...Jejemon From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jejemon (Tagalog pronunciation: [ˈdʒɛdʒɛmon]) is a pop culture phenomenon in the Philippines. According toUrban Dictionary a Jejemon is a person "who has managed to subvert the English language to the point of incomprehensibility."[1][dead link] The Philippine Daily Inquirer describes Jejemons as a "new breed ofhipster who have developed not only their own language and written text but also their own subculture and fashion."[2] with "-mon" meant as "monster," hence "jeje monsters."[3] Origins The origins of short-handed typing was through the short messaging service, in which each text message sent by a cellphone is limited to 160 characters. As a result, an "SMS language" developed in which words were shortened in order to fit the 160-character limit. However, some jejemons are not really "conserving" characters; instead, they are lengthening their message.[4] On April 14, 2010, on a Pinoy Tumblr, a post about vice presidential candidate Jejomar Binay indicated that he was the Jejemon's preferred vice presidential candidate, complete with a fake poster with him called as "Jejemon Binay." Later the use of word jejemon to refer to such people made rounds in various Filipinointernet message boards.[4] Such short-handed language is not limited to Filipinos: Thais use "5555" to denote "hahahaha," sincethe number 5 in Thai language is pronounced as "ha."[2] Demographics The Jejemons are said to be the new jologs, a term used...

Background of the Study Language is very important in our life. It is used to express our thoughts and ideas to communicate with others. In this modern era, language changes constantly. The language that we use today is getting wider and wider. Nowadays, youth; especially students are fond of using cyber gadgets like cell phones and computers to convey their messages and through these, they learned how to cope and change the way they convey their thoughts and ideas in different forms. Indeed, English proficiency is one of the important things that we need to practice. The proper usage of both Filipino and English language is one of the important aspects of Philippine education. Correct grammar, syntax and pronunciation are the main concerns of improving our language proficiency to maintain an effective communication locally and internationally, but due to the continuous development of language, the emergence of Jejemon words became a phenomenon in the Philippines...

...and passive voice. However, with the emergence of the jejemon languages, educational authorities are trying to convey its effect on the students. According to UrbanDictionary.Com, it is anyone with a low tolerance for correct punctuation, syntax and grammar. This definition is limited to the linguistic style of Jejemons. But in reality, Jejemon is a new breed of hipsters who have developed not only their own language and written text but also their own sub-culture and fashion. For brevity, I will limit this article to Jejemon language, which for lack of grammatical “canon” on how to call it, I will call it the “Jejenese” and their alphabet, “Jejebet. The Jejenese is not just confined to Pinoy Jejemons. Just before I wrote this, I played “Warcraft” and found a European opponent who enjoys typing “jejejeje” in a very wide context, much to my disdain as he sabotages my online quests. Another group of foreign Jejemons, although their Jejemonism seems so trivial to actually classify them as Jejemons, are the Thais who type “hahaha” this way: “5555.” You will see a lot of these in your Thai friend’s Facebook status messages. Since, the number 5 translates to “ha” in Thai, as explained by my friend Pakorn Dokmai. I’m sure many of you have personal encounters with other foreign Jejemons, be in Manila or abroad. So we can assume that Jejemon is a worldwide phenomenon. Text messaging is the first ever evidence that the Jejemons are not just fictional creatures; they really emerge...

...http://jejedex.blogspot.com/2010/06/jejemon-history-how-it-all-began.html Jejemon History: How It All Began Several years ago, a lot of the youth joined text messaging clans while others played online MMORPG games like Ragnarok, Flyff, and Gunbound. Some, with the urge to find and get to know people of all ages online, joined in social networks like Friendster and Multiply. At that time, Friendster was in while Facebook was not what it turned out to be at present. Due to the necessity of having to relay a message abruptly so as not to be delayed in action (while playing, texting or commenting), they tried to make messages they type really short to an extent that every word was internally altered using numbers to creatively displace letters that would still make the words readable. Of course, Jejemonism was not that intense and obvious at that time. It took a longer time before the more educated ones realized that something's not right and one thing has to be done - to abide by what is being conventionally dictated by society. At that moment, many of the younger generation became adapted to this kind of typing style for they really thought that it was somehow cool, manageable and widely accepted within their age range. It was the new hip at that time, but as it grew out of nowhere, concerned academic people took this as a threat to the educational standards. In time, Jejemonism became the latest source of boiling social debates. As time propelled and confusion arose, people...

...Depleting Body Image: The Effects of Female Magazine Models on the Self-esteem and Body Image of College-age Women Influence of Magazines on College-Age Females’ Body Image Millions of women every day are bombarded with the media’s idea of the “perfect” body. These unrealistic images are portrayed in women’s magazines all over the country. The message being sent to women is that they are not pretty or skinny enough. The average American woman is 5’4” and weighs 140 pounds, while the average American model is 5’11” and weighs 117 pounds. Annually, magazine companies spend billions of dollars on diet and exercise advertisements to put in their magazines. Magazines sell body dissatisfaction to their readers through unrealistic images of women, as well as dieting and exercise information. Thirty years ago, Marilyn Monroe, a size 14, had the “ideal” body shape and size, but today’s standard is much smaller. As the beauty ideal continues to get smaller in our society, body image within American women continues to plummet. Magazines portray and compare happiness with being thin; therefore some feel if they are not thin, then they are not happy. As with women of all ages, many college-age women are believed to hold unrealistic ideals of body shape and size, ideals that can be both physically and emotionally unhealthy. Our study, focused on women who attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison that are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four. We wanted to identify the specific...

Kanina lamang po, habang ako’y kumakain ng aking agahan ay narinig ko ang awiting “Uso pa ba ang harana? Marahil ikaw ay nagtataka…” Marahil, marami sa ating lalo na sa mga kabataang tulad ko ang natawag ang pansin sa awiting ito ng “Parokya ni Edgar”. Oo nga naman, sa panahon kung saan lahat na ng bagay sa paligid ay moderno – telebisyon, radyo, kompyuter, “cellphone” … uso pa ba ang harana? Sino nga ba ang hindi magtataka at magugulat kung minsan isang gabi, ika’y makaririnig sa tapat ng inyong bintana ng mga “aawitan kita”. Sa isang banda, ito’y kakaiba, samantalang sa kabila naman, wika nila, ito’y luma na at kakornihan lamang. Mula noong ako’y bata pa, madalas ng maikwento sa akin ng lola kung paano siya sinuyo at napaibig ng aking lolo. Nakatutuwa ang kanyang mga kwento at aniya’y mahaba at matagal ding panahon bago makamit ni lolo ang “matamis na oo”. Ngayon, walang kapawis-pawis. Bahala na si daliring taba sa pagpindot. Papiso-pisong text lang ang katapat, “oo na kaagad”. Mga kaibigan, minsan tuwing ako’y titingin sa salamin, ay naitatanong ko sa aking sarili kung sino nga ba ako bilang isang Pilipino.

...The Effects in Language Proficiency of Being A Jejemon Chapter I Introduction According to The Philippine Daily Inquirer and Urban Dictinoary, a Jejemon belongs to a new breed of hipster who have not only developed their own fashion and stereotype, but also subverted the English language to the point of incomprehensibility. This change in language often results in general confusion between Jejemons and other people who are used to normal English or Filipino. In a society where misunderstandings are commonplace, the effects of being a Jejemon on spelling and grammar have an important role in basic communication. Nevertheless, individual differences must be considered when determining whether Jejemons affect communication or not. Statement of the problem The researchers’ purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of being a Jejemon in their spelling and grammar with respect to: 1. Age 2. Hours spent in social media 3. Filipino & English language These so-called Jejemons might be reverted to normal by limiting their usage of the Internet or social medias, cellphones and other gadgets, and by letting them read proper textbooks or literature-related works either English or Filipino for them to be corrected and to take them away from their own style of writing. The researchers would like to know how many Jejemons are now present, who are they, what are their personal backgrounds, why they switched onto this from a normal person, and how are they...

...THE STATUS OF JEJEMON LANGUAGE: IT’S IMPACT TO ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF THE LEARNERS INTRODUCTION The jejemon phenomenon has stirred emotions and raging debates. And whether it is a menace to language or the wellspring of youthful creativity, it pays to take a moment or two of objective reflection before simply declaring it as just another nuisance that must be stamped out. The jejemon culture spreads rapidly bringing out both good and bad reactions in the educational setting. As a new language that is made up of mostly symbols and phonetics, it alarmed the Department of Education in the Philippines. Mona Valisno, a representative of DepEd told parents to keep their kids from falling into the Jejemontrap before they forget how to spell the actual words in English or Filipino. As a conclusion to this remark on jejemon, the issue became the center of educational debate especially in the secondary education particularly the public schools in the Philippines. The term jejemon is derived from “jejeje” and Pokemon. “Jejeje” is the linguistic representation of laughter in Spanish. The “jejeje” variant is preferred among Jejemons as they use it in their text messges rather than the typical “hehehe” variant. The”mon” in Jejemon is borrowed from Pokemon.
