! WHAT A DORKY KID I WAS !
! WHAT A DORKY KID I WAS !
This weekend I hung out with Andre,
a friend who is helping me build my very own website. He is soooo
awesome! I can’t say enough about how great this guy is - so just go
visit him and say hi 
So anyway, while we were talking, out of nowhere, he asked me,
"Have you always been this cool?" I was like, yeah totally, I’ve always
been super popular! haha - yeaaaah riiiight!  I wish!
I admit it. I was probably the biggest dork of them all
when I was younger. No lie! My friends who go waaaaay back with me can
attest to this.
REALLY DORKY STUFF I DID
AND CANNOT EVEN EXPLAIN WHY:
 1.
On St. Patty’s day, we were required to wear an outfit that had green
on it. Well, I didn’t have anything remotely green on any of my
clothes, so I asked my mom to let me wear this bedtime shirt she had that went down to my knees, which I then paired with my dad’s jeans
that were way too big, but I managed to make stay up by scrunching it
up with a belt. When I went to school that day, this girl Heather in
our class looked at me with both incredulity and disgust saying,
"What the hell is wrong with you?!"
2. I read the dictionary religiously after school so that I would win our school spelling bees and I did! Yay! I’m still so proud 
3. I got a perm that I combed with a pick - haha!
4. Because I did not know how to make a sandwich, I used to put Vienna sausages in a hamburger bun. It tasted odd
5. In 6th grade, I went swimming in a public pool with my menstrual pad on and before I knew it, it was swimming alongside me. I learned my lesson after that!
So yeah, I don’t think I could have gotten any dorkier than
that. The sadder part to all this is I have so many more dorky stories
to tell!

wow! congrats on being featured! your blog is pretty interesting! your honey Matthew is really handsome! lucky girl! & Andre? what a great friend for wanting to make your website.
ahm, as to your question if long distance relationships work. i think it does for a certain amount of time. i know a friend who was separated from her bf for 7 yrs but they were “together” the whole time & after their long wait, they’re finally married. ive have a couple of long distance too before i got married & it worked but i think if two people are certainly in love, then they need to be together physically. besides, it’s way too hard to be away from each other!
as for dorky things, erick i are really big ones! we’re such dorks that we tried so hard to like an alcoholic drink, we tried all kinds but couldn’t like any!
anyway, you’re really pretty & seems like your personality is even prettier so keep it up girl!

When I was 6, I got so impressed by “marry poppins”, so I jumped out from the window on the 2nd floor with an umbrella opened. I almost broke my leg…

Daphne,
You are funny, intelligent and sexy! I am loving your style from here in Sydney.
I did dorky things as a kid and now I do dorky things as an adult! I love it.

Hmm…bellbottoms….on your head…with two holes cut out for eyes…with the rationale that it would be good protection from the sun?
Or what about keeping a prarie dog as a pet until it bit me. Rabies quarrantine…not fun.
Begging mom for “that old rug” so I could make furry snow boots (ie viking boots) …um …did I mention I live in Arizona?
Shooting arrows straight up in the air and trying to catch them. No….ducking is not an option.
…oh that reminds me…don’t put a dart on a string and twirl it around real…real…fast. At least not so close to your leg.
…and dont put a BB inside a baloon and then blow it up and hold it in your teeth and stretch the balloon out so the BB goes flying around inside the balloon because it’s going to hit your front tooth and …chip…it.
And please make sure that you tighten the bicycle seat EVERY time before making a jump. Please.
….wow. I was a bigger dork than I thought. Thanks for allowing me to take a huge hit to my self esteem. = )

i would like to give comments about your blog:filipino 101 but i couldnt get in so i decided to give my comments here,
hello!!
im a naturally born filipino and grew up in the philippines. i havent been to any countries. i really really like to enter usa or any european countries! damn youre so lucky to have entered many places and experienced a lot of struggle of being a filipino, im so proud i have given a chance to give a comment….i really appreciate my life now as a poor teenage filipino striving to learn english because i teach those fucking koreans who some of them discriminate us. sometimes i asked myself why english language exists, why filipino language is spoken only in philippines…i really find studying english so damn hard, sometimes i have to practice it by talking to myself (damn! am i crazy)and now i dont know if my grammar is correct(why am i giving comments? dun know!!) after reading all your blogs, it gave me enough reason to continue my adventure to americanize myself..thank you for your blog..mabuhay!!! i wanna be your kaibigan^^

You want dorky?
1. I have the worst sinus allergy problem. When I was in 5th grade, I was telling a joke to a couple of my friends and after the punch line, I laughed out loud, causing a huge snot bubble to inflate from my nose.
2. I wore glasses, braces and a headgear. Plus, I was one of the shortest kids in my class and often had grime stains on my shirt sleeves.
3. My favorite shirt in the 3rd grade was this hideous orange monstrosity that was covered with neon print, rhinestones and ribbons.
4. I would put on deodorant in the girls’ bathroom in 5th grade.
5. I dragged a stuffed dalmatian puppy on a leash around the house for weeks to get my mom to buy me a dog.
Ha! You think YOU were dorky? You ain’t got nuthin on me sista.

i used to be a dork when i was in grade school…
1. i used to sneak a volume of encyclopedia to bed when mom tucks us to sleep (was that right grammar?)
2. i used to keep a notebook where i jot down “information please?” entries
3. i memorized the greek alphabet — i got fascinated with it
4. of course it follows that i learned greek mythology by heart.
5. i’m the last kid to leave the library, together with the librarians (one of them’s our neighbor)
6. I enjoyed reading Time, Newseek and Asiaweek. (i really read their articles)
7. I kept track of the world currencies, esp. the philippine peso, as it slid down from 25 peso = one dollar to 50 peso = one dollar. I saw it fall deep in the abyss of bankruptcy
ooh… sorry for commenting…
