Peace and Hippie Love

Before, I wished that I was a boy because I thought that they have many advantages. I thought boys were good in Mathematics, so that I could prove to my Trigonometry and Calculus teachers in high school that I could get an A+. I thought boys will not suffer anymore since they have to endure the pain once while girls have to endure the pain every month until they get menopause. I thought boys have a good sense of humor, so I wouldn’t carry on such boring conversations. I thought boys could snatch a girl that he likes anytime. But now, I am thankful that I am a girl since I wouldn’t carry on such heavy heartbreaks.

I have this friend of mine who likes someone from my barkada. He carries such meaningful conversations, interesting stories & a good sense of humor. I thought that she would deserve a guy somebody like him unlike her bastard ex-boyfriend. I do believe that a suitor should court the barkada first since they will help him to find a way to get together. He did so, by starting off to me. I was surprised, and at the same time, amused since he has the guts to do that. I started to help him. The idea of helping him was unknown; it was out of this world. I just instantly agreed. Maybe, thinking that I would feel bad if I refuse him. So, I gathered the rest of the barkada just to help him out.

The only bad thing when you and your barkada don’t go to the same college is the lack of communication. You don’t have any updates since they won’t send you a text 24/7, they won’t call you 24/7 & visit your place 24/7. We just found out that, one day, she likes somebody else. Even though, she’s denying it. It’s written on her online journals that she sends hidden meanings to someone. I felt so useless. I couldn’t help my friend. But, instead of feeling down, I need to cheer ourselves. I told him, “it’s not yet the time to give up. Instead, you must try harder to make her realize your feelings for her. If she refuses you, that’s the time that you should look for someone else.” Am I right?

I’m good when it comes to give advices to other people, but when it comes to mine, I’m dumb. I think that’s natural. You could see someone’s mistakes, but you cannot see yours. I have this principle that I need someone to tell me to keep going forward and where to stop. I can never tell, right? :)

I like watching mystery films and anime such as Detective Conan. But, I don’t like solving since I’m no good when it comes into analyzing stuffs and thinking about the case. I have this homework (actually, it’s a seatwork) in COMSK1X (Communication Skills 1) that we need to catch the murderer and how the murder happened.

Problem:
Alfred Jameson III, 67 years old, was found dead at his study room by 6 A.M. by Parker. The police believe that he was killed between 1:00 to 1:30 A.M. There were traces of mud footprints, size 10, were found outside the study window next to the bushes.

· At 10:30 P.M., Margaret went to bed saying that she had a headache. She says she took some medication for her headache that made her very sleepy.

· Parker saw Margaret in the kitchen at around 1:45 A.M., claiming she was hungry and couldn’t sleep.

A little help will do, I guess?

I need everything of these to be done:

I miss embroidery. When I was back in elementary school, I suck at it but it was fun even though I have to endure bloody fingers every moment. I like how to follow those patterns, make stitches here and etc. I always feel that I need to make my own touch to everything, but I wasn't aware of it yet.

I just adore people who can do bead weaving. I makes my jaw drop on the floor. I just can't help but to wonder if I can also do my own bracelets, necklaces, earrings, anklets, etc. with beads. Everytime I go to the school library, I always check out the crafts section. I'm so thankful that I go into an art college, so many resources.

My mom bought me earlier a magazine about bead weaving earlier in Fully Booked. I was so surprised that I wanted to do stuffs regarding with beads. Maybe it's because how I kept nagging her to go to Divisoria. Thanks mom!

T-shirt printing. It's nice to have my very own designs to be put on my shirt. It gives me self-confidence to accept my whole being. Plus, my parents are very supportive since I plan to make this one a business. It's nice to have them give a separate amount for textile paints and stuff for me to experiment around (it's hard since it's self-teaching).
