good news

got up super early today... had to go with my sister today. i only got 3 1/2 hours of sleep... why? how should i know? who invented insomnia anyway? when i figure that out, ill let yall know. i didnt wake up on the right side of the bed, not mentioning the fact that one side of my bed is pushed against the wall... in any case, the lack of sleep and the disturbing fact that ive been getting this off and on sick thing for three weeks now wasnt helping my mood. i had to force myself to eat, since my last meal was 1730H yesterday. so i tried to stuff myself with two spoonfuls of rice and a small portion of keilbasa (did i spell that correctly?) and left with my sister. i forgot to take some pills, so obviously, i sort of get a major headache. en route to my sister's school, i try to sleep to get rid of the headache and the nausea but it doesnt work. the care was moving too much and the car reeked of air freshner which i think doesnt really make anything smell fresh. i mean really... most of it smells bad anyway... i dropped my sister off and went to a civil service in batasan. i had the driver stop in the parking lot. i had to get some air. i stayed in the car for about 10 minutes to get my equilibrium back. i walked to the government building and fill out some forms. after two hours of painful gruelling waiting... the results come out and i leave a happy witch. i get back in the car, get sort of carsick again, grab my sis and we had lunch near her school. we got back on the road and i desperately fought to keep my lunch in while we did a quick trip to an atm machine and the supermarket. another quick trip to pricesmart and i was home free! i got home and tried to rest. after a while, i called my dad. he was asleep, sick as well. he called an hour later. i told him the good news. i passed my civil service exam.

parlez vouz francais?

i was bored... so i went out for a spin... the car took me to the fort... then i found myself in pricesmart. why the heck did i end up here? i looked around... found nothing out of the ordinary. but they had a lot of stuff then, many things to chose from. i just got some pizza and went back home... later, i went to my grandfather's house. i got to see most of my aunts there. sort of a mini family get together i guess. there was a lot of food. but i just had some mangoes... the green ones. i was asked to watch my cousin. he was so heavy i was tired after 10 minutes. thankfully, his mother came back and took him. i thought my arms were going to fall off... then we headed home. i fell asleep in the car out of exhaustion. oh, i just remembered. i applied for a job... and they agreed to accept me... but theres a catch... i need to be fluent in french... sucks doesnt it? je parle francais en peu... i only speak a little french...

freakin humans

i got up so freakin early to go to an interview. i was so very sleepy. when i got there... the morons tell me there wont be any interview for today for they decided to have a holiday today. what the crap.. of all the days.. they decide that today would be a good time not to go to work... freakin humans... they didnt even consider all those who came for interviews and exams... so now im completely awake and totally fuming... to hell with them.. who wants to work for them anyway... im just gonna bake a cake and cook at home till i chill..

emergency measures 19

last monday, i went to my room with uchi and ia (as she said in her recent post about japchae...) and we got to taste (me, for the first time) anggie's cooking... ttobokki (did i spell that correctly?) and it was actually quite good... i wouldve preferred it to be spicier.. but she didnt make it for me... so yeah... but shes a pretty good cook... i guess i like korean food too... i got a magazine and free posters.. i got lee jaewon's poster too.. not bad... though i wanted a hyesung poster... which the store didnt carry... they got lots of clothes there, but i dont like to shop for clothes and stuff, so too bad coz their stuff are cool, its korean (haha). i got home, only to go out again, shop for school stuff. we didnt have electricity at home so it was so freakin hot so i had to take my brothers and sister with me as well. by the time my youngest brother wanted to stop and eat, i was so exhausted, i thought my legs were going to give way... then they decided they didnt want to stay in the mall anymore.. it was very crowded... good thing the power came back on when i got home... the next day... i didnt do much... next day... i didnt do much either... i tried calling uchi from tuesday till this afternoon and i was finally able to talk to her... lets just say i missed her and i wanted to thank her for the dvd. this movie which featured tons of gasoos.. well... had an interesting storyline... but it got confusing and boring at some point... discriminating and dragging... i loved seeing shinhwa... but all bloody? okay this sucks... all in all this entry sucks... and well... it sucks period.

sketch

howdy yall... i went to the mall today. i went to comic alley to purchase some stuff to send to my friend in the states. her father came to visit the philippines and to see all his old friends (which includes my dad and a bunch of other guys i also happen to know). so i was given the chance to send her something bigger than bracelets and necklaces. the last time i saw her, i promised to get her some anime stuff (we both like anime) so i got her some posters and a mousepad (her favorite anime too!). my father wouldnt take it with him, so i asked his other friend to take it for me. now, its on its way to the states with my friend's father... how nice.. i feel good.. i got her something she really wanted! while i was at the store, i got myself some stuff too.. i bought some gundam seed and gundam wing things. when i got home, i felt like i was in my artistic mode. i grabbed my sketchbook, my trusty pencil and eraser and sat on the sofa. i finished drawing in record time... or should i say, i finished copying the anime i got in record time. im no artist or anything. in any case, im proud of my sketch, just so you know...

banana cake

i found bananas on the table. i got an idea and acted on it. i needed to do some errands. im grounded but i managed to get out of the house.. i guess there are times when i actually use my head... and for once, my mother cant say i disobeyed her again... she sent me on the errand after cussing at me... interesting dont you think? i went to the mall to get some stuff for a friend abroad.. i also did a side trip to uchi's office... gave her some other crap... sort of to compensate for not being able to get her some twinkies... so sorry uchi... now tonight, i all i need to do is heat up left over's! isnt that nice? and i got me a new pin... sorry... sometimes... little things can make me happy too... *ting* it's done!

happy mother's day!

today is mother's day, and i yet i dont seem to care as much... i didnt get up at all... i finally roused at around 3 pm to go catch hell... though i didnt catch hell.. my mom just told me i owe her a lot of money... what a way to start my day right? so... there was no food... my dad was asleep. i decided not to eat altogether... too lazy to cook. my dad got up and told us we were going out for dinner. so i got another reprieve from cooking and cleaning. i did some chores and before i knew it, it was time for dinner. we all got dressed up and waited... and waiter... before we knew it, it was 8 pm already... so i dressed down and started to cook dinner. my mother came out and just told my brother to get take out. my dad apparently, was still in dreamland and nobody could get him out of there... i had to whip up dinner faster than ive ever done... dinner was done in 30 minutes... we got pizza which arrived 2 hours late... what a life... happy mother's day mom!

saved by the dad

obviously, i didnt get into too much trouble... i received a reprieve... the reason, strange enough... my father actually saved me... he didnt say why i shouldnt get into trouble and be cancelled... he just told my mother to leave me alone... let it alone... he wasnt too happy about his car getting.. err.. 'written' on... i mean, who would? you get back from your trip and you find out 3 out of your 4 cars incurred problems while you were away. i mean, come on... a few days of relaxation should never be equal to problems as such... i didnt get much out of this trip, though other people that i know sent me stuff through them... i got pretty neat stuff too... things i never thought i would ever own too... those things i actually asked for, i didnt get... but i got tons of bracelets from my aunt... which i really really love... so all in all... i didnt sleep to pick them up, had to work my ass off to get the house ready to welcome them, drive myself half insane to get everything in check and to top it all off, tried to keep their household from burning down... gosh.. its either im too young and naive and ignorant for these things... or im just too old and naive and ignorant and senile... bottom line is... my dad saved my ass... why?

series of unfortunate... stuff...

okay... one. as i said before the incident with the check... really... my bad.... two. the matrix has a few scratches while i was using it. three. some (idiotic with nothing to do) kids threw rocks at me while i was driving the city... major white dent on a black car... four. our dryer isnt drying anything... it just spins and spins... five. the driver discovered hits on my dad's new altis... somebody wrote on it... literally... now there is a "migs love grace" on the hood of my dad's car... he'll go ballistic when he sees it... and ill probably be the one he would interrogate. six. i just got a final email from my mom before she boarded her flight... i think shes passing all the blame to me... sure, i guess i was at fault for not checking... but hey... she said it had enough funds for both my brother's tuition... and its my fault i forgot to check it... aish.. this day cant get any worse... on a lighter note... i hope pops in seoul shows something nice today...

bouncing checks

hmmm... second post. this day is quite exciting. i got a call from an unregistered number telling me that my check does not have enough funds and might bounce. how odd... i just deposited money in it and now the bank claims that i have insufficient funds? how wrong is that? i was later informed that i need to deposit money or else i will get a fine of a thousand bucks... so i rush to the bank and pay for it, only to find out that i was already fined and it was non-refundable... i didnt suffer the embarrassment of a bouncing check (thank god) but i lost cash in the process too. later i trace the root of the problem. my mother. my mother issued a check before she left and didnt replace it. aish... this day cant get any worse than it already is... *crosses fingers*

hell and back

woke up today with a massive headache... talk about waking up on the wrong side of the bed... i woke up on the wrong bed... mine was too cluttered to so i had to crash someone else's... ive got tons of chores today, but i cant seem to start any of them at the moment, instead i went out and came here... online... i left my younger siblings home alone... was that a bad idea? i also took the car that has a 5-6 ending... and today is a wednesday... which means i can get caught for breaking the traffic rules... you know, the color coding thing... which makes me think, since when are colors and numbers the same? ive never heard of the color 3 or 2 before... neither have i heard of the number red or blue... ive run out of things to say. blessed be.
