Storms rock. There's the sunshine afterward to look forward to.

A Crazy Day
This morning, my view that girls are better than guys was proven right yet again. We were walking from the hostel to the bus stop like everyone's average TJC scholar, and once we reached there, since the bus hadn't arrived since, well, 9 years before or something, the bus stop was congested with people. No, it was more like the molecules of a solid particle.
But anyway, there was this narrow lane for walking which we provided for the other members of the community to walk through, since after all, our school's core values include
integrity and
care for others. So, there was this random scholar who walked through the lane to get to the even-more-congested center of the bus stop. With two cyclists right on his tail ringing their bells madly.
Of course, he didn't hear. Why? Because like almost every member of our relatively anti-social generation (I can hear the parents say "HAH!" around now), he was plugged into his iPod. So we gesture to him like wild monkeys and he finally gets the hint and avoids the cyclist behind him. And wedges himself back in the lane, not noticing the second cyclist.
We gesture again. He doesn't notice. The second cyclist patiently follows behind him until the lane gets wider, and then he shoots after his friend. After witnessing this saga, the group of us start chattering. About what? D'uh. But you should see the difference.
Girls: "OMG OMG OMG He could have died! Or, like, gotten seriously hurt!"
Guys: "OMG OMG OMG Did you SEE the Mercedes Benz T-shirt the second guy was wearing??"
The girls have their priorities right, man.
Today was the day of the school's annual track meet, and as an official, I had a hell of a time (literally) standing in the swelteringly hot sun checking that the baton-passers passed that insanely shiny stick properly, and holding up green and red cards to signal Mr. Sim as if I was some soccer referee. I was sunburnt like crap, but I do thank God for the clouds that prevented it from becoming sunstroke or something. What's more, tomorrow, I'm an official at the Duathlon Challenge. I'm gonna get more sunburnt.
To my dear classmates: At flag-raising on Monday, you will see a brown-eyed, red-boned skeleton standing in front of your line. Fear not, for I have not become an undead, I am merely a victim of the scalding powers of our own star
Solaris.
I recently met up with one of my best female friends, who strongly recommended this song to me. I agree wholeheartedly with it (Sorry, guys...)
Never Underestimate A Girl
by Vanessa Hudgens
It takes a girl to understand
Just how to win
She knows...She can
I think it's clear
Who wears the pants
What boy...could stand...a chance
[Vamp]
She makes it look easy
In control completely
She'll get the best of you...every single...time
Thought by now you'd realize you should
[Chorus]
Never underestimate a girl
Gets anything she wants
She's never gonna stop
(You know it...we know it)
Never underestimate a girl
She's always got a plan
The world is in her hands
She got the lipstick
Puts it together
Boys have it good
But girls have it better...(watch out)
Your secretary might
End up your boss
Whether you...really like it...or not
[Vamp]
She makes it look easy
In control control completely
She'll get the best of you... every single...time
That's right...no no no you should
[Chorus]
Never underestimate a girl
Gets anything she wants
She's never gonna stop
(You know it...we know it)
Never underestimate a girl
She's always got a plan
The world is in her hands
She might be the president
Make all the rules
Don't try to win the game
You're only gonna lose
Now girls you know we got it
Got it goin on
We've been tryin to tell them all along
Listen up guys
Take a little sound advice
[Chorus]
Never underestimate a girl
Gets anything she wants
She's never gonna stop
(You know it...we know it)
Never underestimate a girl
She's always got a plan
The world is in her hands
