Brothers
I met 2 kinds of brothers today.
One's a female, and the others are male.
XD
Maris Stella is going to change Principal.
Hopefully, the new principal who is a Marist as well, would not change so much of the school's culture, especially since its going to be a government school.
Being a government aided is one of things that makes Maris Stella so awesome.
Maris Stella's flexibility in doing things is one of the things that makes us so damn awesome.
As Leon has said, Maris Stella is good where it is.

Answer
For the benefit of those who didn't see yesterday's post, a short question.
The abbreviation, 9O9O, represents what?
The clue, if you didn't realise, is actually, my father, who have never ever, learnt English before.
The answer is...
*Answer*
9, as in the number 9. O, as in the letter, "O", but as in a hollow circle, which is a, "hole".
Therefore, 9O9O = 9 hole. Or 2 sets of 9 hole.
2 sets of 9 hole doesn't make sense to you, but makes sense to an old man that don't learn English?
That's probably because its a golf language.
A game of 9 hole, instead of the full 18-hole.
Good game.

Abbreviations
also known as, Short forms.
For example, a famous one, also a noun. The United Nations (UN).
A Not so Famous one, Barclays Premier League (BPL).
Short forms has really evolved in its usage around the world. In the long past, Greece and Rome used to used abbreviations in their scripts. They simply avoid spelling the entire word.
One example, chn. for Children, oftenly used by my lecturer.
But, in the modern days, it is used in oh, so many ways.
One particular favourite of mine, OMGWTFBBQ. I have no idea why the BBQ is there, but ah.... It works.
People frequently used short forms like, OMG, WTF, LOL, BRB, and shit like that.
But.
But.
What's more amazing, is that my father's abbreviation skills is awesome as well.
In fact, it is so awesome, that as a man who have only been through a short education without learning anything about English, I have to say he is pretty damn good.
This is an example of a msg in his inbox. It was impossible to decode it.
"9O9O"
Give it a try. I bet you can't solve it.

Coda
20 things the Power Rangers have taught us
1. Spandex makes excellent armour in battle, seeing as it never tears, even if it is attacked head-on with a sword.
2. Policemen, firemen, FBI agents, and other law enforcement officers cannot do their jobs correctly, so instead they have teenagers in neon jumpsuits do it for them.
3. No one has time to worry about burglars or terrorist threats because they are all to preoccupied running away from the giant, mutated monsters that are currently chasing them.
4. All teenagers have perfect teeth, maintain an A+ average, and know 206 different types of martial arts.
5. If you are fighting a mutant monster and are hit with any type of weapon with a blade, you will not bleed or receive a physical injury. Instead, sparks will shoot from your body as you fall to the ground in slow motion.
6. If you get a new teacher this year who is young, hot, has constant staring matches with your new, young, hot principal, and catches that rubber band you just shot at him without looking up from his desk, take it as an early warning and move to Europe.
7. Heroes come in many colours, including white, black, pink, yellow, green, blue, crimson, navy, titanium, and of course the all-powerful red.
8. You may not be old enough to drive, but you're never too young to pilot a 50 story robot.
9. Everyone knows how to diffuse a bomb.
10. Don't worry about the 5-year-old kid that was just crushed beneath the ceiling--no one ever dies from their injuries. They'll just walk funny for a few days afterwards.
11. When going into battle, always have several cheesy catch phrases ready to be yelled at your opponent at anytime--this goes for both the good and bad guys.
12. The standard equipment for all law enforcement personnel is as follows: a sword, some sort of laser-firing weapon (usually in the format of a gun), a 3-inch thick helmet that completely surrounds the head and weighs approximately 7 pounds, a nerd who does nothing else in life but sit around and come up with new weapon upgrades, and a giant robotic animal of some kind.
13. If you play a musical instrument in battle, do not expect it to sound like the actual instrument that you are playing (Example: a flute will sound like a trumpet, and so on and so forth…)
14. When you defeat your opponent, they do not just die; they spontaneously combust in a fiery explosion the size of Rhode Island.
15. If you live in a small town on the coast of California that no one has ever heard about (yet has an excellent tourist industry), expect it to be attacked by an evil wacko and his army of mutant freaks bent on world domination before you graduate high school.
16. If you have a sibling about your age (biological, half, step, twin, ect.), expect the evil wacko to brainwash them, turn them evil (especially if you have a twin), and pit them against you eventually.
17. If you do not have a sibling…expect to be surprised very soon…
18. Rome wasn't built in a day, but small metropolitan cities rebuild themselves overnight.
19. Whenever you arrive to a battle, make sure to procrastinate until the last second, yell at the top of your lungs, and break every law of physics.
And Finally…
20. If the evil mastermind is so freakin strong and powerful, WHY DOESN'T HE DESTROY YOU HIMSELF INSTEAD OF WASTING TIME WITH WEAK LACKEYS?!? C'mon now, really…

Fighting
I was exposed to Martial arts for the first time when I was 5.
Technically it is Martial Arts, but it was more of a form of exercise. It wasn't combat related.
When I grew older, I was taught briefly the basics of kendo.
After that, I had more hands on in Sports Chanbara.
This year, I have even more exposure when I went into Muay Thai.
Fighting can be a very interesting thing.
But there are many reasons why people fight.
Some people do it for the mere thrill, some for the experience, some for self defense, some for the Fight, and the list goes on and on.
Fighting is a form of communication, a form of art, a work of respect.
Among all the sportsmen that I have seen, fighters are really the only one that hugs the opponent after either being merciless shattered by them, or having mercilessly pounded them into mashed egg.
But they still give each other hugs and words of encouragement.
They understand that their opponent, and themselves, have given in their all and smashed through the fight with a battle of wills and everything.
They understand that they did everything they could. They respect that.
So, I don't understand why males give in to females when they fight. Sure, they have a smaller muscle mass which results in lesser power, but, when they fight, is it still fighting if you don't do all you can?
Isn't that having no respect?
I think so. I've seen guys getting whooped by girls anyway. Unfortunately, it also includes me.
>_>

There are many things that I wanted to post about the past few days.
But I was too lazy to.
I was busy watching Avatar the last airbender anyway.

Greatness
Is when your toenail finally comes off.
After a few months or rotting on your toe.
That, is greatness.
Batman is great too, and way better than toenail coming off. So much better that its off the charts.

Batman
Let me give you another example of his coolness if you still do not understand how cool he really is.
Batman is so cool, that he has a wiki page on his frigging costume.
That's how cool he is.
The basic suit: is made from Kevlar thread and carbon nanotube fibers.
The basic suit: also is constructed with a full body electric shock delivery system.
The basic suit: is insulated against electricity and is mildly fire resistant.
The basic suit: can withstand a point blank range blast from a 12-gauge shotgun.
Withstand a point blank range blast from a shotgun.
A SHOTGUN.
A NORMAL HUMAN WITHSTANDING THE POWER OF A SHOTGUN.
Then again, he might not be so normal after all.

Expedition
Bear Grylls brought Will Ferrell on a survival trip in the ice bound mountain and glacier ranges in Sweden.
They crossed snow plains, climbed frozen waterfalls, and ate deer/antelope head.
Talk about awesome.
I want to join them too.
