Question of the Week: What was the best Christmas (or other holiday) gift you ever received? - Suggested by Alison Can Read

KIMI:

The best gift I've ever received was a laptop! I received it late, like around January, because it was shipped all the way from the USA. Some other notable gifts I've received: a train set, art paint toy thing, and of course angpao (red envelopes with money inside)! :)

Byeeeee guys! *hearts everywhere*

This week's question:

Late April Fools. What was the best prank you’ve played or had played on you? Share!

A: This is a hard question! We've never actually done anything for April Fool's - and that makes us pretty lame. We've always been together every April Fool's, since that's in the summer (here in the Philippines) and all 3 of us usually spend it at our grandparents. We've always had plans to do April Fool's pranks on people in the family, but they never really push through. Maybe next year though! :)

Since we kind of cheated this week, we're sharing one of our favorite pranks instead!

If you guys followed our blog, let us know through the comments, and we'd gladly follow you back! :) We love meeting new bloggers! 

Wibbly Wobbly Wednesdays is a new feature on this blog where we talk about any book that has something to do with the concept of time. The book may be about time travel, set in the past or future, or just has a bizarre timeline. If you are a Whovian, you know what we're talking about! :)

We chose 11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass for our post this week. This has something to do with time and was good too so we decided to place it in our Wibbly Wobbly Wednesdays feature.

Author: Francine Pascal
Mass Market Paperback: 256 pages

My Mother Was Never a Kid is a book which I read a long long time ago back when I was just.. a kid (lol excuse the pun). Honestly, it took me a while to finally remember and retrieve the title of this book but I do remember reading it, maybe because it had Amanda Seyfried's face on the cover (haha really) or because it had a unique plot. Unfortunately, the only thing I remembered about this book is that the story is about a girl who goes in the past and becomes friends with the teenage version of her mom. I asked so many people if there could be a slight chance they knew the title of this but I was unsuccessful! It took a lot of in depth research and stalking for me to finally find the title (thank you Goodreads and Google!) thank God.

When I researched more about this book, I found out that the one I read was just a reprint of the "Hanging out With Cici" the original book published in 1991. I also didn't know that what I read was an old book! They then made a show based on the book, then reprinted it, changing the title to "My Mother Was Never a Kid" so it would fit the show. Cool, huh? Now I want a copy of this book so I could reread it!

I also found out that Francine Pascal is the author of The Sweet Valley High series! Have you guys read or heard of that?

I thought this book is the most apt for our first WWW feature, since aside from the fact it has hints of time travel, it's also literally a blast in the past for me, since I read this so long ago!

Have you read this book? What do you think of our new blog feature? :D

Soupy Sundays is a weekly feature at Geeky Chiquitas, where we write discussion posts about our thoughts, feelings and opinions about certain topics.

We decided to create a weekly feature! YAY! The idea came to mind when we realized how much feelings we had about things, and it was just impossible to keep them bottled inside.

So for the first topic of Soupy Sundays, we have decided to write about the Nice Guy Syndrome.

The Nice Guy Syndrome is a mental condition in which a heterosexual male feels personally victimized by women who don't want to date him, and also perpetuates the belief that women are either evil and/or stupid for choosing "jerks" for their boyfriends. Said "nice guy" feels as if you are obligated to date him just because he is a good listener or opens the door for you, or is basically the perfect 'gentleman' (whatever that even is).

He will say either one of these things and it's better to just completely avoid these kind of people.

1. BUT I WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU

This is one of the most common things nice guys say to make you feel guilty for not choosing them or
even agreeing to date them. Guess what? There's a thing called friendship and just because we are friends and you like me does NOT obligate me to like you back. Friendship does not equal to relationship and you must be delusional to even think that. In fact when "nice guys" start to like you sometimes friendships get destroyed because they accuse you of friendzoning them when in the first place you actually did start out as friends and now he feels as if you owe him a chance at a relationship. Sure, he might have given you advice, helped you with homework, listened to your problems or let you borrow his pencil, but you owe him nothing. The moment nice guy accuses you of leading him on or citing these instances to make you feel bad for rejecting him, GUESS WHAT NICE GUY IS NOT ACTUALLY NICE.

2. YOU ARE A CRUEL BITCH

Have you ever been called cruel or heartless? Nice guy uses this as an excuse for their rejection. They say that there's nothing wrong with him - it's you who's messed up, stupid, or have problems or issues for not liking him back. Nice Guy puts the blame on you, for something you have nothing to do with at all. He thinks that he's perfectly perfect, that if you're not interested in him, you're stupid and have no standards. You are cruel or heartless for not being interested in him. If he asks you out, it's basically impossible for him to accept a 'no' or take a hint that you're not at all interested. Instead, he concludes that you are either, playing hard to get, or are just a cruel, heartless bitch.

3. WHY DO YOU LIKE ASSHOLES AND JERKS

Nice Guy starts to wonder why you're with the guy that you're dating. He can't think of anything that the guy has that nice guy doesn't. They therefore conclude that the guy you are dating is an asshole and that you like to be treated like shit. Nice Guy then thinks that everything would be so much better if you would just date him. First of all, Nice Guy shouldn't conclude that the guy the you are dating is an asshole just because you chose him. He doesn't know everything so he has no right to judge. Second, no one likes to be treated like shit. It's stupid that nice guy would even think that! And lastly, the only reason that Nice Guy thinks the guy you're dating is an asshole is because he thinks that the guy stole you from him. You are not his property. You NEVER showed interest in him in the first place, and you owe him absolutely NOTHING.

4. THEN I SHOULD BECOME AN ASSHOLE
GUESS WHAT? You already are!

If you have said any of these things after getting rejected by a girl, SHUT UP! If you are pushing your niceness as a valid reason why anyone is obligated to like you back, then I'm sorry but you will find yourself in the 'friendzone' or whatever you call it for the rest of your life. Please do not confuse niceness for greatness, smartness, attractiveness or even kindness! Niceness is not a redeeming quality and it will not get you a girlfriend. And if you're still whining about how nice guys always finish last and that women have such bad taste in men, then take the hint: You are not a nice guy, but are actually a misogynistic jerk.

And don't even think about writing us off as misandrists or radical feminists.

Go find a hobby, you.

Beryl and Audrey's Top 5 Movies for Valentine's 

1. The Vow

This is a movie based on a true story of a newlywed couple. We placed this on our list because when we watched it, we were touched by the love of the guy for the girl.

"Life's all about moments, of impact and how they change our lives forever. But what if one day you could no longer remember any of them?"

"If we were meant to be together, we would be together."

2. Notting Hill

We loved this movie because, though the heroine is a famous movie star, she is still human and has human feelings. She gets mad, she feels pain, she falls in love. And come on, who hasn't heard of this iconic line? 

"After all... I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."
