The Tale of Jejemon.

So, I haven’t bloghopped yet. And I’m not sure if someone has written an article already about the booming “Jejemons”. I was watching 24 oras yesterday when I decided to blab this.  But, hell yeah. With my little knowledge, I’ll try to explain what/who are those creatures and why suddenly, they became a hit!

“eOw pOhwzZz aMuxThhhA nAhh p0h y0uUu?!?!?!!!“

By the way, it took me a minute to write the statement above. So, JEJEMONS, basically, they are famous for writing/texting/typing like that. Well, before they became a phenomena, I have been really observant in Tumblr, and I noticed their existence.

They type/write/text like that. I know, let me describe these features of the text. Small letter and Capital letters were combined in a so-messed-up way. Just like what I read in Tumblr, “HAVE PITY ON THE ‘SHIFT’ KEY.” And the first word (I’m not even sure if that’s a word though) “EOW”. Yeah, that means “HELLO”. Hahaha. Simply put, the statement above says:

Hello po. Kamusta ka na?

And you can conserve more space if you type like that. Believe me. And a BIG NO, I’m neither Pro-Jejemon nor Anti-Jejemon. Okay, I lied. It can’t be that I’m NEUTRAL. Haha. I’m Anti. But for me, it isn’t a big deal. Haha. I have also read in Tumblr, that Jejemons are also human. It’s too inhuman for us to discriminate them. But for Jejemons, please, do everyone else a favor. If you don’t want haters, do some change SOMEHOW.

First, yeah, I know. The ‘way’ they text/type/write. There’s no sense making a fuss out of the way you text/type/write sentences. But, that’s the problem. Children younger than you are might think that, that’s really the CORRECT WAY. And we all know that, it isn’t, right? I have one professor who shared a story, while he was checking an essay of lower levels, he noticed that some words are misspelled. Words like “YOU” are misspelled as “U”. See? We should be aware that we are influencing other people. And what’s with the ‘kamuxtha’? You can say, ‘kamusta’. That simple. Okay?

And second, yes the last. As I was saying that I was in the NEGATIVE SIDE, I’m not one to talk like this. Haha. But I’ll say it anyway.

People, MIND YOU? Anti-Jejemon ka, SO COOL KA NA NIYAN? I think, it’s inevitable, in one way or another, we’ll make fun of them, but also, in one way or another, we can try to stop and think… they’re HUMANS too. Only if we try, we can just IGNORE them, okay? ‘Coz I have read some articles and I have heard some stories like when some Jejemon texts him/her, they just suddenly blurting out “Punyeta! Jejemon ka! Wag mo kong i-text!”. MEAN MUCH? That’s too cruel.

So please, if you can’t be nice, just shut the hell up. Ignore them. Okay?

And for Jejemons, just be aware and by now, earning a lot of haters, doesn’t it sound bad? What do you think you can do? Maybe change somehow, right?

Okay, SMILE NOW

I hope I won’t be earning haters here. Haha!
