I’ve decided to make a new post. Something light this time.

As far as you can see, I changed the theme. And I believe that this will remain like forever? Haha! I’m too lazy to make one. And I guess, I won’t because it’s hard to claim something that’s only around 10-20% yours. (I read this one from Shari)

On the contrary, I plan to make something for the visitors. It’s not coded and uncoded layouts and wordpress themes. I plan to make textures. Do you think it’s a great idea? And I also plan to sell it. Not really sell but ask for donations to those people who wanted to use it in their “online business”. Get what I mean?

I still haven’t started making them. I still lack idea and inspiration. And I lost the other textures that I’ve created in the past. My tool in creating those textures will only be adobe photoshop 7. Sorry, I live in the dark ages.

Oh yeah, what’s the difference between textures and patterns?

I plan to give away a domain this coming October to celebrate my blogging anniversary.

What else?

Gah! I want to make lotsa stuff for my visitors but I can’t think of any particular freebie to giveaway that is 100% and originally made by me.

By the way, I’m trying to make time so that I can return comments. It’s quite unfair for others who visit and comment here and I can’t even give them a single visit. Sorry guys, I’m really, really sorry! College is not hard but it’s killing most of my time! Not the assignments but the way home…

In the previous post, I shared 3 difficult (well, I consider them difficult) situations. And now, in this second installment I’ll share the fourth situation. This just happened last night so it’s fresher than the other 3.

First, I want to discuss why I’ve decided to post this semi-personal matter. Semi-personal because it’s graver than the other 3 and this situation does not only bug my mind but also my conscience. Why? You’ll find out if you stay tunned.

But before anything else, I’d like to clarify that this post is comments off. Yes, I’m not encouraging you to react. The main reason why I posted this is because I need an outlet. I need to release my suppressed emotions because talking to my friends about this is not enough. I need more to keep myself at ease. I really need to this, so I hope you understand.

And I’ll appreciate it more if you comment on the previous post rather than this one, that’s only if you want to comment.

The reason (another reason, duh!) why I turned off the comments in this particular post is because the other person involved won’t be able to defend herself. This means that you’ll only be hearing (seeing, rather) my side of the story.

Situation Number 4 : A “Friend”

This situation is a no-turning-back situation because I won’t bend this time. I’m firm with the decision that I’ve made and will remain firm to my standing. Bitchy, huh?

As I’ve mentioned above, this just happened last night. My “friend” texted me and told me that she wants to borrow my swim wear and CAT belt.

I only reply about the belt. I left the swim wear question hanging. The reason? I don’t want to lend her my swimsuit! Isn’t it obvious? Yet she didn’t get that signal and texted me again about the swimsuit. Now I told her that it’s not a must to use a branded swim wear though it’s prescribed. I also included in my message that she can buy cheap swim wears in department stores which only costs around Php 300 - 500 ($ 6-10). She didn’t reply.

After spending some time pondering, I’ve realized that I’m wrong. (See, I’m not that bad) I texted her on my freewill just to say that I’m willing to give her my spare swimsuit.

Do you think the problem is solved there? Honestly speaking, it just started!

She replied on my message saying how thankful she is and whatsoever. She also included in that message when will I give it to her. Ok, this really pisses me off. I mean, for goodness sake she’s the one asking the favor and she had all this guts to answer me that way! But I calmly told her that I’m not available this Sunday (it’s the day she wanted to get the swimsuit) because I plan to sleep all day since I have Saturday classes. And it’s already 11pm that time and I have to wake up early because I need to be in school at around 8. I mean, if I’m going to hand it over to you on Sunday, that just mean I have to start searching for that damn swimsuit.

So, I told her that I’ll give it on Tuesday since I don’t have any classes on Tuesday. Then, she texted me back saying MONDAY. She really hit it this time, so I called her on the phone. I told her I CAN’T GIVE IT ON MONDAY BECAUSE I HAVE CLASSES!!!!! Then I hung up.

She once again texted me saying that she needs it on Tuesday.

Then, that’s it! I finally erupted! I told her that I won’t lend it to her because she wants to have it her way. And besides she’s the one who’s asking the favor! So why do I have to adhere to her conditions? Why do I have to follow? Why me? I’m the one being asked off the favor? So why do I have to adjust just for her sake? As far as I can remember, if you’re the one asking the favor, you must be willing to adhere to the conditions of the one you’re asking it.

After that she texted me again saying that I’m the only one she remembers that moment their swimming instructor told them about the swimsuit.

This just proves that she only knows that I existed in this world whenever she needs something from me. How great isn’t it? And sad to say, she already got the sympathy of my parents because she stopped going to school for a year because of financial problems.

I don’t want to be friends with her once again. I don’t want to be fooled by such a trickster like her (she has ways to get your sympathy).

PS: This is my side of the story. Sadly, she won’t be able to defend herself to my accusations.

My mind is crowded with a lot of thoughts. Unfortunately, these thoughts are not just random thoughts. Well, they are situations that require decisions - wise decisions. So I’m dreading myself in order to squeeze out whatever I can squeeze in my brain.

Situation Number 1: Caught in Between

If you’re caught in between two powerful forces what would you do?

That’s just to exaggerate, the real situation is I’m caught in between two groups of friends. Mind you they’re not so-called’s. I don’t know if it’s really hate but they seem not to like each other. Whenever the other group doesn’t like what the other one is doing, they’ll start bickering.

So, what  should I do? They’re both my friends. I enjoy their company and they’re fun to be with but the problem is I can’t be with both of them.

What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?

Situation Number 2: Believe me we’re not the same

I hate it when someone asks me about my studies. Seriously, I find it pissing and offending. Earlier, somebody asked me if I’m not studying. He reasoned out that he often sees me so he assumed that I’m not studying.

I tried to keep my cool and answered him that I am enrolled in a certain college and I am studying.

I don’t know why but he really offended me. I know I’m lazy and oftentimes hardheaded but I’m not that low. I’ll never ditch myself and my parents when it comes to that. And besides, all my “efforts” will turn into zilch if I won’t study. In fact, I’m planning to run for honors this college.

My problem here is, how can I control my temper. Do you have any suggestions?

Situation Number 3 : No!

In my school, there is a debate and oration org. I forgot the exact name of that org but they concentrate on debate and the art of public speaking. Their aim is to produce good, fluent and confident speakers.  Ok, so much with that. I asked my dad about it and he turned down my request. I even told him that once I became a member of that particular org, I’ll be a full scholar! He turned it down again.

I have a brief background on this so I really thought that my dad will permit me to join. But his answer doesn’t surprised me as well because I know my dad - he thinks that this will just be a hindrance in my studies.

I told my mom about this and she told me that it would be better if I’ll just join the school publication. Great!  They have conflicting ideas.

This is an open letter to those who want to get hosted anywhere in the world wide web.

You know, it’s not easy to be a host.

Whenever our hostees encounter problems with their sites, it’s always us who do the troubleshooting, most often than not. Not only that, we’re shedding some space in our hard disks just to back up someone else’s space. Though this is a bit of common sense because they cannot access the cpanel or whatever administrating tool being used.

And, of course, we’re the ones paying for the space and the domain name. You think it’s cheap? No, it’s not. You’re lucky if the space you’re sharing is for free. Sadly, not everyone in the world wide web are not generous enough to sponsor a domain with hosting package, or even just a domain and vice versa.

My point here is please be considerate enough. Do not apply for hosting if you don’t intend to use it in the first place.

Why am I saying this?

Because my hosting applicants keep doing this. They’ll apply then once it’s granted, they’ll just leave the space I’ve given them untouched.  There are those who were “considerate enough” to at least inform me that they don’t need it, but still…

It’s pretty annoying.. especially if you’re not in a good mood. It hella sucks!

 I’ll do my best to return all comments on Friday. So far, I don’t have any business on Friday so I’m really looking forward to it.

School, college in particular, is very hectic and tiring but I’m enjoying and savoring it.
