    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;* Just a little something I made to keep myself occupied... &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meeting Someone is...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="entry-body"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meeting someone is an art.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; You have to have the skills and the right mind to pick who you want to meet.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meeting someone is destiny.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; You meet someone because that someone has a purpose in your life or you have a purpose in that someone's life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meeting someone is a game.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; You compete with your friends to see who can have a hundred acquaintances in four hours.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meeting someone is nothing.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; You say, "I met him/her....so what?"&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meeting someone means you have someone new to manipulate/ take advantage of/ prey on.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; You run out of people to victimize so you go and search for new blood.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meeting someone is insightful.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; You might meet someone with a different background from yours and you tell him/her your culture and he/she tells you about his/her culture and you end up exchanging lives.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meeting someone sucks.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; You whine, "Why do I have to meet him/her if I could just sit in front of the television all day eating chips and watching re-runs?"&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meeting someone is finding new love.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; You hope, "I hope this person is so cute so that I could date him/her."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All in all...meeting someone is just meeting someone, in whatever angle you look at it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Yeah. I am here right now in Switzerland writing in my over-dated journal. I am feeling homesick, mind you. And very very nostalgic (as said on my mood icon).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know that I promised to write the Mohammad Story Part II but I'm not really in the mood right now. Switzerland does that to you. (Yeah right.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, Genevé (i don't really know the right spelling) is pretty boring (but alot of cute guys! :P). I don't have much to do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm currently in an internet café inside the WHO office. Yes, weird but I have so nothing to do. So bear with me!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plus, the keyboard is really messing me up. It's really frustrating.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, I gotta go. My snooping sister is looking over my shoulder.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, gotta run!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;P.S. The Mohammad Story Part II will come when I get home. And that's a promise!&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <title>The Mohammad Story (WARNING: Very confusing in a way...)</title>
    <published>2005-04-11T11:23:34Z</published>

    <lj:music>Soon by LeAnn Rimes</lj:music>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Alright. So I did promise to tell the Mohammad story for those who could not relate to my last posts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's pretty simple really.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It all started with a switch in seating arrangements during the middle of my second year high school year. He became my seat mate and I never really thought it would be THAT scandalous. I mean, I actually expected a year of talking to myself and ignoring the flesh beside me. But no....my classmates just HAD to make a big deal out of it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Um....as I try to recall how it all happened (which I sometimes don't bother remembering) I remember minding my own bussiness on my own seat while Lea beat Mohammad up into a pulp (figuratively of course) and Paul just laughing at then both.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then, something happened when they suddenly kept quiet and started playing pranks on me. Well, Mohammad did. At that time, the "tap-on-the-shoulder" thing was still going on and he so decided to play it on me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(For further explanation, refer to the lj-cut.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The "tap-on-the-shoulder" thing is usually a prank used to irritate a person to their wits. For example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you have a prankster seated on your left side and decides to play a pathetic-but-works-well prank, that person would extend their arm over your shoulder (preferrably when you are either busy, not looking or asleep) and then tap you on your right side since that person is on your left side.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, the initial reaction of any human being is to look towards the direction to which you have been tapped. Upon seeing no one, that is when you realize that you have been a victim of a pathetic-but-works-well prank.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He did it to me once, and I fell for it. But then, after doing it to me for several times, I finally caught him once or twice. Then as he was to do it again, Lea then decided it was a perfect way to react and cry out in a not very loud voice that Mohammad was putting his arm on my shoulder. ("akbay" in Filipino terms)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, we shook it off, thinking nothing of it. But after a few weeks, there came Lea again with her attempt to pair us up (yeah...right).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We were waiting for our oh-so-&lt;em&gt;lovable&lt;/em&gt; C.V.E. teacher (can't bash him here. he's sort of....&lt;em&gt;ahem&lt;/em&gt;....sensitive in internet thingies.) when Paul and I indulged in our daily argument about practical and sometimes useless things (mostly because I just want to contradict him so). Then when we kept quiet for a few minutes, Paul, with his trusty fan, hit me on the shoulder to call my attention. Of course, as any normal human being would, I yelped out softly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, for some certain weird reason, Mohammad suddenly turned to Paul then asked, "Ba't mo sinasaktan si Sophie? (Whay are you hurting Sophie?)"&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then, here comes Lea and goes to her "kilig" mode and starts her tease fest again. Oy....it was tiring and annoying hearing her saying those weird phrases about being in love and things (she was in love then too).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Again, I thought nothing of it. Sure, Lea came up with silly excuses in teasing us but it was nothing compared to what the whole class did to me one C.V.E. class as we discussed our dear non-written exam.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They were supposed to pick a director and an assistant director to organize the exam which involved the whole class. They were supposed to pick Minerva or Heidi or Mohammad alone even! (I volunteered him....hehe. *devious smirk*) But no.....! Someone had to go and volunteer me. Me and that frigging Muslim!!! *sigh* But it was okay in the end. But I don't know if I&amp;nbsp;got a 98 or a 99 in the exam or whatever. Anyway....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, it sparked there. The whole class' weirdness, since they had been pairing unusual pairs then in the whole class and I had to be included in it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, I'm feeling too weird about everything right now. I think I need to lie down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'll post up part 2 next time or tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I did promise that I would update my journal as long as this crush thing is going on, but guess what....it's all over. Yes, I decided it was all over. It started during our second to the last day of our final exams. I saw &lt;em&gt;him&lt;/em&gt; with his girlfriend that was a stinking first year student.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, I'm not really angry because the girl was a first year student though the pride is still somewhat hurt but the fact that he is so stupid!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He's stupid. VERY stupid! He goes on and on about being hurt and all that, like he wants the symptahy of everyone. Yes, I did give my sympathy but once I looked back, I sort of said enough was enough and he can go on all on his own.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I admitted it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I admitted it to the first people who knew about my impending liking to him. &lt;strong&gt;M&lt;/strong&gt;ark, &lt;strong&gt;T&lt;/strong&gt;am and &lt;strong&gt;V&lt;/strong&gt;ictor (MTV : P). I told them that the next year, I need them to help me to find a new person to love and to "stalk" (hehe.). They said that I should take a liking to someone from the class so that ir would eb easier. I just shrugged.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At that time, the thing with Mohammad and I (I'll tell the story some other time.) was still burning in their minds. I mean, sure Mohammad and I sometimes act like we're &lt;em&gt;"together"&lt;/em&gt; but its not really us. Yeah. we're sweet most of the time but that's innocent &lt;em&gt;flirting&lt;/em&gt; in a way. I mean, we would never be togther, right?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, that's besides the point.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, it was like they were indicating Mohammad and well, I'll be honest and say that I considered it a bit but let's just say that&amp;nbsp;I can't due to certain circumstances I can't mention right now. Besides, he has a girlfriend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, so that's how it all ended. But now, I have more mixed emotions. &lt;em&gt;He&lt;/em&gt; talked to me again in Y!M recently. And our conversation was like the usual boring stuff. Asking me about my family and blah, blah, blah, blah. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was enraged. Solely because he used to ask me those questions when he was still courting me and it was all so cliche to me already. He's always been asking me how my family was, how I&amp;nbsp;was and all that crap.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sorry for the curse but I hate it. It rings a bell and I don't like the way the bell rings. It brings back bittersweet that half of me wants and the other half doesn't want to remember. It's like he has cheap pick up lines like, "Don't they see your beauty?"Aaaggggghhhhhh!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Look at how he used it:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;basketballdaw14 (10:46:58 AM): hows ur family?&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (10:47:04 AM): ganun pa rin&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (10:47:09 AM): urs?&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (10:47:12 AM): ok lang&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (10:47:19 AM): busy parin dad mo?&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (10:47:25 AM): yep&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (10:47:30 AM): oh&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (10:47:43 AM): eh luvlyf natin musta?&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (10:47:57 AM): hmm.....uneventful i guess&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (10:48:10 AM): no suitors?&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (10:48:19 AM): none&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (10:48:47 AM): bulag ba ang mga guyz? cant they see ur beauty? &lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (10:49:02 AM): well, u ask them that&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (10:49:10 AM): but i don't really think much of it&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (10:49:28 AM): ok&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (10:49:37 AM): so san kayo magbabakasyon?&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (10:50:19 AM): hmm......we're still thinking. pero for sure madami kaming meeting.&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (10:50:39 AM): ah ok... well gtg bye&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (10:50:41 AM): ingatz&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (10:50:50 AM): okie&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (10:50:51 AM): bye&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See!!! So annoying!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But when I reflect, when he IM-ed me, the butterflies still reacted in my stomach. I don't know if it's out of disgust or something or if the feeling is still there. I mean, I haven't told everyone that I now am so frustrated with him and many still think that I still like him up until now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And honestly, I don't want to think about it anymore. It just hurts. And annoys me even&amp;nbsp;more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But there was this one time, my classmate, Michael, &lt;em&gt;his&lt;/em&gt; busmate, found out of my former feelings and promied not to tell. And I was glad cause he (Michael)&amp;nbsp;was my friend since preperatory school. all I asked of him was to hit &lt;em&gt;him&lt;/em&gt; on the head and tell &lt;em&gt;him&lt;/em&gt; that it was from me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And Michael did just that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I noticed since during the duration of the morning, &lt;em&gt;he&lt;/em&gt; always glanced at me. I was laughing so hard inside.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I asked Michael at the end of the day and just as I expected, he did. But he told me that &lt;em&gt;he&lt;/em&gt; didn't believe Michael that it was from me. It was hilarious! Then &lt;em&gt;he&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;said that he didn't do anything to me. If he only knew....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, bittersweet, that's how I would say it is. It hurts but I want to feel it over and over again. Weird, I know but that's how I feel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, the Mohammad story will come some other time. Too pissed off to tell it...&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <title>Mixed Emotions</title>

    <lj:music>That's the Way It Is by Celine Dion</lj:music>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;This past months, I have suddenly found anew emotion that I believe that I have been hiding inside of me for a very long time. It's love.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, I denied this emotion. Though I did admit that I had, have, a crush on &lt;em&gt;him.&lt;/em&gt; I admitted that fact. I admitted it to my friends, a number of them actually, but never admitted that I truly loved him already. I actually thought it was all a crush and thought nothing of it since it was all and natural. But something struck me last February 14 when I saw him lonely and carrying a bouquet of flowers. I knew those weren't for me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He told me stories of his past love lives and how it ended so sadly. That was when he was still courting me. It was in the early parts of the year. It was when I lost him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yeah, he courted me for a week and ended up with someone different. Someone who broke his heart in the end. Let me tell you this story he told me....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was almost Christmas eve, actually it was Christmas eve when I talked to him. It was in Yahoo Messenger, after I had sent my digital Christmas present to everyone in my list. A few minutes later, his dialogue box opened and he greeted me first before he gave this question: &lt;em&gt;What do you think of a girl that broke up with her current boyfriend and found a new boyfriend the day after?&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was shocked when he presented me with this question. I actually thought he was happy with his current girlfriend and of course wouldn't be coming back to me anytime soon. But the question suddenly gave me a mixed feeling of hope and sadness. Knowing, I shouldn't be happy that this happened to him, I sympathized with him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We started off talking about this topic like we were talking about a random guy in the street but I knew even from the start that it was all about him. Then in the middle of our conversation, he finally admitted that it his predicament.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Judging by everything about him, his status message, his replies and the likes, he really loved this girl we were so painfully talking about. And I have not admitted my own feelings then yet. So, eventually, the conversation ended with me saying that he should sing Christmas carols to make him happier than he was now. He sounded confused at first but considered the idea later on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I, on the other hand, placed the thought at the back of my mind for the time being. It didn't mean much to me then. I just felt great helping someone like that. But now that I think about it, he had been asking my advice ever since. He even told me about his three-day girlfriend last summer. It was like we had a connection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then it all happened last January.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was after the Drama fest. We were both participants and bid each other good luck before. Rgiht after, we had a Y!M conversation again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Note: he's basketballdaw14)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;basketballdaw14 (7:13:45 PM): nice acting a while ago!&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (7:13:54 PM): hehehe. ty&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (7:14:32 PM): but one suggestion next time palakasan yung voice para kasing last year eh ang hina uli nung boses nyo&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (7:14:50 PM): un nga eh&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (7:15:28 PM): how about our play? is it good?&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (7:15:38 PM): okie lang&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (7:15:48 PM): boring ba?&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (7:16:06 PM): medyo di namin naintindihan yung story line eh pero cool ung set&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (7:16:40 PM): hehehe... how about the actors ok ba sila?&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (7:16:48 PM): yup. &lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (7:17:06 PM): yung voice ok lang?&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (7:17:13 PM): yup&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (7:17:26 PM): dami nga namin mali kanina eh&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (7:17:32 PM): ows? di halata&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (7:17:49 PM): tulad nung sa akin nag adlib na lang ako kanina&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (7:18:00 PM): really?&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (7:18:09 PM): yup&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (7:18:18 PM): scary ba yung face ko kanina?&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (7:18:21 PM): weird&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (7:18:23 PM): yeah&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (7:18:32 PM): do i look blind?&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (7:18:42 PM): i really thought you were&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (7:19:08 PM): ooohhh...&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (7:19:24 PM): hehehe&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (7:20:10 PM): sayang natalo kami... pero sabi nga ni sir kanina lahat ay tayo ay panalo&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (7:20:20 PM): hehehe. yup!&lt;br&gt;basketballdaw14 (7:20:39 PM): so congrats uli&lt;br&gt;sasnd13 (7:21:17 PM): yes. congrats to everyone!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was not much of a hearty conversation compared to the ones we had before but I would have to settle for that for the time being. I did miss those conversations though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then after the cheering competition. We had another covnersation:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yeah. It was bittesweet. I felt happy but sad at the same time. It was like it had a hidden meaning. He said I wa cute, yeah, but the part when he said, &lt;em&gt;"That's why I courted you &lt;strong&gt;before&lt;/strong&gt;."&lt;/em&gt; super hurt me for some reason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Was he implying that he won't bother anymore now?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But there was still the sense of care for me. And he asked if I was going to the concert. That had to mean something, right?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But that was before Valentine's Day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before that forsaken day, I had cried so much, like I just found out that he loved someone else when in fact, I had known ever since. I felt stupid and helpless. But that was how it was.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My friends were there to comfort me but it wasn't enough. I cried so much when I was talking to Tam in Y!M. I thought I wouldn't cry but I did. It just felt worse and worse&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then I started accepting the fact that he loved someone else and that there was a slim chance that he would love me back again. So, I just settled in loving, I mean, &lt;em&gt;ahem&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;liking&lt;/strong&gt; him from afar. But it all changed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was during the campaign period. He seemed over the fact that his girlfriend broke up with him. He was smiling now and having fun. And I started bumping into him almost everyday. It was pure bliss for me. We almost crossed paths one time and I was overjoyed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One day, the day was almost over and Renjei, one of his friends and my fellow SEB and party mate at that time, called me with him by his side. This is how it went...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Renjei: Sophie!&lt;br&gt;Me: What?&lt;br&gt;Renjei: Did we have a meeting? (party meeting)&lt;br&gt;Me: It just finished.&lt;br&gt;Renjei: Already finished?&lt;br&gt;Me: Yeah, actually, we never had that-.&lt;br&gt;Renjei: I'm asking you a simple question! (jokingly)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I gave an innocent pout and laughed later on. As &lt;em&gt;he&lt;/em&gt; and Renjei were about to go out the gate, Renjei looked briefly at &lt;em&gt;him&lt;/em&gt; then at me as he sang.... &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Hinahanap-hanap kita..."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It means "I've been looking for you."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My friends were with me and they knew of my crush on him. And, of course, you know their initial reaction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Me? I was happy. But also confused...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did that mean he was looking for me or was it just a joke?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought of that the whole week until at th end of the week, that was when I got so confused.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We were in the open court, waiting for out volleyball game to begin. Then my friends and &lt;em&gt;he&lt;/em&gt; were there, playing basketball without a hoop. (I know. Weird.) My friends knew but he didn't so we were like hiding from each other the whole time. Until they went to the other court to play REAL basketball. That was when our game began.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the game, (We won!) Minerva and I changed back into our school uniforms and went to our lockers. On the way, Renjei, &lt;em&gt;him&lt;/em&gt; and his friends were there. Since Renjei suddenly came to call me ny my middle name he called me Angeli.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So he, Renjei, called me and &lt;em&gt;he&lt;/em&gt; looked at me. Renjei held me back for a few and &lt;em&gt;he&lt;/em&gt; asked who won. I, feeling pride and happiness, said we did and &lt;em&gt;he&lt;/em&gt; praised us. Renjei gave me a high five.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was happy the rest of the day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another thing that irked me was that once his status message read: &lt;em&gt;Back to what is true....back to you...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At first I thought it was some other girl but after what happened. a thought came to me. What if it was me?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So there. That's what's been mixing my emotions these days. And I can't help but have some hope in me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, I'll keep this thing updated until this is all over and done with. Teehee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope it's a happy ending...&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <title>Korean people in our school!</title>

    <lj:music>Have You Ever by S Club 7</lj:music>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Yes, there are Korean people in our school. Apparently, they're in our school to learn english from experience. But everyone is sorta asking why does it have to be in our school? I mean, there are other schools around the Philippines where they can really learn english from experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ang guess what...I'm a tour guide of one of them. And I guess they would be sticking with us until the end of the year. (No!) So, with me being a guide, I had to change seats. I had to be at the back and miss my friends from my other seat. I loved it there!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, a lot changed when they came to our school. My seat, how our daily routine went by...everything! I mean, I didn't expect myself to be a tour guide. It's really hard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And since they can't speak english that well, I had to use simpler words so that they could understand. But I really miss my other seat!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh well... Things can't get any worser than this right?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, and I'm part of the play of our level for the dramafest. It's one of the activities in the highschool that everyone is looking forward to. Almost every level are doing their best and greatest to just win it. Anyway, I'm really nervous. It takes a lot of guts and spirit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hehe. Okie. I gotta go. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'll write next time!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ciao!&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <updated>2004-12-02T06:06:29Z</updated>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;*sigh*&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Love.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is love? That's the question I've been asking myself for the past week. I mean, I miss having someone to talk to about how I feel. Soemone to be carefree around. Someone who can give you a hug whenever you want it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, I had a special someone before but I was curious then. and strangely, It felt good having someone to run to when your sad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You might be asking where I met him. Well, folks, believe it or not, I met him in the internet. Yes. Out of curiosity, I got hooked up in the internet. And it wasn't as bad as it seemed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then, after a few months of going steady, we broke up. why? Infidelity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yup. I knew I should have expected that from him. I mean, he's a friggin' American for goddness' sake! And I should have known better. But the facts still remain and I fell to like him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No, I don't believe that I fell in love with him. Though I did back then. But no, I don't think so. I mean, it was a cyber relationship. But never the less, the feelings were real.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I gave everything to him (cyber everything). I even gave up my cyber virginity to him and we had a&amp;nbsp; cyber son! It was almost perfect not until when I had to go on a vacation and didn't have internet connection for a whole month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I came back, I found out that he was having someone else. I cried, naturally. I decided to take our "son" with me and start all over. But my plan backfired. I instead lived with him (cyber) with our son, his brother, his brother's wife (who really became my friend) and his brother's daughter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That was when I started falling for him again. It was stupid but I can't help it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;anyway. It's a long story...&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <updated>2004-10-26T12:02:31Z</updated>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Okay, so let's set this straight.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;In school today, I was teamed up on by my whole class. I was paired up with a Muslim to make a liturgical thing! Well, it ain't that bad anyway. I mean, it will be alright......right?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Anyway, the dance is coming up! The High school dance! entitled CHILL. Cool huh? ;0) Hehe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;I don't really know who suggested that. We just decided upon it. Although people think it won't be as cool as last year's dance but hey, we never know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Oh, well. That's just about all of it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;But before I end this, I have an addition.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;when I went on Yahoo! Messenger today, everyone was so down. Even me.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;But hey. People are people.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;We will get over this.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;We are teenagers and we will survive!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;I'm running out of things to say!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Anyway.....bye!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Till next time!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <title>I've Had it!!!</title>
    <published>2004-10-17T01:22:52Z</published>
    <updated>2004-10-17T01:22:52Z</updated>
    <lj:music>Security by Stacie Orrico</lj:music>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Alright! That's it! I've had it!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why can't my batch mates just see that what they're doing to our section is not right? They accuse us of being nerds, unforgiving (when it comes to academics) and unfair when they're the ones who don't know&amp;nbsp;right from wrong!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, you might be very confused really. Let me tell the story....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my school, there is what they call the "star section". That section comprises of 45 of the top students in the batch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And so, before, every student's dream was to be there. But now, since the time when they figured that they didn't have the chance (which is untrue since they don't realize that they're not working hard enough) to be in that section, they started bashing that section.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I happen to be in that section!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And as myself, I make a stand. I don't just sit back and do nothing, thinking it will just pass off (unless its a completely nonsense thing). I voice my opinion out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I mean, they've been at it since the start of the school year. I mean, what's wrong about being smart?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most would just say that they're just jealous about us but they've been to far. I mean, sabotaging our congratualtions poster for our top classmates, that's too much!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I mean, we did nothing to them except do our best in our studies. What's wrong with that?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And the worst thing is that, its affecting the batch spirit! I mean, I don't mean to brag but as a student council member, My colleagues and I are very worried about this. (but thankfully, they still listen to us somehow.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tried getting the side of the presidents of the other classes but still got the same perception. And since we were discussing a very delicate thing, I figured that I couldn't just voice out what I think right then and there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh well, I know that I will get a chance. And somehow, I hope that the people in my batch would somehow see what is important to us. We never thought doign the right thing would anger them so much...&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Okay, first of all, I decided to not continue Love's Play. It started getting over rated. Yes, I know I only started it for a few days but to be frank the idea just doesn't capture me anymore.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;But the good news is that I'm still going to post my works in here. You know, if I have no where to post them or would just want to share it with some people.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;I would sometimes be posting maybe personal entries so I'm going to add a LJ cut on those stuff. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Note:&amp;nbsp;Do not read the personal entries. I would be saying so if the entry is personal or not. Please respect my privacy.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <title>Love's Play</title>

    <updated>2004-02-22T03:38:46Z</updated>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;This fic is really driving me crazy. I've been thinking about it ever since I started it.&amp;nbsp;So, the question is, what would happen to Rex and Sarah? What will Rex tell her? Find out in the next chapter of Love's Play.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Title:&lt;/strong&gt; Love's Play&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Genre:&lt;/strong&gt; Romance&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summary:&lt;/strong&gt; It all started with a romance play which they had to do for a project. But as the play ends, the romance doesn't stop there. They still had to finish what they started...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Love's Play 4:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Sarah looked up at Rex with both curiosity and fear. "Talk? Talk about what?"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Rex looked at her for a moment then shrugged. "Things."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Sarah slowly averted he gaze at the flirting Nathan and Amanda. She really wanted to go home but if Amanda hadn't dragged her here, she woldn't have had to face Rex, the one person she didn't want to talk to right now.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"Don't worry," Sarah looked up at Rex as he spoke. "They won't even notice that we're gone."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Her green eyes turned back to the couple and walked off. Rex followed her as a signal that they were really going to talk.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;-------------------&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Sarah swirled the dark brwon liquid in her cup as she kept her head down. She knew that once she looks up, she could never look down...ever.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Though they were in a busy cafe, their silence was still deafening between them. Ever since the play, they tried to avoid each other not wanting to accept what they felt.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Rex caught Sarah by surprise when he took he hand into his which caused her to look up and stare back at his unending blue eyes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"Stop avoiding me." he said in a soft whisper.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"Who said I was avoiding you?" Sarah whispered back, trying to be sensual and calm about it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"No one said anything."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"Then what made you say that I'm avoiding you?" Rex didn't have anything to say he just stared at her silently.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"Rex?" his stare confused Sarah so much. What was he up to? What was he--&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Then what Rex did was what really startled her...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;He kissed her.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Great! Now, here comes the next chapter of Love's Play. It's really weird when you think about it. Me, writing two chapters in one day. You sometimes ask, how can a person do that? It's almost physically impossible. Well, almost. So, any way. Here's the next chapter of Love's Play...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Title:&lt;/strong&gt; Love's Play&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Genre:&lt;/strong&gt; Romance&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summary:&lt;/strong&gt; It all started with a romance play which they had to do for a project. But as the play ends, the romance doesn't stop there. They still had to finish what they started...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Love's Play 3:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Both Sarah and Rex held their gaze at each other neither wanting to let go. But as a hand placed itself on Rex's shoulder, he suddenly jolted back into reality and truend around.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"You were great, Rex." said Nathan, a friend of his. Rex looked back to where Sarah stood but only to find her in a conversation with the teacher. He turned back to Nathan and mumbled, "Thanks." He then brushed passed Nathan and walked off.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;-------------------&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;The bell rang and it signalled the end of the day for everyone. And Sarah was on her way to her locker when Amanda caught up with her.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"You guys so rocked!" Amanda said as she leaned on the lockers beside Sarah's.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"Thanks." Sarah said with a smile as she closed her locker door. "It wasn't much but thanks any way."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Sarah and Amanda walked out of the building there they met up with Nathan who was seated on a bench near the gym's entrance. Amanda noticed and insisted that they go talk to him.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"But Amanda. I still have to make our album in english." Sarah reasoned not really wanting to go since she knew why he was there. "Besides, I still have to leave tomorrow for our picture taking."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"Sarah." Amanda said looking at Sarah with her hands on her hips. "you must be the busiest person I know. I mean, c'mon. It's a Saturday tomorrow and you still have plans for school work. You should chill once in a while."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"Amanda." Sarah countered really wanting to go home. "At this time of the year, there is no time for 'chilling'. I still have a lot of work to do and--"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"Hey girls!" Nathan yelled as he spotted the two. "Come shill with me."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Amanda looked at Sarah with an I-told-you-so look and ran up to Nathan. "Hey Nathan! How's it going?"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Sarah rolled her eyes and walked over to Amanda mumbling, "Oh, boy."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;As she walked over, Sarah stopped at a safe distance seeing the two flirt like mad. Though Sarah knew their publc display of affection was prohibited in the school campus, she just let them not wanting to sink in deeper into Amanda's bad side further.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Then as she was left to her own spot to think, her thoughts went back to the play and Rex. No matter how much she wanted to avoid him may it be physically or mentally, she just couldn't. Why, you ask? Well, because in the next minute, someone tapped her on the shoulder which startled her to death.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"Rex!" Sarah said in shock.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"Sarah." he said with a nod. He offered his hand to her and helped her up.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"So, um, what-"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"Come with me. We need to talk."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Here it is, the next chapter of Love's Play. I know the last chapter was short. It's just that I didn't have much ample time to make a long one. Maybe one of thse days, I'll make one long chapter. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Title:&lt;/strong&gt; Love's Play&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Genre:&lt;/strong&gt; Romance&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summary:&lt;/strong&gt; It all started with a romance play which they had to do for a project. But as the play ends, the romance doesn't stop there. They still had to finish what they started...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Lover's Play 2:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Sarah slowly walked towards him as he rehearsed his lines over and over again. She gently tapped him on the shoulder. He stopped to look at her with an inquiring eyebrow.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"Rex," though she was shaking, Sarah didn't let him see her nervousness. "This is it." &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Rex gave a curt nod, lay down the script&amp;nbsp;on the table and followed her to the place of the&amp;nbsp;actors.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Sarah was able to keep her cool as Rex and the other actors acted the first few scenes of the play. But as the narrator reached the part of her entrance, the butterflies in her stomach seemed to increase.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;She stifly walked to her spot and did her thing. Sarah gave everything she got and more. She tried not to think of the teasing and consequences that the play would bring but she did it any way.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;After saying her first few lines, Rex came out of his hiding place and approached her. Sarah knew this was part of the play since she was also the one who directed it but something&amp;nbsp;was different by the way Rex carried himself during the play. If in the practices he wouldn't even look her in the eye, now he did everything he was supposed to and more.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;As she stared at him and she stared at her they acted out their parts in perfect grace as if they were really the two lovers they portraying. And as the end of the play drew near, Sarah suddenly didn't want it to. She wanted to stare into his blue eyes forever and live like that. But that wasn't it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Applause came from the audience and Sarah and Rex faced them and gave a bow. Once the two parted, Sarah couldn't control her pounding heart and couldn't stop herself from looking back only to find Rex staring at her.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Okay, so since I'm feeling&amp;nbsp;a bit weird today, I'm planning on making this series in my livejournal so that I'll keep my entries coming.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Title:&lt;/strong&gt; Love's Play&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Genre:&lt;/strong&gt; Romance&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summary:&lt;/strong&gt; It all started with a romance play which they had to do for a project. But as the play ends, the romance doesn't stop there. They still had to fonish what they started.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;Here it is: &lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Love's Play

She breathed in and out as she tried to calm herself for her fate. Today was the day when all their hardwork would be seen by other people, their classmates in particular. She looked over at his direction as he rehearsed his lines anxiously. &lt;i&gt;So, he's as nervous as I am.&lt;/i&gt;

She smiled at the thought as she remembered when they were practicing for their big day. He would always complain. He would complain about how long his lines were, how hard his part was but she knew he would go this far and not disappoint her or their teacher for this was their grade.

The teacher then came in with a mischievous smile on her face. A hand lay on her shoulder and she looked behind her. It was Amanda, her fellow groupmate. "You ready for this?" Amanda asked. She nodded and went over to him to tell him of the play's start.
"You can do it, Sarah." Amanda whispered.

Sarah smiled and slowly patted him on the shoulder. He stopped rehearsing to look at her. "It's time." said Sarah as she tried to contain her nervousness.

He gave her a curt nod and after a few more glances at the script, he went over to the front. It was show time.</content>

    <title>Rants today</title>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" size="2"&gt;Hello! Here I am again...to rant.&amp;nbsp;I am really lonely today. You know why? Well, maybe becuase I am all alone in this stupid world.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Yes, the world is stupid. With all the stupid emotions and loneliness. The world with the stupid boys who say stupid things to make you stupidly confused.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Okay, I am now ranting here because I have a stupid problem that&amp;nbsp;I can't get out of my head.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;There's this stupid guy who claims he loves me. I didn't believe him at first (I am not that naive.) but as he called me on the phone, he started ranting about me being his girlfriend and everything. So? What does this have to do with my mood today?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;I suddenly felt lonely. You know, like since I'm a fic writer, I mostly write about love and the likes. And this certian revealation on his part (i'm not saying names) shook something inside of me.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Will I be as happy as the people in my story? Will I always be left in a fantasy world of mine? I don't know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;All I know is that I shouldn't focus on these things. I still have&amp;nbsp;alot ahead of me. I want to be a lawyer someday and this stupid guy can kiss his ass for all I care. He would have to wait till I'm in college&amp;nbsp;for me to be his girlfriend.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;this really comforted me alot thanks.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Ciao!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN-TOP: 25px" height="40" alt="crappy" hspace="2" src="http://stat.livejournal.com/img/mood/neko/kaokitty/crappy.gif" width="40" align="absMiddle" vspace="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Okay. So, I'm totally crapped up about this day. It wasn't only very tiring but the people just didn't have any respect and morals. And in my country, it seems like the people have forgotten how to respect and help one another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;You see, we went to this theme park and was expecting to have a fun day. Well, we &lt;strong&gt;DID &lt;/strong&gt;get to have a fun time but when the day finally ended and we were already in our last ride, the people started to get stupid.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;In the theme park, all the rides were booked with people and you had to wait in line to finally ride in the ride you chose. The problem was that the stupid people didn't know how to wait. Some started to crawl down on the floor just to get to the&amp;nbsp;beginning of the line. Because of that, the line hardly moved.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Since we, my sister, my two cousins and I, were already so aggravated, we started to&amp;nbsp;control the line. We tried standing near the railings to prevent other people from&amp;nbsp;crawling their way to the beginning of the line.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;I even heard a father, or was he the grandfather, tell his son/grand son to just make his way through the people to the line. It was so unfair! I was so angry at the man that I had to restrain myself from scolding the older man.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Then, when we were already going home and on the highway, it was filled with cars and&amp;nbsp;public vehicles. And we were trying to make our way to the other lane but the&amp;nbsp;other cars just prevented us from doing&amp;nbsp;so.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;You might ask me what&amp;nbsp;my point is to all this. Well, basically, what I'm trying to say is that the people of today have a very negative&amp;nbsp;attitude. They hardly follow the rules and get away with it. It is also the problem of the officials like the poloce. they don't have a discipline&amp;nbsp;to control these people and don't even try.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;These stupid people in this case, get angry when they are told to do the right thing. It's what I don't like in our country. Our country is almost falling because of the people's lack of dsicpline and good judgement. They don't know how to look at people. All they believe in is the media and their idols.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Some media helps in correcting the attitude of our people but the masses are just too stubborn to understand what is right from wrong. they don't want to see the truth that is right in front of them. And they choose a president that didn't even graduate.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;I'm not saying that there is no hope for us anymore. Of course there is still hope but if the attitude of the people will be like this, our country will little by little fall apart.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;For me, the best way to correct this attitude is to teach them what the right thing is.&amp;nbsp;If they don't listen at least the children be taught.&amp;nbsp;There is still hope for the youth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Anyway, all I&amp;nbsp;can do now is pray and hope that the people would change. Not everyone gets the proper education and they don't see the things happening. they just follow what they believe in and don't use their rminds. Hopefully, when its my generation's turn to lead the country, the world would be a better place.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Wishing for the best.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Ciao!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>
