perhaps i failed to mention that i had the best saturday! my parents came here for a visit and they brought along my two younger siblings.we had so much fun!
although we got stuck in traffic for about an hour or so, it was so much worth it because we spent the time catching up on stuff and laughing and spending quality family time together. i miss my family a lot...especially that my dad is working again back in our province. it was a lot bearable last year that my dad was here because he makes the prospecct of missing home (especially my mom and siblings) less felt. i mean, when he was still working here, we always talked about a lot of stuff (like we always do) and he always made sure that we get to talk to my mom over the phone every night. now that he's not here, the house feels really empty and boring.
but nonetheless, i'm still really thankful that he's back at work in his office there. atleast, the things that weren't done right by the person he replaced (sorry to be cynical, but it's true--the former guy that used to do my dad's old job is a good for nothing SOB who made life miserable for my dad's staff). the ones working for my dad are really really great people who would always be invited at home everytime we have celebrations of some sort and they were really close with my dad.
that is just one of the many admirable things that i look up to in him--he's very down-to-earth and pleasant, he treats everyone that works for him as equals and human beings, but at the same time, instilling in them the level of respect that he is still the boss. my dad is a great man.he really is. people should know him and look up to him.
anyway, i also miss my mom so much.it's primarily because i miss the shopping sprees (haha) and the seemingly unlimited supply of money everytime i am with her.*kidding* but, yeah, honestly, i miss her a lot. not only for the shallow reasons i already made mention of, but because i miss the person who has taught me a lot about life and how and what i should be, especially when dealing with people.
my friends know this: my mom is perhaps the most abrasive, tactless and straighforward person i know.in a lot of ways, i take up like her. i mean, your ears would seriously burn out if they're untrained for my mom's tirade, which would go on for hours usually. but i love her still and the respect i have for her never wavers because of it.
there was one time earlier last june when my friends and me talked about getting jobs so we could have some extra "dough" for our miscellaneous expenses. i timidly asked her about it and i wanted to see if she was gonna give me her consent, but she was like, "why would you want a job?are we getting poor?is your dad and me not earning enough to give you all that you want?" whoa. and i was like, "no, mom. i'm sorry. forget about it."
funny, right? one thing about my mom--she's way too much of an ego and she has a very biting pride. she just doesn't want us to be tired of hard labor while we're still at school. i mean, that's very gallant and noble of my parents. i understand them--for the most part.:) hehe come to think about it, while i write about her, it's like i'm writing about myself too.
anyway.change of topic.
you would never believe who i chanced on last saturday while we had mass!
**a little disclaimer: for the benefit of online peace, i wouldn't be mentioning any names again**
i saw, undoubtedly, the ex girlfriend of my highschool crush! (well, for my high school friends reading this, you already know the people involved..just keep quiet about it, okay?) i was so surprised that i would be seeing her, and in the house of God, no less!not that i didn't think that she had no religion or anything, but i would say that it was very unlikely that we would see each other, of all places, inside the church!we didn't say "hi" or "hello", ofcourse, since we had quite a silent war after they became boyfriend and girlfriend, but it wasn't like i was expecting her to acknowledge me either. what the eff, if that's the way she wants it, then let the games begin...
we used to friends (i think), because we were always friendly with each other back in my sophomore year and when she was in her junior year in highschool. but after we both competed in the election for the same postion, that was when we started ignoring each other. and "him" having a thing for "her" didn't help either. if anything, it made me hate her even more. but after all these years, i forgot about all the hurt and i allowed bygones be bygones. i mean, that's just the mature thing to do, right? and after all, she can't possibly pull my hair and engage me in a catfight..her school is like, all the way across the other side of the city.
whatev.
i can't believe our exams are coming up in a few days. i hope i can manage studying and looking last minute for notes and asking my smart, nice and understanding blockmates to help me out with my difficulties in finance. hehe
we had the class picture taking today and we laughed our butts off. seriously. my blockmates are a group of insane, loud, wacky but intelligent people who are fond of "lurlur"...haha. yet another of the infamous 2CA1 secret vocabulary that people have to research about in order for them to find out.
well.i guess this is good for now.
till next post.have a great day everyone!=*
ciao.
