D-d-drama in 9ML?

Shanghai, China: A lot of "drama" is going on in 9ML, according to many people. Many "marriage/divorce requests" have been found on many 9ML DCS Blogs... According to ByRumors, many of those rumors are FALSE. 

Oh yea. And drama. lol.

ByRumors.. Is here.

Shanghai, China: ByProjects has announced that their latest creation, ByRumors has launched. It was originally a project that was to be abandoned, but then due to some attacks from an "unknown source" *Cough cough* *Justin* it was pushed live in retaliation against "da Ace".

It resembles most Byzone Projects-Byzone, ByProjects, DCS Bloggers, and FyreWhirl. Unfortunately it is not accepting author positions right now, although if you want, you can comment on it's post and apply. (People I know will be accepted. Just post your email addresses there and I'll add you in.)

Disease taking over the school?

So.

Have you all noticed the drama lately?

Especially in year 9 students?

Where everyone rushes around, trying to complete homework, study for tests, and keeps on top of their social lifes in a flurry of papers, pens, and eraser dust? (...Does white-out dust exist?)

I believe it's due to an illness that takes over teachers once they start teaching year 9 students. Once a teacher sees a year 9 student, DING! Y9 mode. In Y9 mode, teachers tend to give more homework (WAY more) and also activate a telepathic connection with other teachers who have also been activated. They, using that telepathic connection, set down a date when all homework must be due and all tests must be taken. Take the Friday before the October holiday. Two tests AND two major homeworks due on ONE DAY? It's not a coincidence. It's...

The Y9 disease.

Eventually. This affects the students Y9 and up. What are the symptoms? Well. Extreme stress, mental breakdowns, and sometimes even falling out with friends. Those are only the common ones.

Tomorrow, we will have more updates on this mysterious, but deadly disease.

Return to School

Shanghai, China: Students return to school today, and many face new problems-One forgot that it was Tuesday and went to the wrong class, then picked his or her books and started running. Luckily for him/her, that he/her went to class on time.

Another problem was that many new rumors (This is NOT a rumor blog. Want a rumor blog? Start it somewhere else. ByNews is USER SUBMITTED NEWS not rumor news.) had sprouted out and one rumor (Not saying anything about it) traveled around and this innocent person who was framed for the rumor got strangled...

And of course, Sodexho news. The meat today in the "Chef-a-station" was hard. Probably very bad quality, according to some people.

Oh yes. DCS Daily is still closed right now. LatiosBlue and Latios-Blue are both up, although LatiosBlue's previous posts disappeared, and as the author said: "It somehow popped in." and towards DCS Daily: "I was doing homework when I clicked the button by accident. It deleted."

ByNews news, and tweakups

ByNews has now... 5 authors and 1 to be joining soon... Fabi-I mean... Pingen, whatever online identity he wants to take.

The CAPTCHA word verification has been removed and the time has been set to GMT... Our time. CAPTCHA is Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. It is used in many sign-up procedures but in blogs such as ByNews, we think that it is not needed as we are not afraid of spammers... Well, just don't SPAM! ... We don't want to put CAPTCHA back up again. :| If we can.

Over reaction over server maintenance?

Blogger.Com, Internet: One Blogger blogger, over-reacted over the server maintenance that Blogger was going to do at 4:00 a few days ago...

Art's addict blog post is here: Blog.

Clarification: A server maintenance is when they install/remove/fix servers in the Google headquarters or wherever it is. Nothing to worry about.

About the story of how sodex ho got kicked out from yew-chung GUBEI

One sunny day 2005
"X" is ready to get a plate of spaghetti to eat for lunch. So. He ate, he swallowed and he breathed for air. But suddenly one thing came into his eyes whats that white thing doing there it certainly doesnt look like noodle and it doesnt look like tomato sauce...... AND IT'S MOVING......(Abbreviation for the description). X had no appetite and immediately went to find the manager. After a few days the report came out it was an cocroach egg. Fortunately for the students its summer break and the egg won't haunt their dreams.

The next year sodexho got kicked out
wonder where it went?

Spanish Test-The Aftermaths

Shanghai, China: There are the Spanish aftermath posts from people who were taking the test: LiteratureForever and FyreWhirl. No other posts have been spotted yet on Blogger.

On a side note, congrats to Anonn, whoever he is, for posting the previous post. Well done on the writing. It's just that it didn't contain ALL of the information I wanted, but that's ok.

We would also like to announce that LatiosBlue has started a new news site: DCS Daily.

DCSDaily states that because of "unexpected amounts" of pending requests that the creator, Latios, created it. ... I think he got inspiration from ByNews... Just my opinion. ... But as a critic (A person who looks at every detail/s and picks out the bad point for the owners to change), I think it's ok... Probably being too formal like me, but thats ok. :) Formal is good... Sometimes.

Is this insane?

Shanghai, China: Spanish students in the same school that had "Agh! A hair in my rice!"are either studying furiously right now or leaning back and waiting to fail.

For the beginning of the year test, they were plummeted with grammars and adjectives that they had NOT learnt, in many cases. Since last week, they had to learn around 120 new words and have a test on it on Friday (tommorow).

Complains in the classroom was heard and Mr. Escat just simply and mercilessly ignored it. When asked, about the fact that they did not know it by one of the students, he just said: "You should have learnt it last year." But the students didn't. When asked to borrow the Listos 1 (First book), he refused and said: "You should have learnt it last year." But what about the people who WANT to actually REVIEW with the book? Nope is the answer.

There has also been questions about why he brings up people to the board to solve questions that they do not understand when they fail to answer a question sucessfully. While Mr. Escat goes back to teaching the students on the subject, the person up there, who does NOT understand how to answer the question, looks hopelessly at the board and tries to think.

Students have been heard of planning NOT to study because of that and drop below, where they learn from the beginning. There are only two classes: One insanely high with Mr. Escat, and one insanely low where they start from the beginning.

There has also been seen that people smashing their books and other things and shouting their language teacher's name.

Where would some students choose? The lowest. Why? Because of the fact that the high class was INSANELY high.

... A hair in my pizza? Students seriously annoyed now.

Shanghai, China: Another hair incident has happened, and this time on a pizza. The student that was interviewed and had that was seriously annoyed, and another asked: "Is hair part of the ingredients?"

Pasta also started running out... That's an understatement. Pasta RAN out on Monday, and Tuesday, even though the person went there at 1:00 PM sharp. Looking at his face, you could tell that he was really annoyed.

Sodexho does it again

Again, Sodexho has failed to achieve 'cleaness' in the meals today.
When Latios, which is me, went to get.... pasta?!, they said it wasn't ready, and said I had to wait a while. 
Translation : A while in Chinese means very long time, eg. 2 hours
So, I took pizza instead. 
My friendly(?) reporter of Byzone, Fyre was also there, took pizza also, and after several minutes, he suddenly shouted, 'AHHHHH! There is hair on my pizza!!!!!' which surprised me.
He picked up the hair with the tissue, and...... he was frustrated.
Will Sodexho ever fix their HAIR problem?


Sensitive information wiped-Latios, please do not put any "sensitive" information on ByNews. Blogspot may be banned because of that. Other known as censored. I am doing this because I do not want blogspot to be blocked. Thanks,-FyreVortex

Agh! A hair in my rice!

Shanghai, China: Group of students are extremely disappointed by the quality of the food during a Spanish food promotion at their international school. "I am never, ever, going to get this again," Said one extremely angered student. "You know what? I'm going to buy two nutrition bars instead."

Another ate all the rice and no meat, even though the meat was part of the main course there.

"That thing looks so good but I'm sure it's horrible." Can be heard through whispers in the cafeteria.

The reason was that the meat was partly raw at the special Spanish promotion at their cafeteria, and when cut, with red inside. Probably the food vendor did that because there was just too much students and not enough utilities to fully cook the meat in time for the students.

This is not the first time that complaints are said in the school. Sodexho, the vendor for the school, was hit with numerous complaints. One of the complaints was that it took one day for the whole system to be synced, so that if the parents put the money in the account of their child's, it would not be in until the end of the day, or so they say. And if this happened, the counter staff would glare at you and say: "No money" and you would end up not eating lunch, borrowing someone else's lunch card, or wait through a really long line for taking a slip and writing down your student details.

A student even found a hair inside the rice once who requested to be anonymous and said: "Seriously, what should I do about it?"

Dirty tableware have been including forks, knives, spoons, can be found either really wet at the counter area or very dirty. One case was that a student found a rise stuck to the fork.

A girl also found some plastic wrapper on her fork and when contacted, she says: "Do they even wash their utensils?"

A student, now gone, said that everything in the cafeteria was a rip-off. Gatorades are 8RMB, or around $1.2 USD. Nutrition bars were 5 RMB at the time of checking, small pies with the diameter of around 4 centimeters, at 10 RMB each.
