oh, yes, i'm back

{See, I'm not dead!}

The past few days have really been quite enriching. I feel as though I have understood a bit more about life. I know it sounds cheesy, but really, I have.

It started with Princess Diaries 10, the book. Insane? But strangely, it gave me a little bit hope in the sense that Mia has really grown as a character since the last book. She’s more mature, she can set her priorities straight, she thinks rationally. She whines less, too. I really liked that factor in the book. It was so much more refreshing. Anyway, getting to that ‘little bit of hope’ part, I sincerely don’t like who I am as a person right now. I’m anything but grown up, and I am more irrational than a particularly square-rooted irrational number. It kind of scared me that this was how I would stay for the rest of my life; this irresponsible freak who can’t set her mind on what to do half the time. But that book kind of made me realise that I still have room to develop into a more mature being. Now I really sound corny. But anyway, it was certainly a good revelation. For me, at least.

Second, I learned stuff about people around me, too. This is a slightly touchy subject, because I obviously can’t go on about other people because that would then be filed under ‘Gossip’ or ‘Bitching’. Some people really, really don’t care about anything unless it concerns them. Those kind of people are sometimes very hard to deal and cooperate with cause they’re extremely troublesome. Oh, well. But that brings me to my next revelation:

I am a very forgiving person. This is the only quality I can find about myself that is remotely good. It can be bad, too. When you forgive a person easily, they may make the same mistake over again. It’s frustrating. Let me give you an example: Say, hypothetically, a person has been very rude to me or called me ‘stupid’ in a way that was very insulting. What do I do? Of course I get pissed off. I get pissed off and I rant to all my friends, wear a black face, talk less, etc. But then, when that person who had called me ‘stupid’ turns around and is nice to me or offers to help me with something, I immediately smile and forgive her/him. Just like that. And then the person might take advantage of this and bite me in the ass the next day.

Sigh.

I also discovered a hell lot of other things about my classmates, and I was quite bewildered by what I heard.

It hit me right in the face how different Sec 3 is. And not just regarding studies.
