What goes in a mind of a Dorkette?

Before I start let us discuss the word Dorkette.

Dorkette: from the root word DORK.

Dork: Often used interchangeably with nerd or geek.

Dorks are typically more noted for their quirky personality and behavior rather than their interests or IQ which may or may not be on level with traditional geeks or nerds. They tend to be more humorous and extroverted and don't mind laughing at themselves or with others at themselves, as the case may be.
After the 1990s, the term dork tended to specifically refer to a person who often shared the characteristics of geeks or nerds but were not ostracized as a result. Also, while old school geeks and nerds tend to continue to accept an "outsider" status and maintain an elite club mentality amongst themselves, dorks generally tend to do the opposite, hence a current preference with the mainstream for dorks over geeks or nerds.

Dorkette: the feminine term for a dork.

A dorkette MUST be an ATTRACTIVE female dork. A NON-ATTRACTIVE female dork is called a "dorkus". Super cool girls defined as dorks, nerds, geeks, or freaks, who are geniuses in many subjects, love anime, play music, and have thriving social lives. Not to mention they're pretty. The Dorkettes is a name we coined for us due to our often irrational and socially frowned upon behavior.

Dorkus: A person who is too far beyond the normal dork. They have taken the dorkdum to a whole new level. A dork to the extreme or an extremely foolish person. Usually used in the term "Dorkus Maximus", but can be used alone.

Dorky: adjective dork·i·er, dork·i·est. Slang

Meaning One: To act 'silly', 'foolish', 'stupidly' or in other words to act like a dork.
Meaning Two: Dorky is a WinBoard computer chess program for Windows.

NOTE* 1/2 Dork/ Dorkette are people who has odd interests, and is often silly at times, who can be themselves and not care what anyone thinks.

NOTE*2/2 Dork: a whale penis

ei. The blue whale has the biggest dork on earth…HAHAHA!

So what’s the point?

NOTHING! Dorkus Maximus! YAH!

I SEE YOU LURKING AROUND =D

The Death of Humdrumness

They say that you control your own life. If you complain that you’re not happy, it’s because you decide to feel that way. If you’re miserable with the uniformity in your life, it’s because you select the same path all the time. If you keep on saying that you’re tired with all work and no play, it’s because you refuse to welcome fun and excitement in the things that you do. In one way or another we are all bored because we refuse to whip the soul inside us.

I myself is in that humdrum cycle, I’ve always felt that I am lacking because I don’t see the thrill in what I do anymore. I was born as a thrill seeker (ARIES ARE), I never settle for the easy path I rather choose the rough road. I’m a person who would deviate to what everyone agrees upon. I’m a person who only believes in those who have the same thinking as mine. I hate to be ordinary, I hate to blend in. But when you age, your goals, ideas and the way you perceive things also age along with you. My dilemma is how to break the monotony in my life without causing damage.

Deciphering the puzzles on how I can bring back the adventure in my life is not easy. I have limited network of friends now, (friends come and go, yes, they do most of the time, and only few remain over the years) so gimmicks are not an option and my focus is on another level. I said: I have to earn all the darn money there is., so involving money is another no-no. Changing Career is also not an option but I have to put life back into my life…

Tadah!!! Ideas flashing…Lamest Ideas that would somehow bring me back in my world. Without too much effort or change in what I do.

I’m starting this project 52 weeks and 365 days: A SOS to Humdrumness~ A Break from Monotony.

52 weeks will be a compilation of my videos playing the guitar with whatever songs I have in mind (Dang! that’s 52 songs). I’ll be doing this every Monday or whenever I have a spare time in a week. My videos will be called “DORKETTECOVERTVERSION” the reason for doing this is because I don’t want my guitar skills to wither, with the hope that this will inspire and motivate me to practice my guitar skills. It will only be available in my facebook account because youtube is too effin’ overrated (sorry), I just don’t want to join the crowd and I would rather have the most honest opinion coming from real people I know.

356 days will be my compilation of expressive photos or concept photos. I will post it (again) in my facebook account. It will not be like my usual photos that you see. I may play a little bit, dragging myself to conceptualize a presentation for the viewers to perceive how I feel and challenging myself with what I can do in a more artistic level. Nope, I may not put it in flicker, for the same reasons that I have with youtube, it can’t be easily accessible to anyone. I have enough photos running around the net and that’s more than enough to satisfy the worlds lacking (HAHAHA) for pungent taste! (Project starts on April 12. Em’ on the process of gathering all resources).

Anyways, I hope everyone will support me in this folly. For some who would give a “duh” reaction, OH EFFIN’ PLEASE! To hell with how you feel, it’s my way of bringing back life into my life, I don’t expect anyone to join the ride and…oh! Just so you know I won’t have it your way. But just incase you feel you’re lacking in some…come on! I have extra seats for you! Let’s go chuga-chuga choo-choo! Whoopsy!

(Crossing fingers in those two projects…Oh please give me the patience and courage to face all the effin’ challenges there are. May I not know the word PROCRASTINATION; let it be far from me=))

Suggestions are welcome, I’m all ears 0(^o,^)0== Hit it!

The Z Siblings

Z is the twenty-sixth and final letter of the basic modern Latin alphabet. In American English, its name is zee /ˈziː/, deriving from a late 17th century English dialectal form.

I've always wondered how our parents came up with our nick names. You see, our given name’s origin is quite easy to identify, just like any kids who were born in late 70’s and early 80’s we are named after our grandparents. What makes me wonder is how they came up with the idea of putting the letter Z in our nicks?

Ok, since I have already opened up my name here and revealed the person behind mygoodriddance, my name is LEVZ, now I have to name my brothers, they are twins, and their nicks are ZEY & RENZ.

Now you might be asking, so what the hell is wrong with that? It’s not even a big deal….

Yeah, right! I’m just ranting because I don’t have anything to write about (Smirk… LOL).

Of course it’s a big deal!…let me tell you this, I have friends whose been with me for years, and until now they can’t properly spell my name, common mistake LEVS or LEBS and some go beyond by calling LEVI, LEBY even LEVIS (yeah, the jeans). Same goes with my brothers, Zey would often be spelled as SAY, I remember when we were kids his basketball jersey’s name was SAY (isn’t that sad?), Renz would often be spelled as Rence.

You see, it saddens me when I receive a gift and my name is not spelled right (sorry), it defeats the sincerity of the giver. I hate it when I have to repeat my name 3x when ordering coffee because the barista can’t simply get it… worst part is, they usually put the name DEBS in my coffee, of course, I wouldn’t look when they’re calling me, because they’re calling the wrong name. I hate it when they leave a message or send me a text or post a shout out and they start with “Levs or Lebs or Lebby, blah, blah, blah” and just right on top of their post you will see my profile with my name spelled right.

Honestly, I like the uniqueness of my name. I feel good because I was not named like any other kids. Unlike other kids whose names are very common that when someone calls them you’ll hear 2-3 kids replying. They said, for you to be successful in life you have to love your own name. I totally dig that! I am proud of my name it’s just that I hope people will pay more attention.

I’ve ask our mudra why they’ve put the letter Z in our name, she said it just came to them in random thoughts, there’s really no particular reason…Now I know where I got my randomness…

Pet Peeves: Annoyance at Its Finest

Things that annoys the hell out of me:

Guys who sleep inside the FX and lean their head on your shoulder.

~Annoyance to the maximum level, those people who doze off and bang their head all over the place, it’s ok to sleep, but please, be considerate of those who are sitting beside you. One time there was this guy who effin’ lean on my shoulder because he so effin’ sleepy, and I swear to Gwad that I almost punch his face after nudging him 3x.

Rude and Gloomy Restaurant/ Food chain Crew.

~ Although I never experience working in a restaurant I know that crews should always be smiling and willing to extend a helping hand, that’s very basic in sales and marketing. It annoys me when I encounter rude and sour looking crews. Smile, it makes the food that you serve tastier. If you don't like what you're doing, give yourself and the restaurant a huge favor..Quit Dw*ngyaw!

Sales ladies who follow you like a dog.

~ The very moment you step inside their shop they come crawling and wiggling their tails at your back, then you start selecting from the rack and they give you every single detail of the item that you are holding. ANNOYING! I feel pressured and obligated to buy something, like their telling me “I’m watching you.” I don’t know about you guys, but I step out side the store the moment I see some signs. I hate that they follow me when I’m not even asking for help. I guess just a warm welcome and a smile is enough for me to stay and at least purchase something.

People who pick their nose in public.

~Gwad, why would you dial your nose in public when rotary phone is already phase-out? Man, this is the twentieth century; everyone’s using a touch tone phone. HAHAHA! Kidding aside, that is not a nice sight to see. Disgusting period! I hate it when you filthily flick your catch! Darn! No words can describe my annoyance on you!

Touchy people.

~I’m not a very touchy person so I don’t like being touch. I hate it when someone would talk to me and grab my hands or my arms, tap my shoulder or stroke my head until they finish talking. If we’re not really close I would really die of annoyance. I would only grab the arms of my closest friends when crossing the streets, or touch only those who I really trust and those I’ve been with since time in memorial.

People who cry just for the sake of sympathy

No need to explain. They are the melo dramatic addict insane drama queen~ Boohoo I’ll make you cry till you run out of water in your tear duct and till your saliva comes out of your eyes! Yikes!

Plastic Fantastic People

~ They’re the ones who will give you the warmest smile in the world, but wait till you turn your back Hahaha! They’ll turn into murmuring Golum…Tsk Tsk!

Human Farting Machine

I just hate those that fart everywhere and don’t even excuse themselves. Effin’ hate you with passion. And you think we don’t have enough air pollution in this country!? Hayz! I don’t wanna know the smell of longganisa after processing it in you stomach. Gross, I can’t even describe how I feel for those people.

K.I.A. (Know. It. All. People)

~ They’re the ones who knows, have been, was able, have experienced, have knowledge, have been there, have done that, me too, I can, I am, and etc. whatever you say won’t matter because they’ve been there and they’ve done that, they KNOW IT ALL and your knowledge doesn’t even amount to half of what they know. Sometimes I wanna ask those people if they have experience jumping off a 20 feet story building…who knows they might jump off and go!

That’s all for now folks, I’m sure some of you share the same sentiments…I still have few more to add but I’m running out of time and this is becoming a very long post. I don’t want to bore anyone. I’ll post a part two some other time.

My Good Riddance to those who was mentioned above, you guys effin’ irk the hell out of me.

Please allow me to say this: I’m not perfect, but I’m trying to be decent, so do your part.

11. Accessories – Yes! some of my friends call me borloloy queen. I use 4 chunky bracelets all at the same time and 2-3 chunky rings and what not. But it needs to be coordinated otherwise I might be categorized under Christmas decors.

Oodles of Doodles

A doodle is a type of sketch, an unfocused drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes.

Stereotypical examples of doodling are found in notebooks, often in the margins, drawn usually daydreaming or losing interest during class or meetings. Other common examples of doodling are produced during long telephone conversations if a pen and paper are available.

Above are some sample of my doodles, those are made while I was thinking of new projects and solutions on how I can improve our performance. Not all doodles are due to unfocused attention or boredom some are also due to overflowing of ideas and out pour of creative juice, in my case I doodle while thinking.

as you can see few of my doodles are really funny I even draw poop, guess what I was thinking at that time? --- I was thinking about Money big time Mo'Money Man! See the golden poop!

The skull represent death. When they said that I have to start giving a performance memo to the employee, that was the drawing that came out of my hand. I was thinking of the memo structure at that time.

My hand are as mischievous and playful as my mind, so when I say talk to my hand better not lose the opportunity. (^o^)v peace!

Oh and I like my Pen! it's MINNIE MAWS!
