Please Define Weirdo
Weirdo
1. A person who is considered strange to other people. This person may do strange things, so this person can be considered a "weirdo".
2. A non-comformist who does not follow trends or a subculture. A true 'weirdo' will juat do what they feel, and can get along with most people. This person does not actually conform to a stereotype and shouldn't be labled.
Am I that weird that my peers always tell me that I'm such kind of person? They've been saying that sometimes my thoughts are kind of out of this world, my actions are quite strange, my tastes are... oh, I don't know. Honestly, I do not know which part of me is weird. And I haven't asked them why on earth are they calling me a weirdo. Actually, I've tried to ask someone in our barkada before, but that person didn't give me an answer at all (maybe, she was just too shy to slap reality onto my face. lol) I know nothing's wrong with me. I look like any ordinary student who is deprived of sleep. I'm a bookish person but I know how to interact with people well(even to strangers). I cram like almost everyday. I'm hating someone in class, and I'm starting to fall for someone in class, also. See, I'm just normal like you.
I'm not offended. I'm just irritated. nakakaurat kaya yung sabihan ka everyday na 'weird,' 'weirdo.' But, at least, mga barkada/friends ko lang ang nagsasabi sa akin nun. They know me. Sila lagi kong kasama. They are the ones who have seen most of my epic failures kaya hndi na nga ako papalag, eh. haha...
Friday the 13th
Got this from Yahoo!.
Here are some very interesting facts about the "somewhat celebrated" day:
- * The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia, also known as friggatriskaidekaphobia. Those with this phobia often avoid their usual routines and fear anything to do with traveling on this day; some even skip getting out of bed on this day.
- * The exact origins of the phobia are unknown, but some credit Norse mythology for the fear. According to the legend, 12 gods were at a banquet when an uninvited demi god of mischief appeared, bringing the total number of gods to 13. His arrival brought about chaos which led to the death of another god, and the rest of the gods went into mourning.
- * Ancient Egypt considered Friday the 13th lucky, while Greece and Spanish-speaking countries consider Tuesday the 13th as unlucky. Thus, when the horror film “Friday the 13th” was released in these countries, it was renamed “Martes 13” (Tuesday the 13th). Many buildings arou
- * The Bible makes reference to the number 12, such as the 12 Apostles of Jesus and the 12 tribes of Israel. From this reference, many Christians believe that the number 13 represents incompleteness.
- * And the world do not have a 13th floor (alternately given the 14th floor tag) because of the fear of the number 13. Some hospitals, hotel rooms, apartments and condominiums do not have a room number 13 and some airports do not have a Gate 13.
- * The singer Taylor Swift has repeatedly said in interviews that her lucky number is 13. She was born December 13, 1989 (which incidentally did not fall on a Friday but on a Wednesday).
- * 2012 has three Friday the 13ths which fall on January, April and July. on January, April and July.
