New or No. Oh NU!Oh NOO

The word is maneuver. It has three syllables which the second one should be STRESSED.

Maneuver. /muh NOO ver/ or  mənuvər (yes, Ramon, it has 2 schwas!)

To help your memory about the 2nd syllable--that is should be uttered LOUD and clear--I have a little mnemonics for you to do--and remember:

The man maneuvers his way inside the two giant culverts (Imagine the 2nd syllable here: NOO. Doesnt it look like the opening of a culvert, right? What is a culvert? Ok, first, you google it. click the images. Let it sink it into your intelligence. Then, do this little mnemonics of mine!)  

Welcome to my pronunCHOItion. I hope this would bring CHOI to the world on you. Remember the CHOIces are in the CHOIllables. Pardon my generous amount of pun!

feeling diaristic

diary #1 my phone. bada bing! it died. there was some numeric command in an ominous dark background. after a few seconds, the background turned light green or was it bluish green. the problem could have been fixed right away, had i seriously read the fine prints. volume down button plus power button. the above nightmare gave me an invaluable lesson.
