Why does school starts in June here in the Philippines?

I mean, I get it that they reserve the summer season of April and May for vacation but I just think that the month of June isn’t very conducive for studying. For the benefit of those who aren’t from the Philippines, June is considered as the month of bad weather. It is in this month we start to experience a lot of rainstorms and flood.

So imagine how difficult it is for the students to get on with their classes when the weather is all cold and wet. How do you expect us to stay up and concentrate with our lessons when the climate forces us to cozy up and stay indoors? Of course we cannot just stay out of school every time that it rains but when it’s this heavy, do you think it’s appropriate to send students to school? When it’s pouring and chilly and windy outside, our body’s natural instinct would be to just stay as warm as possible. It is also inevitable that we would feel all sleepy and lazy. I know it’s not an excuse for not studying well but it is true.

So yeah, I just think that it’s better for classes to resume in other months instead of June. I think it would make students more productive and it would lessen the hassle. And uhm yeah, because I still don’t want to go back to school on Tuesday.

Filipinos won’t turn into some demonic beings just because Lady Gaga will have a concert here in our country.

I am not a Lady Gaga fan but I am really getting sick and tired of what’s on the news regarding her upcoming concert here in the Philippines. According to what I heard from the news, 300 deeply-religious Catholic protesters demanded to ban the said event, claiming that the artist is blasphemous and immoral.

Well you know what? I think these people’s protests are ridiculous and pathetic. I mean, Philippine variety shows like ASAP, Party Pilipinas, Showtime and whatever else are publicly using her songs, either singing it or dancing to it. And as I clearly remember, no one ever did a protest or complain about these said TV shows. No one ever said anything bad about them because of using her songs. So why come out now? 

Plus, even if this country is a majority of Catholics, it doesn’t give them the right to force their belief to other citizens of the nation. And also, if they don’t like her, it’s actually very simple to just ignore the concert and not go. Lady Gaga is not forcing these religious people to watch the concert. For goodness sake, Lady Gaga is an artist and it’s not as if she’s asking people to convert into some kind of demonic cult or something. Her Filipino fans are going because of their own free will, and what is wrong with that? Do you ever see atheists and agnostics protesting like that whenever you sing out praise songs or when bands like Hillsong perform here in the country?

You see the problem this country has? We find it so difficult to let go of our differences that we reach a point in which we have to use force to coerce others into their beliefs. We say that it’s okay to be different, that it’s wrong to judge others, but is that what we really live up to? It’s really hypocritical how some people act.

Oh and then you’re wondering why I don’t believe in any religion? Huh. 

PBB Teen Edition 4 is freaking hilarious. One big fucking joke. Haha. Everyone in there has some serious issues. One is a 13 year-old girl who says she already had 4 boyfriends. One girl is acting like bossy bitch, already picking fight with another. I mean, they’re not even one week in. All the girls are so irritating, screaming and giggling their heads off. As for the boys, one is acting like every girl is in attracted to him. With all these, it’s no wonder that people look down at teenagers. They are just plain proof that the teenagers in this generation are hopeless. 

Yes, you’ll say I’m a pathetic person ranting about stuff when I could have just ignored it. That I don’t respect other people’s personality or whatever. That I should not look down on my fellow Filipinos. But what can I do? It’s very obvious how disappointing these teenager are. I laugh at how shallow and stupid they act. I know that I’m not perfect myself, but I can say that I am not simple-minded. And what, I should be proud that these people represent our generation? Sorry, but that’s very unlikely. 

As to why I watch the show even if it annoys be, I won’t try to give petty excuses. It’s simple: I am curious. I wanted to know what the big fuss was about and why it’s such a big hit. And so I watched the show. But I don’t think I will for the next weeks to come. If this is how it will go for the whole edition, why would I even bother with it?

While everyone is going out of town, spending their vacation at the beach or some place else, enjoying the summer heat, here I am, cooped up in my room for the whole day. And what do I do? I watch movies and TV series on my laptop, read piles of books and blog about staying indoor. That’s just pathetic,  and lame me. Sometimes I wonder why I still have friends. How could they possibly stand such a dull girl like me?

Cuddle weather. Find someone to hug tightly.

So, I got a pillow and:

Friend: I said SOMEONE not SOMETHING!

Me:
