Tagged... The story behind.

What is your username?
For which internet site? Hahaha awright, let's stick to this blog. "dolphin1122". Dolphin coz I am crazy for those marine mammals and 1122 came from my initials, KV. K is the 11th letter of the alphabet and V is the 22nd. As for the url... well, purelykaye kind of says it all, doesn't it? :p hehehe 'purely' coz this is sort of all about me, isn't it? And Kaye, with an 'e' (since I now go without an 'e') because those who are close to me know the existence of that version of my nickname.

Write a little paragraph about your username, why you chose it, what it means to you, etc.
Well... I was too lazy to search out something meaningful and stuff. Also I wanted something that was easy to remember. I went through this whole phase where I did variations of usernames or email addresses that had 'dolphin' in them. As for 'purelykaye', well, read above.

Another reason why I like it?
I like it fine... I'm not totally crazy about it, but I like it fine :)

What would you change your name to, if you were changing it?
Something myth-ish. I did that with doc_galatea (an email address).

Why that?
To add myth hahahah I dunno. It just seems kind of cool and mysterious. And it's fun to choose a myth god/goddess that I feel symbolizes part of who I am.

What is your favorite username?
Hm... Favorite? I liked my aim username, which I was only able to use for a short while. It had "phoenix" in it, but I can't recall the exact name.

Why?
Coz it was my most mythical one I had.

Now, tag five other unfortunates whose usernames you would like to hear about.
Ina, Lee, Trish... uh... and others who read this wherein this post is applicable.

De-Stress... Again (not that I need it, not really)

For the Adults...

Your bedroom isn't cluttered. It's just "passage-restrictive."
Kids don't get grounded anymore. They merely hit "social speed bumps."
You're not having a bad hair day. You're suffering from "rebellious follicle syndrome."
No one's tall anymore. He's "vertically-enhanced."
You're not shy. You're "conversationally-selective."
You don't talk a lot. You're just "abundantly verbal."
It's not called gossip anymore. It's "the speedy transmission of near-factual information."

And for the Students...

The food at the school cafeteria isn't awful. It's "digestively-challenged."
No one fails a class anymore. He's merely "passing-impaired."
You don't have detention. You're just one of the "exit-delayed."
These days, a student isn't lazy. He's "energetically-declined."
Your locker isn't overflowing with junk. It's just "closure-prohibitive."
Your homework isn't missing. It's just having an "out-of-notebook experience."
You're not sleeping in class. You're "rationing consciousness."
You don't have smelly gym socks. You have "odor-retentive athletic footwear."
You're not late. You just have a "rescheduled arrival time."
You weren't passing notes in class. You were "participating in the discreet exchange of penned meditations."
You're not being sent to the principal's office. You're "going on a mandatory field trip to the administrative building."

Parent To Child

Hinding hindi ko makakalimutan ang mga mumunti ngunit gintuang butyl ng payo na nakuha ko sa aking mga magulang.
Kaya heto, aking ise-share sa inyo:

2. Natuto ako ng RELIGION kay itay... “Kapag yang mantsa di natanggal sa carpet, magdasal ka na!”
3. Kay inay ako natuto ng LOGIC... “Kaya ganyan ka, dahil sinabi ko.”
4. At kay inay pa rin ako natuto ng MORE LOGIC... “Kapag ikaw ay nalaglag diyan sa bubong, ako lang mag-isa ang manonood ng sine.”
5. Si inay din ang nagturo sa akin kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng IRONY... “Sige, ngumalngal ka pa at bibigyan talaga kita ng iiyakan mo!”

7. Si itay ang nagpaliwanag sa akin kung anong ibig sabihin ng STAMINA... “Wag kang tatayo diyan hangga't di mo natatapos yang lahat ng pagkain mo!”
8. At si inay ang nagturo sa amin kung ano ang WEATHER... “Lintek talaga kayo, ano ba itong kwarto nyong magkapatid, parang dinaanan ng bagyo!”
9. Ganito ang paliwanag sa akin ni inay tungkol sa CIRCLE OF LIFE... “Malandi kang bata ka, iniluwal kita sa mundong ito, maari rin kitang alisin sa mundong ito.”
10. Kay itay ako natuto kung anon ang BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION... “Tumigil ka nga diyan! Huwag kang mag-inarte na parang nanay mo!”
11. Si inay naman ang nagturo kung anong ibig sabihin ng GENETICS... “Nagmana ka nga talaga sa ama mong walanghiya!”
12. Si inay naman ang nagpaliwanag sa amin kung anong ibig sabihin ng ENVY... “ Maraming mga batang ulila sa magulang, di ba kayo nagpapasalamat at mayroon kayong magulang na tulad namin?”
13. Si itay naman ang nagturo sa akin ng ANTICIPATION... “Sige kang bata ka, hintayin mong makarating tayo sa bahay!”
14. At si itay pa rin ang nagturo kay kuya kung anong ibig sabihin ng RECEIVING... “Uupakan kita pagdating natin sa bahay!”
15. Si inay naman ang nagturo sa akin kung ano ang HUMOR... “Kapag naputol yang mga paa mo sa pinaglalaruan mong lawnmower, wag na wag kang tatakbo sa akin at lulumpuhin kita!”
16. At ang pinakamahalaga sa lahat, natutunan ko kina inay at itay kung ano ang JUSTICE... “Isang araw, magkakaroon ka rin ng anak, tiyak na magiging katulad mo at magiging pasakit din sa ulo!”
