Two of the people that I consider my really good friends kept playing tricks on me since the day before yesterday and I was getting pissed off but couldn't really get angry since they were acting just like usual, laughing and everything. I didn't go down for volleyball all day yesterday because I didn't feel like seeing them, and this morning one of them with another friend were standing in front of my classroom. I didn't know if anything happened and pulled my 'other' friend away to consult her about another problem, and in the midst of that she asked me about the day before yesterday and told me that my friend was reflecting on what they did.

She told me that something was going on between that friend and another really good friend of mine (probably my 'best' friend) but she didn't tell me what happened except for hints. I didn't think too much about it but then I saw the two friends who really 'liked' to play tricks on me (one of whom is involved with whatever is happening) during PE class (they were skipping) and sat down to chat with them. They didn't tell me what was going on either (and tricked me again to the point where it escalated to lying in my book), and I was really frustrated that my best friends were keeping me out while other people knew about the situation.

-It's really childish and frustrating when someone 'really seriously' talks to you about something, and you honestly make comments and opinions, but then they tell you that they were lying the next second!!!-

I guess I'm just someone who thinks too much. I frustrated over everything for the next class (sorry chemistry!) and was really low for the whole period. Then during break, a friend from the same class came over and told me that the friend who I consulted in the morning said: "You shouldn't keep asking XXX what happened. She's the type that wouldn't tell you if you keep bugging her and would tell you if you didn't. We're just outsiders to that."

I laid my face on my desk and started tearing up for some reason, and couldn't stop after that for the whole next period (which was Mandarin). I decided that I'm just really really really mad about my friends who kept on tricking me and ignored them for the rest of the day. I don't know if I'll be able to look at them tomorrow…

I kept making bookmarks recently. I've made so many it's unhealthy.

This one is the first one that I made for myself.

I also bought a really cute, metal pencil case.

A horde of cabs (this isn't even the busiest moment!) at Taipei Main Station.

We got our marks for the national exams on Wednesday. I was so nervous that my stomach hurt that morning! I didn't do well on my Sciences, which is really bad since the departments that I want to study in university is related to science, and I really want to get into National Taiwan University, which is the no.1 university in Taiwan. I'll be busy with applying for other departments but the risks of not getting in the first process, which is based on only the examination grades, is pretty high.

Also, mock exams for the entrance examinations in July was on Thursday. I did so incredibly bad that it's crazy! I didn't study at all, though, so I suppose that's pretty fair; not to mention probably 70% of the students didn't study for it and lots were as bad as I. However, I did get full marks for my multiple-choice questions for English. I haven't had full marks for big tests since I entered high school so I'm happy. There is still translating and writing left (which is pretty much next to impossible to get full marks for), but I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to get above 93% for English. To clue you in on how bad I did on the other subjects, a couple of them were around 20% since we get negative points for a wrong answer (some people get 0% because of that).

Fake glasses I bought (with only the rims) because they're so cute.

I'm still struggling to figure out how to integrate my databases. I'll be trying a couple of other methods, if they don't work out, I'll create a new skin for those pages.

Well, I just had an unhealthy date with my television for nearly five hours after midnight. I promised myself that I would post an entry before going to bed for the new years! So happy Chinese new years for everyone that celebrates it! Also, happy valentines day! I thought that it's really cool that the Chinese new years fell on the same date as Valentine's this year.

A lot of stores will be closed for new years in the upcoming couple of days so I won't be able to go shopping. Lots of my friends are out of Taipei to visit their relatives so it'll be lonely. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to get some studying done sometime soon.

I've discovered that it's beyond difficult to integrate a script with Wordpress – if it's even possible! So the extracted PNGs and layout databases will be in progress for a longer period. I will probably create separate pages (with a separate layout) for these unless someone finds me a solution.

Well, exams are over! But now I'm just around 95.9% sure that I'll be taking the ones in July since I didn't do very well. This means that it'll be another near half-year period of studying for me!

Actually, I have a confession to make. Just a few days before the exams, a couple of friends and I were making preparations to celebrate our good friend's birthday, which was two days ahead of the exam days. One friend went around taking photos of places where they'd been to and I'm in a lot of them

At the MRT Taipei Main Station in one photo. My arms! x-)

The few days after the exams have basically been filled with volleyball! It's been raining here lately but we played in the rain anyway. Time at night is spent on the site. I even worked on the site until after 5 am in the morning for a couple of days, but that's just because I spent my morning and afternoon sleeping on those days and didn't feel like sleeping at all. Cram school classes have started back up these couple of days so I'll be busy again.
