School Year 2009-2010.

Well, wow. What can I say.

I don't even know how to describe this schoolyear. I mean, so many things have happened.

I didn't like my section. I only learned to gradually get used to everything, and I managed to bear most of them for the entire 10 months. I'm glad though, that there were people who made it a lot easier to be happy despite the 30+ people who made this year a lot...urgh.

So I guess, I'd just like to thank my MC friends. :) Possibly others, too.

Kirsten.
-Hey you. I don't even know where to begin to thank you for this schoolyear. :) I feel like our friendship got a lot better this year...and you have no idea how glad I am because of that. You were someone I could rant to, someone I could laugh with, someone I could be random with, someone to be gay with,someone who I was completely sure would listen to me, no matter what I had to say...and someone I could turn to when I felt like crying.

You managed to make me laugh during moments where I felt like I wanted to just hit a wall or break something, or when I felt like breaking down from missing a certain someone, from the anger and rage and irritation I felt at people in my section, or disappointment from the results of competitions.

Some people only know me as the "smart english-speaking girl." Some people think I'm indifferent to a lot of things. Some people even make this ridiculous assumption that I'm all quiet and meek and stuff. I'm glad you're actually one of the few people I can show my real self to. You know I'm not indifferent to things that happen around me. You know that I'm not the strong person I just really want to be. Just...God. :))

It's just...you're a really awesome friend. I don't know how to put it into correct words that would even begin to explain just how much. But I honestly don't know what I'd do without you.

Just promise me we'll still be this close next year. :) A friend like you only comes once in a lifetime. :)

Julian.
-Because of you, I was able to find a home-y secondary classroom of sorts. Practically every recess and lunch of this schoolyear, I spent it in 2-3. I guess I'm just glad for it, because I was able to stay in a room and actually feel...at home. I felt like I belonged. Thank you, for all the random conversations. Whether they were really random and about something so stupid. =)) (I don't even need to post examples here, I'm sure you can think of at least one), or whether they were about things as deep as religion, life, dreams, or whatever. Or whether they were about the things happening, in general. I know a lot of people know you as just the "girl who speaks in English, who likes music and unique, non-mainstream things" but we both know that you are so much more than that. :) I got to learn a lot more about you this year...and I'm happy because of that. I know I say this to practically all my friends, but hey. Every time I say it, I mean it. No matter how many times I say it, it doesn't make it any less true.

There's no one like you. :) And I guess, somehow, that's why I'm friends with you. Thank you for this school year. My second year was made memorable, despite my section. And you're one of the reasons for it.

Paige.
-You know, honestly. Your palanca made me smile. :) And...truthfully. You were right. About practically everything you wrote for the first part of the palanca. And I guess it's not entirely your fault as it is for me not telling you, or for me being selfish, I suppose. I guess that after looking back at everything. I may have overreacted.

But I'm glad that I got a chance to think about it again and realize that hey...things aren't as un-fix-able as I thought. :) I appreciate the fact that we can start over again.

Jopi.
-We've gone through a lot. And honestly? Sometimes I felt like I didn't know what to think about you anymore. Sometimes, I felt like you were changing too much. Sometimes, I felt like I just wanted to avoid you whenever you were with certain people, because I felt like you just weren't the person I was friends with during those times.

But I guess through everything, I've learned to understand you more. You're not being plastic. You never were. Sometimes, I feel like the only reason I may feel like what I mentioned earlier is because I might actually feel bad that I just can't seem to be as understanding as you are.

Anyway. You're a great person. And a great friend. As much as I may not have shown it, you have no idea how touched I was when you got angry at the people who were flipping through my notebook. Thanks for everything. We've been partners for 3 competitions this school-year. I've grown a lot and improved, and well. I'll see you for another 2 more years, at the very least. :) However, I really do hope we're classmates again next year. You're just fun to have a classmate.

See you in summer, partner.

Andrea.
-I guess what I really appreciate about our friendship is that we're friends inside and outside of debate. I mean, it's not like I'm friends with the others during training only, but we actually went on gimmicks that had a lot of other people outside of debate. Thank you for all the random moments we've had, especially during those random moments we just stay late in MC or something. I remember when the sun flickered. =)) And when you failed at hiding behind the bench. XD

Thank you for putting up with the really bitchy rants I go into. =)) And for being really easy to talk to about a lot of stuff. :)

I just want you to know, that whatever choice you decide to make about whether or not you're staying next year...I won't try to change it. :) I just hope you stick with it and don't regret it later on. Just promise me that if you do decide you want something else for the remaining years...that we'll still be friends.

Pat.
-Wow. I don't even think you need an explanation as to why you're here, you dummy. Thanks for all the laughs, the ranting sessions, the sabaw moments, and for letting me bully you. =))) I would make this longer, but I've written you so many goodbye letters and shit that I'll just end up repeating everything I've already said. =))

Just...thanks for being someone who could make my last 2 months with 2-7 absolutely fun. They were the happiest moments of the schoolyear with 2-7...and I'm going to miss having someone whose hair I can ruffle and mess up constantly.

Elina
-Hey there. :) I know you're not our Captain anymore. And it feels really weird to think about it. It's hard for me to believe you won't be at trainings anymore, and I'm just going to miss that unique randomness and child-like...ness(=))) you have that is distinctly Elina. =)) I hope you drop by during competitions. XD Thanks for all the random moments. :D

Marianne
-Thank you for the sabaw sense of humor you have. Sometimes, it really can make my day. =)) I know people think you may be a bitch, but honestly, I think they just misunderstand you sometimes. I dunno. It's just...you're just honest about things. And I don't think I've ever seen you get mad for a reason that really doesn't make any sense. Last year, you were just someone I was pretty much afraid of. I'm glad that this year, I got to know you as more than that. :) Thanks for making training this year fun. XD

Alyssa.
-I just want to thank you, for...always believing in me, even when I didn't believe in myself. It's just...after tournaments where I just felt so frustrated and disappointed...you were there to cheer me up and prove that it might not be as bad as I always seem to think it is. You help me to keep at it and not give up. I just want to thank you for that. :) I'd also like to thank you for the random moments during the idle times in training where we just talk about practically anything. XD

Tracy.
-Tracy Wacy! =)) I just want to thank you for first off, being one of my partners in ASDC(TrAzAn! XD). That was really fun. I don't think I can ever forget the first round where we wasted 15 minutes of prep time running, and how I had to force out a voice for 7 whole rounds. XD That was a really unforgettable tournament, despite all the flaws and stuff. I learned a lot from you during that tournament too. Haha. Anyway. Thank you for all the sabaw moments this year. Like "Rendezvous" and...always calling me "Azi Wazi." =)))) There are more, but I can't really remember some right now.

Nicolle.
-I'd like to thank you for all the sabaw moments that make us all laugh. XD They really do make my day, and they're something to look forward to during training. =)) You were also one of the people who helped me believe in myself more. Haha.I honestly don't know what to say right now, but I hope you know that you made a difference to this schoolyear. XD

Lianne.
-Bukaaas. Bukaaas. Mahal kita, bukaaas. Sinong may Size 3? \:D/

Oh my God, what would POES and POEM have been without you. ):

I just want to thank you for EVERYTHING. For all the moments you just keep laughing and I have no idea why, and I just end up laughing too. For the moments we made the most random jokes or laughed at the weirdest things. =)) And for always giving me the questions to the homework and letting me borrow your book. =)))))

And for being someone I could talk to about...stuff. Like things that were bothering me that I forced at the back of my mind. Or meh. And for letting me know about some stuff that you don't tell other people. :) I know we may not be that close. But you have no idea how much I value you as a friend. :D

Gillian
-Oh my God, just...thank you for being someone to rant to about...HER. You know who I'm talking about. =)) And during the NAT. Frontmate. Heehee. \:D/ You're very fun to be with, and your hater on formspring is funny. =)) Thanks for this year, Gillian~ *hugs*

Faith.
-I guess that through all those random "training" sessions when it was only you and me who were left behind, I managed to get a lot of time to spend with you. You're someone I could talk to about what I think about a lot of things. What I think of people, events, and blah. You're very easy to talk to. Thanks. :)

Darla.
-Haha. You're one person who can simply be described with "8D"

=)) Anyway. Thank you for all the moments you just make everyone laugh. =)) Sometimes, they can actually cheer me up. =))

Thank you for the perkiness and happiness you have. It's very contagious. XD You added color to this school year. 8D =))

Patrice
-Hello Germaphobe. =)) Thank you for all the laughs and the...fail moments. Your epic fail award. 8D And all the times you just sang random songs or Backstreet Boys songs. =))

Dom.
Thanks for being someone I could hang out with during the mornings. :D They were fun. XD And they helped me NOT dread coming to school so early a bit. :D

Vivi.
-...I never expected you'd help make the schoolyear more fun and memorable. I mean. For 3/4 of the year I thought you were actually contributing to making it worse. I guess it was my fault for being too quick to judge, but meh. I guess I just want to thank you for being an awesome backmate, because 4th quarter was the only quarter I was actually able to talk during class because I finally had someone to talk to. =)) I hope we're classmates again next year. :D Thank you for being someone who made all those strange noises, for being someone I could rant to about MC, about the people in MC, about the English in MC, about the Evil Sprite, and other stuff. And thanks for the conversations we had that actually talked about *gasp* substantial things. =))) I'm going to miss all the sing-song moments you have and different voices and sounds you can make because you're not my backmate anymore. ):

Anna.
-I LOST THE GAME.

Anyway. Thank you for the mornings where we could just talk about everything and nothing, all at the same time. Somehow, we just slowly became friends and soon enough, I just talked to you every morning, in between classes, and after recess before class started again. I loved how our conversations could go from the ultimate sabaw and retarded, to things so complex like the mysteries of life. =))

Just...thanks for being one of the extremely few people in class that I was actually able to establish a legit friendship with. =)) I'm going to miss talking about things as retarded as Potato Gods and the Japanese guys who look like such pretty girls if we're not classmates next year. :D
///////////////////////////////////
Thank you to all you people. And just because you're not on this list, doesn't mean I don't care about you, mind. I just might not have a specific and unique message for you, and I feel like it's not sincere enough if I make a message for this random blob of people. And I decided to limit it to MC people, for some reason.

Or maybe it's because I'm becoming too lazy. Oh well~

I love my friends. I really do. :3
