about the Presidential Elections

I remembered something we talked about in English class. I think English is okay but the teacher doesn’t seem to be teaching English. I mean, she can barely pronounce the words right. That’s why sometimes, we get mistakes at spelling and we don’t get extra points! What am I talking about? For example. She pronounces the word “accept”, “agzept”. Nice.

Anyway, we were talking about the Presidential Elections, my English teacher’s fave topic. And she asked us if we would like the President to be a girl or a boy. We got seperated into groups to share our opinions. Most of my classmates answered, “A boy, because girls can’t handle the country’s problems.”

What’s their problem? Don’t they believe in the equality of sexes? And who cares if the president is a girl or a boy? I’m a girl (a kid, at that) and I can handle it. And the 1986 President, Corazon Aquino who is a girl was able to fix our country from the president before her, who was a dictator. Besides, I read that a shrink once said that a female’s intelligence is higher than a male’s. So how’s that for smart?

My classmates get me real annoyed sometimes. It’s bad enough men think we girls are sissies. But girls think of themselves as sissies? What a thought.

I should go to a school where girls think they rule this !@#? world.

“Girls rule the world. And girls aren’t sissies.” Say that 10 times. You will believe it, girls. Boys, say that too.

Enough about that. Now here are some thoughts some people wouldn’t stop to think twice.

Why is it that they use the expression, “it’s a dog’s life” to mean life is hard? A dog’s life isn’t hard. First of all, they don’t go to school. They don’t have to date. Dogs don’t get jailed. Dogs don’t get prejudiced. Dogs don’t get murdered. And so on and so forth. If they need a new expression to describe life, they should say, “it’s a human’s life.”

Ever heard of black holes? Well, they said that it’s some kind of hole in outer space where you get sucked in and you fall in there forever. They also say that several rocketships or whateverie that disappeared must’ve been sucked in a black hole. Well, what I can say, black holes aren’t only found in the universe. There’s the washing machine for instance. Sometimes stuff get sucked in, but they never come out. Then there’s the toilet bowl. When you flush it, the whateverie you flushed will never come up. What would you do if you had your own black hole? That would be a thought. If I had a black hole, hmm…I could put in the roaches that roam around our house, my fifth grade English teacher, my fifth grade class…say, having a your own black hole ain’t so bad after all. You could put anything in there. Maybe even Angel. Hehehe…

This is an adult inviting a friend to his/her house: “Hello? Are you free today? Good..would you like to stop over my house for a cup of coffee? Okay…what time? Okay….so, what you do is take the road there, it’s the shortest way to my house but wait, sometimes it gets horrible traffic jams and you don’t want to waste your precious time, do you dear? Why don’t you just use the road intersecting there but then again, that’ll take you twice as longer to get to my house, except that barely any cars pass there. What? You’ll just figure it out yourself? Okay…if you get to any trouble, ask a policeman. Or call me up in your cellular phone. I’ll be expecting you. Bye.”
