This story is about why I say "ciao", when leaving or parting away. It involves someone who is always sad. But just by saying "ciao", it brighten her day. I do not like to see innocent people sad. She always laughed when I said "ciao". Except when all of them discovered it was my last day in assingment. It also involves the dogs named Chow Chow and the dog food Puppy Chow. Ciao.

My friends are rare polymaths.
Posted Date: Feb 3 - 4:39 PM
One of the strangest things that me and my friends have in common, is that we all believe strongly in being polymaths. I like polymaths. But my family and sisters kinda dissapoint me. Except for the baby, the DUCK. She understands the benefits, and consenquences of being a polymath. But back to the friends, its just a little strange the things we have in common, and how we all met. Sometimes we wonder how much more polymaths are out there, just waiting to be discovered. At the moment, I consider my Duck a philomath. She is still is learning and has much to experienced. But supposedly, we heard of someone, claiming himself a pantomath. Which for us (friends) is absurd. We only consider pantomath when a group of polymaths get together. I doubt I will ever reach pantomath status. I am ok with philomath, thank you very much. Ciao-Ciao.

XUXAMANIA.
Posted Date: Feb 3 - 4:23 PM
I cannot remember when it started, but since childhood, I always liked the philosophy of the POLYMATHS. Since then, I decicated myself and my younger siblings to practive polymath. When I was in elementary, one of my favorite books was POLYMATH by John Brunner. But my fascination came with this type of thinking around the start of 2nd or 3rd grade. I discovered about the book polymath around the 5th or 6th grade. That book is hard to find. Anywho, its about a guy who is knowledge in many different areas. He happens to be in a spaceship crew that crashlands in an unknown planet. So the the others look unto him for survival and guidance. But he has a secret. I won't say more. Its an OK book. Better than ok. I don't want to ruin the surprise. So I began to learn stuff out of school. So one day, I noticed the animals have there normal names (ex. Wolf - Canis Lupus) and the scientific one. Began studying some greek....wait a sec. Soooo.. to cut to the chase, XUXA means duck in Greek. I just happened to study a little bit of greek, since we get some of our words from them. Its helpful when taking test. So thats why I put XUXAMANIA for this month's profile name. Ciao.

Animal Names?
Posted Date: Feb 3 - 4:13 PM
In our family, we each have an animal nickname for each other. I am called the WOLF. Guess which type of dogs I own. My brother, the BEAR. Think BROTHER BEAR, that animated movie that came out a while back. My evil sister is named HAWK. She likes to be called BLOODHAWK. The adorable one is BUNNY. And last and not least, the baby of the family, the one that is very unpredictable, my little precious, the DUCK. My parents do not have a "Animal Spirit". The funny thing is, out there in cyberspace, there are tests, to say what kind of animal are you. We take them and see the results. But we did not get this names from the internet. I will tell later how each one of us got associated with a particular animal. Except the Duck. We just named her that. Ciao.

A freaking dilemma.

My gosh!!! I have 2 freaking finals and 2 test. Not to mentions some papers. Wow, I got my work cut out for me. I am trying to study to get an A on the classes. For some people, they are worried in FINALS week they they might fail and not pass the class. My worry is that I won't get an A on the class. I am relaxed that I am going to pass with a B. But I want that A. Being a failure... anyone can do that-easy...but a success, thats a challenge and not for everyone. I am just resting from studying. I have been studying nonstop since last Friday. Is that everything would have been cool if it wasn't for last weeks test. I got A's on the first 3 tests. Then I got a C last week. Uh oh. So I need an A on the last test and on the FINAL to make sure I get that A. The other classes, most possibly I got the A already, but I should not let my guard down and get cocky. For the future. To protect and maintain... the chivalry WAY!!! (hey, it rhymes)

Profile dedication update.

Current profile look is dedicated to my little sister... THE DUCK. Thats our affectionate name for her. Even at her school, they lovingly call her Ducky. I did this because her birthday is coming soon. She always manages to make laugh, and put a smile on my face... very unpredictable. I kinda get irratated when I already know where the joke is going or is a predictable one, judging by persons behavior. She is very spontaneous. I have studied human sciences since a child, kinda ruining what to expect what a person is going to do next. But with our DUCK, she just manages to keep us in suspense, or just come out with a totally unforseen outcome. So since we are happy to have her with us, part of the circle, is good to see that she keeps things interesting. So...HAPPY BIRTHDAY our Fudge-Haired Duck!!! CIAO.
