Clearance Time

It's the week of completing our exit clearance which means that vacation is drawing nearer and nearer. While vacation is one of the things I usually go excited about, this time it feels as if I don't want to have it. With the uncertainty of my transferring, I don't know if these would be the same faces that I will see next year. I still have some hope of convincing my parents to let me stay, and thanks to my friends, I realized that my stay here in SIS isn't really worthless. Some became emotional when I gave signs of leaving.

The teachers are busy finishing and computing the grades of the students so it's hard to get their signatures. Some who had time to write in our clearance made us do crazy things. T. Brad made us sing the SIS Hymn. T. Alvin made us recite "Vengeance" in a trio, where Kaye skipped a few paragraphs and we had to continue on the part she skipped to. Then she was saying "not yet" when she was the one who jumped to the next part. Dr. Chikkie asked us about our boyfriends when we don't have any from the very beginning. I just wonder what came into his mind. I was forced to admit my crush on an elementary classmate XD

Now, we are allowed to use the computers for whatever purpose we want. And yes, that is what I am doing right now. I'm restraining my self from going into neopets.com because that's playing and I am not really sure if that is still allowed.

I'm waiting for T. Andre's souvenir because he said that he will still look for something. He gave Camille a jacket and Ate Mae a mug. I wonder if he finds any--I think he has given everything he has XD Gomen ne, Onee-chan, demo I cannot ask T. Andre for you since he isn't giving me anything yet haha.

It seems like all I am doing now is waiting. I'm waiting for the teachers to become available to sign my clearance, for T. Andre to give me a souvenir, for the last issue of the school newsletter, for the grades and probably for the end of this great school year.

Sad News After Another

I asked my mom about transferring me to another school. She said she will. I tried reasoning with her but she told me the benefits of graduating in a public school with many students: scholarship, activities and stuff. I was dumbfounded. All the things I planned to say before I talked to her were useless, I wasn't even able to say any of them.

Currently, I am studying in an international school as a scholar. She forced me into this school and when I learned to love it, she forces me out. And the school I wanted to be in before is now unpleasant for me.

In Shim International School, everything is free but sometimes you have to contribute for the school activities. The class is small, the fewest students of which is 3. Although the population is like this, we have a good relationship with each other. The teachers care about the students. They teach not only subject matters but Christian values as well. The lessons are advanced. In fact, we already have our thesis which should be for college students only.

MNHS was the school I wanted to be in when I was in 1st year. My friends are there. But I have come to love SIS as it is--with the gross food and stressful activities, with its great teachers and students. If I were to be asked, I will choose this than the other. But my whole family wants me out.

Farewell, classmates, schoolmates, teachers, friends, dogs and SIS. ~~Pray for the reconsideration of my parents, but if this is what God wants...~~

Depression

It is our final examinations. I want to pass everything. This is the last batch of tests. I was thinking of paradise after this when I can finally play Neopets to my heart's contentment. But when I heard of the situation, I lost my will to study. What happened is something I cannot blog about, but this really depresses me and I know, will sadden everyone. Why did it come to this point? It is not final yet, but there is a 60/50 chance. It could have been avoided if a person understood. It could be reconsidered if a person acts. It could have been better if a person cared.

I have no right to make the decision. It depends on them. But if I were to choose, I want nothing to change... I want the same setting...

This time is critical for the students especially those who are still thinking twice about staying and hearing this would truly confuse us with our decisions. What could happen if this becomes final? I want to appeal to the ones concerned,but who am I to interfere?

Friendster?

It's been a long time since I last updated my Friendster account this much. Back when I was in first year and was a n00b with the internet, all I did was Friendster, Friendster and Friendster. Now that I have been playing around with the 'net for almost a year, I'm beginning to wonder what is very usseful with having a Friendster account. Yeah, I know that you can meet new friends with this social networking site, and you can stay in touch with the old ones, but I don't think it is of much use to me.

It's not because I only have 77 friends that I am ranting about Friendster today. The majority of those 77 friends are my old friends, relatives, classmates and schoolmates. Whenever people in school meet new faces, one of the first things they ask is your "fs" or Friendster account. Then when you check your account, you're flooded with friend invites. I don't invite people that much. I did, a year ago. I used to anime fans I come across with, but not anymore.

Another thing I'm hating is that people invite random people just to increase their friend count. I don't know what's with this mentality but this is rather pointless if you don't even talk to that person. And I admit that I don't talk to those people I don't know but I invited before. They don't talk to me either.

I only enjoy Friendster during holidays because I see some of my friends greeting me and commenting on my page. When I updated yesterday, I uploaded pictures of our class, school activies and other random stuff I took with my PMP. I've got loads of photos there because it is just now that I found out how to access the "hidden folders" of the crazy PMP. Just some pics I got from it: what I do with my Pooh bear.

Okay, so back to the topic. Question: Is Friendster worthwhile or not? Answer: Depends on how you use it. Well, whatever. I'm not here to oppose one of the most popular social networking sites in the Philippines. I'm just here to rant about stuff.
