We still call it BLACKBOARD…
July 24th, 2006 by cocoy-000 I have spent more than half of my life at school.. and they say you’ll learn the right things in school… but why do we still call it "Blackboard" …. i mean, i can understand why they call a whiteboard " whiteboard".. coz the logic is simple.. its clearly white.. but Blackboard?.. we all know it’s green right?
Well, according to my "not so" intensive research and 20 minute self realization, people seem to have a problem associating things with colors. like when you ask a little boy what color the water has.. you’ll probably hear some different answers like.. "white?" or "see through?" or if you ask a genius kid he/she would probably ask you back.. " .. in what state.. .frozen? ". Is there a logical explaination to these things? maybe.. heres another thing. Educate me if im wrong but is blonde a color?.. "what color do you want your hair to have?…. ".. reply: " blonde". Maybe im wrong but dont blame me… ive seen crayons with 250 colors but none of them says blonde. : ) .. right?… or worst… the often mistaken color.. you know what im talking about… "STRIPES"… " ok kids.. what is the color of a zebra?… kids: " STRIPES!!!"…. see my point?… " the color for today is stripes"… hahaha… help me!… then there’s the fruit "ORANGE"…. if a mango is green.. you call it green mango.. same goes with the apple… but "GREEN ORANGE"?.. its still orange right?… good thing we pinoys call it dalandan… : ) .. anyway, I would have been bothered much by it if it hadn’t affected this one thing.. one very important thing…. ROMANCE…. you see.. even romance is affected by this misassociation of colors thing…(as i’ve noticed) … remember the familiar line " Roses are red…. violets are blue…."…… violets are blue?….. WHY?????…..
………… because thats LIFE : )
