They aren't just people anymore... they are MY FRIENDS.

Whew. This day was exhausting and interesting.
Rereading my previous blog post which was dreary, sad and opposite of all hope...this day proved me wrong.
To make an EXTREMELY LONG story short, during chemistry laboratory, I confronted the leader of group 6 [allegedly the ones who copied from our group that lead us to have deduction points from the previous activity, I don't really know the WHOLE story because I wasn't there when Miss Teves decided to deduct points from our group for "seemingly" letting other group(s) copy from our work], Cezar, and asked him upfront about it. He was kinda reluctant at first but I kept pressing him on 'til he finally gave in. [mwahaha, the power of being a year older]
He told me [with almost everyone in the vicinity listening] that it was Satchi that got answers from our group. So I asked him where he supposed Satchi got her answers from [coz she was absent] and he sorta pointed to Clifford.
So with that, I confronted him about it, and he sorta went all crazy and started giving empty threats to us [fellow group members]. I got all irate and plunged back his threat back to him. That's when he went mental on me. I didn't see what really happened coz I sorta walked out on him, turning my back coz I didnt want to hear his rubbish. But later, Ate Kristine told me he was so angry that he was like shaking in fury AT me. damn. I got kinda scared, but was quickly reassured when Buddy and Vani came to my side and asked me what that was all about. I told them bits and pieces of what just happened and they told me they were gonna talk to him.
It wasn't until after Chemistry lecture that I had finally got ALL of Buddy and Vani's side of the story. After they saw that Clifford was going all mental on me, a girl nonetheless; they decided to "talk" to him. They approached him in the boys' cr where Clifford went after ChemLab. Their conversation are as follows:
"Bai, yaw shagit-shagiti amo amiga bai."
"Daghan man gud ko problema sa balay bai, nya pun-an pajud ani."
"Aw, kung naa kay problema sa balay bai, ayaw dad-a sa skwelahan bai. "
"Respeto pud ta ug babaye ba..."
"Mu respeto man ko ug babaye bai...basta respetohon sad ko..."
And then he got all teary-eyed [or so Buddy and Vani says] like he was gonna cry or something. Har-har-har. Serves him right. =]
Anyway, the fact that Buddy and Vani did what I won't normally expect them to do for me really TOUCHED me. I mean, the fact that we aren't even CLOSE was not a factor they considered when they confronted Clifford. They saw that I was being disrespected and they acted on it... even if the only time we ever talk to each other is before an exam in medterms or a quiz in chem or a return-demo in healthcare... still, they felt that they HAD to defend me from Clifford.
You know, before this day I hadn't considered them my "friends". Just acquaintances that I happen to see at school and share classes with. But after today, I look at them at a different light. They aren't people I just share classrooms with; they aren't just two guys constantly poking fun at anything or anyone, never taking their studies seriously; they aren't just classmates that ask me for an extra ballpen or what we are gonna do for the next class... they aren't these characteristics anymore...
Because from now on, I guess they are MY FRIENDS. =D

I guess, people like me deserve some good days too.

This day by far is the best one in all of my memory.

Instead of the usual happy events concluded by one sad moment that rips everything apart, today the dya started out just the opposite.

I was still quite pissed at my brother and my mom for the fiasco that happened last Friday night and I wasn't in the mood for anything. Not to talk, not to eat and not even to go to church [to hear mass]. I was pretty steamed all morning, even my dad started to notice it and began to ask me what's wrong. But I did not give him the benefit of a reply. Inside I was fuming.

Breakfast was hell. Church was hell. Heck, just being in the car with them all was suffocating. So I was mighty glad when my mom mentioned we were going to downtown Colon for some shopping. If there was anything that could ease my mood, it'd be 3 things: food, internet and shopping. I already tried the 1st one last Friday night after the fiasco but the next morning I woke up with a sour mood. The second one I tried yesterday [Saturday] and still when I woke up from my afternoon siesta, my mood was blacker than ever. So I guess the prospect of shopping to lighten my mood would be the last resort.

Well, guess what, it worked! [a bit]. By midday, I was nearly back to my old self again. ALMOST. But not quite... yet.

It wasn't until lunchtime that I was finally restored [haha, as if I was broken?]. The thing that made me smile again was the new mp4 player my aunt gave me as her belated birthday gift. ^_^

Shallow as it may seem, but music is my HAPPINESS. I have been putting aside some of my allowance for the very reason of purchasing an mp4 player for my music fixation, when out of the blue, the HEAVENS SMILED DOWN UPON me and gave me one instead!!! woohoo!!!

The rest of the day continued to go uphill and haven't suffered any major setbacks ever since... I guess the worst changing for the best [or nearly best] could happen in my life too.
