HIGH SCHOOL STEROTYPES

Studying in a private high school made me think up this popular stereotypes ranked from the highest popularity rating down to the very lowest.

1. JOCKS- "the heartthrobs" I don't know why but girls dig guys who hold balls for a hobby. They are those who gain most respect. They rely on others for their academic work and because of their strength they control pretty much everything an everyone. They are exempted to the school's law and orders.
2. PERFORMERS - you can easily spot them because they are always moving on groups. You can see them singing in chorales, singing acappellas, dancing a ridiculous beat, exhibiting what their contour bodies can do and pretty much holding a guitar and just disturbing classes with their non-mainstream music.
   
3. COOL SMARTS - these are the intellectually adept persons but not that geeky. You can spot them promoting themselves and asking for council votes. They are really popular because of what they achieved and the only thing that separates them from nerds is--they don't read COMIC BOOKS!!!
4. SASSIES - the socially conscious. They always move in groups with their co-sassies. They are either women who are naturally beautiful and using that as their asset or those who think their beautiful and just want the glamour. They are also either riiculously rich, or dumb broke.
5. ACTIVIST - students who just can't stand democracy. Always present in rallies, movements, etc.
6. EMO' - a.k.a. slashers, cutters and suicidals. But here in the Phil. another subspecie was created. The EMO-kuno. Those ho claims to be emo but doesn't qualify to be one.
   
7. NERDS- the socially deprived but intellectually gifted. They have th mind, they don't have the looks.\
8. UNKNOWNS- self explanatory

Now you know the stereotypes, which one are you?

These are just the basic stereotype many are still unmentioned.

Xander's Summer Fling

continuation to Xander's first fling

A few weeks before summer vacation my enthusiasm was still high. She was bragging to me her academic achievement for weeks now. She told me she is a constant gold medal awardee and she even skipped a year because of her excellence and at that point I was very proud of whatever she achieved.

She promised that she was going to spend her vacation at her cousin's house--the one who gave me her gift--since twas a walking distance from my school we promised each other that we will enjoy summer, together.

But I was, yet again, very,very disappointed. I thought twas gonna be the best summer with her but she said she will be spending her summer vacation in Manila. I ignored her for a while and after some time I realized it would be inhumane to treat her like that and our love did prevails.

We carried on with our young lives but we kept in touch with each other. There were several girls who flirted with me that time and I have several other textmates but I did not mind them at all. I have a gf whom I faithfully committed with and I can not let go of that.

Even though I forced my parents to enroll me to a summer workshop I did not enjoy a speck. From the start I focused myself on seeing her during summer vacation but now that it is impossible to realize I have no reasons to attend.

A summer filled with plans and hopes was turned into a summer of complete semi-singleness because of a broken vow. I was very lonely that summer and even though I had all the chances to cheat I just couldn't do it. I want to be faithful to her.

Is it right to be obsessed to girl you can't even touch?

Xander's First Fling

All my life I've been exposed to "flings". Who can blame me?
At the very first time I had a girlfriend, twas a long distance relationship. I thought she was serious about me and hence I was very faithful to our serious relationship.
For our monthsary, I gave her a beautiful bracelet costing a ridiculous amount of money especially for our young age. In return she--well actually her cousin gave it to me because she was busy-- me a pen with a penlight and a laser pointer.

Eventually she asked if I liked her humble gift. I said I loved it and because of this she wanted me to use it every time I write drafts on my blog. I was very disappointed. I know I have to consider her thoughts and efforts but hello I sacrificed to buy that bracelet. It costs a lot. I skipped meals to save a sufficient money to buy her something special and I got a pen in return.

I know you would react that I am selfish and materialistic or so, well consider my side of the story. I don't really care about tags. I care about the thought, the effort, and most especially the sentimentality of the gift. I gave her a bracelet because I want her to see how beautiful she was to me. I want her to be confident and beautiful and even though we are cities apart, I will be able to always be with her in the medium of a bracelet. I even gave her the most beautiful poem a HS can give to his girl.

Well love erases the fear of debt they say and I never told her what her gift made me feel. I don't want her to feel that I am materialistic even though she is richer than me. I made her agree that the next time we exchange gifts it would be because we survived a year together. We also agreed that during summer vacation we would see each other. I will be taking talent enhancement lessons and she said she will be staying at her cousin's house which is a door away from my school.

I'm so excited that I will be spending my summer with my girl. I said to myself, maybe it may turn out to be one of my best summer vacation.
