting a very long smiley face. :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

That's better. Now moving on. Read the title. Yes, you heard me. Now, some of you may be thinking, "Ah, yes,I've heard about those." and the others " What in the name of Pete is that?" And now I'm thinking "Who IS Pete?" But never mind that. We shall now start talking about the one and only.....Weird Watermelon!!!!


Shoppers in Japan were amazed and amused at the watermelons that some stands sell. It was normal, except for the fact that they were SQUARE. Why did they create this? Many people have a hard time stacking them, keeping them in refrigerators,and cutting them because they kept rolling around. But a farmer from the south-western island of Shikoku solved the problem. He thought of growing cuboid-shaped watermelons.


The plan was simple:Grow the melons in box shaped glasses. Then,the fruit will naturally assume the shape of the glass.And, voila! Square Watermelons!! But that's not all. There are now heart shaped watermelons ,pyramid shaped melons, and even melons with faces!


I would love to buy one of those, but considering the place where it can be bought and the price ( 10,000 yen, equivalent to about $83), it will be maybe 8-10 years before I can buy those. But I hope that someday, I can buy and taste it. (Probably tastes like any other watermelon.)

Here are examples:

Hair Today,Gone Tommorow!

I just got a haircut. And I don't know whether to like it or loathe it. It was bangs on the front,and a barber's cut on the back.I hate the bangs part, but I like my back hair. Maybe I can convince my mom to get me a pixie cut. Anyways, let's start talking about my hair,not my new haircut.

When I was a kid, I had almost waist length hair. I never really knew how to manage it,but it always stayed smooth and shiny. I only combed my hair when needed,and the only hairstyles I know was a clip,a headband, and a ponytail. I always told my mom I wanted it shorter but my mom said it would be a waste.So my haircut was all bangs,layers,v-shaped,etc.But before the first day of school in grade 6, my mom gave my sister and I a haircut,both a bob. So my hair turned shoulder length.What I didn't know that was my hair grows fast.So in a month or two, my hair was halfway towards my waist.

After that,my older sister had a haircut,like the the one I wanted. My sister also has long hair,and it might be hard to let go.It was a pixie.Now, I was more determined to get that haircut more than ever. I bugged my mom even more to get me that cut.

Miracles do happen. Months of badgering,pleading,and begging finally paid off. Before Christmas Party and the exam,my mom took me to the barbers to transform my hair,pixie style.At exams,I wore a shirt with a hood,as not to surprise my classmates.But they were suspicious, coz they kept asking me"What happened to your hair?" In the end, I showed them.Yep,the reactions I got  were as expected.Many were shocked, many asked "Why did you cut your hair?", many kept saying it was a waste.My mom later had it cut again, now with side bangs and barber's cut hair.

Many people mistaken me for a boy,because I usually use a t-shirt and pants,some even accidentally called me "Boy"! My mom also tells me to make it long again. Many people can't imagine me with long hair.But I'm keeping it.And if anyone asks me why, it's easier to manage and I don't have to sport a ponytail all the time. And I love it.

My hair: BEFORE

My Current Hair!(Pretty cool!)

SONA: My Say

July 23,2012,Monday.

President Benigno Aquino III delivered his 3rd State of the Nation Address at the Batasan Pambansa starting at about 4:00 pm.

We watched the SONA in NCSHS since it was Monday.I nearly fell asleep but managed to hold it off(okay, so maybe I slept a little).But let me talk about the SONA.

It was very long,starting at 4:00 pm and I think it ended at about 6:00 pm.I read that it was the longest SONA ever.I didn't finish it but I read the rest of it on the internet.He spoke fluently and his powerful voice echoed through the building as he spoke of his accomplishments and goals while people rallied outside saying the opposite.He talked about projects,the economy,and the current state of the country.Senators and other officials attended the SONA.

I think that some of his accomplishments stated in the SONA is misleading. WHY IS THAT you ask? Well,flip the TV on and you can see that the crime rate has not increased nor has it decreased and many other things like that. It's like the accomplishments was ineffectual. Some of it did little to help our country.

I am not saying I am against the SONA.I am just saying that we should make goals or plans that can really help the Philippines and we should make it really work and make it effective.I was very impressed though at how he delivers his speech and how he can talk straight for an hour and a half.I hope that the goals he mentioned will be fulfilled and be done soon.

President Noynoy is a good president.He is just doing his job,a job that is not easy at any rate, and that is helping the Philippines grow and be a better place.

Every Afternoon....

As I groggily walk out of our classroom and onto the school gate,I do the first thing on my mind.Look for the service.If it is not there yet,I will dump my stuff at the waiting shed and go buy a few snacks.But if I spot that metallic blue-greenish colored van,I immediately run to it and find ate Paula and Mr. Cuarteros sitting on the front seat of the van.

My should-be bromidic afternoon is always replaced with happiness and fun once my service mates have arrived.We often joke around, take a walk,buy some food,stuff like that while waiting for our other service mates.They are my constant companions.They cheer me up when I am bored.They are like my older brothers and sisters in the school.

When I heard that I was going to have a service,I thought "Groan. This is gonna be awkward."But soon I got used to it,and I realized it's better than commuting,besides the fact that I have to wait until 7 because some of my service mates have lyre practice.


So,are you thinking of not getting a service? Try it!It might be helpful in many ways than one.

Boredom Strikes again!!!

Boredom.The state of being bored.It is one of people's greatest enemies.Frankly,you can't avoid boredom.Well,you can,but what I mean is that no matter what you do you'll always end up being bored.That's my current state. Like a video game,trying to evade boredom,yet failing badly.

But why does this have to happen when I have lots of time to waste....er,spend? But when I have lots of things to do,the possibilities are endless!The internet has lots to offer, especially.This always happens to me,I think even everyday!

I was supposed to tell you about me and my situation now,but ended up writing an instant article about boredom!And to think that I made a post about boredom because I am bored.

My expression when dying of boredom.

My head is screaming:

Yep,that's me!

A Mundane yet Special Day

I know what you're thinking. "How can a day be special when it is mundane?"Well,I'll tell you. That is what the  post is for.(You probably know that already)

Well,today is the Intramurals of NCSHS,as stated in yesterday's post.As I told you also,I have no games or sport to play. So I was just sitting on my chair,playing and reading on my phone.I also ate,breathed,and walked.I almost made it halfway to Naga City Civic with some of my classmates,but we started talking about some stuff,and turned back.That was probably the only exercise I did today.

But today is my first intrams in NCSHS,and also in my High School life.WELL,I did expect it to be more...active.You know,me all tired and dripping with sweat,trying to win,stuff like that.But as  people say,Never give up.There's always another chance. Next year,I will make it the most memorable thing I have done!(Am I too being too dramatic?)

Intramurals in NCSHS: Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the intrams of Naga City Science High School.No,I'm not nervous,and I'm not confident either. I'm just gonna be a bystander,cheering and yelling as my batchmates play against the higher levels.

Badminton has always been my sport,coz' I'm too short for basketball,too weak at volleyball and too inexperienced at scrabble and chess. Meh,it dosen't matter anyway. During the cerberus cup,I didn't play any sport at all. I was practically doing nothing at that time.Even today,at practice,I did nothing but sit, read,walk,and eat.

But,hey,we're supposed to have fun during intrams,right? So I will have fun tomorrow.I will support my batch mates.My cheering and yelling might help them win, And next time,I will do my best to get in the team. 

Good Luck tomorrow,Cerberus!!! :)
