1. (lala).
2. (lala.) which one is correct? i usually put the period after the parenthesis because that's the 'correct' way i've been taught; however, i have seen people use the second way. which one do you guys do it and which one is the right one? |

the period goes outside of the parenthesis to be grammatically correct. and that's the way I've always done it

Well I do it both ways, I just don't bother to pay attention at times, but I'd have to say the first way is correct.
