X-Park Walk
Yesterday was X-country.
The only reason I'm bringing it up now, is because two interesting things happened during its course.
The first was all the cheater bugs who looped early and cut their distance by about half. So much for integrity. Maybe it's how you define it? Integrity is being honest when people are watching. Somehow, I beg to differ.
The second was all our long-sleeve-shirted teachers who stood and tried to movtivate us to run. Which was kind of impossible, because all the mass 'runners' had already made up their minds to be mass walkers.
Teacher: "Hurry and get moving! You're going to make the whole school wait for you!"
Eater: "But sir, we ARE the whole school." That was so impromptu, so innocently made that said teacher could be heard trying not to laugh after that.
Lol.
And yes, today is Valentine's Day. I now have 9 White Day obligations.
I came to school thinking Valentine's Day is so insincere, with people giving gifts just because of the day. But I came out of school realizing it's also a chance for usually unexpressive people to let you know how they feel about you. It's easy for some people to scream "I love you!" at a friend or even a crush, but not everyone, yours truly included, can do that. That's not to say V day is the best day of the year; I still think real love is expressed best in every single day. Just that it's a chance for people to give flowers and chocolates without being called siao or stupid, especially in an Asian context. I mean, if someone you don't feel anything for gives you something on V day, you wouldn't feel so grossed out if it had been another day, right?
So to Eater, Yokie, and Wang Huan, thanks for the flowers and sweet things. Especial thanks to Wang Huan, who made my day today with her lovely surprise.
It was also so cute to see my teachers' response to V day. It's clear a certain lit teacher related distantly to royalty has a poor impression of it, due to various reasons. One of which is money, the other of which is the inefficiency of lessons on this particular day.
Oh well. It's been an interesting day. I've never looked forward to anything on V day, which is why I always come away pleasantly surprised. I shall maintain this mindset, for V day, and try to be apply it to the other aspects of life.
That way, I can try to be more optimistic, just like you.
Happy V-day, my dear.
