Thank yea

Just came from a seven-day break. Sarap.


Just checked the CRS site.

YOU ARE KEWL, SIR REUEL. Kinabahan ako because at first he was quite against me pursuing a full-length film about a superhero. Did not expect this!

This inspires me to work even harder.

TAKE MP 179 if you can!


I lost my phone. Which is OK. I'm free from another unnecessary piece of tech!


CRS, you are kewl too. Thanks for giving me all my subjects.


Will eat lunch, then will pack for another three-day break. Yahoo.

Dear Website

You kewl, CRS, you gave me three majors and a Spanish class.

But, for the nth time, you have failed to give me a Math class.

I guess I have to thank you though, because this means I'm taking a Landscape Architecture class!

Should I exchange my Comparative Lit under the J. Neil Garcia with a Film class under the Nick Tiongson, who's teaching for the last time next sem? OR Tilman Baumgartel's Hong Kong Cinema class? OR Yason Banal's British Cinema? Or Eyasmin Lantz' Fine Arts studio claSS? The paaaiinn of choosing

While answering the peer evaluation sheet for our final production

Paolo: Ano binigay mo kay Eddy (our Korean classmate)?
James: UNO.
Paolo: Ano? Bakit??
Marian: Huy, for a Korean a, ok si Eddy.

Preaks

Been months since I last checked our Superfreaks website. The six of us built it during the summer after our first year in high school. I was laughin so hard reading the pages minutes ago. The site's a compilation of memories that the six of us can all go back to in the future. I just finished reading the FAQ page, and I couldn't help but shed a tear. Joke lang.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Got a question for the Superfreaks? Send it to superfreakshome@yahoo.com and they just might appear here with your name! But before you ask it, you might find
the answer you're looking for right here!

Let's start with the question we get most...

"I have gum stuck in a shag carpet, is there any way to get it out?"
A surefire way to remove gum from a shag carpet is to simply cut a huge circle out of the rug. Make sure the part you cut out has the offending gum stuck in it. Place a sofa or large chair over the cut out piece. You can cover smaller holes with Superfreaks stickers, or anything under our merchandise products. Just be sure that we will profit from it!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"In the first Mission: Impossible could you guys figure out WHAT was going on?"
No.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Can I buy Superfreaks stuff from you guys?"
All Superfreaks books, toys and games and other products are licensed merchandise. This means that outside companies pay us a pathetically small fee to use the Superfreaks name, the Superfreaks logo and other Superfreaks likenesses. Superfreaks products are not manufactured, warehoused or shipped from our homes. (Which is too bad, because we'd love to get our grimy hands on free samples to give as holiday or birthday gifts!) But if you'd like to see the latest Superfreaks merchandise so you can pester your local retailer into stocking it, click here.
Just kidding.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Does Superfreaks buy freelance material like Chapter contributions or writeups?"
So, you want to make big bucks and earn the respect and admiration of your friends, family and neighbors, eh? Then go to medical school and do something with your life! But if you'd like to waste your time and effort and become a member of The Usual Gang of Idiots, then, yes, you may want to
try contributing. But before you dash off your brilliant ideas, make sure you know what you're doing! Or, if you're an artist, be sure it's US that you're drawing!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If I come to the Superfreaks office, will I be able to meet the Superfreaks?"
Before you make a special trip to the Superfreaks office, we should tell you that it's rare for any of the artists or writers to be here at the office. Almost all of them work at their own studios, and although occasionally one of them drops by to mooch a free lunch,they mostly send their work via email. (Truthfully, that's how we keep our expenses down. By keeping them off premises, we don't have to worry about them stealing office supplies, making long distance phone calls or dropping water balloons out of the window!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If the Superfreaks aren't there, who IS?"
Oompa Loompas. However, if you want to be able to say "I visited the Superfreaks offices," come on by. (If you're bringing sweets, please visit on a Saturday. That's usually the day where all of us are in and we'll autograph just about anything in exchange for homemade baked goods!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What's a typical day at the Superfreaks like?"
It's, like, eight hours, minus an hour for lunch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"No, I mean, is it wild and wacky, with people wearing funny hats, and having food fights, and doing all sorts of crazy, weird things?"
No, you're thinking of our brother website, CNN.com.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Is there a Superfreaks summer intern program?"
There is an excellent intern program here at Superfreaks. For college credit, a student can learn how to paint Jay-Ar's room, how to shampoo a conference room rug and even how to go for coffee.Sometimes they may even be asked to pick up a croissant, which gives the intern program an international feel.
For more information on these exciting career opportunities, just email us!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Okay, I'm on the website, but now I'm having trouble with my browser,
what should I do?"

Complain out loud. If that doesn't work, try bitching and moaning out loud. If all else fails you can...
1) Call Greg, and explain your problem in a cool, calm voice
(If you hear snoring on the other end of the line, call again and try to find someone else who's awake.)

2) Send a cool, calm email to superfreakshome@yahoo.com


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why did you pick the name 'Superfreaks' What does it stand for?"
It's the acronym for the Superfreaks motto: "Stupidity Is Timeless."Duh!

Cheese na naman

This sem's real tough, and I'm glad am close to finishing all the requirements.

What's left

- Four papers, OO APAT! for MP 115 due tomorrow (I haven't done anything which means I'll do everything one hour before the deadline just like what I did to the three, OO TATLO papers for PSYCH 101 ('Di na pala 'ko INC sa PSYCH, Prof. Van Heugten was real nice and gave me a day to complete the experiment)

- Final prod for BC 100. We recorded our production in the studio yesterday and kanina, and man, we had fun. Even Eddy, our Korean classmate, couldn't help but laugh. What's left is digital editing for the audio para swabe ang tunog.

Ako: Kuya A (BC Dept's all-around audio guy), bakit kailangan digital editing?
Kuya A: A siyempre, para swabe. Swabe ang tunog.

And scrapbook pa pala, which the girls are taking care of.


In true sabog fashion, I finalized my online enlistment last night, 30 minutes before the cut-off. Apart from the majors, I got Comparative Lit 123 (Post-Colonial Non-Western Lit Theory) and CL 151 (Phil Lit II - 40s to Present) under J. Neil Garcia AKA You're My Idol, I Wish I Could Be Half As Smart As You Are. In the end, I'll probably just take one of the two, pero para lang makasigurado. I don't care if he gives low grades, he's my idol and I wish I could be bla bla


ROTC Final Training Day last weekend. We were literally prisoners of war the whole time. After midnight, they started blindfolding and tying us. Exciting! They released us at Sunken Garden around three in the morning, and we had to rescue each other, and reach the finish point before the sun rose.

Ako: Naku, naiilawan tayo dito. Baka makita tayo ng officer!
Batch Commander MARIO: Concealment! Mag-concealment tayo!

'Di ko alam kung bakit, pero tawa 'ko nang tawa after he said that.

We ended up diving into dirty ponds, crawling on mud; bruises, allergy attacks, and ants & insects crawling all over us.

BUT, it was awesome.


Tomorrow, we shoot footage for someone's birthday.

Next week, I start shooting my film. AT LAST

Span-ish

I have no time to nerd.

Which is sad, because suddenly the load that I had last week (see last post) has been doubled in just two days!

I'm officially INC in Psych, which I find funny. I did well in all the 10 exams, and in the two online experiments. But, because I got sick and there were no classes last Thursday and Friday, I lack an hour of experiment credit. Yeah, just one hour. That's 1.5% of the total requirements in the course. And I get a final grade of INC.

MP 115 is killing me, because Sir Vim and his fun, spontaneous self suddenly decided to go to Thailand without telling us. He'll be back on October 11—which means we'd have to actually do our finals stuff WITHOUT HIM. According to my classmates, we'd be doing our workshops online. Some found this very hip, and very now, but I just find it real annoying. A lot of people have been telling us that every student of Sir Vim gets an INC grade, and now I'm convinced.

The Fine Arts G.E. art production is the only class that's keeping me sane these days, making masks and painting stuff.


In other news, life is great, really, if I don't think about school.

Last night we celebrated an important event, and dahil bunso ako, I ate and drank the most. And medyo nasobrahan yata. I had to sleep there for the very first time, which was fine, because I didn't have to wake up and drive there (or magpadrive) at five in the morning like I do everyday.

A lot of things are changing, and I couldn't be more happier to embrace this new life.

I just enlisted my classes online, and I got two Spanish classes. Which means Spanish everyday.

Tonight I sleep early, tomorrow there's ROTC physicals before the sun rises. ACK!

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
