darn it.

meh. the previous post is acting wonky and weird. i tried fixing it.

*gives up* -.-"

life is so unfair.

...but i don't wish for a utopia.
...and i don't want to be so egoistical.

2 posts in one day? 'coz as i said, the post below is acting weird. *rants*

see ya,

mariel *eating marshmallows, which tastes like air*

...life's a mess.

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit..tonight
-
Breaking the habit - Linkin Park

i dunno, this song pretty much summarizes what i've been through this whole week. Don't ask me why.

i try to change in a positive way...but it's my own self that's been keeping me from changing.
...and i really don't know why i have been this way. i wasn't like this when i was sec 1...

yeah, i've been at amanda's blog, reading her blogpost...and i guess i've been busier these days. busy enough to forget to have time for myself, my friends, my family.
...sooner or later i might forget these people exist altogether...and i don't want that to happen.

and i don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. i don't want to be an elitist. i don't want to end up hating myself.
...and maybe i am the person outcasting myself.

...let me explain everything that happened that i think made me this way.

...i became immature after that "unforgettable event" happened. it was something that left me scarred emotionally and somehow mentally, even now it still gives me the jibblies. i mean, after that whole thing happened, i kinda cracked up. yeah, some my think of me having that post-traumatic stress disorder.
also, after that, i ended up insecure and started not trusting anyone.
...but this doesn't mean i'll blame it all after that event.

even before that day, i felt kinda abandoned, 'coz my parents directed their attention to brother instead of me...okay, it does sound kinda brat-like of me to do so, but i got used to the attention after all those 7 years. after that i started seeking attention from my other schoolmates...and it kinda stuck on me the impression that my parents will give me attention after getting high grades and stuff.
...well, i was wrong. even if i know it's was wrong, i still have the urge to have high grades just to have my parents i impressed. 'coz now i kinda had that the mindset that it was the only thing that impresses them.

...and perhaps i acted like an elitist nowadays. i dunno why. i know i hated elitists, i might end up hating myself.
...actually i hated myself already. i don't like the way i ended up right now. if i could wish for anything i'd wish that i was stupid instead of being smart so that i wouldn't be so arrogant and stuff...and i'd wish i could turn back time just to prevent all those bad things from happening.
...but what has passed, passed, and cannot be changed.
...but i can change the present, can't i?

...some people might think i'm all perfect, with a very happy family and stuff.
i am not perfect. i am not always happy. i cry. i lost a lot of people who were quite close to me.
...and besides, i'm fat.
maybe i was the person that i hated the most. not asraf, nor anybody else. i was kinda like, everything i hated.
...but this doesn't mean i'll go for self-mutilation. i don't like the whole idea of slashing myself, 'coz i'm scared of dying. that's why even though i've thought of killing myself a lot of times, i couldn't bring myself to it, 'coz i'm scared to die, 'coz i fear of ending up in...that horrible place we call "hell".

i lie a lot of times, but that doesn't mean that i did lie to my deutschlehrer as he accuses me i did (it was a complete misunderstanding. i was practically a blur most of the time when i'm in my german class, 'coz it's at wednesdays and fridays that i procrastinate the most)...i'm so sick of lying. i'm sick of everything. i'm sick of living a big lie. i'm sick of keeping up the image of a perfect person (everybody's fool - evanescence...it reminds me of that song)...i'm sick of the whole competition (class, whatever). i'm sick of people wanting me to be what they want me to be(why is my life a whole bunch of theme songs?!...btw, this sounds like perfect - simple plan)
i wanted to quit a lot of times. but there are some things that keep me going. unfortunately, i'm not sure what it is.

...at least now i know what amanda thinks of me...one down, a lot more to go before i die.

how many years to go before i die? 'coz i can't wait any longer. i'm not a very patient, no?
i wonder how many people will be at my funeral? i wonder what my funeral will be like? i wonder how will i die? i wonder who will do my eulogy? ...and i wonder if anyone will miss me? how many will forget me?
...will anyone care if i die?...will i die unnoticed?
...why am i asking about my death? *shudders*...this is so wrong.

yes, my life is a complete mess. i must go and fix it.

...so, notes to self:
1. be more open-minded
2. be less childish
3. stop living in the past
4. be less of an elitist
5. be less arrogant
6. try to have free time to spend with people who are close to me...so that i won't regret anything before i die.
7. cut out those empty promises.
8. try not to hurt anyone's feelings
9. learn to trust someone
10. be less over-protective
...and the list goes on...miles away.

...but this blogpost isn't my full story, yet. there are a lot more things that happened to me, i can't bring it up...i-i-i c-c-can't...*stutters*...it's just too horrible.

I'll face myself
To cross out what i’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what i’ve done

of school, weird stuff and ranting.

i won't go into the old system again.

meh. this past few weeks has been rainy. i like the rain, but i don't like when it rains on the holidays and if i have guests on those days.

and i positively don't like going back to school on the holidays...and holiday homework.
who suggested going back to school on holidays and doing holiday homework?
you people are weird.

i don't have much to rant about though.

last saturday i went for the nus geography challenge with ms choo, a sec 2 girl named hannah (amanda, you know her?), a sec 2 guy named mervin, and 2 sec 4 girls whose names i couldn't remember. man, even if we wouldn't get in the top 30, we were one heck of a team. i mean, i had fun, although i was quite reluctant.

...but the questions were pure geography material. dang it...except for the second part of the prelims. it was when it started to get fun. ^^

...i didn't go for choir practice. why?
> 'coz i don't like the idea of going back to school on holidays. i am against the whole idea.
> i'm busy entertaining guests, who happens to be my relatives. can't i have quality time with my relatives? i know this isn't a valid reason for you choir leaders and teacher in charge, but, i think my family comes first before anything else 'coz i wouldn't be in school without them, wouldn't i? *rhetorical question*
> like i said, i'm a family-oriented person. i want to spend time with them while i can, and while they're still alive, 'coz i can't spend time with them when they're dead *touches wood*. yeah, i wouldn't much use to a dead person, wouldn't i? *another rhetorical question*

ok. so i didn't come to lenten vigil too. i wasn't able to come 'coz i wasn't feeling well, i was in jurong...and i didn't take an afternoon nap.

...why was i in jurong?...i was supposed to take something there, i can't recall what was it, and well, it so happens that...i forgot what happens next, i have a bad sense of memory...

ok. now to do what i was here for.

i'm gonna do what xin ying did, 'coz i can't keep in my feelings any longer.
...and i have to admit, i'm slightly emo xD (it doesn't show?...this proves i'm good at faking that i'm not. xP)

joanna: ....*sigh* do you really wanna know? if you don't want to get hurt, close this window.
i've got to admit.you can be quite annoying sometimes, i just don't dare say it. i don't mean to backstab and such, though...i'm still jealous that you were able to change to another school, and i'm quite annoyed about the reason why you changed school...but i don't mean to be selfish and stuff...which is probably the reason i let it go. i don't call much anymore, and sometimes when you call me, you always hear me like i'm in a hurry. times have changed, i don't have much time anymore, which leads my life into an imminent disaster. x.x
...and besides, i've learned the the school's reputation is nothing without its students. so, i'm trying to clear up the school's name on academics: by topping the school's o-levels with a whooping score...a score high enough to let me enter victoria junior college. i know it's impossible, but hey, flying was thought impossible until airplanes were introduced. ^^
...yeah, but it still something too much. :P
...but, this doesn't mean that i hate you. i still like you, 'coz you're still someone i can relate to...and you're someone that is too good to lose. may your relationship with hamza won't be a flop. ^^

amanda:...a lot has changed from the past three years, no?...i remember you saying that you are straight-forward person, so i'm gonna be straight-forward to you too.
you used to be that person who i can hang out with. i used to think of you as very cool and stuff, 'coz, well, i don't remember. i've always thought of you as a good leader before, but, as i've said, things have changed.
...you became more childish, no offense...it's as if you've grown backwards or something. you want things done your way, like that chemistry test mrs koh gave us recently, remember? i remember you saying that if you fail the test, you're gonna blame it on mrs koh. i know you were joking on that part, but what if people take it for granted? i say if the teacher is lousy, i'd do my own work instead, or you could go for tuition. ain't that a simple solution? you can't blame a teacher for teaching that way, 'coz that's her technique. if you don't like it, you could tell her about what you don't like about the way she/he teaches. it won't be solved unless someone does something, right?
...you have also become more selfish, and more of a spoiled brat. yes, you've told me last year that you are quite spoiled, and i told you that you weren't like that. maybe i was wrong. maybe i haven't seen your real side yet.
...you used to be...well...quite approachable. you used to be someone i could talk to...you used to be someone who goes in the same bus as me and talk about a lot of stuff. maybe i was too boring for you, i wouldn't mind...maybe i was too arrogant and cynical, or maybe i still am, i'm trying to improve on it...and you used to say vulgarities not so often. now it seems like vulgarities are part of your vocabulary, which is not a good image for a rite-awardee like you. can you please cut down on them? but this is merely a suggestion, i'm not forcing you to do anything, kapeesh?
...and ever since you went really serious about the whole "les" thing, you went really crazy, as in annoying-type crazy...you became even more sick-minded. you go emo when trina ignores you. i want the old amanda back, but i can't force people to do my bidding, can i?
(btw, i am being outcasted, and you don't need to apologize. it's too late, and i'm outcasting myself from the whole gang. i know the clique is falling apart, and, well, i think it's too late to fix it, not that i'm being a pessimist)

michael: i know you like corrinne (or however you spell it)...i don't like her that much, but don't let my thoughts get in the way of your feelings. if you really like her, then fine, as long as you're happy. if others don't like you being together, then heck care what they think. what matters most is what you feel...but, please do not forget your friends, 'coz corrinne isn't the only person in the world. and if she rejects you, don't mope around and go emo. respect her decision. she isn't the only girl in the world. probably now ain't the time for you to have a girlfriend, so don't rush. and besides, there are more girls in the world that you haven't met, and you can't be sure corrinne's the one for you...but that doesn't mean that you go date every single girl on the planet, 'coz that is extremely weird.
...btw, i like your decision to turn over a new leaf. i wanted to turn over a new leaf too, but my own self kept stopping me from doing so. but i am trying, though. ^^

xin ying: ...yes i did say things do change, and i'm not the only one seeing the changes.
...yes, you did become a bit weird, but not weird to the point of being crazy...you weren't so emo as before, and i like it. ^^
amanda did say once the you don't "click" anymore, that you were being annoying. but i don't think that you are annoying...seriously. i am not being biased, 'coz that would mean that i am lying, which i don't plan to do right now.
...a lot of things did change for the past three years that i have been here.

...to the whole lot that has been reading this: i have noticed that i've changed a lot too. i've made new friends this year, i have seen things from a different perspective, a lot has seiously changed. but that doesn't mean i like everything that has changed from my past personality. it seems like i have been more arrogant (i've said it before and i'll say it again)...i have been trying to humble myself. it's just me who's been stubborn.

...well.. i can't think of anything else to say. i'm not hiding any more stuff in the head.

man, ranting stuff is fun ^^

see ya,
mariel ^^

whatever.

deductive reasoning? yeah right, like i have that.

website completion status: 06.0% (really lazy, eh?)

lets' cut to the chase, shall we?

>>THE NOT SO DISTANT PAST<<
(dang, i've got to get organizer-thingys for this thing. i'm tired of typing.)

linggo: i got the case wrapped up. (what case? check the choir blog tagboard.)...i kinda know who the notorious tagger(s) is(are), although i might not be too sure on that. i won't tell who that person(s) is(are), 'coz i might get myself under embarrassment if i got it wrong. anyway, how did i know?

firstly, the way he tagged. he went on rambling about soccer and stuff and then i knew it was a guy. of course there are girls who like soccer, but i don't think they'd be awful enough to spam that tagboard full of nonsense.

secondly, the time span between his tags. it seems that said person has associates, by the style of his wording and insults, it surely can't be from the same person. or can it?

thirdly, i got a slight hint of who they were the next day. don't ask me why. 'coz i'm bad at explaining.

...but of course, i'm not a detective/sleuth. i told you, these are just guesses. these speculations might be wrong...i wouldn't know. besides, i feel that the tagger ain't willing to budge. i'll have to wait for this one.

lunes: did this crystallization practical for chem. i like chem practicals. they're awfully awesome. ^^ english remedial was, well, i dunno how to explain. but well, teacher said there was an improvement on our behavior. i don't see much difference.

martes: had a very difficult math homework...went to farmart with the old folks, and had fun with my job as "ambush photographer"...too bad i deleted some of my photos, besides the fact that some of them were blurry, but some were priceless in the sense of funny.

miyerkoles: well, mrs wee suggested that my english group should have made a longer storyline for our project, so we had to redo it. amath was quite a blur, i was busy thinking of my projects (more on that soon)...and did not concentrate on the lesson, but i was able to do some of the questions...just by looking at the examples. but the book still lacks examples. i'm gonna ask my parents to buy me that other amath book.

also, mdm wong thought of asraf as a very nice pupil. IT'S ALL BUT A FALSE FACADE. that guy's a complete idiot. he doesn't respect others, so why will i give him respect?
...and besides, he's a whinny spoiled brat.
....but that doesn't prove that i'm not either.

>>THE PRESENT TENSE<<
"c'mon. you ain't seen half of me yet."
(translation: c'mon. you haven't seen the other side of me yet.)

social studies debate was most fun. except asraf being a nuisance (soo damn typical. i must consider barging into the principal's office and tell her to expel asraf. if only i had the nerve to do so.), it was...well, nice. aside from the fact that our group's debate was an epic fail. xD

i'll be expecting another epic fail in my maths test. i'll bet 1 cent on that.

on the part of the take2 of the el project, well, i...can't describe it. there were a lot of errors here and there, but hey, we ain't perfect, and at least we didn't take the story from a website a long time ago and reuse it again. on this, you'd better ask anh, 'coz i told her about said topic. (asraf is still a nuisance, and he sucks, and has a mentality on a 1-year-old. i wonder why he's still in express. he failed science last year, as far as i know.)

i had the funnest bio lesson ever. for this ask xy, suhartini, sharmila, anh...we were laughing until my side ached. (crap)

>>FUTURE PROJECTS<<
>that...petition, if anyone is still in favour, please, tell me, or i'll cancel it.
>class website.
>learn to do animations out of flash, and then do some work.
>my alternative math workbook.
>homework, like usual.

>>THE LAST WORDS<<
meh. nothing here except...

"yum."

now my mind's blank. like empty space.

see ya,

mariel

(p.s.: can you believe this post's in technicolor? i mean, colorful? i'm bored, so i had to do so...and can you believe how many i times i've edited this post? that's how weird i am.)

dingdondangdong...dingdingdingdong

ouch. that's gonna hurt in the morning.

class website completion status: 6.0% (added one page. nothing much, though.)

i've got a lot to do, so don't expect a very long post.

first of all, x-country. was very glad to see joanna, although to me it seems weird that she cut her fringe...well, that's her decision anyway. the last time i had a fringe was last year. and it kept bugging me. >.<

well, we rode the same bus (21) home, i had to alight earlier, 'coz my stop's nearer (common sense.)...and we kinda stumbled on one topic while we waited for the bus...or so i remember. i dun dare say it here. my rep is at stake (steak, lolz.)...

now, what am i doing?
busy doing research work...for a debate. i'm wasting time here.
also browsing on deviantart, what else do i have to do?
oh yeah, class webbie. too bad i had to do all the work, 'coz i didn't ask for help. so now i'm asking: who knows css?

gotta go.

see ya,

mariel

...slinks away...

i'd rather be somewhere far away...so far that no one can hear me scream...'coz i wanna get out of here 'coz it only gives me more pain...

website completion status: still down at 05.0%. how lazy am i?

...for those who think i'm emo-ing again, well, probably i am. but usually it's on a temporary basis...it goes on and off without me even knowing it. *moves off to a dark corner*

...so i've heard that jo and hamza's relationship has been going well, even if joanna told me one time last year after she broke up with mich (it was more like 5 months after that incident) that she didn't wanna be associated with any boy whosoever...seems like times have changed. breaking resolutions are our trend already. how come i didn't hear of it?

...i must be out of my mind, mustn't i?

okay, enough of this, it's only making my day worse.

>>THE NOT SO DISTANT PAST<<
monday: meh. started on enzymes, which was so boring. took a nap at chem class without mrs koh noticing. how shameful, especially for someone who is a chem rep. perhaps i need to work on my attitude. and get some more sleep, 'coz i really need it...

tuesday: well, i was really feeling kinda sick that day...but i didn't care. i also was lucky enough to catch an early bus. ^^ the rest that happened on this day was nothing of importance, except amanda got sabotaged by mrs koh. l.o.l.s...also got to see esther in choir. long time no see, esther ^^...after choir there was this meeting-thingy for choir leaders. i didn't want to stand there in envy so i walked off. i don't wanna care anymore.

wednesday: well...found out almost everyone i knew got hooked, except for a few (which includes yours truly)...i mean, seriously...you might think it's silly of me to refuse to have a bf, but, as i always say, it ain't my time yet. although i'm not patient on a lot of things, i can be quite patient on this matter. i don't like rushing, especially for exams. it ain't worth it.

>>THE PRESENT TENSE<<
"darn. how could i be so dumb?"
yups. my head is really deteriorating at a fast rate.
my maths (a and e) are complete failures. my bio was also quite a disappointment, and my chem is also pretty much disheartening. for sure i'm gonna get beaten up in physics.
...and that's how i learnt that looks can indeed be deceiving in a hard way.

how now, brown cow?

...i don't think i can even make an a1.

it's my arrogance that made me like this. i shouldn't have been too overconfident.
...and it's all gonna change, hopefully.

*insert omitted text here*

>>FUTURE PROJECTS<<
...meh. not sure.
first of all, i'm gonna cut the slack like what i'm doing right now and hit the books. also, i'll try to get as much sleep as possible. i already look like a panda, and it could only get worse.
...also, i'm gonna try to finish the class site a.s.a.p. ...i'm pretty serious about it although it seems like no one ever takes me seriously. weird? naaaaaah.
...also, i'll try to convince myself to be more decisive, especially when i'm thinking of running for philippine president. *dang. did i just say that? lol, i did.* although it's only a thought, no one can be so sure about the future.

>>...THE LAST WORDS...<<
...before i bid you people adieu, i would like to say the following:
>that you no need to worry if i get hurt, 'coz i've let go anyway...so you can just go on with the relationship, 'coz i've let go of it by posting this. ^^

>that you can talk to the hand 'coz i just want to hear silence, thank you very much.

>that you can go move into the landfill, don't mind me, i'm just a bystander.

>...that i need to be alone when i'm emo-ing, so, please stay away by a 30-mile radius, or at least be far away as possible. i don't wanna rant, 'coz i know you won't like it either.

>that i absolutely don't mind being outcasted anymore. haven't i told that a thousand times? although it kinda hurts. v.v

>that i really wanna get out of this place (bigger scale please. i like my house, you know.). this place sucks.

..and now i must bid you guys a fond farewell. happy valentines day!

see ya,

mariel

(to readers: sorry for dumping this huge load of dump on you. i really need someone to confide to, an my diary's full. i need a new one...and i don't mean that i seek attention. i try not to. and the last words? try to guess if i'm referring to you. you might never know.
*winks*)
