Stupid is as stupid does.

You know how it is, when you do something stupid, and you know it's really stupid, but you do it anyway?
And how after doing that stupidest thing, you tell yourself, "well, that was stupid!" but then you end up still doing it again.

...and again.

...and again.

But then, after awhile of being stupid, you suddenly realize that it's no longer "Shit, this is fuckin' stupid..." but that it has evolved into "Shit, this is fuckin' wrong...". And you don't want to be wrong. At least not anymore...

The day daddy got bullied by a 5 year old

Sunday is usually the day my dad relaxes and watches TV in the living room while he sits on his favorite chair. It's the day he controls the remote. Unfortunately, we have a 5 year old guest in the house...Nicole.

As he tries to switch channels, Nicole sees all the cartoons showing and yells at my dad to switch the channel back. My dad obeys and switches back to the cartoon thinking the kid would probably ADD and go away soon enough. After a couple of minutes the kid zones out and decides to go to the kitchen to where we were. My dad then switches to HBO for the Three Amigos. Nicole sees this debauchery and runs back to my dad shrieking to bring back her cartoons...

He changes the channel almost immediately. My dad looks at me from the living room with sadness in his eyes. I told him "Tsk tsk. Overpowered by a 5 year old. Tsk." He ended up watching cartoons the whole morning with Nicole.

It's a Jungle out there...

...and my mom can survive it gracefully.

It was almost 8pm in South Supermarket when we saw people lining up in French Baker. Out of curiosity my mom and I asked one of the ladies in line. Turns out, it was the 8pm sale where they have everything half off. Mom tells me to line up and get her all the cinnamon rolls they have.

But they have a process already. Get a number and wait in line. I was # 13. Everything was ok until it was #12's turn. Just like a relay race, she ran towards the counter when the French Baker guy gave her the tray and said "go!". And just like that, she got almost everything... including 3 out of 4 cinnamon rolls that my mom wanted...Nagtira pa.

When it was finally my turn, I went to the counter immediately and told the guy i'd get the last roll, and a coffee bun. I looked at #12 with a "ikaw kasi eh..." look of disappointment.

As I lined up at the cashier, my mom went to me asking about her rolls. Sadly i told her i was only able to get just one, and pointed at #12, blaming her. While waiting in line, i saw my mom all of a sudden in a conversation with #12. They were laughing and then... I saw #12 give her one of her cinnamon rolls! Mom even tried declining but #12 was insistent she gets that roll. I asked mom if she knew her... she said "No. She told me to line up already to get the discounted bread but i told her 'pinakyaw mo na favorite ko eh...' jokingly.... and then she offered me the cinnamon roll... hehehe"


Wow. Mom can get what she wants effortlessly ...Galing.

Just like my grandmother

We got home today from DFA and SSS only to find my grandmother weak and slurring. She was complaining about not feeling well. But before she even said anything, my parents saw that there was already something wrong. Apart from her slurred speech, half of her face was drooping. 

The doctor confirmed it. She had a stroke. 

They couldn't point out when she got it. She was already in the aftermath of the whole thing! When they checked her BP, she was normal. She wasn't even sure when or how it happened. When interviewed, my lola just told the doctor and my parents that she fell over the weekend and didn't even bother to tell us. She didn't think it was anything. She slipped raw.

Crazy old lady. 

Her concern? "Doc, i love coke." (seriously, she said that and i'm not talking about Coke Zero or Light, she loooooves Red.) Doctor was getting frustrated with my grandmother, saying that (1) she should have said something when she felt something different, (2) she should listen to the doctor-- a strict diet must be implemented along with her medicine.

Crazy stubborn old lady.

After the doctors, she tried to get some rest. (i.e. we told her to get some rest and stop fussing around the house. So after a very eventful day, I tried to relax and spent some time with the puppies. Lola, bored to death went to the backyard where we were and patted the dogs. "I love these dogs..." and she left. (yep, she's out and about like nothing important happened.)

Crazy, stubborn and sweet old lady.

...And i thought I just got that from my mom.

SLEX= FAIL

SLEX stands for South Luzon Expressway. Key word EXPRESS right? That's why you're willing to pay a certain amount... to use the EXPRESSway to get to wherever fast...

... and not almost die cause you need to pee so bad but you're still stuck in traffic.

SLEX = FAIL

So that's That.

It's been awhile since I last wrote in this blog. Dunno why. But it could be because I didn't feel the need to write... or maybe, a lot, if not all the things I wanted to write about wasn't really meant for sharing.

But then that's that. And here I am again.
