I am RETIRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, i am spending my last days as an office holder in Student Council. My first experience with Student Council dated back to 2 years ago, being the V.P. for the College Student Council in my university. It was, sadly appointed, not elected and i am merely chosen to ensure a nice color mix. Wrong choice i think they made.

From there i gained immense authority and influence but squandered most of it due to my indifference. But when we are under attack, from the college admin no less, i think i did the right thing to initiate a fightback, which is dirty and messy, though we may be on the lesser side, no one party really lost. Which is why i say they chose the wrong person. Another guy/girl might just keep quiet and be timid.

But then, just why do people keep thinking on a racial line? I am NOT there to HELP you yellow-skinned people alone. I am there to serve all residents of the college. Think i did the right thing to just do whatever i think is right. And those who refused to work with people of other color (refers to ALL who does so, not anyone in particular) should just live in an island since in this globalized world, every color, white, black, yellow, brown and especially greenback (that is US dollar) people existed.

But these islanders do exist in mainland (no offense to all who live in the island, just a way of expression with the meaning confined within this post) and all it takes is to have a group of islanders to shout "He Sucks" for someone else to make it an issue and attack you. But all should be taken in stride and pride. For perhaps maybe i do suck sometimes and suckers are to be scorned. Nevertheless, i hold myself clean if the issue centered on helping a segment of people. That is not me so go to hell. And those who have personal problems get on attacking me officially, i hold all your arguments invalid.

Appointed, meaning it is hard to maintain impartiality especially when you have to toe the official line. The appointment does not give your the voice to say "I am ELECTED" to whoever tried to turn you around their little finger. It takes more effort to get what you want but there can be no mistaking where you lean. And when you lean on another side, there goes your ass.

Which might be the reason why all of our asses got burned. But no shit, i think most of us are proud with our services and works and no, we do not take part in your stupid politics and i am enormously proud of it. But being noble just got you attacking us more viciously and dirtily but no we were and still are holding fast to student welfare.

It was through my abilities and popularity that i think got me an overwhelming win in my Faculty Student Council election (yes, elected). And some maneuvers which i intended to bring one change transformed into another when one vital leg gone ineffective and one insider gone awry. That is one horrible mistake i made which i hope will not have repercussion later on.

Nevertheless, this second brush with Student Council brought more successes than the first. We are able to do more for student welfare and advancement though this hard works are often unappreciated. Mind you, we don't get paid or anything so do be nice. There are more to take care of than the demand of a little group of people. If it can be fulfilled, it is already done. If it can't, nothing under our power to do can do it for you. If it is willful neglect or negligence, you may, by all means point it out. But if you are merely trying to find some issues, maybe you should get your brain checked. Don't you have more important things to do than to pick bones? I would rather blogging and reading and making money than picking unimportant bones.

till today, a day before i am due to retire, i am still working; scheduling meetings, trainings etc for another bunch of people. But outside people who knew, we just look very busy to them, for no apparent reason, or for some trivia reasons. Even those whom we helped knew only of that little of we do, and largely not knowing the rest of our works. Not that i really care but can't people be more appreciative of all the free labor that we are doing? No, not to say thank you but perhaps more understanding?

And tomorrow, a few hours before i retire, i still have another meeting to set to ensure things run. And i think, so do the rest of the people. But i do know some are trying very hard to make a ruckus in the AGM. How childish. If those are legitimate grouses, go ahead but experience told us that the AGM often used to pursue personal agenda and some actually having fun created havoc. I rather go home blogging if it is not compulsory for me to attend to present my report for approval.

Have i done well? Of course i can do better but mistakes do happens. Sorry if there is anything bothers you. But as of now, i am enjoying the feeling of going to retire.
