Attacked by Jejemons

I'm Leigh, the owner and blogger of this blog. Recently, the site was attacked by Jejemons who really bombed one of my blog posts with Jeje-ish comments. I didn't realize that the extent of society's discrimination or criticism of Jejemons led to a gigantic rage that actually formed jejemon.i.ph, a sanctuary for all Jejemons.

With deep respect, I would like to tell and remind all viewers of the goals of setting up this humble, small-turned-viral blog of mine. The JejeDEX Blog or JejeDEX, Jejemon, Jeje Blog is a blog for all - jejemons and jejebusters.

The JejeDEX, Jejemon, Jeje Blog (or JejeDEX Blog) will serve as:
1. a site to report, capture or publicize Jejemons
2. a portal for Jejemons to explain their side
3. an area for Jejemon and Jejebusters to settle their differences and find a way to achieve ceasefire
4. a page that would cater to the thriving culture of Jejemons
5. a venue where humor and seriousness meet
6. a device to connect different types of people

Jejemon Status Quo: How They Live Today


After lighting up a massive outrage from different sectors of the Philippine society, it seems like the Jejemons are now capable of living peacefully with their Jejebuster counterparts in the barrios, barangays, towns, and cities in the Philippines. It is therefore imminent in Filipinos that no matter how diverse we are, we still manage to keep our ties secured and value respect of other people's feelings and decisions.

This conclusion was derived based on my observation that in the fictional-surreal Jejemon world:
a. almost everyone stood by their principles and practiced their right to vote despite some pre-election and on-the-spot election violence related scenarios.
b. the Presidential candidate who proposed to admit the Jejemons back to elementary did not win the race since a lot of his youth supporters were hard hit and actually belonged to the Jejemon super clans and bunkers
c. a highly supported and respected President elect is expected to begin and mediate talks between Jejemons and Jejebusters, between the government and MILF, and between the pro- and anti- whatever-is-happening-and-being-proposed-at-hand-to-the-people.
d. a 7.3% economic growth during the incumbent Arroyo Regime should be underestimated and provided microscale focus by the incoming Aquino administration, since growth should not only be experienced by a few people, and Jejemons are ready to lend a helping hand so as to inflate the air of hope for the nation's future development.
e. Arroyo's bid for House Speakership was already verified untrue, which lowered down the political panic and emotional instability of our dear Jejemons and Jejebusters
f. both sides believe that the new administration's plans for the upcoming years will promote the general interest of majority of the people, if not everyone.

I just hope that no wars will be waged between both parties this time, 'cause the present world's been really doomed with too much natural disasters, unjust deaths, weird news, human repressions and dark sociolinguistic evolution.

2010 Words of the Year (Personal Version)

If I were to choose the top ten (10) most influential words of the year, these would be the following:
  1. Halalan - This term topped the Twitter trending keywords and even toppled Justin Bieber from its throne.
  2. Immortal - Globe's goal to make users text more for less has brought about their hip promo, Globe Immortal Txt. The promo might have, in a way, publicized the word and made it one of the most popular words being used by Filipinos this 2010.
  3. Jejemon, Jejedex - Ever since the discovery and entry of the terms into the Philippine setting, Filipinos across the world have been buzzing about its origins and definition. These words also led to the sudden birth of the JejeDEX Blog.
  4. Ondoy - The wrath of typhoon Ondoy slammed Filipinos shaken, making Ondoy one of my chosen influential words because of the terrifying experience it had reminded us of how dangerous Earth is.
  5. Dota - The game, Defense of the Ancients, has produced 18 million links worldwide and has impacted on the Filipino youth making DOTA one of the longest staying games in the country. I give this word a shot at the list for its prevalence in Filipino recreation.
  6. Kuya - The airing of the Pinoy Big Brother made the term "Kuya" popular to Filipinos. Its continuous flow of program seasons has proved how reality television shows have become widely accepted by the Filipino public.
  7. Youtube - The term has been everywhere since the video portal opened few years back. DVD's have been forgotten due to the introduction of Youtube; that's why I include this in my list.
  8. Marimar - This television program aired by GMA, a giant tv network in the Philippines, made its title word "Marimar" a crowd favorite, as the character endorsed offers the stereotype of Philippine beauty and sizzles with one of the hottest love teams in the Philippines.
  9. Boto Patroller - This two-word term was introduced a year ago when TV Patrol World opened their public service program, Boto Mo, Ipatrol Mo Ako ang Simula, which later became useful in revealing the anomalies last May 10 elections.
  10. Emo - To complete the list is the word "emo" imposed on anyone who shares a dramatic story in life. Originally, the term "emo" was coined for people who love style of rock music which is typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics.

Jejemon, Finalist for Word of the Year

A group of academics from the University of the Philippines - Diliman, the country's most prestigious academe, has chosen the word "jejemon" as finalist for the word of the year. Last Friday, ten (10) words were chosen by the Fillipinas Institute of Translation (FIT) as these words had a "strong influence" otoFilipino living for the past two years.

Included in the list of finalists for word of the year are:
  • Ampatuan
  • unli
  • load
  • tarpo
  • solb
  • emo
  • namumutbol
  • Ondoy
The winning word of the year will be announced on July 29 and 30 (after a two-day national conference) to be held at the Bulwagang Rizal (Faculty Center) in the UP Diliman Campus.

It can be recalled that last 2007 the word "miskol", Tagalog counterpart for the phrase "missed call", won as the word of the year. In 2008 and 2009, no words of the year were chosen because the awarding group believed that no word deserved such title.

How to Spot a Jejemon

Aside from using the Jejedex, to unmask the real face of a Jejemon, one should be able to determine a Jejemon's unique abilities. 

First, they jibe with the songs of Soulja Boy, but to differentiate it from avid fans of SB, always bear in mind that Jejemons want to draw the crowds' attention by increasing the volume of the music being played while driving their Jejescooter or Jejecycle with their Jejegirl/ boyfriends. Another movement to detect Jejemons is through browsing each one's friendster or facebook profile. Yeah, I understand what you mean, but if you really care to know more about them (or be one of them), stalk them! Or else, they will stalk you.  Yes, Jejemons possess the ability to hyper stalk at anyone they think is nice to them and would love to mingle with them  by first impression. The best ability, however, is the ability to Jejetype using their very own Jeje Alphabet, as described in previous posts presented by this blog.

Beware of Jejemons 'cause they're all around. Surely, they don't want to hurt anyone. They just want acceptance in this society where everyone tries to fit in.

Jejemon Items: Jeje Dictionary

Photo Courtesy: Tumblr user

People have been addicted with this Jejemon craze, so for the sake of pure fun and  ecstatic entertainment, they made this dictionary the author spotted online. Jejemonism is the current subject currently being taken by the bum youth. They usually either laugh it over or get along with some other Jeje trainees in facebook. Take it easy guys! It's just a dictionary!! The "QamuxZta" word is really intolerable, haha. Just prepare yourself if DepEd surprises us with an additional required subject to take, Jejemonism 101: The Lengthy Truth.

Jejemon Items: The Jejewallet

Photo Courtesy: Google

It comes in colorful combinations, the Jejewallet is one of the hippest accessories being bought in stalls. Jejemons crave for this. Each wallet has its own design. The wallets can also be used as storage of their Jeje letters to their crushes. Moreover, the Jejewallets act as a normal type of wallet and its bright appearance makes it easier for Jejebusters to detect and catch their own Jejemons.

Pokemon and Jejemon: Which is Which?

It's really hard to distinguish a pokemon from a jejemon. I'm not being sarcastic here. I want everyone to learn how to differentiate both. That's why I decided to write about this interesting and not so obvious distinction.

About their dress code, pokemons wear nothing (except for Jinx and Mr. Mime). They just like being watched bare naked. For them, it means freedom. Nevertheless, Jejemons wear fabulous, colorful clothes relative to the Pokemons. They're famous for wearing Jejecaps, Jeje bags, Jejewallet, etc. The rainbow-colored accessories they wear are their trademark. For them, it also means freedom. Others say it's freaky.

Let's talk about their public appearance. First, pokemons are cute and cuddly. You just can't resist them. They have 2D physique and surrealistic colors. They possess unusual abilities and appeal to us because of their lovely voice. However, they may not be touched unless you see them in toy stores. Nobody has ever seen them alive and kicking on the spot. People who see them really moving are not crazy; instead, they needed to be treated with special care. 

On the other hand, jejemons are the complete opposite. They're pa-cute and sometimes vain (in texting oddly). Just like pokemons, you just can't resist them but to add up, as sources reveal, they're annoyingly irresistible. They have 3D bodies and realistic rainbow colors in their accessories. They possess human abilities (walking, jumping, texting, surfing social networks, etc.). They really appeal to the public, to such an extent that people cry their names out loud on Facebook and tell the Jejemons to stop populating to avoid outnumbering pokemons (now, at 490+) and to lower the rate of their species' inflation. Unlike the pokemons, jejemons can be spotted everywhere in the country. They're text prolongation skill primarily sets them apart from pokemons. Of course, Pokemons don't text but I guess Ash does. People who see them wandering around become crazy trying to figure out the encrypted message sent to them by Jejemons. However, they should be treated nicely because their craziness is temporary (usually occurs 2-3 minutes after reading one Jeje text).

When trained by a pokemon master, pokemons level up. They have many level stages and usually evolve. Conversely, Jejemons train themselves. They do level up, but only have three levels: mild, moderate and severe. Mild jejemons are learning ones; they're like the elementary students in the Jejeworld. Moderate jejemons act as apprentices of severe Jejemons. Severe jejemons are the ones being sought after by modern Jejebusters. The reason is that, severe Jejemons hold the line between the Jejeworld and the real world. Jejebusters fear of the two world colliding which might cause public outrage and Jejemon coup.


The heated conflict between Jejemons and Jejebusters has caused widespread criticism from the Pokemons' side. Pokemon trainers like Ash, Brock and Misty only want to be the very best, like no one ever was, to catch them is their real test, and to train them is their cause. Pokemons become touched knowing that there are some many who would caress and help them grow and evolve. Nonetheless, Jejebusters assure texters singing "if there's something strange in the way they text, who ya gonna call? JEJEBUSTERS!" Jejemons also become touched knowing that some many out there have already caught their attention. And their fame still continues.

Warning: 
NO JEJEMON OR POKEMON WAS NAME-DROPPED IN THE ARTICLE. 
This article is rarely serious, and the author implies that "really" no form of sarcasm was intended. The author appreciates the readers for allotting their time to read the posts. Again, the author emphasizes that this blog was not made to harm or insult anyone living in the planet. This blog acts as a living proof that bored people can make noise out of nothing.

Defending the Jejemons: Upside of the Jeje Vogue

Have you ever realized the enormous stress being inflicted on Jejemons?

Jejemons have feelings too. Forcing them to stop their own mannerisms is like imposing on yourself to be responsible of your nation's future which many have failed to accept in decades. Because if they did, the country should have attained sustainable development this time.

How does it feel when everyone tells you to stop your vices? How does it feel when your parents tell you to pursue a career you do not love? How does it feel to be condemned when you know you have not stepped on anyone's dignity? How would it feel if you were in their position right now? 

Would you accept how people badly treat you for the reason that "you've worked hard to simply beautify  those words"? Would you consider going back to elementary when you're confident enough that you've learned a lot than some people you know? Just by altering and prolonging simple Tagalog words do not necessarily mean you're a retard. What if you were one of them? Did you actually take time to know them?

Is typing the Jeje way more concerning than catching public officials spend money in front of your very own eyes? Is it more alarming than finding a job to support your family's? Is bringing them down the sole effective way to realize that you're superior and wiser than them?

Their prevalence actually dictates their being human. Just like everybody else who lurk in networking sites, post their vanity pictures, and "socialize", they also want to take part in the latest happenings online. Who knows, they might just have the most solid foundation of friendship everyone is trying to seek? Something in their bond must be the reason why they don't bother the growing disgust of the intimidated, conventional ones.

End

The author would like to apologize for the badly constructed article, and ___ thinks it's still incomplete, so wait for further updates. The author would also like to tell everyone that this article was only made to alleviate public rage and does not necessarily reflect the author's full support of Jejemons.

Jejemon Item: The Jeje Bag

The Jeje Bag is any type of bag (sling, backpack, hand-carried) with the following unique characteristics:
a. bright, lively but displeasing appearance, usually presenting the colors of the rainbow
b. can be detected by our built-in Jejedex (but seriously, don't judge too much, maybe you're pointing at the wrong person which could put you to trouble)
c. worn by a Jejemon of whichever gender (Jeje girl, Jeje boy, Jejeding, Jejelesbo, or JejeBI)
d. can be personalized in a Jolog-ish (if there's such a word, lol) manner
e. a Jejemon's priceless possession

 This item is one of the hippest bags in the Jeje world. Buy one and feel the Jeje love!

Call for Photos: Jejemon Fashion

Readers/ viewers are welcome to submit photos of Jejemons in their bling-bling, Jejemon fashion statement. The shots will be posted in a new article to be released soon in JejeDEX. The photos should be original, so please include your site and, if you may want, your name/s slash pen names for acknowledgment. You may also submit photos taken from websites, provided that you ask permission first to use the material and include the site's link.

The article will be used to expose the current Jejemon look. Please be reminded that what will be published are actual photos of real Jejemons. Make sure that what you submit are photos of real-life Jejemons (who text or type the odd way, and not just look like a Jejemon ~~ in case you might just want to know that not all Jumping Jologs are Jejemons).

The article will be made not to insult or hurt their feelings, but to pay tribute to them as one of the living exemplars of the downsides associated with communication technology. The author discourages exposure of the face, so as not to go beyond and invade the person's privacy. The author proudly values the respect of life and human dignity.

Where to submit: dancer.silent@yahoo.com
Deadline of submission: May 3, 2010 - Monday

Jejemon Item: The Jeje Alphabet, Keyboard

Photo Courtesy: NO TO JEJEMONS!!>:)

Filipinos around the world have been so intrigued with the Jejemon world. The Jejemons' ability to prolong words by adding more consonants (e.g. -h, j-, -z) and numbers (1 - i, 4 - A, 3 - E) has inspired people to create new items that would "cater to their needs".

The infiltration of Jejemons in social networking sites has brought forth the Jeje Alphabet which inspired more people to be one of them. Other than recreating their stylized alphabet, Jeje items or collectibles have been detected in different websites. The latest addition to this is the Jeje Blog. To view the page, click here.

Jejemon Items; The Jeje Cap

Photo Courtesy: Tumblr.com user

If you have seen this, then you might have just spotted a true-blooded Jejemon. This item is one of the most catchy accessories you would see in a Jejemon. It comes in varied colors and is often worn loose which somehow irritates people who look at it. The reason is that it defeats the purpose of fashion & appeal. It aggravates one's day, lol, just kidding. This may only apply to some hyper-obsessive compulsive (OC) people.

The Jeje Cap is a type of cap introduced by the Jejemon species alongside other items, like the Jeje scooter, the Jeje shirt, the Jeje fashion statement, the Jeje smile, the Jeje pose, the Jeje footwear, and a lot more Jeje "cool" stuffs. Define cool; it's an overstatement for "cool-ang sa pansin". 


"cNuzUot powhz nMn i2 POhwz kZ mSaYa kMe S gWa nMen."

However, the Jeje Cap as a trademark has always been the source of confidence for Jejemons to reveal themselves and be proud of who they are. It has somehow defied the fear to lock up themselves. Just like a widely-accepted accessory (branded shades, shirt, jeans), the Jeje Cap empowers Jejemons. to slowly  and peacefully introduce themselves to the world. It gives them strength to fight whatever pressure the society is aggressively slashing on them. Widespread Jejemon repression is ongoing in social networking sites and public domains. And, as long as both the Jejemon monspecies and the normal world try to coexist, assert its influence mainstream, and no compromise is made in between, clashes will never end.

The Jeje Cap surely defines their identity and uniqueness. They are hoping that one day everyone would perceive them as normal people. And probably, the most valuable  and suitable solution to their dilemma is to disable their texting skill and use it when everyone would need it most. An exemplary situation would be  the application of code encryption in Filipino communication during wars (no, I didn't mean to say online gaming wars!).
