First of all, this post is mainly intended for non-greasers, but everyone is welcome to read and witness the "stupidity of human race", as the coolest fictional character dr. Bailey put it. I am writing this for a group of lame-ass friends of mine to read.

To recap the background, these amigos have spread really unpleasant words and been calling names behind my back, while in daily lives they act as nice, decent people and pretend nothing happens. Definition of jerks, anyone?

The story is, my team and I were working on a physics project, and our little invention (a digital tsunami detector using the simple concept of wheatstone bridge) surprisingly won nationals and we are now prepping for an international competition in Houston, Texas, this May. There hasn't been any problem before, but since then a few of my schoolmates have been questioning about my teammate, T. They complained that T is not capable of running the project and that I picked her because she's a good friend of mine. They even went as far as accusing me of not deserving to organize a physics project.

I am mostly writing this to defend my friend Tiara, so I'm just gonna state 3 things about me, just in case it's not clear enough. One, this is MY project and it is MY idea, therefore it is MY invention. Two, if you people have forgotten, I attend this school by a Physics Olympiad Scholarship (or else how on earth can I afford it). Last, in this year's ELSA English Debate Competition, I won the title of National Best Speaker. In last year alone, I won three championships in three different English speech contests, so I think I am capable of doing a project presentation in English, maybe not perfect, but comprehensible enough. I know this sounds so cocky but you people really need to have it shoved down your whatevers. Nuff said.

About T, now. Your main concerns are:
1. She is not an olympiad student like me or some of you. She's a "regular" student in this high-class international school who pays monthly fees bigger than my retired grandfolks make a year.
2. Therefore how on earth can she handle a physics project when she still needs math tutorings from you people?
3. T is my best friend so you believe there's nepotism goin on.

Before I move on, let's define nepotism. According to Wikipedia, Nepotism is the showing of favoritism toward relatives, based upon that relationship, rather than on an objective evaluation of ability or suitability. For instance, offering employment to a relative, despite the fact that there are others who are better qualified and willing to perform the job, would be considered nepotism. The word nepotism is from the Latin word 'nepos', meaning "nephew" or "grandchild". (Well, not that T is my grandchild or anything).

I concede I show favoritism toward my best friend. But it is nothing based on the fact that she is my best friend. T is perfectly qualified for the position. If you're willing to read here are the facts:

1. In case you suffer amnesia, T is the all-time best student in class. Her total average class score is higher than any of us, meaning not all rich people are Paris Hilton.
2. My project is about digital tsunami detector. Digital, people, DIGITAL!!!
3. Well, I figure screaming DIGITAL a hundred times wouldn’t do, so let me cast your minds back to a few months ago. Remember Infomatrix Computer Project Competition in Romania? Remember who won the Software Designing? Yeah. And in my little digital project, who do you think will handle the computerized projections of the data?
4. Oh, and that little kid who won the English Speech Challenge of Bandung? Know any?
5. And don’t forget the girl who won the National English News Anchoring Competition!
6. In addition, I will put up some of her coolest designs as soon as I figure out how to upload a 20 MB .psd image to this post. (Help, anyone?)

I hope you amigos are able to digest all this, you know, since it’s written in English and everything? Might as well keep a dictionary nearby. Seriously, I don’t mean to be harsh or anything. I’m not a rude person, but honestly I think you guys are just jealous. So, T’s position as my teammate you want? Then be a T! I don’t want a Mathematic Olympiad-background, people. Not if it means you can’t do a presentation in English. Not if it means you can’t handle software. Bottom line, I DON’T WANT YOU IN MY TEAM IF YOU THINK BORLAND-DELPHI IS SOME KIND OF VANILLA-FILLED CHOCOLATE BAR! So quit the crap and quit it now!

I rest my case.

PS. I’m anything but a jerk. But sometimes to play hardball with one you need to do it in a jerky way. You have my say now, posted in my blog and having the world see it. I hope we can still act as nice, decent friends, no?
