Are you a NERD?

[jack]

aminin!!!!

[Assassin_Mage]

Frankly yes, I was..

although I did not have the trademark glasses and sickly body that nerds are stereotyped for. I was a complete nerd in the dictionary sense.

And oddly enough, I was also the one who dated our campus' most sought after girls.
Think not? It is true.

[petopetopower]

Ako! ako!

[Denise`]

Sometimes I think I am... :p

[Maverick]

no, i'm not. they used to think i am, until i showed by crazy side. :D

[Ira]

Nope. I was one of the wilder ones. Kaya it came as a total shock to my friends that I entered med school (and actually graduated!). :D

[sampaguita]

Really Ira? I never would've guessed! :p

As for me, I was. Lemme emphasize that "was". College screwed me over. :D

[basho]

My sister says I am, so I must be one

[tr|n|ty]

hehehe..closet nerd DAW
high school damaged me..became a major slacker..then in college, i just decided to just do some major kick *** studying since sending me to school over here cost my 'rents an arm and a leg :D not a total nerd..i still have a lot of fun..too much fun and shopping sometimes ;) but i do above decent

[Jennifer]

that's the first impression other people have on me :D Weird though, 'cause I don't feel, act, and think like a nerd!

[Y2K-G_21]

NOPE!!!!!

[ziggyboy]

not exactly.

computer nerd, pwede pa.

[acridmouth]

Uhm, di naman...They said I was a nerd because I love books. Duh. Hindi naman, di ba?

[blue babe]

*sheepish grin* yes...

[Chilli]

hmmm...it's nice to see that most of you guys admitted..i mean for some reason, in our society, it's a crime to be considered or even associated with nerds :) especially in highschool.blame it on Clueless, blame it on some weird mentality, blame it on the rain, for all you want.but i have yet to see the day that it's the nerds who are deemed high society,the untouchables and the ones who are occupying the status benches in school. however, back to the topic, i wasn't a nerd in hs, i was actually one of the "bench" girls. now that im in college however, i'm starting to regret that i wasn't one! god, my blockmates are really SMART!and i'm up to my *** trying to keep up with them!! :)

Nerdiness is a state of mind. :)
God bless all the nerds of the world, especially the biggest nerd of them all... without whom we will still be "windows"-less.

[alleycat]

I'm a nerd. You know, the type who reads Star Trek, loves Math, reads those thick Science books, babbles about stories of cosmic proportions... but I don't wear glasses.

[Gilbey]

YES!!! I have a lot of writing instruments, never do go out without them. I have the mandatory checkered polos... and the brandmark thick eye glasses - i am myopic at 3.00 grade.

i read a lot and graduated with honors....

[Spanky]

I used to be a nerd in grade school: teacher's pet, no friends, fat, smart, top of the class....then one day.....everything changed.....I woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and realized...I was not a nerd anymore...I had become....a dork. ;p

[JDS]

:) lol...spanky

No, I'm more of a geek than a nerd.

[Ada]

So tell me, what's the difference between a geek, a nerd and a dork?

[PUGSLEY]

I used to be a NERD but now am a K-N-U-R-D!!! (fyi:read backwards) :D

[jack]

i asked therefore i am . :) well...maybe a cool nerd

[Orion D.]

It's COOL to be a NERD!!!! (di ba Migs? :) )

NERDS RULE!!!!!! :)

[angelU]

nung hs ako kala ko nerd ako kasi masipag ako mag-aral. ngayon sa college, ang daming masmatalino sa kin at masmasipag mag-aral. sabi nga ni Chilli, hindi gaanong sikat ang mga nerds, pero sa highschool lang yon. lalo na ngayong moderno na ang mundo, palaki nang palaki ang pagpapahalaga sa talino (ex. bill gates), kaya ok lang maging nerd.

[mparaz]

orion: cool huh?!

well I dunno, it depends on peoples' classification. for my self-rating:

I'm a nerd coz I wear glasses, am unfit (well, fat), and am stuck to the computer
whole day long.

On the other hand, I'm quite sociable and extroverted, unlike the stereotypical nerd being the shy type.

so, which is which?

[Bostsip]

When i was in Grade School i thought that being a nerd was a compliment. It meant that you studied hard and got the high grades. I longed to be called a nerd then.

But in High School I learned that it's far from being a compliment. Unfortunately I went to an exclusive girls school where looks and porma matter more that substance. I was respected because i got the high grades and i could help those pathetic air heads out of their academic failure. Aside from that I KNEW they were making fun of me behind my back.

Now that i've graduated in College I look back and just laugh everything off. The Nerds are the ones who usually succed in life (look at Bill Gates) because they constantly feel the need to prove themselves worthy in society. I know so because i just graduated Magna cum Laude from UP..and my inspiration is to prove to everyone that nerd don't end up messed up. I am respected because I am respectable :-)

yun lang!

[alleycat]

Is it a sin to be a nerd?

[blue babe]

i think there are two kinds of nerds, the nerds who study a lot and the nerds who like nerdy stuff. i'm more of the second kind. i don't study at all... but i LOVE reading. i like math and science. pati nga anak ko, reading and being read to is on top of his list of favorite things to do. yes... over and above cartoons, toys and swimming... :D

[mparaz]

blue babe: it's good your kid is starting to read so early. the kids of today don't know how to read anymore, they just watch TV and play Playstation and video games :(

[savage-]

http://www.pinoyexchange.com/blush.gif nerds rule!!! wheheheeh http://www.pinoyexchange.com/blush.gif

[CaRaMBa]

Nope, I don't think so. :)

[JDS]

Ada: I'm not really sure what's the difference, but I think being a nerd has more to do with one's interests and intellect, so one can be considered a nerd and still be cool. A geek, on the other hand, has more to do with a lack in social skills, while a dork is goofy and weird. So, I guess a nerd can help you out in school, while a geek can be your goofy friend that makes you laugh, and a dork can be that one weird person that annoys you.

[alleycat]

Hey!
nerds are humans too

[:Þ]

heck yeah!!! Egon Spengler style!

Nerds yata ang lapitan ng mga chicks lalo na pag kelangan ng sagot sa Homework/Tests..

.... and to the fact na "nerds" make more money than "bulakbuleros"...

".. what'd you wanna do - wannabe hacker? code cracker, slacker? wastin all the time with all the chatrooms, yakker?. nine to five chillin at Hewlett Packard..." Nerds rules!!!

-Weird AL Yankovic

[jack]

OO nga naman, marunong rin yung mga babae mag-take advantage sa mga nerds.

conclusion: if YOU WANT TO GET GIRLS , BE A NERD ;)

[Russel Micheal Stuart III]

ewan ko ba kapag graduate ka ng MASCI eh ang taas ng tingin sa iyo. actually nahihiya nga ako kapag bumabagsak ako tapos alam nila na galing ka doon sa isang nerdy school tulad niyan dahil alam mo na mataas ang expectations nila sa iyo dahil matalino kang bata.

pero, hindi ako nerd, naging masipag lang ako mag-aral dahil inspired ako.

Baket? (magandang tanong...)

dahil busted ako sa nililigawan ko kaya gantihan na lang running for honors.

[Lightspeed]

I think it's kinda cool to be either a GEEK or a NERD nowadays. In places like Silicon Valley and Wall Street, I know that the ones who drive the flashiest Porsches, BMWs and Lexus cars are the nerds, not the jocks. It is because they comprise the bulk of the 24 to 27 year old billionaires' club of the Tech Economy.

[neth_row]

onga....sana maging nerd ako :D

[Russel Micheal Stuart III]

ang hirap naman kasing maging nerd eh....

what you need is a lot of luck para mas madali...pero chances are lagi kang talo...

so wala lang... ganoon din. kailangan mo na lang ng maraming brains!

[jack]

have u ever fell in love to a NERD????
or have u ever tried duping a nerd?

[grais]

theres just something so attractive to intellectuals, i think thats why girls approach the so-called nerds.

[Yoshi]

Though I may have "non-nerd" interests (such as dancing and singing), I would still consider myself as one. I don't have any qualms about it. :D

Slightly off-topic, but Ada, paki-add naman ng "nerd" smiley. It kinda looks like me, eh. :)

[Ferris]

Yes! I WAS a Nerd. Pero di na ngayon. Nung 4th yr HS ako, I was the 5th when we graduated. When I started to study in La Salle, my brain started to turn me down. 6 units of failure na ang accumulations ko. Maybe, mataas lang talaga ang standard ng DLSU. Kailangan lang mag-adjust ng brain ko. My friend told me puwede pa raw bumalik ang pagka-nerd ko if I'll study very hard this time.
Actually, my organization kaming magkakabarkada. It's called THE NERDS CLUB. Kasi kaming lahat magkakabarkada, mga NERDS sa former school even in our own colleges(?). I'm so doubtful in my case.

[Ferris]

*****NERDS VS BULLIES******

Anyway, since our topic is about being NERD, I know you have a lot of experiences na binubully kayo or tinutukso. How did you overcome that? Was there an incident na naging palaban na talaga kayo sa mga nangbubully sa inyo? As in hindi na kayo nagpaapi!!! http://www.pinoyexchange.com/boom.gif Share naman. I have lots of experiences when it comes to that matter. I really can't forget the time when my co-nerd friend was ridiculed about the THICKNESS OF HER EYEGLASSES. Natawa ako pero I felt guilty in the end. Wawa naman. Magkabuni sana yung nanukso sa aming mga MATATALINO. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/grrr.gif

[big_bote]

How do you define NERD?

[Ferris]

For me, NERD is a personality wherein you devote yourself in studies. To be a nerd, it requires intelligence. You don't have to wear thick eyeglasses, be bullied, or be out of fashion. Traditional nerd iyon. But since we're now in the 21st century, hindi na pahuhuli ang nerds. I now define it with just two words, MATALINO at NAKAKA-RELATE.

[trish1201]

well...in grade school i used to be one, as in totally inaasar, pinagtatawanan and everything,specially cos i was such a crybaby back then(yeah, hanggang grade 6 iyakin pa rin)pero basta pagdating sa assignments sa english and reading, biglang babait ang mga nangaasar sa akin...yon pala magpapturo o mangongopya lang.
high school, i changed kse mas naging understanding ang mga barkada ko dun...well i'll call m'self a semi nerd, kse may nangaasar pa rin noon kahit pa sabihing ako ang pinakamataas na CAT officer na babae at the time.lone wolf for the first few months, tapos na-accept din ako ng mga classmates ko at naging barkada na kami...till now.
in college, back to the old lone wolf personality.hirap **** kalimutan ang hs life, grabe.

[clawed_out]

without the nerds who will get to rule the world? yung mga walang alam kung hindi magpaporma lang(kasi hanggang dun lang ang alam nila. while the nerds after some time, the nerds get to dress the same as those papormas. and ONLY BETTER cause we've got better brains!)....

http://www.pinoyexchange.com/nerd.gif

[Laryh]

Some people think that I am a nerd coz' I wear eyeglasses, and sometimes, I just don't care on how I wear my hair. I just let it loose and everything. But truth is, I'm not. I'm a loudmouth and all that. Some people see me as "maangas" while some think that I'm a snob.
Well, our world can be a better place to live in if we'll stop labelling things...

[Laryh]

People are just being labelled or called nerd coz' they don't act like "them"(let's say, the popular circle). But the truth is, most of the nerdy types are also good-looking. Problem is, they just don't give a damn on how they look like. They don't worry about their physical appearance. Like...me (I guess... ;) ;))

[Ferris]

Sarap ding maging nerd. Lahat ng teachers or even the principal, may tiwala sa iyo. Ako super trusted nila. PAti nga password ng computer nila alam ko eh. Pero I keep it confidential ha.

[Noesis]

Nobody has called me a nerd until high school. I really hate it.

[DaNa8]

I wasn't one. I guess I'm the average type.

[clawed_out]

its always like that..

the nerds vs the bullies....but as to be expected...bullies in the end make more...they tend to save the best for last...

kung pormahan lang din eh kaya nilang humabol sa "in" crowd, with the money their earning!!while the bullies end up in the dumps...

[Jacob]

Once a nerd, always a nerd.

Yes I am proud to say I am one.
Please indulge me with this little story:
Eversince I was a little boy, I love to read. Comics, encyclopedia, Hardy Boys, etc. Masaya ako kung libro ang regalo sa akin. NERD talaga. Pero tinago ko ang pagka-nerd ko nung high school dahil gusto kong maging popular sa girls at hindi maapi nang mga bullies. Hindi ko na sinamahan ang mga Grade School friends ko kahit imbitahan nila akong mag D&D. Hindi cool e. Determined ako maging "popular". Partially-successful ako dahil naging GF ko nung HS, school muses (HONEST!). Pero konti lang ang naging friends ko. When I entered college, doon ka na-realize na being true to what you are is more important than the masks you wear. Kaya ngayong may trabaho ako at may sariling pera, balik RPG, Magic, Fantasy books at anu-ano pang hindi ko ginawa while in High School (pero ginagawa sa bahay), ang ginagawa ko ngayon. Buti na lang my wife was also a closet NERD in HS.

With that story, naiintindihan ko ang mga closet QUEENS... Ngiiii!

NERDS RULE THE WORLD!

Masyado namang touching-but-inspiring ang story mo. Pero nung HS ako, despite of my being a nerd, I didn't have a GF. It only reached until Mutual Understanding though my feelings ako for this cute girl. Sa akin pa siya nagpapaturo sa Physics and Trigonometry. I'm tho one who refused to enter this relationship coz once you fall in love at the wrong time, pati studies mo magagawa mong i-give up just to please a girl. May mga girls that don't let their BFs devote with ther studies WHOLEHEARTEDLY. Magseselos kasi sila - rival between GIRL VS. Books,notebooks,Pens,etc. 100% sure talo na agad ang girl if . . . :confused:

[Buray]

Nah, I ain't a genuine nerd. But I respect "nerds" and I don't like teasing them etc. Some of them are on whole new level, and just because something else interests them doesn't mean they're not normal.

[Bostsip]

*bump*

wala ako magawa so i keep bumping threads
hihihihi

[JoYcE`TiK]

i dunno. i'm pabaya with school but i keep up. what does that make me? nerd in disguise?

[toji]

nerds are just what other people who have nothing good to do call geniuses.

its ok to be a nerd, many good people are nerds. many nice-looking people are really nerds. many social and friendly people are nerds.

so who isn't a nerd, so far i don't know any.

[d0rky]

I'm a dork! :bungi:

[neueziel]

I wish I was or would be a nerd. Unlike in high school, you need to be a nerd in college

[osama_terorista]

mga tsong sikreto lang ha!!!! nerd din ako!!!!!:p

[11# UST_guard'98]

YES.....And I'm not ashame of it!!! Naku lalo na nong nasa HS pa ako... grabe...
