kids nowadays

Monday, March 10, 2008

i was extremely shocked when my 7 year old niece accidentally mentioned that she has a crush.  we were playing penpen de sarapen type of games and there was this game where the "it" has to say the first letter of her crush’s name.  i wasn’t paying attention but when she said "s" i was like what!?!  you have a crush!?!  she then immediately retracted her statement, she picked a random letter daw.  yeah right…  tsk. tsk. tsk.

later in the afternoon, i heard her murmuring something while playing with her barbie ring.  i listened closely and she was whispering, "will you marry me?"  marriage?  you’re jusy 7, kiddo!

when i was 7, i only cared about my assignments, watching okay ka fairy ko, and playing nintendo and luto-lutuan.  kids are so different now.  they act like teenagers as such an early age.  is it what they watch or are they just too psychologically advanced now that they mature easily?  scary.

i agree! cartoons are no longer that child-friendly. i was surprised when i saw kim possible and ron as a couple. bata lang sila dati!

i can only imagine how scary it is to have a daughter. you’re probably paranoid, eh? :)

no worries, i know you have perfect grammar. ;) just a typo error.

Paranoid is an understatement. Hahaha! I don’t know what I ever did in my past life to deserve this! I really don’t!

Hehehehe.

it’s not what you did in your past life, it’s what you did when you were younger (naks, younger). looking under women’s skirts at 7!, stealing your dad’s penthouse magazines… oh no! hehehe. :)

Shhhhhhhh! You’re going to blow my cover!! Hahahaha!

Yeah, I kind of figured out that all those things I used to do when I was “younger” would all come back to me sooner or later! Sigh……I gotta save for bail money. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

hi.. i was browsing about the gpat exam of UPCBA and your blog was included in the search results.

just want to ask if there’s already statistics, economics, and accounting questions on the gpat exam? or purely basic algebra? salamat po

ray, the proficiency exam covers accounting, econ, and quantitative methods. the quanti exam covers 5 modules: algebra, calculus, mathematics of finance, statistics, and econometrics. :)
