“...despite everything, i still believe people are good at heart,” wrote anne frank long time ago. i have always felt that she was right. call me stupid, call me naive, but i will hardly change, even after years of the world proving me wrong before my eyes. once, it seemed to me like whatever happens, i'd be the one who'd always stay good at heart...

so i got this friend who is one of the most irresponsible kids i've ever met. good kid, just one of those that would accidentally flush the diamond ring down the drain 15 mins before having to be your best man... he's been having a bad streak recently, barely making some meetings and such, and it was a matter od time he'd miss one. so yesterday, he calls the office and asks for a back-up 15 mins before his section began. couple of kids blew him off in the worst possible way, without even wanting to talk to him... one of them literally looked at his phone and when he saw the caller ID just said "oh, i don't wanna talk to him, he probably needs a favor from me"... the other one just said "no can't do" and walked away... at the moment, i just said to myself "jeez, how typical... spoiled american kids..." something like this would never happen back home...

and then today, when he turned to me to cover last 30 mins of his section, i decided to disregard his IM and go home for a well deserved lunch after 3 hrs of classes... didn't even think twice... how typical american, right?... i actually felt bad about it... but that was only after i had the lunch... meh, i've been around here for too long :-\.

here's to being a better person at heart.
