Major, Major Thanks To Venus Raj

Most people say that Venus Raj should've been more creative with her answer. Some say that she should've given her "title-stripping" issue as an answer . I could agree more, but hey, she bagged 4th runner up. Not bad at all. At the end of the day, she still brought honor and pride to our country considering what happened the day before the pageant. I am already happy with what she achieved.

Here is a link of her thank you message.

I thought all along that you need to have log in credentials to be able to chat with a jejemon. I was wrong. Anyway, I am not a fan nor I want to be one of them. I am also not a hater nor a lover. Let us just say that I respect their individuality.

My previous entry, let's face it, lacks soul. It was a product of rushing. There was no deadline. I was in front of the computer and I just want to write something--it's boredom, I guess.

Enough with the excuses!LOL

As promised, I tried to invade a not-so-familiar community (I think they are already a community) and I got a result. It was very short conversation because I did not know what to say. Above is a screenshot. I edited his picture and name, of course. He is 15, he described himself as "mabait and pogi" (kind-hearted and handsome) and he really did not use much of the jeje-language--if you can call it as such. I was the one using the jeje-language because I was using their translator which is called the Jologs-inator.

There was no need for me to create a jejename because I was able to chat without one. There is a panel on the right side of their site where you can see jejemons who are logged in and you can chat with them right away. Since I do not have a jejename, I was dubbed anon--that is probably for unknown. Funny.

I was actually sharing this experience with a friend and he told me that some local news reporters/researcher who are gay, call each other jejekla. We were even joking about what we can call a jejemon specialist--a jejeologist. Study of jejemons--jejeology (why do we even need to study them in the first place), a Mommy jejemon--jejemom (Jesus, bless your kids!), a techie jejemon--jejetechie. Now, what if a jejemon works in a call center, can we call him a jejecall then? That does not sound politically right...hahaha

The Jologs-inator

I was wondering how a jejemon communicate with a fellow jejemon. I researched (aka GOOGLE) and I was not disappointed. Jejemons do have their official website! I was not surprised. The site is http://www.jejemon.com. It is user friendly and it is very colorful. I am not sure if it will be easy to understand them once you're logged in and are communicating with them already.

If you are not a jejemon you will have a hard time reading through, I guess. Good thing they have their own translator called "Jologs-inator" which for sure, can help those non-jejemons.

I tried it. Below is what I typed and the translation.

Hi, I am new here so please bear with me. Kumusta, are you from QC?

HI, I M NEW~ hERe s0 plEASE BeAr~ wITH mE P0wh.~ KuMuSta p0wH.~ zAReZuu F0m QC, N0H?

It is fun translating but it's never fun reading such. Aside from the translator, they also have their own jejebadge (where I got the badges used in this entry), jejepolls (they predicted Noynoy to win the Presidential election) and forum/chat room. I am actually planning on signing up so that I can experience how to be a jejemon firsthand.

I am still thinking of a jeje-name. HELP!

When I did a spell-check on this entry, all "jeje" words were highlighted.--as expected! I will be posting more as soon as I'm done with my jejemon invasion. I will not be trapped, Bles!

Jologs Chic

We were never introduced formally...I thought it was not necessary. We have a common friend who posted a link about him on a social networking site. That is how I came across his blog. I was so amazed with what I saw when I visited his blog. It was like love-at-first sight. He is a genius. Oh, I am talking about Yek Balingit.


Yek is a Visual Artist for local fashion brands. His team are the ones designing/dressing the windows of shoppes. Aside from being a Visual Artist, Yek creates lovely neckpieces.


I added him as a friend on a social networking site and the rest is history. We met just today...I got myself a MIADORE. He took a picture of me wearing his creation and I was not prepared. Darn, I should have known!


His Miadore is now an official label at the House of Laurel. Yes, Rajo Laurel! He shared how Rajo grabbed him when he saw him at BED club. How cool is that, Rajo grabbing you because he adores your work? Yek also added that he was just there because a friend invited him. What a coincidence!


Visit Yek's blog and I'm sure you will be amazed as well.
