Alright, so I may have been a bit too cynical of the world. I shall have to review my opinion after the incident that happened just minutes before.
So I just left class at 9 something close to 10 to the library. Reached the library and set to chucking my stuff at the bag shelf and entered the library at a very sedate and half asleep state. Then rummaged in my pocket sleepily and to my absolute horror, I realise that....oh shit, I left my cell in class.
Now, I wouldn't know about how other people in other countries might do if they find an abandoned cell phone, but generally, humans are pretty greedy; they'd just take and run off with it. So I bloody got my ass up and flew back to the lecture hall.
Saw a bunch of my coursemates whom I don't even know the names of still there in the class. So I frantically asked them if they saw or noticed. Nope, naturally no one would, but they ended up trying to help by looking around and calling and messaging my phone for me, despite me being a total headless chicken moaning my fate right there and then. After a long time of calling and no one picking up, finally whoever who took my phone called back.
Oh boy, I don't know how relieved and grateful I am right at this moment. It feels so damn...I don't know, the world ain't so bleak after all. There's people helping me at difficult points in my life, and now there are honest people too. Seriously, what more can you ask? I just hope that whoever had helped me today, whether by holding on to my phone and returning it to me, or helping me retrieve it, would receive the same treatment if they were ever to encounter any difficulties in their lives too.
Signing off,
a very grateful and relieved Rei-chan

Another weird contemplation thing
Ok, so this is a weird talking-to-myself kinda post. So in these few days I got myself into a one sided argument. Well, one sided because I chose to keep my mouth shut. But I still ended up pretty pissed.
In point of fact, I shall give an example. Say friend A proposes a plan of sorts on a certain day. Nothing was confirmed but on the day itself, you hear from friend B that the plan is on. But since no one had confirmed with you in the first place, and something else had came up that day, you decided to turn it down with the reason that no one confirmed with you that the plan is on.
Surprises of all surprises, you got shot to death by B, saying that 'you are always like that, if no one confirmed with you then you don't ask' and 'you're always so last minute'. Won't you get pretty pissed?
As a matter of fact, I did get so damn pissed. But I clamped my mouth shut physically and stfu. Of course, inside was a different matter. My brain was exuding thoughts of 'that's utter bullshit'. And it is! Like what the fuck, pardon the language, but please use your brains for a minute here. I had already said that if it is confirmed then inform me. No one BOTHERED to do so. I had to hear it from another person instead of friend A. Why is it that I get the blame for other people's neglect on that matter? I refuse to even think that this is my fault. You want it on, inform and confirm. Otherwise, it is to be expected that the plan is OFF. Don't bloody shoot me with BS.
As it is, yes, I'm a 'last minute' person. But never to my friends. To shoot me with untruths just anger me even more than the fact that said person spoke without considering that her words are hurtful. I'm sure, if the situation was reversed, she would be pretty hurt herself.
I do try to mince my words with as much delicacy as possible, especially when it comes to my friends. Therefore, I really do expect at least some consideration as well. It really disappoints me that the same consideration and care is not reciprocated even by the slightest bit.
That was point one. Secondly, I would really like to point out that when I say no, I mean NO. Not yes. NO = negative =/= yes. I'm not a kid that you can assume that my 'no' is a 'yes'. Nuff said.
Conclusionally, in this week, I realise my pet peeves.
1) I hate it when people talk without thinking or considering.
2) I hate it when people misread my direct answer. I'm a direct person...in most ways.
That said, don't take any of this seriously. This is totally up for discussion, and no insult is meant.
