freaking hell for waking up extra early and getting nothing out of it because i still left home around the same time. although i did take a different route today, and to my surprise, it kinda felt good because that route was not some dark corridor, or the back street of some blocks. walking in the sun early in the morning is for once a good change and start.
reason why i hate presentations is that i can never speak well. with a few friends only i already have trouble phrasing what i want to say, unless you want to count me acting crazy and having 'fun', that, i can do easily. but for real speaking, i sux at it... so yeah, it never fail to dawn upon me that after every presentation, be it a major one or just a small reflection, that i really am a lousy communicator.
skipped stats for the day and didn't sign attendance. well. since last semester i've told myself that i refuse to end a semester being miss goody two shoes. i am not, and will not deny that that. so let me skip class, and get some rest.
super unglam on the bus, after Janice and Vincent alighted. i changed seats and plugged my ears with earphones and slept. kept bending sideways at many instants and taking more than my seat itself. but the lucky thing is that nobody sat down beside me, so all the way until the interchange i can be as unglam and selfish as i want. strange thing is that, no matter how many times i slept on the bus, i never fail to wake up at the same junction, just before the interchange. talk about freakiness and coincidence.
one thing i realise about playing maple is that, sometimes it's boring right down to the core. i can hold for days at the same level, despite the invisible pressure that i'm 3 times lower in level as compared to the majority of the members of the guild i'm in. and sometimes, it surprises me to no end, just like that day i offered to help Shinn transfer items, and he generously threw me so many items, none of which is usable with my current level, and i realise he was the one who conversed in jap with me right on my first day as Eliard. Komali saw TheodoreJr, who dropped down from the air all of a sudden, but since Komali is pretty 6 feet underground so i didn't say anything. and sometimes, it's darn frustrating and irritating, because some of the things you search for never come, and when you least need it, it comes in huge quantity. like those weighted earrings. i swear i'm going to hate them.
and sometimes, it makes me wonder if we focused so much about internet scams and horrible sinful people online, whatever happened to the good souls out there who are just trying to have fun?
not that i've 'mapled' for very long, but i find that, despite the name, the Thieves are the ones i'll label as 'Mr. Nice Guys'. just that day, i sort of 'saved' this lvl 61 guy from dying, and he kindly escorted me to where i needed to go and even gave me items that i needed and haste-ed me. and just that day, a thief took my items, and i merely said 'oui... my items..' and he returned them with a f4 and 'i though you didn't want them already'. and when i went back thick-skinned to ask for help, he brought me throughout my whole quest. no idea why, i always have the knack of picking up thief's items, which makes me think twice whether my choice of job was correct. afterall i did want to become an assassin. but i guess mages are the easiest of all to train, so for some lazy bug like me, it's probably for the best.
incase you're wondering why this entry is so tired, that's because i had a 1 hr nightmare during my nap just now.
