desperate to visit my friends & boyfriend, but i NEED my dad to let me =( help.. Options

[cewinee]

ok i didnt know where to put this topic under :(

anyway.. here's the deal..
my boyfriend was gona come here in april to visit me again (we're in a long distant relationship - 2years). we visit each other every 2-3months..
i live in Jordan (Middle East) and he lives in the Philippines (my Home Country).
I have no school from March 25th til the month of June which is when my exams are.

In the Philippines in April:
+My boyfriend is graduating
+My boyfriend has a tournament going on in April that i wanna be there for to support
+My friends are graduating and leaving for college abroad so it may be the last time i ever see them after a really long time
+They're all planning to go to Boracay (Beautiful beach in Philippines) for a graduating celebration, last time to see each other and all

So yeah ALOT is going on in April and i dont wanna miss out on alot of those things =( and i want my boyfriend to stay in Philippines to be able to spend quality time with his friends instead of coming here.
Also i miss my friends so much, and i need a break to get out of Jordan cuz i really hate it here and i barely go out..

Thing is.. i need my Dad's permission and i need him to pay for most of my ticket.. i'm willing to have him use my allowance, i don't care as long as i can go in april im so desperate =( I don't have a very close relationship with my dad and i barely ask him for anything, we never really talk, i dont know him really =/ Ticket should cost around $500-800.. I've been getting really good grades and its a MAJOR improvement from how i've been doing last year so maybe i could use that somehow? How should i start the conversation and end up asking him this permission? any other suggestions on what i can say to really convince him to let me go? what would u do if u were in the same situation? have any of you actually been through somethin like this n got ur parent to let you? anything! i'm so desperate to go please help =(

just ask your dad..if he'll let you go. that your willing to throw your money into the ticket. if nessasary. to meet the ticket price half way at least...but yeah..tell him you miss your friends and your bf.... and you really wanna go see how they're doing...(this only works for girls your so lucky)..but yeah good luck..dad's are suckers....cause they think their little girl is the bestest thing in the world..etc....
