nerd and rocki'n!

"nerd man ka boi" ("boi" is what my friends call me...it actually refers to "baboy"...as in pig). but to tell you, im cool with them calling me baboi...i take it as their lambing to me, that's why. it was the "NERD"!?! im not cool about...'coz that is so not me! really! ...or so i thought.

well, the above remark from a friend was where it all began...

after i heard that, i cant seem to keep myself from thinking of the reasons behind such a remark...and i can't just accept stuff like that so easily. i mean, who could?

so to satisfy my curiousity, i asked my mom: "ma, nerd daw ko..?" Her face turned into a grin and she guiltily replied: "...uhm..tagsahay". i could not believe it! my mother actualy thinks im a nerd! the tagsahay was only said to make things look a little better! this is impossible.

really bothered now, i turned to my brother for some reasurance...and he gave me just that. for when i asked him the very same question that's been buggi'n me, the answer i got was: " sa imoha man nang bag,dess". (translated, its a big YES.) but i must admit, my bro got me thinki'n...maybe he's right. it might be because of that big-tote-bag-that-has-everything-in-it i so often use wherever i go. but one can't possibly look nerd because of some huge bag, right? the reason behind that remark i got must be more than just a big tote...it has to be.

and so i thought....

...could it be because of the way talk? ...well yeah, i sometimes talk about things from here and there and my jokes are sometimes lame...but we all get that don't we? its a "normal" thingeee. i mean, i don't even take matters in a conversation "in a molecular level of understanding", as what our chem teacher very often tell us...that's why i cannot be what they say i am...a nerd.

...could it be because of the way i act? ...now this is something i cannot deny: yes,i get a little jerky sometimes (duh...its called reflex), had countless of ooops moments (hey, stuffs like these make good anecdotes), and i walk a little faster than most people (what can i do, i have deadlines to meet).

...or could it be because of the way i look? ...'coz i'm someone who's petite and long haired and with braces...that i wear flats rather than stilettos? or that i don't wear perfumes like a skunk 'coz my nose gets irritated if i do...

but people can't be that judgemental, can they?

sure there are a lot more in a person than meets the eye. what the he__ is freaki'n wrong with being a nerd...? coz know what? after all the deep thinking i've done, i just can't bring myself to think less of who i am. yes, mishaps are daily occurences in my life, but the learning behind them and the juvenile fun that goes with 'em bring genuine joy to my living...and even if i am the plane-white-shirt and denim-clad kinda girl (...with a big tote bag who walks like apocalypse is coming), i love being me! call me nerd, but im rocki'n this life!

'know what i did after dinner?

...i pulled a fish bone off my throat! yes, litterally!
yuckeee? nahh... after two dreadful semesters of Vertebrate Anatomy, things like this is more of an achievement for me...hehe
