My eyes are red and puffy. I just cried over a video - a recent Janet Jackson interview. I know, who cries over interviews? But trust me, if you're a true fan of Michael Jackson, you won't be able to help being emotional over his death (for the umpteenth time). Watch it here:

Full Show: Janet Jackson In the Spotlight

For some time now, I've avoided material related to his death, because...well, because I didn't want to think about it. I wanted to just embrace the fandom and take delight in his music, everything he gave the world. Hearing Janet say Mike was her closest sibling and that they had a ton of laughs just brings me back to reality.

He's dead. Every sentence said about him now uses verbs in the past tense. And I have to get over that. I will get over it, eventually. Time heals all wounds, as the saying goes.

Now about my day, it was...interesting. Very. Ever studied in a school with strict rules yet wild students? Uhuh. In our school, nobody really cares about "regulations". Crackheads fight, smart-asses swear loudly, and nearly everyone brings cellphones and cameras (which aren't allowed). Make no mistake, people in our school have a lot of pride and know when to limit themselves. ;]

But vandalism? Everyone does that. C'mon. What's so bad about drawing a smiley face on your desk? :> But sometimes things get...uncivilized. Our Science teacher discovered a curious table: written all over it was Eileen's name, and whoever vandalized must hold a huge grudge against her, because he/she wrote that Eileen was a prostitute. Many times.

We saw the scribbles months ago but never reported them. Eileen didn't care. But this afternoon, we were threatened by a teacher - one of those who have more power - and told us to check our handbooks. Turns out, vandalism is a major offense.

On the first warning, the student will either be suspended, given a failing conduct grade, or receive probation. OUCH :| We were all strung-up because no one would admit to the crime (we had our suspects, of course) and we'd all be punished. In the end, the teacher gave us a chance and agreed to let us fix the problem ourselves. On Monday, we'll be bringing sandpaper and cleaning materials to scrub off every drop of ink.

I expect fresh, new writing on the tables the week after next.

So, Friday the 13th, eh?

I'm not superstitious, so it means nothing to me. But the coincidences that circulate around the number 13 (which makes a lot of people even more nervous, LOL) are interesting.

Cool, right? :o The...number thing, I mean...not the explosion. :| Read more about Friday the 13th: http://j.mp/4sXfyb ;)

I love prowling the web for stuff to talk about, so here's another thing: Lady Gaga's music video for Bad Romance. I don't fucking care about the hermaphrodite business, I just like her music. XD

I actually think she looks pretty a lot of times in that vid. I like it when her make-up is toned down. Plus, the ending is creepy! 8D

On another note, today Alyssa and I went to her place after lunch. There was a PTC meeting at school so we were dismissed after the morning classes. \o/ Alyssa taught me piano basics 'cause I aspire to be a fairly good pianist someday @w@ We took videos of my "first piano lesson" but I dunno if she'll upload them. =))

Then we watched a DVD her dad bought. Biographies of celebrities! XDXD There were 3 videos about MJ. :) We didn't finish them, though the second one made me sad. =( It was about the time when he went through the child molestation cases. There was an auction held with loads of MJ & Jackson 5 stuff, but nearly no one bought anything if it wasn't $200 or something. D:< And then there were reporters who lived to bring him down. Oh, and that time when he was booed offstage before he could sing a note.

Makes you wanna go back in time & hit those people. 8-| Hmph. Anywho, we had fun with green hairspray. :> I might post a pic.

I hope things get better soon. I like my life at the moment. But I can't help it if it fails sometimes. :))

Today we brought hearts to school. Literally. o.o

The class was split into 4 groups; each had to bring a heart for Science class. One group brought a fish's heart, the other a pig's heart, and another a chicken's heart. We brought a goat's heart - it was extremely difficult to find. Eileen went all the way to Molino to buy one. She had to wait because the goat was still alive...the vendor had to kill it first and get the heart. >_<

Sorry if it looks gross to you. I was fine with handling the bloody heart during Science but it made me sick to think of the poor goat. :( I have a much-too-soft spot for animals... The goat's heart smelled really bad, though. :| Eileen could barely get it out of the plastic bag. But soon, it was like I became immune to the odor. @__@

Anyway, we dissected the four hearts and drew what we saw on paper. Next time we'll be dissecting frogs then preserving dead animals. ._.
