Titan Fun Day Awards! Boo. The beach trip was moved to next weekend because of Father’s Day.
So this is cute. It is beyond me, though, why I am nominated for Ms Rampadora. I do NOT loitter around the operations floor, okay. It just so happens that my supervisor sits away from our team :P
It Gets More Absurd! Miriam College (ya know, my college) has always been strict with its dress code; I mean, two out of the three minor violations (that eventually led to my having a major violation) I’ve had in all my four years in college were caused by my going to school in ‘improper attire’.
It’s a Catholic institution. Common sense dictates no miniskirts, no rubber flipflops, no backless or halter tops, no tank tops with straps less than an inch etc etc. Once, even girls in black bras were randomly reprimanded by the dean of student affairs.
Ever since my major violation, I’ve made it a point to follow college rules and regulations. Thank god for sequined non-rubber flipflops. So anyway, last Wednesday, I went to school to finally enroll my ass. I was wearing rubber platform flipflops, having come from work.
Lady guard: You’re wearing rubber slippers.
Helga: (Like I don’t know?) I’M JUST ENROLLING!!! (Jesus!)
I had to go back yesterday to pay for my tuition. I passed by the guards, waving a yellow form and my registration form under their noses. I had successfuly made it past the gates when one of them went:
“Miss, your earrings are too long. Kindly Take them off.”
I rub my ears as I walk away from them (as they were still calling out to me), feigning to take them off. I send Rabi and Clem a message each, relaying to them this latest Miriam horror story.
Clem: HAHAHAHA, BEEEECAUSE WE’RE CATHOLIC SKEWL GRLZZZ.
See. I don’t get it. Why are dangling/chandelier earrings deemed improper by our school now? Do dangling earrings demoralize women? Do we stoop to prostitute-levels because we’re not wearing boring plain studs? AND WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT THIS UP?
Technically, earrings aren’t part of the Miriam uniform so I *kinda* get THEIR point. BUT! I WASN’T IN UNIFORM YESTERDAY (and won’t ever need to be, since I only have Saturday classes) SO LAY OFF MY PRECIOUS EARRINGS, PLEASE.
Rabi: If you’re not in uniform, they can’t do anything about your earrings.
Helga: Dude! I’m not in uniform!
Rabi: Baka type ni manang! Ibigay mo na!
LOLOLOLOLOL.

But.. but.. MC’s not run by nuns anymore. Maybe there’s somebody new in the admin. My brother was the last few boys who graduated from there. Haha!
And oh.. I saw your brother on TV on the Mossimo thing.. He was always smiling like a lost boy.. Hehe
[Reply]
my golly. i used to rant about it at all times.. i mean most of them are made for what? (nothing. just to make sure the students bring up the morale of the school, like it critically depends on it. or maybe yes, haha!)
there was one rule that sticked to me though.. keep your ponytails/hair accessories to black/brown/blue/white (because our uniform is white and blue) because? it’s eye-sore if it’s bright-orange! it doesn’t just go with it..
the skirt rule? don’t keep it too short. when it’s too long. skirts too long are not allowed, they make you look like manang. HUH?!?!
it’s good to hear you get to enroll already though. ;p

gahhh catholic schools think of the most asinine rules i swear. i can understand shoving the rules down our throats during high school, but COLLEGE?! mehnnnn…ibang storya yan ah. in my high school, we weren’t allowed to wear COLORED hairclips [dapat blue white and black lang] and we weren’t allowed to have colored/high-lighted hair either :s
in a semi off-topic sidenote, omg i think all catholic school grlzz should watch THE NUN. it’s a horror flick and frm the previews pa lang, it’s mad scary!
[Reply]
Hey, GOCCEs (government owned and controled corporation employees) are not like that! :p Well at least I’m not :p
And I was (almost) reprimanded (but scared to be reported to Personnel) for wearing Havaianas to work.
