From The Heart, We Stand As One


I am here to speak, not as a fade fan but a leader of the Philippine Street Team.

All of us in the International ST are indeed happy. We are happy that the guys are aiming it higher to the skies, to see their success and everything. Seeing the guys' happy faces after every hard work they have done to bring music to their fans. But after signing with Universal International, what if they will grow farther from us? Yes, we are also happy about that, but what if things will never stay the same as it used to be before? I heard a lot of questions about that, but keep the faith, yeah? Sky's the limit guys.

(Don't mind me here. I know it makes no sense but I just feel like posting this.)

会長 Problems (Blog post may contain table flipping, more rage and explicit words.)

*breathes in* *closes eyes* *breathe out* *changes QWERTY keyboard to 12-key*

RAGE MODE: ACTIVATED.

Okay, let's begin. As Hamano-nee wanted to know, and to those who might want to help, I'm currently pissed. Not because of this article writing thing or whatever, it has something to do with a youth ministry officer at church. All thanks to my mom, she made me realize one thing. I am stupid. Yeah, Hamano-nee. I'm not mad at my mom. I'm actually thanking her. My after-passing-the-exam mood is ruined.

The story goes like this: 3 weeks ago, that was friday, those who are absent in our name lottery for our Christmas party (for gifts) the past week will have their own name lottery so it wouldn't be unfair.

December 28th, Christmas party. I was the only one who doesn't have a present. Everyone has presents, including the guy whose name I got in the name lottery. Most of the people was surprised, for everyone has a present. There's no extra present. Only I was the one who does't have one. They suspected that the guy who got my name came back to the Philippines was the one who got my name, but why's his name there saying he got his gift from the party and he got a different name, not mine. 会長 reacted to that matter and told me whoever got my name will give me my present. Mom found out that I got no present so that Sunday of that same week, she talked to 会長 about me not having a gift. According to mom, 会長 pouted on her.

And earlier (because I was absent last week's youth service because I was exhausted from my Gumi Megpoid shoot with Rani-chan in Cairoli) after youth service and eating fellowship (that's how they call it), I went back to the worship hall to get my coat and my backpack, 会長 called me to the kitchen, so I followed. She took out a notebook, handed it to me and said, "-insert name here- gave this for you. It's your gift.". A planner. A 2013 planner. Of all, why a planner? I thought but I simply replied thanks in Italian. My first thought was, I have a lot of notebooks and a planner I bought way back from the Philippines. And another thought, does this even cost €5?

When I got home, after eating dinner and my usual evening routine (usually hygene...) I sat on the bed and started drawing (I uploaded a photo of it on my twitter) then mom came in the room. The thought came in to me to show her what 会長 gave me earlier at the church's kitchen so I called her attention.

Me: Ma,
Mom: Yeah?
Me: *pulls out planner* look what 会長 gave me. She said it's from :insert name here:
Mom: WHAT?! DID YOU KNOW THAT THOSE KINDS OF PLANNERS WERE ONLY BEING DISPOSED AT PAOLA'S?! *dad enters the room* Pa! Look at what 会長 gave to your child! What a disgrace!

I went silent and looked at the planner. Mom was right. Even the planners disposed from mom's boss' home are better than that one. And the only problem, I already made a mark in the planner. Yeah. Already wrote on it, but only my number on the first page. I even heard a story that 会長 opened my present and said what's inside of that present is meant for males (and probably gave it to her boyfriend? I think so) and that planner was an excuse. My dad even told me to take a photo of the planner and post it to my facebook with the description "First disgusting present I ever got." (Oh well, I got something worse than that so, nope. Not doing that.) I don't know if it's the truth, but it pissed me off. Big time.

*sighs* I guess that's all. I might not be able to show my face anymore to the youth ministry after mom or/and dad will confront her this Sunday after primetime service.
