Never Underestimate the Fat One
At the moment: breathing
I have two hamsters, one is named Toffee and the striped one is named Nut. Toffee is brown and a little too active for his own good. He climbs better than spiderman and is absolutely polite to strangers.. Nut on the other hand, is one mean bastard. He bites and would rather squish himself under the exercise wheel than be held. My experimental psychology prof wanted us to perform an experiment that puts these two hamsters in 2 kinds of conditioning. Toffee would "listen" to Classical music and Nut would be exposed to Rock. After conditioning them, we'd put them in a maze and then train them to get out.
Toffee showed great potential with the maze. He's the active one and was able to get through the maze easy.
Nut was a total waste of time. He was lazy, he went in all the wrong places and sometimes just stay in that position until we practically shove him towards the exit.
So come presentation time, our group was so proud of Toffee. We keep encouraging him like he was a real person off to go to a marathon. And we kept on cursing Nut.
Classmate1: Go Toffee! You're our champion!
Classmate2: Yeah go Toffee!
Me: Nut Wala kaming mapapala sayo
Classmate1: Oo nga... slow si Nut!
Me: He's not just slow... he's an effing PIG! All he does is eat and get fat.
So yeah, Nut was bombarded with "Wala kang kwenta" and Toffee was showered with praise. And surprise surprise! Toffee wasn't able to get out of the maze.... BUT NUT DID. After the maze I could practically hear him say "Who's yo daddy bitches!!"
And rightfully so. ^__^
I remember Lord of the Flies by Golding. Piggy (yes, can they be more straightforward about it?) was always bullied and picked on even though the kid was bloody brilliant. He had all the right answers and all the best priorities in mind but what happens to him? He gets pushed around, ignored.. and killed.
Life is unfair.
NOTE: Pictures of TOFFEE and the already famous NUT will be uploaded later. ^__^

It was like a movie of a teenage offbeat that became the prom queen at the end of the story. I guess insulting Nut pushed him to his limits, while Toffee got boastful but confused.
aaaaaaawwwwwww! hehehe! ^_^ how's that for an update? lol...so cute! haha!
i have friends from the social sciences whose minor is psych..they also do that kind of thing.hehe.cutie!=)
Yan kasi, in-underrate mo e! Hehe.
ayos... edi ibig sabihin neto, rock music na lang ang dapat pakinggan! kasi kapag nakinig ka ng classical music at naligaw ka sa isang maze, hindi ka na makaka-alis dito compared if you listened to rock music bago ka naligaw. hehe
waah! Nice nice, who would have thought Nut has teh smarts after all that lazy bum.. XD Heheh!! Hello Chimera-sama, been a while since I last visited blogs. ^^
Btw, I saw you at Fridays Rob Ermita last, last Sunday.. I think. XD Ahaha! You're with Julian-sama! :P

i had a hamster once... he was a syrian. named him james butt, because you know how male hamsters' asses are huge.
...then he died. boohoo. boohoo. old age. he was three years old already.
looking forward to the pics!!! GONUT DONUT! [hay sorry bangag lang po ako]
so, you mean - being exposed to rock means being smart at all? jooke lang ahehe.
:D ang galing naman nung nut, kahit tamad - matalino.
