The Cornchild Diaries
The Cornchild Diaries

I am Olan, an 18 year old boy from the Philippines. I also call myself Nalo or Cheezy. I am currently pursuing my undergraduate studies in Singapore. People close to me say that I'm crazy and corny. But people who don't know me well may see me as someone silent and mysterious. That's because I only talk and share to people who reach a certain level of closeness to me. I like singing, listening to music, dancing crazily, eating Skittles and M&Ms, drinking Dutch Lady Chocolate Flavoured Milk and having chicken teriyaki for lunch and/or dinner. Basically, that's all I could say about me, cornchild.

I'll give ivyyyyy a special mention for having this kind of thing on her journal. When I tried it, it said "cornchild has fragile contents which may break". Well, it's true enough. There are things inside me that are really fragile. My moods perhaps? Yeah, I admit it. There are times when I easily get irritated or feel low. Just refer to my previous entries. Almost half of them are rant entries, entries that I have written when I really felt bad and low. Well, those were just the times when something inside me just broke. Hehe..

OK. To lighten up the mood here, let's just think of things inside me which are literally breakable. Well, I could think of my bones. They're very fragile. In high school, I broke my left wrist two freakin-times! Yes, I was that active. But the incidents that led me to break my own bones are sooo stupid, you'll just wonder how weird I am. The first fracture happened when I was in my second year. I was playing "merry-go-round" with my classmate while we were waiting for our carpool. (Merry-go-round: a game where two standing people hold each other's hands first and then they just start turning. Get it? Hehehe..) Apparently, she exerted more centrifugal force than I did. And then, I was thrown off to the ground! And I landed on my left hand! Ouch that really hurt. I even cried after that. I could clearly remember the pain I felt that time. Luckily I'm right-handed so it didn't affect me much. When asked by my classmates about what happened to my hand, I just told them that I simply fell. But they managed to find out the truth though.

The second time was when I was in my fourth year. It was CAT period. I was in the Alpha 1 platoon. So most of the time we just do nothing. That time, the medics were playing chinese garter on the other side of the field. So I thought of joining them. Actually, we were not allowed to leave the platoon. But I just went there secretly. So we started playing. Over time, the garter level became so high that only chinese garter experts (which I'm not one of) could reach it. Nonetheless I tried it. When it was my turn to jump, I slowly ran towards the garter and when I started to jump, I just fell down backwards. My head was already nearing the ground, but luckily, I fell on the floor with my left hand supporting me, thus preventing any head injury. But not luckily, my left wrist broke (again!). It was really painful. It was even more painful than my first injury. But miraclously, I didn't cry. I was just calm. Luckily I was with the medics that time, so they immediately gave me first aid. The commander asked what happened, but I couldn't tell him that I played. He might punish me. So I just kept silent, pretending that I couldn't speak because of the pain. And our commander just bought into that. Hehe.. Unlike the first injury, I got a cast on my hand for that injury. And it was green! (which I hated that time)I think I have a photo of me with that cast on my hand. I'll try to find it and show it to you next time. :D

And recently, I almost broke my ankle. Luckily it was just some sort of a muscle injury and so it just went away the next day.

Well, I have to end it here. Everything inside me is starting to break now: my eyes, my nose, my body, my head! It's like my whole body is already cracking! I can feel the stress concentrations on the crack areas! What could be the geometry of the cracks inside me? What is my body's fracture toughness? Waah!!

(It just shows how tired and stressed out I am right now)

Bye!
