Mom was rushed to the hospital today due to high-blood or extreme stress. She said she felt dizzy and saw the road winding before her while she was driving. Though she tried, she couldn't manage to drive another half mile to go back home so she waited for my dad to pick her up somewhere in Kalayaan. I found out about all of these when I woke up. I was completely nonchalant that my mom was brought to the hospital because I was in a deep sleep! Grrr... I felt bad this morning and of course, worried. But I'm glad that she's feeling better now although she couldn't come to work tomorrow. She needs a lot of rest. That means, we'd be going to this butterfly farm somewhere in Katipunan. :) I love butterflies. *whee*

As I was staring at my 6 year old cousin, I was reminded of a terse "intellectual yet stupid" conversation I had with him during dinner last night. It all started last week when I tried to shoe him off the television so I could watch this certain HBO flick I have waited for the whole day. As expected, he hid the remote and everything. But at the end, I succeeded in searching for the remote control and to completely disintegrate his existence in the living room! I started telling him that he should stop watching Mr. Bean cartoons. What the heck would he learn from it?! I told him Mr. Bean acts stupid and if he goes on watching it, he'd grow stupid, too. In a flick... he's gone. Waha!

Then came last night... at the dining table... he started pulling my shirt to get my attention. I responded to him and he gave me this "i-guess-you're-wrong" look. He asked. "Ate, if Mr. Bean's stupid, bakit siya nag-dri-drive?". Then my mind went -----. What is this kid talking about?! But I must admit, it was one question I wouldn't want to answer 'cause he won't understand me after all. It was however, second only to the mind-bugging question he asked me before... "Ate bakit yung cover ni Cyclops sa eyes hindi tinatablan ng powers nya pag sinuot na niya". Then I started to explain and every explanation I say he would ask why. So this time, I preferred not to say anything.

In fairness to my brat cousin, he's got the brains and the talent. Although he frequently visits their preschool's discpline coordinator, had been a mastermind in 2 school cases involving one kid with a bleeding nose and another with a wounded arm as victims, skipped all computer classes when he was in nursery, has given me enough spanks and nudges, he proved himself that he has something on his top. I remember once on a family trip, dad kept asking us "who said what" questions. Amazingly, he was able to answer dad's question about this certain famous line. I was surprised, very surprised. About his talent, he draws... he draws well --- and he consumes all my paper! Hmp! :)

I'm proud of him while I'm typing this. But by the time he come near me, he would start to become a brat again and so I'd would again manage to make him disappear!!! Haha :))

RE: Friendster worked for me today

Finally I found sense in checking my Friendster account aside from reading the same surveys everyday posted on the bulletin. Frances Zaragoza, one of my closest friends during our elementary years, replied to a message I sent her a couple of weeks back. It took her quite a while to respond, but who cares, she remembers me. I'm starting to love friendster more! Damn! I'm starting to miss all my very distant friends. Wherever they are, I miss you people!!!

I'm still in a "something's-gonna-blow-up" state this week and I can't help but think about it. Gladly, dad brought home a box of Mauna Loa to well, save me from a tolerable amount of depression. I've been through this so I must be confident enough in getting my way out. But right now, I'm still preventing the need to fret about this predicament by trying to consider it as petty. When I see the future though, it still seems so complicated. Whatever...

I'm leaving for Pansol tomorrow while Zahizu's going to Puerto Galera. Grr... I miss Puerto. But the same way I miss hanging out with my paternal cousins so I guess tomorrow would be tremendously exciting! One thing though, I'll miss my bestfriend's house blessing. It's so sad. Hmmmm... I've been waiting for it since the day I helped them move some things to the new house. Grrr... Unfortunately, family outing is scheduled tomorrow. But I'm planning to see her on Tuesday. I kinda miss her and I want to give them a gift for their new house. A lampshade for her room, perhaps. Whatever. She's into lamps right now. *lol* Well, I guess that's it. Haven't packed my stuffs!!! Uh-oh. We'd be taking Pomee, my dog, tomorrow!!! Woohoo!!! Hehe... I need to go... munch on my chocos!!! :))
