Retreat, Reco, KOF, Si Sir, Mam, Musika, and after. couldn't help but post about it.

One note about the retreat: School and prison are more similar than I thought. and that's saying a lot. The prison looks like a school campus. 0.o I should have brought more money. I was thinking they'd just sell small keychains or something. *sob* the dragon sculpture was 300. A far cry from what I brought.

My "interaction partner" left after giving me a short speech on how and why I shouldn't end up like him which I somehow believe he has rehearsed and repeated to every interaction he participated in. After that, he just simply left and never came back.

A teacher from the prison offered to become a replacement for my "interaction partner". Benji bugged me quite a lot because of this, hehe. I had to share someone's partner whenever he was busy, though. Quite a different experience compared to the others.

Two things I can use to describe my experience when leaving: It's a lot like Prontera or Divisoria. I felt like an Acolyte with no SP surrounded by flooders. I was relieved when I left.

MWAHAHAHA, I can beat two of Benji's characters in a row using Iori. I'm not sure wheather to describe my matches against Benji as serious battles, or a chance to watch DM and SDM animations. Yaotome!!!

What can I say about the reco? not much. Roche is an ass. Food was good. Comments on the retreat written on my journal is just a few paragraphs above. One activity we had to do is to think of what we want to appear on our tombstones. Here are two possibilities of what could appear on mine:

For those who don't know: I'm dead
For those looking for wise sayings: check next tombstone

The thought is nice, but mourning doesn't really doing anything. Try doing something useful, like building a 20 ft. tall gold statue in memorial of me.

Si Sir, Si Mam, at ang Musika: a showcase of talents or a chance for students to laugh at their teachers? You decide.

The true goal of the teachers who participated on the performance is to blind us, isn't it? Imagine all the highschool teachers you know wearing miniskirts and strapless tops singing "Ako'y Kikay" or whatever the son is called. If I have to have that mental image, everyone has to.

New quote of Mr. Antonil: "Ha, Ha, Ha, Mayaman ako!" *waves money*

I got third place in Rival Schools:PJ! Either I'm getting better, or they just reset the scores. 650000 (or was it 65000?) just seemed too easy to get. After all, I did it in 15 minutes. I most probably could have gotten first place if I didn't purposely lose so I could put up RAZ in the rankings before 7:30.

Time goes quickly during vacation but tread slowly during school.
Those Science and Math lectures are connected to time, I tell you. They CONTROL time!

stolen from Khan's blog:

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Eigth Level of Hell - the Malebolge!

Take the Dante's Inferno Test

A brand new year...

Optimistic view: One more year to live and experience. More possibilities, chances and choices to go through. Possibilities of something great happening. Another chance to finish everything I wanted to do in the past year. More choices for me to make to open new paths.

Pessimistic view: Another year of problems. I have to go through everything over again. I have to go through another year carrying the burden and scars from last year only to gain new ones. People say it's a new start but they really don't mean it. They still remember what you did to them last year, and they will hold it against you this year. Mistakes carry over to the next year while people easily forget what little good happened at the last. Why do we celebrate New Year's again?
