Too Freaking Early
Early this evening, I was waiting for my turn in the bank. Paige sat next to me and started writing in a piece of paper. Curious, I took a peek and saw her writing her name and her crush's name, Zach and Paige.Again, I couldn't just freak out in front of her, so I didn't. But dear God, was I freaking out! Is that normal? I mean I read they have crushes at that age, but to actually doodle a crush's name?! Seriously, it's too early for the birds and...
The Husband Joined a Photo Contest
For almost a week, I had to grit my teeth and bear with the huge embarrassment my husband was heaping on me.
So, last week, I woke up early Monday morning and was greeted by my husband's huge grin and his, "I joined our photo in a contest ba!" It took a second or so for the words "our photo" to register and then I panicked. You see, I hate photo contests. I hate having my photo bandied around anywhere. I hate the spotlight. I hate being...

Burgundy?!
For the life of me, Mommy woke up this morning and decided to have fun with Nana Viol's hair. She convinced Nana Viol that she'd look fabulous with burgundy-colored hair. What she calls burgundy I call "god-awful red".
But my mother refused to listen. She's pretty devious. That's what she is. She wanted to see how the "burgundy" would look like before she uses the dye on her own hair.
I believe she found out that I was right. The dye job was...

Chikungunya
Now, imagine this scattered all over your body from head to toe and then combined this with swollen lymph nodes. The pain and itch is incredible. My eyelids are heavy. I'm incredibly sleepy. I am in pain. I am itchy and sleepy. I am miserable. Damn it.

Wailin' and Teeth Gnashing
I hate this.
God, I hate being sick. I become needy, weepy, whiny and all-round major bitch.
I have all sorts of theories why I am sick, ranging from "my leg is infected inside and its festering beneath the skin" to "I think there was something wrong with the apple I ate earlier - yes, I know it was delicious but maybe there was some sort of virus in it."
I have also pondered on the possibility that I have dengue or maybe I haven't taken a bath yet and I smell like shit, so I am getting sick. This theory was blown to kingdom come...

Deluge
This place never fails to bring forth a torrent of bittersweet memories. I spent 8 years of my life here. I built friendships here. I met some of the most amazingly unique people I know in this place - brilliant people who helped me discover things about myself that I didn't know. I became my own person here. I fell in love here - twice in fact! And 'tis here too that I had my heart broken.
It's the same, but not the same every time I step...

Big Foot
I detest, despise, abhor and hate my feet. They're big and ugly, incredibly ugly. I bet they look like Big Foot's feet. In fact, I think his feet look dainty compared to mine. Yes, dainty!
Big Foot will probably laugh his ass off if he'd see how dainty his feet look next to mine. His feet will inspire odes and poems. Mine will inspire nightmares. I exaggerate but you get the drift, right?
Ignore the picture, you should see the...
