the junkyard of utterly random thoughts of an ordinary 16 year old :]

Ms. DOUBTfire -____-"

I was busy going over && over the 8th paragraph of the essay, Man`s Search For Meaning, from our English IV book , moments after our class finished checking our quizzes in Math . We were tasked to memorize one paragraph from that essay && we would recite it in front of our class . My seatmate , Rendell Tagalog , was quite jittery && nervous because he was the prayer leader AND he would be the first one to recite his speech . [ haha XD ]

Through all the hurried memorizations && repetitive speeches of my classmates && I , none of us got to recite our speeches [ except for those who already had recited ] . Instead , our English teacher [ Mrs. Alaba ] , gave us a task that was similar to what us 4th year students passed to the Shield . We had to make a Haiku describing ourselves && make an article about our Highschool life :)

To be frank , I was quite confident in the thought of making Haikus . Besides , they are only 5-7-5 . When I had my ballpen && paper all ready , that`s the time I realized I couldn`t easily make one . A Haiku is too short for me to describe myself . Only a total of 17 syllables is allowed . && so , I took much of my time thinking of what to put in my Haiku . I was beginning to doubt myself at that time . Hmmm...

I also got "nonsensical" during that time . I mean I thought of stupid Haikus . I guess it was because of the fact that Marc Fortes && Jikko Fernandez were sitting behind me && kept on telling kornii jokes && making stupid Haikus too XD .

After much thinking , I finally made a Haiku ! I made two actually :

"The sunset is clear

I am pretending again

But my friends are here"

and

"I am here standing

With love as my anti-drug

&& smiles as my masks"


Awwwe . So much for doubting myself ;]

The only problem now is my article . Uh oh XD
