i've been wanting to post about lots of issues, but i never seem to have this discipline of sitting down for a while to talk about my thoughts.so thus far, you don't get to read many posts. i'll try to remember the next time. but don't count on it. so here's my thought for the day:

1. dressing appropriately in school and why do the teachers nag so much? well. first i would like to say that one of the reasons that i don't really like my juniors is because they are seriously having this attitude problem. i don't blame them though. just blame peer/social/western influence. and that we are of a different generation. this is what i concluded: its generation thing with the uniform. i look at the year before me seniors, their uniforms are actually more tucked in than our batch, and our batch is more tucked in than this year's juniors. as time goes by, the age at which we start bowing to social /peer/ western influence is getting younger. we want to be 'cool' by learning from our seniors (how cliche: seniors should always set a good example / be a role models for your juniors !) just to be popular, among our own peers. be the one to 'start the trend'. people will start following you, and it'll feel good (for the desperate attention seekers). back to my point. that's why our shirts are all coming untucked.earlier.

but there's a line between appropriately dressed and just plain untidy poser wanna-be(in my terms). appropriateness such that you are presentable , and can actually face people outside , giving a first impression that you aren't an asshole. shirt tucked in, but tucked in meaning i don't see the ends. i mean, different people are comfortable with varying lengths of their shirt. not everyone can stand tucking in their shirts all the way. when the end sticks out, it just looks horrible. for the bottoms, so long as it isn't slipping off the butt/boxers/underwear/thong/g-string, showing butt-cracks and whatnot that people don't desire to see even if you have a hot ass. skirts. just make sure you don't look like a whore/slut/hooker.

as for the teacher nagging part. im going back to refer to the point of generation. they are much older than us, more conservative. they think of they're own school days of the meanest discipline masters they could ever have, and obey all rules.and they don't exactly care about the school's fashion statement.just tuck it in. EVEN if it looks neat tucked in. i mean. for tucked out shirts, we could have ran about, jumped up and down, waved our hands in the air, and didn't notice our shirts coming untucked. and then the teacher walks pasts so coincidentally and starts the nagging. but students, at least TRY to 'tuck in' such that it doesn't come out and waste teacher's salivas and protect our ears.teachers, so long as it looks neat. leave it be.

i would like to applaude the nerds though. although i shouldn't be stereotyping them. but they're the group of people who don't conform to the trends, and actually dress in their own way. in other words, brave enough to dress differently and ignore all the idiots. and we, the ever must-look-the -same-dolls syndrome, condone such individuality as a bad thing.shame on us. although i don't think it'll ever change. it's just human nature.

2. shutting ips out of a' div tournaments, competitions and syfs. in my opinion, that's just trying to tell us 'don't get a cca. you won't be able to do anything like win medals or the claim to fame. just mug.if you do join the cca.waste your time training/practicing. there's nothing to practice for anyway.' so what. even if it was our choice to go to ip, didn't we come to experience MORE? why would it be unfair for the other JCs not having ip? if the ips are actually younger, wouldnt' they be less experienced as the jc students when competing? as foe the concern of ips having more experience when they reach JC level to compete, the JC students just have to work harder to claim medals from students of the same age as them.


feel free to retort. im outta juice.
