my last update was on aug.21,2007.

anyway, i'm bored so... let me explain my username. it stemmed from the tagalog (my native language) word "ulol" or "ulul." both are acceptable since it depends on the person if he's a "u" or "o" type, but "u"s have more emphasis.

what does it mean then? it is rather hard to fully translate it since it is more of a "street term" but the closest definitions are "stupid" or "crazy" or "asshole" or anything that is more or less related to those insults.

being an anime person or if you're a racist or whatever a "bananame," i included "urur." and since i am a fan of tongue twisters and ran out of ideas, i decided on this username.

recently, i've been considering on changing my name since it sounds stupid literally. but thanks to the commentor below who said that it was rather cool, i'm saving it.

the next time you run across your resident bully shout "ulul."

yey! a rather useless trivia from me. but at least you learned something.

some things to think about...

A PROVERB is a well-known, venerable saying rooted in philosophical or religious wisdom. Just about everybody knows some proverbs, and we often base decisions on these instructive maxims.
But when you line up proverbs that spout conflicting advice, you have to wonder if these beloved aphorisms aren't simply personal observations masquerading as universal truths:

- We often proclaim that actions speak louder than wordds, but at the same time we contend that the pen is mightier than the sword.

- How can it be true that you should look before you leap but make hay while the sun shines?

- It's better to be safe than sorry, but nothing ventured nothing gained.

- Haste makes waste, but he who hesitates is lost.

- Patience is a virtue, but opportunity knocks but once.

- Slow and steady wins the race, but gather ye rosebuds while ye may.

- Fools rush in where angels fear to tread, but faint heart never won fair maiden.

- Beware of Greeks bearing gifts, but don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

- There's no place like home and home is where the heart is, but the grass is always greener on the other side and a rolling stone gathers no moss.

- Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise because what you don't know can't hurt you, but it is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness because the unexamined life is not worth living.

- Too many cooks spoil the broth, but many hands make light work.

-Two's company and three's a crowd, but the more the merrier because two heads are better than one.

- If at first you don't suceed, try and try again, but don't beat a dead horse.

- Silence is golden, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

- Clothes make the man, but beauty is only skin deep because you can't judge a book by it's cover and all that glitters is not gold.

- All work and no play make Jack a dull boy, but early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy and wise.

- A stitch in time saves nine, but better late than never.

- The bigger, the better, but the best things in life come in small packages.

- Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but out of sight, out of mind.

- What will be will be, but life is what you make it.

- Don't cross your bridges before you come to them and don't count your chickens before they're hatched, but forewarned is forarmed and well begun is half done.

- What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, but one man's meat is another man's poison.

- With age comes with wisdom but out of the mouths of babes and sucklings come wisdom.

- Turn the other cheek and forgive and forget, but an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth because turnabout is fair play.

- IT's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game, but all's fair in love and war and the ends justify the means.

Quite apparently, whichever side of an argument one takes, one can usually find a proverb to support it. That's why Miguel Cervantes wrote, "There's no proverb that is not true," while Lady Montagu proclaimed that, "general notions are generally wrong." (Richard Lederer)
