Got nothing

sorry lost for words.

Had fun at mizuya

Sometimes, people just don't read your paper

Yeah don't you hate that feeling?

Anyways, exam results as always are terrible. Hope they aren't when we get our ATAR's though that would be D:

So its holidays coming up, not coming to school tomorrow cos i have other reasons. Enjoy your holidays.
Sorry not much to say

Past-Time: Gaming

I'm making this blog post as i won't be here for a string of  6 days starting on xmas day :O. This means im gonna miss out on a blog post, which will be number 50, and hence ill make this 49, and next week's to be 50.


Time to take a look back and think how much of a gamer i really am:

Remember back when we played games that operated on floppy disks? Yeah, i still have some of them, and they look like atari games, so cute but i think it caused my addiction to gaming.

I remember i would go to stores and watch other people game, and imagine myself playing those games. Its funny, now that i'm the person who simply plays some games. <3 gaming at target and other stores.

Then going to friend's houses, i would always envy their consoles, with their playstations and nintendo 64's it always made me sad. But after finally being able to comprehend what i was doing, i picked up final fantasy 7. Say what you want, it made me sad, cos i died in the first reactor cos i didn't know you were meant to talk to jessie. D: Anyways, from then on ive always been a devoted final fantasy fan, and slowly but surely fitted myself into strategy games.

But i had a few stints of first person shooters and other RPG's. For example, Counter-strike. I first played that at one of my family friend's houses, and i got killed by an awp in the foot. First death ever in CS. never liked awps in CS ever again. Play me in CS and i'll take you down with pistols. WORD.

Next were those RPG's such as Runescape. I think what inspired me to play it was seeing someone play it in eastwood library, yes i went to eastwood library a few times.

There is no point in telling you what levels i got to in those games, i never find them much fun after a while. Now here's something i have to admit, those websites such as gaiaonline and habbo all simply came due to my sister playing them. Yeah weird i know but i've played them too. If you can considered them to be playable.

As time grew on, i got engrossed into games such as Age of _____ type games. As those who went to ash's party would know, i'm much of a resource gatherer, but i like it that way. I played a couple of starcraft broodwar back then, played each of the races and then figured that to beat the BOT at sc2, you either turtle or cheese them. LOL

I've also played a couple of the newer games here and there, but i don't prefer those high action games, makes me tired. So just last year like the rest of the world, i started playing facebook games, such as mafiawars and others, but in the end, it was just too much hard work and i stopped it.

Nowadays i simply play strategic games, but challenge myself by putting restrictions on each level or something similar. You might ask why don't you just straightup finish the game? Well it's more amusing beating them when you run your resources thin, makes the victory more eventful and emotional. It's like a rollercoaster absolutely fun with its highs and lows.

So currently as some may now, i'm stuck into a few particular challenges with results of them pending:

Flying pokemon-only challenge: EMERALD - ELITE FOUR. (Restriction YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO CAPTURE ONE OF EACH FLYING POKEMON!!!)
Fire pokemon-only challenge: 4th Gen (need to get my hands on this but not until the above challenge is complete)
Fire emblem 7: solo-switch (ask me for details if you want to know)
Fire emblem 7: lords-only (pointless cos its already done before)
Fire emblem 8: max levels (make everyone level 20 by last level with max promotions)
Final Fantasy 10: something. i forgot what, i've given up on it, cos it's just not mathematically possible to beat jecht QQ


Anyways thats what i can remember about my history of gaming. Thanks crys for the idea!

Anxious Silence

Does anyone ever get that feeling that they get really stressed cos its really quiet? I think i got a bit of those in chem and 4u. Nevermind, maybe its just my nerves screwing me over again.

As per usual exam week is never absolutely wonderful, you get your hits and misses and a definite miss is killing my battery. Its dead GOODBYE NETBOOK! but yeah, should i buy a battery that will force me to hand it back in, or should I buy my own personal netbook? What are your thoughts, cos i have no idea.

And once again, thanks so much for everyone that polled, even if i asked you to, you guys are awesome!

Till next time,
Moko

Lost for words

No improvements to any of my assessment tasks from today, which really is quite bad. SOrry guys trying to focus but here's a question anyways:

Which one of the visual texts did you like best? - Idea from Average.

EDiT: so for the poll on the right, i will consider from the 3 choices that reached the top 3, i must admit, i was quite surprised hitmonCHAN- idea from harvard- came up top in popularity. 

suspicion

sometimes its amazing to see how paranoid people are, although probably not as much as i was last game. LOL. ive won so i think i'm happy LOL. anyways, i'll be putting up jersey choices so if you could please vote that would be awesome. And don't forget to pay for your jersey and your teacher's jerseys too!

be different. go out of routine.

Hey guys, i got back from tennis training and suddenly remembered what i was meant to ask.

'What do you want me to put on my jersey?'

This is an actual serious question, i plan on polling on it quite soon so please reply^^

If you have troubles posting as a comment don't worry about scrolling down and entering your response into the c-box for this. i want some feedback if possible ^^

For when you have no idea to say

you ask the people that read. what would you put here?

sorry guys really no idea what to write this week. too busy maybe next time it will be significantly longer :/

I watched a few interesting youtube videos, and there are some games which just know how to outhack you when you hack it. Ive probably said this before, but i just want to touch on it as it affects my opinion of the conclusion of this game. Ever tried hacking fire emblem then come across a silver sword myrmidon in the arena when your at level 20? Not fun, especially when you max out speed and the myrmidon doubles you.

Well i think the end game of our interpretation of 'assassins' was rather crude, and i accept it usually ends up that way, but cheating is inevitable, its just the amount of 'cheating' that occurs that should dictate your choice of actions. Do i think i should have won? Well my intention was simply to get someone in our group to the top 10, make sure i last longer then the betrayer, and make it last longer than a week. Then when the host turned against us, that was added and to do that, i had to simply survive. The moral is, be wary but don't be stupid, that is people may have made agreements that people only want for their own interests,  but in a complex strategy game like assassins you have to keep thinking what am i missing? There is no point going around slicing and dicing everyone as if your a tank, if you've ever played fe, you will know that even your assassins with a killing edge can still die. Assassins are units that specialise in sneak attacks with their silencer skill. Never, ever think that being an Assassin means you have to kill everyone immediately. take your time, gather info and strike when appropriate.

So this leads me to my question and sorry that this post was so involved by some strange game:
If you were to change your tactic what would you change? And if you didn't want to, explain why you think your strategy would be appropriate for you.

Progress without amusement

Why does it feel like the week went by productively but extremely boringly? It seems very difficult to be constructive and i'm starting to get really frustrated at how productive free periods seem compared to studying at home. That being said, there really hasn't been much that happened this week. That Halloween event that was supposedly quite awesome, i didn't do anything for, due to money. What has happened is that our teachers are seemingly getting angrier at us being so late to class except for the angry teacher who has become in my opinion one of the nicest teachers to teach a senior subject. It's strange how that has happened, the teacher we were all meant to fear has become the one that i've enjoyed class the most in, even though people like Average and Dandelion have left.

I'm sure many of you have the reaction:REPORTS! YAY! but for me its always been quite a depressing experience due to my lack of consistency. That being said i don't have any motivation to improve besides getting into university. I always end up asking why i can't decide on what to do after school life. People always ask that question, but i just don't know how to answer them.

Enough of my ponderings, 'What sort of entertainment keeps you occupied the most, and what sort of thing bores you the most?'

Under Arrest

I can't believe i fell for Benic's trick dammit. i even heard it from tim and rappy -.-. Well i guess that's too bad, i really can't say much else cos my mind really doesn't know what else to say.

What question would you love to ask everyone?

High Five for Failure!

First of all, i just realised that i forgot to post yesterday like i should have but just was too paranoid to post. Sorry sometimes i have those conundrums >_>. Now then, finally after most of our results are back i can't remember if we haven't got something weird and wonderful back but um, yeah generally they have been quite bad. You might wonder why i didn't post something about this thing earlier, but its because i don't like 'jinx-ing' myself, and obtaining marks that make me disappointed. One thing i learnt from prelim years, always keep your studying steady light initially but continually widespread so you can handle all tasks provided. Its a unique balance between completing all your homework from school and the homework from tuition, because of the sense of security given to you from tutoring homework as you know you are slightly ahead.

Anyways back to the title of the post, in the subject where my teacher just drones on and on, i high-fived B.X several times after we both epically flunked everything we did to the point where i received an unacceptable mark for my essay :O

I really have no idea what else to say, except i probably ate the most unhealthiest dinner today. I never knew that potato chips go cold so quickly.

'If you could enhance one of your sense what would it be?'

Reshuffle!

So this week was hectic, finally the realisation of the HSC is dawning on our friend tim, and the huge scramble to get subject changes form signed happened today. With the finally declared 4unit classes now established we have had some major reshuffling in our classes. I hope that all those who tried for 4unit but didn't make it, isn't the end all for their uni aspirations. To those in 4unit congratulations to everyone, and to ischuck congratulations on the medal!

First of all i have to say thank you very much to happy apple although not actually being here, i received the teeth staining drink with my name on it =D Another thing that has happened is that people who are dropping the subject have a tendency to do math in that class. Just odd not necessarily a bad thing.

To average, who may or may not read this blog, i hope you can see where i came from blog wise.

So my question to you all is a bit weird: 'If you have to change classes in one of your subjects, what subject would it be? and what class would you hope to get into?'

So if you haven't seen this blog since the last post, i have to first ask if you like the template. @Renee: thanks for the picture, but it seems like i had to change the HTML source code to change the font colour, i hope you like it.

So these holidays haven't been exceptionally productive, but hey i can't say much.

i've forgotten what to say, so i'll just ask what's on my pm: 'What's the worst game you have ever played?' this includes those pesky ice breaker games. :p

'It's my birthday, thanks for asking'

Its really interesting having a birthday that is scheduled smack bang in the middle of the holidays. I mean its great to know you shouldn't need to study, but if you can't or don't organize a party you don't get to be with friends as a result. I have to raise this point up after heaps of people say, 'Isn't it awesome that your birthday is in the holidays?'. Not really, because people go overseas, and on top of that since they haven't been putting their bum to seats filling in papers or frantically typing essays. What i'm attempting to say is that the enjoyment and relief of a party or even a birthday celebration subsides with the holidays. Reason? well i believe its partly due to the fact that people no longer have to relieve themselves of the stress education and work provides. Also i think its the mood of the holidays, you just become so much more relaxed anyways and procrastinate sun up and sun down.

Well i think i should put some stats up just for you blog readers and trolls to read. out of the over 500 friends i have on facebook, less than 90 said anything. Interestingly, the first was someone that i know out of school.

How about another interesting thing? On both of the outings i went to, only two people said 'happy birthday'. maybe because it hadn't happened yet, or maybe because i'm considered on the outs of the group? I have no idea guys, but thats just something i noticed. On that note: @Icedtrees: hope you like your prezzie.

I'm going to go on a tangent here, but why was it called the commune people? I feel like there's a lack of touch base and until i left there was a complete lack of activity. Maybe i guess, because you guys are soo deeply involved with your gaming careers, but it seems like i can't trust most of you guys. Sorry if you guys just realised, but sometimes the way people act after i guess one of the 'minions' leave the pack, can seem as suspicious behaviour. On that note, i thank JM for actually saying his opinion when i chose to leave the fb group.

So then onto a similar but different topic, holidays and work. Why is it that during holidays that you feel unwilling to do more work then you usually do on a regular basis, but also feel that if you don't do more, you're totally screwing yourself in the foreseeable future? My parents constantly whine about me not doing enough homework, and this not getting yourself into a routine. But to counter that argument is that leading edge course graph, which stated that if you blow heaps of hours of work early, you'll end up burning out. How do you know whether your study is effective? and furthermore, if its effective?

I mean I read most of people's blogs, which either consists of unfortunate events (happy apple get better soon, we are praying for you!), slight procrastination or crazy amounts of intense study? Yes, there are the occasional blog about an outing, but to those who do the intense study with particular focus on one subject? how do you guys do it? And do you think you guys can last doing that all year (assuming you change from subject to subject)?

Up to this point, i must say it's been a rather disappointing holidays, and sure everytime i say that people will always say 'look on the bright side blah blah blah', but sometimes you just have to be realistic. It hasn't been filled with study, or crammed full with productive study, but it hasn't been the ultimate bludge either. Furthermore, the day every year i usually look forward too, i felt a foreshadowing of gloom and boredom. Somehow it turned out to be that way, with the most exhilarating event being cancelled last minute due to weather conditions. Overall it was a bland day, nothing special.

So, someone else suggested organising an outing to celebrate my birthday, but it just feels wrong, after giving most of my social group the chance to say hbd, and some even a double dose, that to make an event happen just because of that, would show my isolation if not a sense of arrogance. Probably this whole blog shows both of those emotions, and now that i think about it, those two words isolation and arrogance seem so different but like black and white, come with each other.

I could keep on going off on tangents here and there, but hey, this is my blog which has frequent short posts and the odd long post, so i run it how i like to. The threat of going overboard never happened and the transitional holidays has been less than eventful. For better or worse, this is life and we should take it as it is.

So this post is to cover my post that i missed a while back. Hope you guys like the change. Just don't expect it everytime.

See ya!

Whoo!

Hey guys,

so there are two blog outings these holidays, sadly i can only make the earlier one. However the numbers for both are rather unknown as far as i can tell. But at least i think the details of the first is to meet up at castle hill AMP bowling at around 1pm. That's my interpretation of the email that Neku provided.

Now then, how productive have your holidays been all, readers and trolls?

Hope you guys enjoy procrastinating or being productive!

Hope i don't ruin my own stage band performance in Manly >_> on my birthday. GG

its OVA i tell you its OVA!

exams are finally over so i can go back into my routine of posting every week. Since its holidays i might sneak in a post on a random day to cover the missed post from last week. I must say, going to school for everyday of the exam period is draining. Sure it sucks when you have a double exam, but at least you can keep focused on the exams and not get drawn into procrastination. Also the more spread out your exams are, the more drained you get towards the end of the exam, i felt exhausted after chem was over. I couldn't even celebrate hardcore its over, although after maths extension was over, it felt completely over already.

So then, ive been asked and stated no, but for those interested there's some medicine lecture on this sunday at north ryde i believe. If your going goodluck in med if you take the course in uni!

My question to you guys is:
Do you find holidays more boring then school? Why or Why not?

I think i'll put in my opinion on this at the end of the holiday break just so as not to jinx myself lol. Hope you guys stay positive and maybe i'll see you somewhere if you want to see me. And if you don't then hope you don't see me either!

Pressure

Things are getting quite tense aren't they? I think posting is a short by useful release from all this studying. Hope everyone does well in their studies.

Sorry for the short post, just can't think of much. Anyways the question i'm thinking of:

What causes you to procrastinate the most?

Cos frankly for me, its the frustration of not completing a challenge.

Open Days

I feel disappoint. I missed out on USYD and UTS. Well ive avoided one week of tutoring for this once a year opportunity and hopefully come back from it knowing what i want to do. :/

Sorry for the late and short post but here's the question:

If you made a code that was ridiculously hard to crack, would you bet on people not being able to solve the code in a reasonable amount of time?

This question comes from the stuff Bobo has been doing lately, who has never had one of his things cracked.

Hamlet and Exams

I'll make it short because this isn't all too significant.

Today we went out to penrith where we have performed for band. There we saw this shakespeare presentation which actually was alright, somewhat boring as i barely understood what was said, i understood what happened though.

Also the other refers to something thats been on my mind all week, after burning my hand in chem prac exam. So yeah, how do you like your exam timetable? And how many exams do you have?


I have exams one day after the other, for the first 7 days, so if anyone has any suggestions as to how i should structure my exam prep, im all ears.

4 - letters

make many words. Although in this case it refers to an acronym or an abbreviation of a word. Its what's dominated this week and now i have backlog of stuff to do, but im celebrating the end of all of this stress by going to the event run by the house captains.

So then for a short post hopefully i have a short question: What will you do when exams are over?

Trials

People may know that certain intelligent individuals within each and every school are completing their high school trials. People may also know that some of those individuals are undergoing musical performances and one of those people decided to call on the BHHS Concert Band to play with him in one of his trial pieces. Can i say he is amazingly awesome on the trombone as he is personality wise.I'm sure most if not all of us have similar personalities but at least i think we played to a certain point of respectability.

On that note: What is your special talent? (to those trolls out there, it can be trolling)


So then to those who are accelerated in my grade and are cramming for economics HSC trials goodluck!. to those in year 12 that read this goodluck and goodwishes to the conclusion of your lives in high school. and to those who have minor examinations such as the biology examination good luck to you too!

Well then have fun trolling this post you trolls.

Past Times: Nickname

Most of you know/ should have heard of this, but for those of you who haven't, i have an apparent 'nickname'. Now for those of you that love to call me by that, do so in your own time without me hearing it, i get irritated and annoyed and frustrated and more often than not will lash out. It's actually one of the reasons why i got detentions.

Well lets start from what i remember probably was the beginning and hopefully make it alive to the end:

Back in yr 5&6 as probably most if not all of us were preparing for our selective schools test, aspiring to get into schools that we had only heard of: 'James Ruse Agricultural High School' and 'Baulkham Hills High School' etc, like most Asian kids around my area, i went to tutoring. For the record, i have done tutoring since yr2, but swot shop tutoring doesn't help in anything besides multiple choice lol. Back on topic, it was at a place that some people would know as 'James Ann, Eastwood'. I was the only person that i knew that went to the place, but i met some good friends such as g (s) z and dan fan. You guys probably don't remember, but i also met V Lee. I remember playfully g.(s).z coined the name 'Buk tooth', on me because my teeth were sticking forward - one of the main reasons as to accepting the offer of going through the pain of braces. but anyways, i only went there for around 4-5 weeks as my parents found it inconvenient and they didn't really trust the people that ran the place, so i switched to Pre Uni. But the stories of what happened there is totally irrelevant to this topic. So basically thats where 'Buk' come from which you can probably guess slided into 'bok'.

So began the mellow years of yr7, where most of us were wide-eyed kids with no idea what was happening, i have to admit i was one of them but i tried to settle in by making friends with Benzoino and F. C. (something i never knew would eventually become a big downfall on my behalf). Anyways, after the first day of school, we as a class 7O, would mainly walk to class together and chat amongst ourselves and quickly we realised that we had the uncontrollable and crazy class containing 'the group'. For those of you who don't know, people included, c.d., dh, v.lui, cho, rappy, c. s., c.k, and some others. Most of those names people may recognise and think sounds alright, but the one person who changed my life was Cho.

People always ask me why i hate Cho, and really now that i think about it, the main reason was quite simply was that he was a bully. From the outset he was the loudmouth of the class, essentially a clown and would pick apart at people's abnormality and on top of that a VERY PROUD korean. Now don't get me wrong, i like korea, and i love their people, but i dont like the attitude he brought. Why? I remember a couple of times how he said he could only think about liking Korean's or really pretty Asian girls. now that seems alright, but the first thing he hurt was my religious belief. Some of you know, that i am a Catholic and im not afraid of it, and constantly the rest of you complain at the wrong we did and that's all cool, but what he said was like Deep cuts into the heart. I recall him labelling Catholics as low as 'Niggers'. Now that is harsh in my opinion and well i brushed it off thinking that i didnt have to talk to him.

Back onto the actual events of School, i recall being late to class, turning off the lights in G block where Mr Hopper was very angry at us for that. But i think in the second week of Art he used the name 'Buk Choi'. I remember him saying that he gave the nickname because of the 'buk' of my teeth and the Hair made the Choi. You guys probably think this is funny, but when you think the whole grade is calling you this, you can't really do much but accept it, especially since i was still a stick back then. - Note that's why i have the change in hairstyle and i will never accept a bowl cut ever again. Anyways i succumbed to peer pressure and got the nickname stuck on me. To this day some people refer to me by that name.



@Dandelion: I am soo sorry about hitting you in yr7, i just had no other way of really trying to ignore the verbal abuse. You can hit me as much as you want know,

Later that year, i remember there was a strange incident that something happened and my brain exploded and i got picked on by even f.c. and benzoino. those probably was the darkest of times, when some people might recall where i tried to smash my skull in by smashing my head into walls of G and E block. I got increasingly frustrated, and my hole deepened even further. Each time i cried i knew things got worse, and people told me not to cry but being an emotional person i really can't hold it back. Anyways, things fell to pieces for me, and i couldn't wait for year 7 to finish, i remember holding a half smile leaving yr7 hoping that things would ease in year 8.

As an aside that most people dont know, every night i would devise a plan to somehow eradicate that name from myself, but i couldnt get enough confidence to just act upon it. Then as the year turned around, roll calls changed and we started to break away from each other. My friend and eventually the person who i could turn to trust the most, was someone i met in OC but never really talked to much before, J C. I slowly assimilated into what would become 'Sam's group'. Initially S.K. didn't really like the idea, but meh, it eventually worked despite being picked on again in year 8 by a totally different group of people.

I recall a few things that stayed, which were the Tech classes in which Cho was still in, and a big pain in the arse as he always was but i met a new set of people, a mix of great people and some really not nice people. I think more of you remember D.K, who ended up becoming a 'Loner' who was with J.G and M.Z who would become the new set of bullies. However in year 8 i really did everything i could to avoid being near them, but unfortunately being in my science classes i had to face them on a daily basis. The ridicule and nicknaming continued onwards, and my social support who were literally holding my head above water was Jordon Liu in science classes. The pain would further ensue when A.R. who was trying to help me offered me the chance to sit near him but only to be craftfully denied by S.M.. I'm sorry S.M., but because of this, and the whole negative phase i was in when this happened, i don't think ive had many options but to really dislike you. Anyways, life was quite bland and i always felt like i had a dark rain cloud above me whilst i was in most of my classes but math. I really enjoyed math for that reason, as i met very supportive friends in particular Toan. Some of you guys might think, Toan supportive? but he helped me out heaps i have to thank him for it. Back on topic, some days i wouldnt be teased, but every week around tuesday or wednesday the trio would wreck my day somehow, and in english i finally had one of my larger meltdowns. That was when people started to realise i was in frustration and pain, and afterwards i would continually try to cut myself - the emo phase.

This continued but wasn't as heavy as i absorbed myself into a card game known as Magic the Gathering. Really it was majorly stress relief. Anyways im starting to lose track of where my memory lies next.

In year 9 was when i started to feel more happier, and i met a really awesome person, he is JM. Although very silent he was at least appreciative of the things people do, and i started to realise the cynical nature of what certain people would become. I myself i admit, am cynical to an extent but i learnt to make new friends, using the friendships i already had and i created links with people especially in history and science. What i remember that did affect me the most was one of those days after P.E. I recall i unluckily got pulled into rugby or soccer and people began to tease once again. But in year 9, i no longer just cried from the outset i got pissed and kicked, weak as it is, i tried to fight back. But that afternoon in english with Ingersoll, i had a true meltdown starting with me pushing down a table which gave big alarm bells to people. I also recall it was winter, as i wrapped my eyes with my black scarf and began to consume myself in some of the anger and frustration building up in me. Then i was told by Ingersoll to go outside and clam down, but it only made it worse as i struck myself by punching the brick wall unleashing pain within my arm. But my anger got the better of me and i thumped on and on consuming myself in the negative thoughts. I spent a whole double trying to relieve myself of the negativity which halfway through the first Fiona Li tried to comfort me, but really i just wouldnt bring myself to hearing it.

I also remember English in year 9 being very horrid, not only did i receive poor marks, but i received the biggest indicator of isolation ever on the last day of term. And a party ensued only to which the first person had mentioned all day that it was my birthday. Obviously the birthday song started but strangely enough the other Aaron (G.) had decided to randomly join the party and when they turned to an Aaron to say happy birthday to, most people looked at him. I felt not just embarassed but angry. From that moment onwards i knew people either 1 hated me, 2 didn't think i existed or 3 were just being slack. i recall telling the class that i hated most of them. It was true, at that moment i felt like i had been stabbed in the heart and really to this question i dont think people understand that i dont believe that we all love each other despite 'gradelove'. I mean its a great thing and all, but i have never seen a single message on grade love about me, which wasnt trolling me. Like seriously i honestly feel like i dont belong at times.

In year 10, much of the nicknaming began to disappear and i dont think ive ever been so frustrated or completely distraught about it as i did back then.

Maybe you don't understand my feelings, and maybe you still think im a total idiot. But that's totally fine. Just remember do not ever call me 'Bok Choi' or variations of that. I have forever been tainted by it and will and can now throw punches. I do not accept any more of this mockery and if i hear of it, i will tell it to your face that i don't like it regardless whether or not you are a guy or a girl.

So that hopefully ends all the talk on that. if you want any further details you can ask me in real life, and i have one final question for you:

Have you ever been bullied to the point of meltdown? If so, how have you changed from it? Of course i don't expect many of you to answer this, but i feel the need to get this weight off my shoulders.

Till next time.

-Note: This has most names edited out after a week of viewing for intended audiences-

Social Networks

Its funny, ive been checking out when i post things, and everytime i post on fb that i have new blog posts, it spikes up the next day. Anyways, a lot of events have been happening and i know this post is late, but i'll try to make up for it this week.


So then, to all you fb users, 'Do you like the new facebook chat?' because frankly, i hate it. I even prefer using hotmail now, its just that horrid.


Till next time!

lies

I haven't posted in a long while, but i intend for this post to be short.

Why do people desire to know when people are lying?

And what defines a lie? Is it how well it is pulled off, or is it the content or is it both or is it something else entirely?

These questions stem from my last formspring question.

Ask me questions on formspring: http://www.formspring.me/mokonasakaidono

Breezy

I'm sure everyone in Australia remembers the wind earlier this week. Not only was it windy, but it was cold too. Thankfully for me, i got to stay home for most if not all of it. So yeah ive been mildly productive doing a substantial amount of math and doing a bit of sciences.

At this point in time im most worried about the two camps that occur nearby to each other. Why? Because it means i have less time to prepare stuff like physics assignment. Also i am SOOO screwed for my session in youth camp. Just putting it out there.

Well then to all those who still read this blog which i am soo sorry has barely any posts:

Have you ever regretted something that you did/didn't do? If so, if you could turn back time to fix it, would you fix it?

Tableturner

Strange title i know, but i'll explain later on.

First of all to all those going on that fabulously educational camp known as ISS. glhf.
Now then, sounds like i screwed up english this term, but hey not much i can do about it. But that's alright, why because i've never been great at english so yeah i never know what im going to do for it.

Suprisingly it seems like i have a solid chance at getting into 4u now. *I can actually breathe properly now.*
I know most people are disappointed with their marks, but for those who are. Don't worry its only worth 20% and you still have the opportunity to destroy us all in the yearly. Just keep thinking positive! For those who are pleased then nice work, just keep it up and we'll make it through together.

Well then my question for the week will be:
What subject in high school do you enjoy the most? Try to be specific, i.e. if you say science specify either the year or if its senior school what actual subject.

I apologise for the late post this week. I hope to see you soon!

Epic

That five hundred game was epic. especially that open mozair and you guys know it :D also more context for the title: Ben Xia told me that my film music was very epic. hahaha

Well then guys, how did you guys find the exams that you have done these last few weeks?Do you find them constantly getting harder or is it just me?

If you don't already know, i love harder tests because its harder for people to get full marks. That being said i still bet that JM is going to get either none or one mark loss in total for 3U. Anyone what to bet against me?

Well then one more week to go and for everyone going to live aid have fun! and those performing good luck and rock that stage!!!


Post for the week done :D

Release of Anger and Frustration

Have you ever felt like the school is totally trying to screw with you? Well at this point in time i feel like school is doing exactly that. You can ask me online why its so but im just frustrated and i cant concentrate with my math.

RAGE

Thanks wall, you take all the hits without hitting back. :D

Frustration

As of context to the title thats how im feeling towards my homework load and Duke of Edinburgh Organisation.
Well this week has been truly packed and i believe its been a strain on all of us. Basically to sum it up for me its been:
Sunday- Session leading day and the first sign of stress
Monday - Queen's birthday (full of maths and study)
Japan Day - the day of fun and joy and hope.
Wednesday - the day of boredom and annoyance
Thursday - the day of disappointment (physics results extremely disappointing)
Friday - the day of satisfaction (satisfaction with the report and satisfaction that we have got some stuff done for english presentation!)

I'll wait and see what's the day going to be like tomorrow.
So for the question:

How has your week been?

Late Night

The context of the title is that im writing this up late at night so sorry if there are any errors.

Well ive had a think about what i've done as a peer support leader and impulsively i dont think i could have done much more. I don't think that primarily its my fault that my group is rather shy. Its quite odd because the initially really confident people slowly changed to the shy whilst the mildly confident ended up brimming with excitement. If that makes any sense to you then maybe you'll amuse me. Otherwise i think peer support has been a nice experience quite joyful at time but strenuous how my amigo decides to read off the sheet very often. Well if anything ive been a games thinker producing games left right and centre. hopefully the year 7's don't kill the school.

City trips for band is a real pain in the neck so ive been folding paper cranes on the way there. Killing two birds with one stone. :D

well time for the question:

How did you find your experience in the first year of this school? and if this applies: how has it differed now?

Rope.

Such a simple obstacle that we could not surpass. First of all im sorry if i caused grief on the last rope attempt. Anyways, the incursion today was rather nice, you can take any opinion on it whatsoever but i found it pleasant simply because we were out of class for the whole day! Well then a few more facts for you guys to know, i got elastics on my braces now. D: My orthodontist stated that one of the points is extremely hard to get to. QQ In other news, next week will be filled with insanity with things happening nearly everyday.  How prepared are you for the tests at the end of term? I sure aint.

So the question of today is:
How did you find the session today? And do you agree with the comments other people gave you?

Well thats a summation of today's different events, i dont record what i do in the week so i can make lengthy posts. And so ends another day of our lives.

Imagination

Definitely a word i picked up in english today. probably one of the only ones but at least its a start^^. Well anyways, im sure nearly everyone has english advanced back. So therefore aside from extension i hope everyone is happy with their results! Now then, these upcoming weeks are going to get even more hectic with several events happening all over the place, which leads me to the thinking that DoE will have to be pulled back yet another term. I AM SOOOO SORRY GUYS!!!!

Also that guy from PwC was rather interesting, especially since he's essentially a 1st yr cadet, lolololol. Question time, and before you start yelling at me for being so lame, im sorry if this is a bland question.

According to you, what is the meaning of life?

The 'wow' factor

Have you ever seen those shows where it seems to miss something? 'the wow factor' is probably missing, i recall the first time playing through Final Fantasy 4 i was disappointed by the story. It didn't move me as much as ff5 or fan favourite Final Fantasy 7. Well thats my ramble for the day.

Question: How did you spend your time in the holidays before exams? Vigorous study? 'Actually holidaying? or a mix of both?

Slices of lemon

Sorry guys for not posting for the last couple of weeks. Didn't mean it. seriously. Well i hope everyone is somewhat pleased by some if not all of their results. Hope you dont go all crazy and lose your faith in society just because of one test mark, stay positive! I know my exam results was a mixed bag but so has the events of my life. I got promoted in church, lost the plot against the AI in fire emblem, and happily enjoyed leaving school after exams knowing that an exam was over.

From that comes the next question: How did you feel after one of your exams? And how did you feel after the exams were over but you hadn't gotten the test papers back?

I think I'll make that a part of each of my posts from now on. Well then ill make up for missing out on the weeks i have by posting some short posts.

Title: The lemon tree in my backyard created many lemons. I had a slice of lemon, it was initially sweet then turned real sour. Fun.

if you could, would you shoot the moon?

if you could, would you shoot the moon?

Answer here

Crash and Burn

Sorry guys, my computer has been crashing lately, the old modem fried and the router burned to death. Well then one more week of hell to be unleashed in the houliston center and then some peace and tranquility. Not much more to say really. Good luck!

Quick Fact

I Decided to write out my essay to test my wpm. and gosh its so slow. I really am doubting that i can complete the exam now. Sighhhhh.Well then. that shall be all.

(apx. 23wpm.) SIGHH

It's a sad day

I hope you know what i'm talking abt, it's good friday which fYI, is not a happy occasion. It made me so unhappy that i procrastinated all day, completing 0 tests all day. I hope you guys are prepared for exams, whatever they are^^. I am still freaking out about the prospect of getting destroyed in english, but hey, thats alright, i still have time to master this insanely subjective subject. -alliteration maybe.

Well then. Hope you can enjoy your holidays/ study hard throughout the rest of them. As we inch closer in time towards our epic moments of pressure, may we pull through and become better people.

From a Baulko student yr11, 2011

From Cairns to Studying

Oh gosh that failed as a title,

Anyways, Cairns was a splice of fun, got to eat some drumsticks, feel nemo, and their anenanenanename. whatever its called. Also i got to walk through daintree rainforest yet another world heritage site which took for ages to access, spot some pretty ulysees butterflies, go into the botanical gardens, go on the world's longest sky rail, fill myself with food whilst doing all that and losing 500G! YAY!. anyways, the trip to cairns would have been awesome if it wasnt for two things. My parents arguing everywhere and the time it took to get to somewhere. gosh it takes forever, even my economics textbook quickly became more amusing then the scenery. Sugar cane, sugar cane, sugar cane, sugar cane, tree!, sugar cane, sugar cane, sugar cane, sugar cane, sugar cane, sugar cane, sugar cane, tree!. I think you get what im onto there.

SO then my question to all those who care enough to read this post.
How much have you studied this first wk of holz? If so, what subjects? If not so, what have you been doing?

Airplanes

~ Can we pretend that the airplanes in the night sky are shooting stars? ~

I'm leaving tomorrow so i wont get to post next week so im hoping i can make for it in this post. Well then these holidays + 1 day are all we have between present time and half-yearlies. Good luck studying to you all!

I will be leaving for Cairns very soon, almost blinded, as i have no idea what i'll be doing up there. So i'll be bringing up my eco book to compensate for the loss in study time i'll have. But it should be alright, i'll miss all of you that i talk to online and in real life though.

Well ill see how many posts it takes before i get over 5 followers then 10 and so on. Hahaha, i wonder whether i'll ever get that amount. We'll its alright, this blog does show my opinion to you all.

Hahaha, hope to myself, 'good luck and travel safe'.

Am i prepared?

My response: I never will be fully prepared. it's a fact of my schooling life, we all procrastinate, i'm procrastinating by posting this. I mean nearly everything is related to procrastination it almost seems like we can't achieve anything. And then i look at how we act around working class people. I now realise what idiots we are. I mean seriously, how often do you take the person that gets badmouthed or hammered for it. Its depressing i know, but sometimes we should just say thanks everytime we receieve a meal, grab the shopping, and depart a public service. Think about it, we only let the people who we assume earn 'real' money any respect. I feel like shit. No kidding, but i realise that im not earning any money atm. So how can i diss them? Gah, why am i thinking this? English. Reminds me, i need to get chem notes done by sunday. See ya guys and good luck accel eco!

awkward.

I will admit, pdhpe sport chosen was awesome, but man some moments are hilarious, whereas others. are well just awkward. but you guys dont need to know why certain things are awkward, although adrian and harjit running off to get easter eggs is something you should know about. trolls.

well otherwise the week has been rather uneventful, nothing too special, but nothing lacking either. except for the lack of prac reports to do ! YAY!

Just another post

What can i say? Its been a rather boring week, learning about stuff that i already have learnt from tutoring. School is starting to become redundant. Why did this have to happen? Probably because my english writing skills are poor. Or something like that.

As usual, its been quite the typical week. Sleep depriving, and uninteresting. My english creative got a 12, which is better then the 7's for the yearly >_>. Anyways i really cant think of anything else to say except that ive beaten the second and first region of the flying challenge.

Kanto: Dragonite, and Butterfly.

Johto: Dragonite, Butterfly, Murkrow, Mantine, Togetic and Fearow.

One day, Two prac reports

By now we are all starting to feel some sort of chaos. whether its within our physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual health. I mean today in physics chin said we should have had our prac reports done by the end of the lesson. well the thing is, i hate it when teachers expect you to know something. Its a pain because its always different to another teacher. well anyways the rant of the day. and probably of this week. Shazaaam!

My short story

Neil



His arm-hair rose in anticipation, as he clenched the container of gasoline. He always admired the way fires lit up the night, but tonight it was different, he was alone, and his heart was not in it. Feeling an unfamiliar nervousness, sweat dripped from his hands as he approached the overly ornate doors of the mansion. He put down the container just a few yards from the front of the house. With his towel covered brick he smashed a pane of glass in a lower window. Although the ‘clink’ could be heard no-one stirred. Yet he turned around expecting a response. Then he remembered the incident. He sighed deeply and took hold of the heavy gasoline container. ‘Let’s just get this done’, he said to himself at the prospect of earning an easy one hundred thousand dollars. He steadied himself and stepped in the politician’s empty mansion. The pungent odour of old houses hung in the air, a reminder of the prestige that this building used to have. But he ignored this as he carefully covered the house in gasoline, humming the tune his brother always sung.

He stopped in front of a bedroom door it could have belonged to any teenager. Like his brother say! The remains of basketball and baseball posters littered the floor and peeled from the walls as if mocking him. This could be Neil’s room. Not this room! He turned away as if in disgrace, not feeling mentally capable of entering the room. He trod carefully down the stairs, in order to reduce the risk of gasoline spilling on his clothes. He flicked his lighter twice, to appreciate the glow of a lone flame. It went out. He flicked once more and threw the metallic lighter onto the floor into a pile of old papers. In reaction, he slammed the door and ran in the opposite direction as fast as he could. Suddenly, large spotlights illuminated him and he swore under his breath. I’m sorry brother, I couldn’t do it without you, he thought to himself.

“Get down, on the ground now!” someone screamed at him, as his knees buckled. He felt weak. He knew he just become a lesser man. He was worthless.

The police lowered their weapons as the teenager overwhelmed by emotion began to sob. Quickly they rushed to subdue him, after checking for weapons on his body. They pushed him down hard on the ground. Interestingly he gave in easily. “Normally they give us fight, Sarge. What’s the story on this one? Any record?” Furthermore, the teenager continually mentioned the name ‘Neil’, what was this all about? The arson attack was carefully planned and scorched all the rooms of the home. Yet, there was another surprise, as one bedroom was barely by fire and that alone showed a lack of professionalism. Something was wrong, very wrong.

Neil’s brother shivered against the upholstery of the police vehicle. Quickly he searched for an escape, but the only memory that would appear was of that ‘incident’. However the uncomfortable worn leather burned into the base of his hands preventing even the least reprieve. He continued to ponder to ease the pain, but the constant radio chatter edged him closer to insanity. Eventually he had reached the end of the threads of sanity, and yelled to turn on the radio. The officers provided no response which only caused the pain to heighten once more. He felt inferior to the officers who were simply just a few metres in front of him separated by a cold metal mesh. Menacingly, it held firm and secured him away, in a moving prison.

When the police car halted quickly to a stop, Neil’s brother flew forwards immobilised and exhausted from the mental and emotional torture. Quickly fresh air rushed into the vehicle, providing that peace of mind. But the moment was short, too short, and he was shoved out of the vehicle with a sense of urgency. He saw the blue letters ‘Police Station’ and tried to seize the last opportunity of freedom, the fresh air.

The wait in the lobby to continue the procedures was the only opportunity that he had finally felt a release. But this was short-lived, as he soon heard the clacking of hands tapping away on keyboards and the wall clock ticking away. The wait was bearable this time, as the interview seemed to pass by instantaneously. The realisation of finally being behind bars was approaching, but it didn’t faze him at all. He felt something worse, the feeling of loneliness, the feeling that he knew he would never get to feel the presence of his brother, not being able to attend his funeral, not being able to visit his grave, never seeing his face again. He screamed in agony. ‘NEIL!’

Yay! my short stories complete. and its about an arsonist. TOtally fits the fire theme!

Well anyways time to provide some stats:
in the MONO FIRE TYPE CHALLENGE (ULTIMATE?)
Emerald:
lvl 80 blaziken. with help from a lvl 41 torkoal and a level 50 ninetales

i'll have gold and blue's up later.

Undecised?

Ever felt like you cant decide? I get that a lot. I mean the choice of following a large group vs a small group vs soloing is hard to choose between. *context needed*
but still. Its so odd. you probably wouldnt understand nyways.

Embarking on a new quest

I decided yesterday to go ahead with a fire pokemon only challenge. tough but i like it. i hope i can enjoy it as long as my schooling week. btw its been okay

its hot.

bad template, bad weather, bad timetable. oh well year 11 should be fun then. :P
