Moving On

I'm moving... well my blog is anyway. Well not my blog. I am... or my thoughts are. Okay I'm rambling again. What I'm trying to say is I won't be posting here anymore. To those who have been following this blog (although I have no idea if there is anyone following this blog) I shall be moving to my livejournal account:

HERE

I realized how I can't separate my fangirling from my RL (real life) because it has tangled up quite nicely. I'm at another turning point in my life right now. It seems rather cheesy but fangirling means so much more to me at the moment. And I'm enjoying it so much.

I'm just moving on to another phase of my life (and to think I just moved in here a few months ago... oh well). Hope to see you there!

The Jellyfish Files Part 2

There's still more. And this takes place around 6 in the morning...

I had a little breakthrough with another problem that emerged from our paper. I was solving at 4 in the morning. Take note 4 IN THE MORNING I was faced with the ANOVA.

The Jellyfish Files Part 1

For some unknown reason, Apa and I have the same brain waves over a lot of things. And since we have bonded over the last semester, my jellyfish and I have had the most interesting, idiotic and downright hilarious conversations (in my opinion anyway). And since YM has the lovely save conversation thing going on I am pulling off a few quotes from it.

While going through a psychotic report:

apatots_26: shet.
nikki080488: pota
apatots_26: implied gender lang talaga.. kahit sa study yan at phonology lang ang factors....
nikki080488: The implied gender factors (male and female) changed in the interpretation of the subjects.
apatots_26: si mam, gusto niyang malaman kung ano yung implied gender..
nikki080488: oo inalis ko na muna yung dolls...
nikki080488: yun nga e kailangan natin masagot lang sa kanya...
nikki080488: try natin figure out tomorrow
apatots_26: sure....
apatots_26: nicole ah.. talagang pota!
nikki080488: it's the way the name is read i think
apatots_26: hahaha!
nikki080488: hahaha

The emergence of a secret language:

apatots_26: implied gender....
apatots_26: parang indirect kasi yun...
apatots_26: hay ewan!
nikki080488: oo nga e
apatots_26: feeling ko nasa visual chorva yan eh..
nikki080488: uulitin ko ulit... POTA.
nikki080488: haha
apatots_26: hahaha!

Grown ups??

nikki080488: parang it's either male or female
nikki080488: depending on the experiment depending on the dolls
nikki080488: na pinakita natin
nikki080488: or should i say the names
apatots_26: yeah.. it changes depending on the interpretation of the participant nikki080488: yun yung experimental manipulation natin
nikki080488: she-et di ko aakalain gagamitin ko yang words na yan
nikki080488: "experimental manipulation"
nikki080488: scary
apatots_26: nosebleed!
apatots_26: hahaha!
apatots_26: she-ET talaga...
apatots_26: fowtah!
nikki080488: o.O i like that
nikki080488: fowtah
nikki080488: haha
apatots_26: kung yun ang experimental manipulation, then hindi factor ang gender?
apatots_26: . . .
apatots_26: FOWTAH talaga

The battle cry...

apatots_26: inferring GENDER from name PHONOLOGY..
apatots_26: cge, hayaan mo na yan...
nikki080488: FOWTAH!
nikki080488: wait wait alisin ba natin to parang redundant... Finally, there were six conditions in this experiment for both the male and the female gender.
apatots_26: oo.. alisin na yan.. siya lang nagpasabi niyan eh...
apatots_26: FOWTAH..
apatots_26: battle cry na yang fowtah ah...

Lost in translation my dear...

apatots_26: fowtah she-Et!
apatots_26: tanggalin na natin yung last part... yung finally part...
apatots_26: nakakaloko.. sabi niya kasi i-identify daw na may six conditions...
nikki080488: gawin nating... there were six conditions in this experiment
apatots_26: e di lagay naman akong engot.
nikki080488: for....
nikki080488: the factors?
nikki080488: for the two factors?
nikki080488: FOWTAH
apatots_26: wait lang. lost in translation.
apatots_26: natatawa ako pag nakikita ko yang all caps n a FOWTAH
nikki080488: Finally, there were six conditions in this experiment for the two factors
nikki080488: hahaha
apatots_26: hmmm...
apatots_26: puwede na yun....

Dreaming of answers...

apatots_26: haven't eaten dinner.. hahah! surprisingly full...
apatots_26: ... hmmm.
apatots_26: sana mapanaginipan ko ang sagot.
nikki080488: haha

Hate and not studying...

apatots_26: i hate her.
apatots_26: ....
nikki080488: eto yung experiment na nandun sa notes natin sa chapter 7...
nikki080488: yung two factors
nikki080488: content and speaker's voice
nikki080488: ang hinahanap yung effect sa shadowing
apatots_26: huwaat nicole?!
apatots_26: wala pa kong nabubuklat kahit isa...
apatots_26: sana wag na magpaklase si mam mendoza...\
nikki080488: yun nga e
apatots_26: have mercy on us!
nikki080488: wait i'm thinking out loud lang

Almost got it...

nikki080488: some will hear pronunciation of the male variation
nikki080488: some will hear the female
apatots_26: tumpak!
apatots_26: kopyahin na, kopyahin!
nikki080488: some will hear pronunciation of the implied male variation in terms of stress
nikki080488: FOWTAH breakthrough!
nikki080488: haha
nikki080488: so how are we going to say this?
apatots_26: baka makadiskubre tayo ng antidote sa comatose nito pare!
nikki080488: haha oo nga e

Banzai!

apatots_26: eto, yung six conditions... pakita raw...
nikki080488: gets na natin... haha
apatots_26: yay!
apatots_26: yay!
apatots_26: O:-)
apatots_26: banzai!
nikki080488: sabihin mo naman sa akin yung six conditions type ko na dito..
nikki080488: banzai!
apatots_26: eto na..
apatots_26: yehey!
apatots_26: whole day holy thursday!
nikki080488: hehehe
nikki080488: yung layout nga namin ni paula ginawa ko tuesday dahil ayaw ko sa thursday hindi pwede
nikki080488: hehe
apatots_26: nako. nicole talaga. teka. diba pinarinig ni meg lahat sa respondents niya yung nasa list 1...

nikki080488: yun na confirm ko kay meg... 5 heard yung isang list
nikki080488: Oo. Ü fliping a coin gnwa kong random assignment
nikki080488: at nag flip siya ng coin para dun...
nikki080488: anyway...
apatots_26: ... sensya na... kinausap ako ng tita ko kanina...
nikki080488: yah ok lang
apatots_26: ayun, parang nagegets ko na...
nikki080488: sige try... kasi yung utak ko bumibigay na
nikki080488: comatose na apatots coma na
apatots_26: ahmmm.. 5ng girls ba? yung respondents?
nikki080488: haha

nikki080488: yes 5 girls and 5 boys
nikki080488: oo morgue na talaga
nikki080488: hindi na nga ako nakareview...
nikki080488: so do not like this
apatots_26: dapat wala ng pysch eh..
apatots_26: she-Et fowtah!
nikki080488: FOWTAH
apatots_26: hahaha! nicole talaga.
nikki080488: haha

Hangman

apatots_26: i did understand, pero hindi ko alam kung pano irerephrase for the 6treatment conditions
nikki080488: yun nga e hangman nanaman tayo
apatots_26: yey, hangman!
apatots_26: hahaha!
nikki080488: another word
apatots_26: dictionary is expanding...
apatots_26: okay, back to reality na...

This conversation never seems to end.

apatots_26: some heard pronunciation of the implied male variation in terms of stress, while some heard female variation. ?????
nikki080488: oo tama
nikki080488: wag natin ispecify yung numbers
nikki080488: nakuha mo na!
apatots_26: yep....
nikki080488: tumpak!
apatots_26: hmmmm.. my fingers are already stiff...
apatots_26: morgue.. morgue..
apatots_26: hahaha!
nikki080488: my brains gone stiff
nikki080488: LOL
nikki080488: hangman pare
nikki080488: or should i say my brains gone numb
apatots_26: hangman talaga!!! iniisip ko kasi pag inispecify natin yung number ng respondents, baka maconfuse yung readers.....

And the quote that took it all...

apatots_26: some heard pronunciation of the implied male variation in terms of stress, number of syllables and final phoneme, while some heard female variation.
apatots_26: i think that would suffice...
nikki080488: Yes...
nikki080488: FOWTAH it took us two hours to come up with one freakin sentence!
apatots_26: hahahaha!!!!!
nikki080488: :))
apatots_26: natatawa ako tae...
apatots_26: =))
nikki080488: yun nga e
nikki080488: tawanan na lang
nikki080488: yan ang quote of the night
apatots_26: some heard pronunciation of the word FOWTAH in terms of stress, number of syllables and final phoneme, while some heard female variation.
nikki080488: =))
nikki080488: yan ang shoutout ko sa ym ngayon... tignan mo... hehehe
nikki080488: should i say status message pinalitan ko hahaha
apatots_26: hahaha!!!
apatots_26: loka loka ka...
nikki080488: buang na ko apa buang na
apatots_26: well at least diba we get to laugh after two hours...
nikki080488: oo nga e
nikki080488: So wait... ganito na siya lalabas...
nikki080488: The design used for this experiment fits a 2x3 factorial design, with two factors namely: implied gender and phonology. The first factor is phonology and the second factor is the implied gender. Three levels of the phonological cues were present: stress, number of syllables and final phoneme. Two levels of implied gender were also present: male and the female gender. In the six treatment conditions, some subjects heard the pronunciation of the implied male variation in terms of stress, number of syllables and final phoneme, while some heard female variation of the three phonological cues.
apatots_26: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee boy!
apatots_26: FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWTAH!

Yes it took us two freakin hours trying to reconstruct one freakin sentence. And in the end, after the headache and frustration we just laughed it off. Miss you jellyfish! :P
