1) Sometimes I don’t want to “intellectualize” for fear of losing my empathy. A desensitized me is nothing but eyes with blank stares, ears that hear but do not listen, hands that stay limp and refuse to move.
2) For some, writing is their bread and butter. For me, writing can’t even be my milk and cookies. Though I love to write, I can’t write when someone tells me what to write. My mind instantly turns into a white board with a marker nervously waiting in the wings. I always get this weird feeling that my work won’t turn out right. That I would fail to convey exactly what needs to be conveyed.
3) If you teach English, practice what you preach. Capitalize the first letter in a stat update, unless your name is the start of your sentence. Refrain from using jejemon and text spelling. Check your punctuations. Watch your grammar. Just a friendly reminder, my friends.
4) Pet Peeve of the Day: Scrolling through news feeds and reading stat updates displaying the abuse and misuse of the misunderstood ellipsis. An ellipsis is not equal to three periods controlling themselves from screaming. An ellipsis is not even a period with two clones. Neither is it a substitute for a period or a comma. Review your punctuations, please!
5) I’m so glad that I’m no longer an English teacher because I cringe every time I read “super agree” and “very like.” Naman. Naman.

Facebook Arnimalisms: Series 4
1) No matter what online forum, message board or Facebook page I find myself active in, I always end up having enemies. That’s the reason why I’m the Arnivorous Arnimal. Meowr!
2) Just because you don’t know the meaning of “Maundy Thursday” doesn’t mean that the term does not exist. It also doesn’t mean you’re right. Your imagined brilliance is proof of your ignorance.
3) Your favorite show is “Wowowee” and you still have no clue why we’re not a couple. I give up.
4) Your being a UP alumnus does not impress me at all. Sadly, you don’t know the use of the past perfect tense. Yeah, just try and bite me.
5) If I click on your profile, I hope I can read something worthwhile. One time, I accidentally clicked on it and found out … man, it’s worth shit.
6) TROLLIAN LANGUAGE: a body of words/non-words and the system for their use common to the trolls who are of the same Trollian community. It is characterized by horrendous grammar and terrible spelling. This language is practiced by trolls who are infamous for their constant whinings, nonsensical arguments, lack of wit and a penchant for popping up with ho-hum profile fake names.
7) MANTRA FOR THE DAY: Don’t feed the trolls. Like gremlins, they multiple and turn ugly. They’re not worth shit. It would be insulting to the shit. Repeat 10x or as many as you like without giving The Finger.
8) ARNIVOROUS ADVISORY: Please be advised that there will be no intrusive BART Train Moments scrolling through your news feeds. Also, alliteration addicts will have to contain their addiction to the seduction of sequential syllables starting with the same sound. Yours truly will be watching the Maroon 5 concert tonight. Whoohoo!
9) Psst! Made you look.
10) Arnivorous Arnimal almost always amuses. Another alliteration? Amazing! Ahahaha! Annoying! Ahihihi.

Facebook Arnimalisms: Series 3
1) Kapag hindi patas ang labanan, hindi dapat magalit. Magsulat na lang at ipakalat sa Facebook. “The pen is mightier than the sword,” di ba?
2) Kapag below-the-belt and labanan, grammar nila ang pagtawanan. Mwahahaha!
3) Nakakahawa ang wrong grammar sa Facebook. Tsk-tsk.
4) Huwag maliitin ang magagalitin. Baka ka sapakin at saka kagatin. Meowr!
5) Nung nawala ka sa FB list ko, naging maaliwalas ang newsfeed ko.
6) SA SIBUYAS MAY TIGAS: Ito raw ang Tagalog translation ng “In union, there is strength.”
7) Kapag nilagyan mo ng BETadine ang leeg mo at ika’y natuLOG, maaari ka na raw bansagan na BETLOG.
8) Pigilan akong huwag magtaray
Sa cyberspace ay hindi mangatay
Mahirap lalo pag may PMS
Sakong mo lang po ang walang daplis.
9) Merong isang tinatatamad
Pag pumapel ay malapad
Pag pinuri ay kanya raw
Kahit sa akin ninakaw
10) Walang wit mag-tweet ang twit.
