i've just finished reding another one of S.E Hinton's bk, 'That was then, This is Now'. It's a really gd story i guessed it took place right after 'The Outsiders' after the greasers won the fight & the Socs left the greasers alone. Not much of gang rivalry in this bk but abt how a guy named Bryon felt abt growing up. His feelings starts to change, he no longer thinks wat he did in the past like acting cool or goofing ard was matured. He starts to care & treasure wat he has. u noe wat? i somehow like dat. like i didn't noe hu i am now. i'm just growing up & getting everything all mixed up. in the past the thunder really scared me, the tv programmes were my life & i couldn't care less abt homework & money. but all's different. my piorities shifted. i don't if dats gd news. it means i aint a kid no more & i've responsibilites to bear & commitments too.

back to the story. Bryon & Mark were like bros but they aren't real bros. Mark was picked up by Bryon's mum coz she feels for small living things. she can even cry for a dog which was hurt. Both of them had been real close until sixteen. when Bryon starts to change. Mark couldn't care less abt laws. Bryon fell in love with Cathy. & Cathy & Mark dislike each other. In the end, Bryon was the one who called the police & they arrested Mark for selling drugs. Friendship ended. Bryon loved Cathy no more. It just wired dat u can love sumone so much one minute & cant seem to bother abt him or her the other.

tok abt friendships. i guess even the strongest one cant withstand storms. i dunno.of all the experiences i've had, i've concluded one thing- don't be dependent on ur fren. it aint anything personal. it's just hearing others experiences & watching shows & reading bks & of coz my own experiences. but with friends u can goof ard & hv fun but how many actually confide in friends when they are really down? i think 2 factors are invlolved. one is the bond of the friendship, two is ur own personality. dats y i really love the ad for citigems. it's so heart-warming. friends to be by ur side when u nid them & understand u without u saying it. i noe i can't expect ppl to do this this this for me coz i dun noe how to be a gd friend myself. kl gave us stuff to write abt how to become a gd friend. But it' easier said than done but no harm trying.

everyone's toking abt the lib pal mentor's really pretty.... i didn't get to see her ytd.
