missing small "tsu" (っ)

i just had my midterm exams in my japschool. in pilipins, major exams such as prelims or finals would mean long torture hours of answering :-P my sensei instructed me to finish my exam w/in 30 mins, but it took me 35mins. to be honest, the exam was easy. it covered all the lessons we took for 3 months. i passed, but i realized my score could be better. not that i'm achiving for a perfect score, it just that i kept missing small details... more or less, i missed 10 items because i forgot the small tsu, and around 2 items because i wrote it when it was not needed. :-P

i have to write in hiragana all my answers. it's actually my weakness, writing. sometimes i miss to write the 'ten-ten' (") or the 'batsu' (O) or the small tsu. tsk, zannen ne. i was so conscious of the time that i was careless. toinks.

but i'm not really bummed out of the result of my exam. but it did made me think deeper... and asked my self...

"am i missing small details in my life?"

"am i too busy to notice such details?"

"am i taking for granted the little but important things around?"

in tagalog, "kung wala ung singko, hindi mabubuo ang piso...kung walang piso, walang isang milyon..."

siguro nga... :-(
