Jejemon: the new species in town

 Evolution is at work. And the number one victim is not the old generation dealing with the final course of biting the dust, but the youth population. From jologs to EMO's, and now jejemons--the new species in town.

And yes, they are scientifically true: the word Jejemon (Jejemonus Filiponensis) came from the Philippines, and is a variation of homo-sapiens sub-species Jeje. But originally Jeje is a native of Latin America.

Another club, another society, another nuisance: basically jejemons are the youngsters too diligent enough to write extremely long and incorrectly-spelled words just to say hi.

 

 But let's not be too subjective: I still believe people are humanely balanced by possessing both positive and negative attributes.

Let's admit it: the jejebet or jejenese (jejemon alphabet, which is composed of both the English alphabet and counting numbers) illustrates creativity and a lot of diligence, as jejemons tend to blend letters and numbers to promote their langauge.

Plus the word itself spells another historical breakthrough of the country's contribution in the English dictionary (aside from boondocks and imeldific).

Apparently, there is still a lot to reconsider regarding their laws of the jungle. Unlike the bizarre and tolerable custom of jologs and EMO's, the jejemon's basic principle and identity of writing English or Filipino words incorrectly is simply unacceptable. And this basic issue has yet to make their chain of existence longer.

Due to the jejemon's habitual use of exaggerated words, this would affect word and spelling literacy of Rizal's "pag-asa ng bayan." And it highly go down to the cases of their college courses and future jobs--which leads to the biggest picture: the country's economic trend.

Lastly, the existence of jejemon in the youth society simply defines their apathy towards real learning, and maybe this is the worst case scenario for their own kind.

Evolution is at work. And evolution is not always something good out of change. After all, at this point of complete consciousness, we make our own evolution.
