I'm Unstoppable
Realized that I didn't get to blog about Friday, plus tag replies, but I'll probably do the latter tomorrow cos it's almost 10 and I need to go to bed soon.
You know how at the beginning of a school trip you're always like, why can't we have normal school and why do we have to spend all day in the sun in a foreign environment, we'll all get dirty anyway? You're not like that? Oh well, I am, and that's what counts. So I was like that on Friday morning. Face it: it's an Alternate Dress Day sans PE, plus I have to catch up on 10-3 now 'cos I missed the lesson. The only pro's that I missed Socratic Seminar in humanities :D
Anyway, turned up at school in crumpled PE uni (no time to iron) and my bulgey vietnam packpack, which looks so, well, whatever, anyway, and then went to Huttner's to hand up 10-2 with mita. Then we slacked around in 312 and finally went onto the bus. Then we waited at the pier for a while before the BARGE arrived!
Didn't take much time for (1) me to realize how awesome the barge really was and boy did I want to get kidnapped for too high a ransom for my parents to pay, and (2) xxxx to fall in love with the guy on the barge. Well, there were two, but one looked just like Hugh Dancy when he laughed, which he did a lot, so how can you resist a guy like that? Okay, whatever. Maybe Hugh Dancy isn't hot to you. (He isn't to Helen, because she says he looks like Mr Poling, but she likes Taylor Lautner, even with his long hair. Go figure.)
Then there was this totally cool deck thing where you climb up a ladder onto this, well, DECK, and marki, yesle and I went there for a while when only our group was there after the tour-of-ko-kret thing. (Ko Kret's an island, by the way. A "manmade" island which is totally fabulous and has really cute pottery!) And then marki's like, THIS IS LIKE TITANIC! and he goes to the front and kind of spreads his arms out a la DiCaprio, and I'm like, yeah, you're the one that dies, remember? YESLE, PUSH HIM OVERBOARD! and marki's like, no don't push me overboard! and anyway. then mita's group came and we were fooling around.
during break brianna, yesle, risako, mita and I played hangman and the one-word story, where, much to her delight, the two guys from the barge joined us at (guess who?) my behest (mita didn't have the guts to ask hottieboy to join us). then later during lunch brianna spilled the beans: she found out sunflower (aka hottieboy) was 27 years old! mita was totally unfazed, but it gave us more incentive to persuade her not to like him anymore. anyway, we came to the conclusion that he liked this other girl on the barge. too bad. [why are all the hugh dancys of the world
taken? pfft.]
ko kret was totally amazing, bought cute little pressies for sway sim, brother and mum (well, actually, for me, but I feel bad about getting messed up about who the presents were for... my mum
did say she didn't want it, but... oh whatever) for 50B total! (yes, yes, quote unquote mum,
the shopaholic strikes again! that should be the last title for the series LOL). and we walked around a lot. and saw a lot of stuff. and learned about sustainability, and culture, and economy, and environment and stuff. global studies, after all. it's kind of sad how slowly everyone around the world is kind of imbalancing culture and economy; instead of an interdependent balance, it's now kind of tilted because people are prioritizing economy over culture. that was one of the major issues we decided on. for our economy group, it was political and economy crisises. I won't bore you with the details, and anyway, you can figure it out yourself, right?
ooh, deliciously long post :D and it's 9.53. pfftuit. already planned my outfit for church tomorrow! gorgeousy white skirt got at chatuchak for 159B; beaded suede belt from sway-sim; blue tank top from Ten & Co.; orange long cardi from MBK; tan headband from Emporium; gold hoops from... fromm... Robinsons! and gold sandals from chatuuuchaky for 120B.
haha, I sound like becky bloomwood already.
I'll come running,
