Worse Weekend Than Being Quarantined

Whassssssssssupppppppp worrlddddd....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nah, that's not a nice intro. I failed once again.

Today's weekend, as even every desperate protozoa knows.... but truth spoken, it's not a good one for me. Weekend is supposed to be the time we students or non-students have fun or at least kicking back and enjoying the days, right? Who disagrees with me please raise your salary (?).

Anywayy, I'm having a slightly bad mood because of the overloaded homework the teachers gave to my class, and they don't even give a damn that until the next Wednesday the whole school is having final-term exam. I think teachers are just KINDA lazy to give us tasks on the early days before this exam period catches up, and WE have to pay for them. If not, it's a fail for all of us.

The tasks I'm talking about is the real deal. By 'real deal' I mean not that they're important but it's one hell of job for something not really important. They require handy skills and teamwork, which is not the stuff we can do in a rush like this -- studying for exam as well as doing handicrafts. Wanna know what they are???

I don't seriously think any of normal people wants, so I'll just shorten this up. Maybe my wandering classmate found this blog and saw this post and then squeal in their mind "Oh darn! I totally forgot about this homework!"
First homework to be announced was a subject to Cultural Study. We were grouped into six people at each group and what we need to do is performing the Cha-Cha dance on next Saturday. This task is actually pretty considering, because we got a month and two weeks to rehearse the basics and developing dancing styles.... but my lazy group haven't even practiced the basic steps yet. -______-

Next work I haven't done is... Geography articles!!! I need to search for earthquake-prone areas on earth, and it would be a piece of cake because know what? My country could be considered as one of the most earthquake-prone area (if it is spelled right). I supposed to collect it last week but I haven't printed all the articles yet and the necessary device is unfortunately broken. Hell yeah.

Another one to add the list? I'll give ya two: handicraft work and robot-programming task. The handicraft task was given after the teacher came back from a town in Java and bought some ethnical handicrafts, and then we have to make their copy by ourselves. This usually is a team job, but now she wants us to do one for each person... and the deadline is Monday.

About the robot-programming task, it could be the most annoying one ever. The teacher gave us that task last Saturday, and today is the last day we could collect it. Guess what? Nobody had done it yet. I've worked about it with my group (yes, it's group work) but apparently due to lack of time, we only managed to do the programming. The teacher wants us to make a presentation and paperwork and video-recording out of it... so only the program wouldn't work. -____-

That's my annoying sharing for the day. I'm sure it's not a pleasant stuff to be written in a blog or to be seen by people, but I just can't help it. My weekend's a mess!

Despite mine, I want everyone else to have a nice weekend! :) Happy weekend, guys!

Bitter Taste

Alright, so today I wanna babble about friendship. I ain't gonna whine by telling nonsense like 'real friends should...' or 'I need friends like...'. Nobody's perfect, and perfection is boring. It's totally better to go with unexpected things through life.

Anyway, I don't know exactly where to start, but I just feel like writing today. Isn't it better than me posting Deftones' "7 Words" lyrics here? It would be a darned full page of explicit content.

I've always been the kind of jerk who acts immature to my friends and classmates. I would be the last in the class to notice someone's brand new shoes, though he/she is one of my closest friends, and if it's not because of Facebook, I'd totally forget my pal's birthday. Despite so, I still expected them to remember my birthday and pay attention to my new shirt. See? This is my problem.

I'm naive and sincere. Not bragging by implying so, what I meant by sincere is that I can't fake a smile, can't fake a frown, can't fake a cry. I can't pretend to be interested in a chat when I'm actually not. I can't laugh if I don't find a joke funny. That sure seems like something every people would do, but it's not that simple. I figured there are things we need to pretend to make our social life runs smoothly. Perhaps laugh at a new acquaintance's joke so we can be friends...? Even that I'm not laughing, I would smile and tell the person I'm amused. You know, making a sophisticate impression? *can't believe I just wrote that.

Next problem, I'm not a fun person unless I really know you. I'm objective to any kinds of conversation, but there's this mental power that keeps me barried with my own thoughts until I get to know you better. This is caused by my appearance that I look like a total nerd. I'm not. I'm a lazybone. I don't study everyday. I rarely face my studying desk other than opening my laptop to play games or browsing internet. I can listen to Linkin Park or Metallica all day long without feeling dizzy but can't bear a single 500-page novel in the same day. I have dirty mind. I draw, I paint, I play sports, and I do things to my heart's content without considering others. Shortly, I have the characteristics I need to be a typical boy. But I'm on opposite gender. So my problem now is with fate.

I'm quite annoyed that in my high school days I'm treated like a nerd. Not that I'm bullied or ignored. Everyone is nice, but they don't see me as a friend. They see me as an information agent. Sure, I'm above average regarding academic stuffs, but that doesn't mean you can walk away after I finished answering your physics questions! *cries* I don't have a friend I can share stories with, or someone who could accompany me to school cafeteria... Well, that kinda sucks. I can survive that and make friends out of ALL of you!! Muhaahahahh.
I never have whined about it, though. When people leave me alone, there I am, alone enjoying the banging music on my earphone. When they come for me (ha pun intended), I'll be there for them. I'm okay being used, as long as you still humanize me.

I'm insensitive. That's because my life runs smoothly :) I don't have sad or agony stories to tell to my friends, so I couldn't feel anything when they talk to me about their problems. Mostly about their teen love life. Eh? That is so not my topic. I'll try to understand it and give logical solutions anyway. Yeah, logical. So don't blame me if my advice doesn't work. Problems involving compassions and romance are not logical =P

Turns Older

Today my class is having a blast for our homeroom teacher is having his birthday and we all celebrated it at school. We made him a huge greeting card and by huge, I mean it's sized as big as a wall magazine in average is. It consisted of collection of small greeting cards from each of us classmates. We made it a surprise. One of us called him to our class and then we yelled 'Happy Birthday' out loud as we offered him the gift and a chocolate cake we bought. I seriously don't think he would ever be amazed or anything because other classes had beaten us to give him surprise. I've heard twice of Happy Birthday song sang outside before us. Despite so, he still seemed to like the card we created and told us to eat the cake instead of him. After the not-so-great surprise party, he went home. We munched the chocolate treat afterward, then the kids started cream and glazing war, where everyone got to be touched by the chocolate whip cream and glazing of the cake. As the ridiculous stunt ended, I ran home. Well, not literally.... but that's when the story finished.

A thing or two from the event? I begin to think of what a forty-six year old man like him has in mind when it comes to his birthday... Is he happy to grow older? Has he achieved things he wanted throughout his life? If not, does he still have the spirit to chase his dreams? Or does he realize that there are things that prevent him on doing so?

Truth spoken, I don't even know. That's why I want to know. I, being a teenager, have a nature to act to my heart's content and sometimes, without even considering the compassion of elderly generation. Pattern of opinion between young and old are different. That's clearly obvious. Elderly might know some things better than the youngsters because they have been experiencing life longer than the young, but not anything. And what young generations know more than the elder is not much. In fact, young and elder should corroborate.
For example, if youngsters know how to use blogger, which is what elders can't do, the older generation knows how to fill the blog with more useful things.

Perhaps, in a teen's mind, breaking the law is not a big deal. It's even considered 'cool'. That's a shame, because the elders have made such system to prevent anything dangerous. I think the best solution might be discussing the 'law' or 'rules' between young and old generations. I believe both parties have reason for what they're doing.

Elder has more logical control, while the youngsters still need emotion management. It's what differs both the most. Stuffs young people learn at school may be forgotten by the elderly, but logic never escapes them. In return, the young can learn logic from elderly, but the elders, who might experience decreasing of memory, cannot learn how to memorize from young. Simply, that what makes elder a teacher of the young. And the experience as the best teacher, because old people also study from experience.

Okay, that was confusing. I'm just a teenager. Just as other typical types, I act as if I'm already mature, denying things I really am, doing rude things without considering compassion, and writing a blog I don't even want to read. Basically I seem like a hypocrite. Maybe I am, but I don't wanna be one.

The best thing about youngsters is that they have the true potential to change the world. I do believe in that.
