July Week 2 Reflection part 2

In the last entry I talked about the Puppet show and our long tests,this entry will be all about, chances and first impressions. Also, in this week we were told there would be a Folk dance competition, I wasn't particularly stoked about the idea, but to hell with it, it'll be the source of my wanting to go to school. I just thought of it that it is here that my first impressions would solidify into. So I went with the abled dancer, that had the funny side. You the type of guy anyone can approach. Sadly I think that that conflicts with my other impressions, but that's beside the point. What matter was that I was paired with this small girl. She had thick eyebrows and a knack for making people think she was calm-minded. i thought so at least. When I first saw her in High school, i thought that she must be calm as all hell. I thought she was the type to accept everything with a straight face and not lose face in the times of conflict. I admired for that was what I aspired to be, most of them when I said I had an admiration for her, they thought it was out of love. Sadly they were mistaken, and so was I. You over the course of our practice I thought, "Wow I get to be partners with her, maybe some of that calm mumbo jumbo would rub off on me". It never did. She would some times complain that it was hot as hell, actually it was, but I expected her to accept the fact that it was hot, and that would be it. Of course maybe that was her sign of wanting to break the ice. Instinctively I said,"Yeah, it is". And that might be that last time I talk with her, at least for a while. You see the class can be divided to sections and sub sections, though that's another entry in of itself. The day of the performance is in August or "Buwan ng Wika or Month of the Language", mainly Tagalog. I guess we made quite a leap in progress from where we started and I would say we need only polish it more. That concludes Week 2. Hope to have new experiences.

July Week 2 Reflection part 1

The second week of July started and with it new challenges. Events are spreading left, right and center. This was the week where we will be put to the test, literally. this was the quarterly long test of our school. Needless to say I believe I passed all my subjects, not to brag but I am kind of easy to teach. After that was done, we set out to do the other we were tasked with, namely a puppet show. Everything was fine up until I was tasked with the voices. Teaching a person to talk is quite easy in its own way. What's hard is teaching a person to talk in in another. I had faith in them as they volunteered to voice a puppet, was I disappointed. They did show interest in the matter,but most of the time, they wouldn't focus on it. Ok I can deal whit that, it's fine. I'll just say that when go time you better do your best, and they delivered, though not what I was expecting, but they delivered. So now the voicing was done, It was time to direct the whole thing so that it looks remotely well-made. I had to direct it with my whole soul, one or two would help me, but ultimately I gave up and made backgrounds instead. It was a dark time for me, as that was the first time this year I heated to the max. Furious, I was. That was only half of what happened that week, I'll tell the next part in the next entry. 

Posing Xtreme!

Recently I have gotten the addiction of posing. Yes. Posing. Not the typical "magazine type of posing. I do the Xpressive type of posing( I added the "X"for EXTREME). It is where you channel your emotions and in an instant strike a pose. I picked this upon Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, it influences my daily life now. In completely random instances I would just break into a pose, for example, I was walking in our house I chanced upon a mirror what was my first response, posing. The problem does not seem to arise when i'm at school or at public places. Still this is still a good way to burn stress. I find myself being relieved of it, though it may differ from person to person. Xtreme posing,helps in making me less stressed day after day. I will  support anyone that has the bravado to do it in public.

July Week 1 Reflection

Thus started the month of July or what we call it as Nutrition Month. Were you are supposed to eat healthy stuff and grow real strong! Only a few follow it. My mother and I don't have time to prepare stuff like this everyday. I mean in a week you'll have a different lunch per day. that might sound dandy, but you'll be the one cooking for it. They do sell the food for the day at the canteen, but I don't have money to spend on that stuff so I ditched it and just brought what was the norm. I like to think that once you get one mark you go for all the marks. Meaning once you started, see it to the end. That would be all that happened on that week. (to be honest some were incredibly easy, but as stated above. If I get one, i need to get all of them)

June Week 3 Reflection

This was the last week of June and I forgot most of it. It must have really been a lazy week. I cannot recall a single thing that happened. I guess I started Jojo's Bizarre Adventure? Well I have a asked a semi-reliable informant and he said that he can't recall anything either. Well since I'm here I might as well rant about something. For the past 2 years, none of them matured. This might sound condescending or prideful of me, but come on! It's plain as day. You respect your elders, you treat them nice. You respect a teacher for he/she is toiling in work so you can have a bright future. What part of what I just said did they not pickup? To be fair I didn't say anything, but wasn't it the one value that was pounded into us as a child. Was I the only one? What?! I can think of one solution to this, and that is to not think about. No matter what situation I imagine, I can only think of one ending. They'll forget it happened and it'll revert back  to what is was at the beginning of the argument.

June Week 2 Reflection

This is the part of the school-year that establishes the bonds one has with his/her fellow students.I have personally gone with the equality route. I'm equally indifferent as to what they think of me.if you don't let me give a rundown of what I am. I, a male highschool student, is either extremely nice to you, or passive-aggressive to the extremes. I prefer to be alone than with company and think I get job done while alone best. You could say this is gonna be a hell of a year when I get partnered with, overly-quit types or rowdy bunches of unhindered amounts of joyous youths. This particular week was the easiest by far.Everything was in order(to an extent) and we did not get into trouble. Oh wait, there was that thing with *Ahem* and them that might be of some relevance,bu I'm guessing you already now this.*cough* cant accept what givens to them*cough*. I established good bonds with everyone and would most-likely stay out of radar.

June Week 1 Reflection!

Everything was all fine and dandy until the dreaded feeling that school was about to start again. I could feel anxiety flowing in. What monumental tragedy awaits in this school-year of mine. Nevertheless I puled through all the hardships of anticipating school. All the sleepless nights of wondering what persona to use at school what sort of lessons I will have learned, what incredibly cringeworthy dumb-crap I'll be doing. So school started to my surprise we were joined. Typically grades would be separated to sections. Ether an A or a B. The subject is a bit touchy, but to hell with it. This is my blog I'll say whatever the hell I want.(that's the "DETERMINATION" talking pay no heed). As I was saying, I was shocked, I've never had this situation before. Everytime we merged it would either leave someone crying or someone incredibly pissed off. I was the neutral faction,I acted dumb as all hell to win their trust and not notice me. I've even shut down all connections with them at some point I don't remember all clearly to be exact. So the week rolled on, I was hoping there would be a huge, gaping hole in the middle of everyone, but it seems it's just a crack on the floor. Well there is still other moments to enlarge said crack. That mostly brightens up my day. So the week ended with a lack luster end and a exceedingly pile of assignments.

Brimming with the confidence and determination of Gods

Hello, after watching some deep anime, I've gained really a jump start in my, I guess you could say my psyche. I Fell like I could speak in front of a crowd of pack of wild fans in a lack luster concert of their favorite band. For this to happen I would either I saw someone or something that would make me go full force into going the extra mile, or a life changing thing has affected me in some minuscule way that would unleash this gush of determination and confidence for this time I have watched RE:Zero. If you're wondering what the hell that is is that it basically follows the life of Natsuki Subaru, a self-proclaimed "Hikikimori"(Shut-in), who is wisped away into an unknown world where every-time he dies he must go back that day and relive it like it was his first time there. For some reason that gets my gears going, or it maybe that video of someone realizing to their loneliness after just waking up, either of the two must have jump started something. So for the next couple of entries I will be relaying my experience from the past month. Hope you enjoy!

Remake Vs Remastered

Hello! I was just playing some FF4 and I remembered that there was a PSP remaster for it. So I looked into it and found that (I watched some gameplay videos) It was basically the same, but with better graphics. So i wondered then why? Why would you distribute the same game but the only thing that changed was the graphic, well maybe some bugs and it does look like it runs smoother, though it might just be because of the PSP's  capabilities. While on the topic. I decided to look into what is the difference between a remake and a remaster. To my understanding is that a Remake is when a game is ported to another platform or it gets a new snazzy look. Whereas a remaster is when it basically improves upon the game. Sothat mean sthe FF4 on PSPis a remake. Don't take anything I said here as a 100% truthful source.

Tornado?

Yesterday, my parents said that there was a tornado, in our backyard. I'm not one to to deny that from happening, but wouldn't it do more damage than a few branches torn off? Well I guess it could be that it was just a really strong gust of wind. When I was a kid I did see a whirlwind, though it was small, it picked up dirt and leaves on the ground. The "tornado" did a number on the trees though, but it did light up the place. It wrecked a few branches and let the sunshine through. I have heard from my parents, that my aunt's roof was nearly torn off. I don't know how, but I think it may just be an exaggeration. To tear a roof apart, it must be enough to tear branches... I think it must have actually happened. The tree branches, the "tornado", the almost torn off roof,the unnatural amount of rain afterwards. I need to inquire more about it.

Cloudy weather

lately, the amount of clouds appearing above have increased and rain seems to be the default weather when it comes to the afternoons. Must be the effect of the South-East Monsoon. Lately the cold started to kick in also, must be the work of a monsoon approaching. I don't like weather like this, Everything appears dreary, and dull. I prefer a blue,cloudless sky. Something about a wide expanse of blue really makes me feel light. That also happens when I look at the ocean. I remember the last time we had weather of this kind was last year. Where almost all of the Philippines was drenched in rain water. I guess in the coming months we'll be receiving days of no classes, which might sound nice, is generally not.I just assures that there will be make up classes on Saturdays. I'd rather have a pleasant Saturday, than a rain drenched school day.

Water slides(not the one you're thinking about) and Overtaking(not the one you're thinking of either)

Yesterday I was planning to return home from my classmates house, but before I could pack my things it suddenly started raining. You could imagine my disappointment, I ended up borrowing an umbrella. As I was on my journey towards home. I encountered, the harshest environment I have walked on. Everything was slippery and at the end of the slippery slopes was a pool of water. It didn't help for the fact I was wearing school shoes at the time. I almost slipped into one at one point. Never going out in the rain again if that is what awaits me. Luckily that was in the middle of the rain, it was at that point where there were only droplets left instead of the metaphorically buckets of water raining down the heavens.  Also when I was nearing the middle point of my journey, every slow student suddenly popped out of nowhere. They were walking like snails, and in groups. I ,personally think i walk more hastily than the normal person, so walking behind them was a pain. To overcome the obstacle that was laid before me I did what any fast paced walker would do at the side of the road. I walked on the road to overtake them. The funny part is I heard them laughing behind me, either I'm paranoid as high hell. I made it safe and sound back home, though one thing has stuck to me on that journey. Never walk in the rain while students are out.

sTREEt lamps

Recently my mother is having negative remarks on the power bill, so she decides to limit our use of electricity. It did cut down the bills, but what made me think of was. How do we make the whole area around our house, energy efficient. What I was thinking was lanterns. They are easy to use,only requiring candles and a match every night, provides a good aesthetic view to the place, though the problem is that everything might catch on fire. We live in a dense, or at least dense enough patch of trees. What I also thought about was that we make the trees themselves glow. I have heard of a vaccine to make trees glow, let me look it up for a sec... Yes they are glowing plants,yes you heard me glowing. plants. Why in God's good world are we not funding this? It's literally a seed. a seed! That could one day replace street lamps and provide a solution to this damnable temperature. Ok I have made in to a life mission of mine, I swear on this day that I will make that plant grow in this place of ours.

Puppet, puppets

This upcoming week our class will be holding a puppet show. The class was divided into groups of three to speed up the process. There was the Story Division, The Voice Division, and the Production Crew. I was appointed head of the Voice Division. I gathered volunteers, as I will not force anyone who does not want to comply. I managed to get a group of 7 or 8. Yesterday, we decided to do our first script reading session, though they showed motivation, at least a tiny bit. I was sure that the voices that volunteered were assigned to the best fitting role, though I wished I got more spirited volunteers. Nevertheless, we continued on, though having a few minor mishaps. We completed the script, the story was a bit rushed in my opinion. Now I think the story is being revised or getting a rewrite to fully flesh out the story. Here is what I think what happened, they wrote the first draft and printed the first draft. Big no-no. To fully flesh out the story one must rewrite until it fits what you imagine it to be. "A sword must be forged over and over to be truly called one". I made that up, don't quote me on that.

Magical oil

Last night i got myself a massage, as my right arm aches when I stretch it. After a good nights rest, I find my skin, smooth as a baby's bum. If you don't know I have the driest skin. So having smooth skin that does not leave marks on my body, that's pretty awesome. At that moment I remembered that some people used to use oil after a bath, I don't know who, but I distinctly remember someone pouring oil on their skin. Actually while we're on the topic, I think it was Elizabeth Báthory, or more known as the blood countess, for bathing in the blood of virgins. I don't know why, but it was the dark ages, almost anyone knew she was losing it. She died in a cell, where she told the guard stationed her hands were cold. Next morning she was found dead, her body is currently missing. 

Cool exterior, even hotter interior

Hello ... ok I won't even bother with the intro let me tell you straight I hate the cold. Why? Well for many reasons. One of those reasons is My body aches from the cold,one time it was cold enough that my big toe started aching. Second, it stretches my clothes out, why you ask? well there's one simple answer I put my arms in them to shield them from getting cold. now you're wondering,but you could just get away from the source your not tied there right? This is probably my own pride making me sit there, but hell will freeze over before I willingly sit in another student's chair. And the last reason I hate it is that everyone in my class has probably the same insulation a whale has. They can withstand a fan blowing wind at them at constants and the air conditioner set to 16 degrees. 16  although refreshing degrees and to top it off  I'm smack dab in the center of the fan, it is at least a foot away from my chair. You could imagine the freezing winds I have to survive through 5-6 hours fro five days. This is an absolute outrage! I cannot cope with the environment I'm in I'm not the type to calmly take everything as if nothing happened. I might look to have a cool exterior, but inside that is a small flame, but when fed you better find some water as I'll burn everything to the ground. 

"insert freezing wasteland and a erupting volcano in the middle image"

Knowledge nugget 1

I shall now impart some of the knowledge and trivia, I have accumulated over the past week. Though most of it is Biology,let's begin! 

Numero uno is that the difference between alligators and crocodiles are their mouths. Now I want you to picture these two side by side. Surely you would imagine a croc to be big and large, and jaws wide enough to tear meat from any prey, and  an alligator thin and spindly, with a narrow jaw. sadly, it's the other way around. you see Alligators have the bigger jaw while crocs have the longer one. 

This bomb hit me hard, So while we were on topic of animals, he then proceeded to ask me about hedgehogs and scorpions. The answer to the question was pretty simple considering the circumstances. If a scorpion would sting a hedgehog who would die first.

 Having at least a smidgen of common sense I went with the scorpion. I was right. As you may know, hedgehogs are 40%ish immune to poison or at least is resistant to it. By the time the poison to spread to the hedgehog the scorpion would have been digested by then, also there's no guarantee that the hedgehog would be poisoned at all, what a waste of good poison.

Limit point!

        Hello,I will now proceed to tell a story about how I was one the edge of fainting. Most people would fear fainting, I am one of those people, tough there was something that was hindering that fear. I felt exhilarated, I felt alive. I have a saying that the peak of feeling alive is when you're near you're limit. My breathe was heavy and my eyes began playing tricks on me, Everything was starting to go out sync with my brain. I laid down on the ground, grasping my sweat-drenched face. I'll tell you what I did, I smiled, why? Well it's quite simple really. 

          In anime and in shows particularly, A character must not show weakness, and true courage is smiling in the face of fear. I kid you not, my face was fixed, I could not change it. I seriously could not, I swear on my honor( not that I have any). Those moments would stick with me throughout my life. To strengthen the memory the orange sun shone at my face. Definitely one of the best memories I will remember.

In hindsight "Temp. title" probably wasn't a good idea

         If you've read my past post I explicitly don't like half-assing anymore. "Temp. title" most likely says the opposite, well since it's there for all eternity, I'll just roll with it. Then again, It might provide some sort of mystery to the blog. I realize that's basically click-bait ,but then again, when have blogs not used click-bait. 

          If "temp title" ain't a good one, what is a good title for this blog. Since I'm going full force into this maybe, "Full Force F**-", No. NO! I'll probably get in trouble for that. Well since I can't think of any "appropriate" titles that suits this blog maybe "Temp. title", might've been the best choice. Since this is a Experience blog, I'll be sharing life experience, not that I've lived to experience everything.

          Next time, I'll be sharing my experience of tiring myself to the brink of exhaustion. "You'll always feel more alive when closer to death".
