My Monster Mom

My mom has turned into a monster, a teenage monster at that. HAAAAAYYYZZZZ!!!

Everytime I come home and look for something to eat, my siblings would say that mom has no time to cook coz she's out with her "barkadas", playing bowling.

At first, I just shrug and do the cooking meself. 

But lately, her "escapades" has become too often to ignore. GRRRRRRRRRRRR.

She even borrows our clothes! Clothes that are meant for teeny boppers to boot! She frets about her nails every gawdamned morning. She asks me to buy her jeans and shoes and shirts  every pay day. I don't mind spoiling her... but sometimes, even saints have their limits.

She even has this craze for playing loud music early in the gawdamned morning! 7am? Hell No!!! When I say early morning, I mean 4am.

I often feel like I'm looking at myself 5 years ago. Teen and green. O.M.G.

Ok...so I am glad that she's now primping often and does not look like a dishevelled damsel all the time. I'm also glad that she's not just sitting in front of the TV from morning till dusk. She now hasa sport and that's good coz she'd stay healthy and away from the dangers of heart attack. 

I've been praying before that if God could give her a different focus so that she does not become too depressed everytime Dad leaves. Our Dad is based in Davao and only comes home once in 2 months.

I've been praying... and I really thank the Lord for granting this request...

But man! I didn't ask for a TEENAGE MONSTER MOM!

It's the day before Christmas...and here I am checking...

You Are 52% Evil

You are evil, but you haven't yet mastered the dark side. Fear not though - you are on your way to world domination.

How Evil Are You?

TABBY

Ang bunso ng pamilya...si Tabby.

Siya'y inampon namin nung mga bandang July.

Naalala ko pa nung gabing yun...lahat kaming magkakapatid (Ako, si Jun, si Roan at ang pinsan naming si Girly) ay nasa labas ng bahay. Nag-aantay sa isa pa naming kapatid na ni si Siera...

Nasa kanya kasi ang susi...para tuloy kaming mga kawawa sa labas, nakasimangot at nayayamot nang nag-aantay.

Nang mga sandaling iyon...bigla akong may narining na umiiyak...

Blogger: Jun, narinig mo yun? Ano yun?

Jun: Wala...baka may naglalaro lang.

Roan: Bakit? Ano ba yun?

Blogger: Ewan ko ba...parang may umiiyak na bata...

Girly: (tahimik lang)

Jun: Wala...anyakamet...nag-i-imagine ka na naman.

Maya-maya'y umakyat mula sa ibabang palapag ang magkapatid na si Dan at Tyrone. May hawak hawak silang handbag. Iwinawasiwas ni Dan ang hand bag na parang salagubang sa ere. At dahil sa mejo maliit si Dan, nawala siya sa balanse at napaupo siya sa semento. Kasabay nito'y nahagis ang hand bag sa may paanan ko...

Muli kong narinig ang parang umiiyak na bata...

Blogger: O, Dan...ano toh? (Sabay nudge sa handbag gamit ang toe ko - kumaluskos ang bag...)

Napatalon ako sa gulat...akala ko'y daga...haler, kadiri kaya ang makagat ng house rat noh...eeeew!

Ngunit nang makita na talaga namin ang nasa loob...

At hayun na nga...duon na nagsimula ang talambuhay ng aming kuting na si Tabby. Bininyagan namin siyang tabby dahil napulot namin siya sa tabi-tabi. 

Si Tabby...ang bunso ng aming pamilya.

Subalit nitong Nobyembre... ang minsang ihatid niya si Roan sa may sakayan ng jip (para kasi siyang aso... naghahatid pag may umaalis sa amin sa bahay...)

Hindi na siya muli pang nagbalik sa aming tahanan...

Hay...san ka na kaya, Tabby?

No Gifts Yet

Last Year and the year before that, I have always managed to complete my shopping list by the 2nd week of Christmas.
This year, I honestly do not know if just me not having time or if it's me not feeling the usual magic of the season.
SIGH.
I gotta get rid of this "feeling"... whatever it is.
Damn!

Quiz, anyone?

Nothing better to do...
I've already exhausted my eyes by reading 2 pocketbooks today.
I've gone through my usual rounds in my friendster page.
I've clicked into a site and found an interesting online quiz.
Ahahha...
I'm not sure I wanted to agree with the results... but what the hell...

Are you still in love with your ex?

You still miss them. You're not crying yourself to sleep, but your ex does come across your mind now and then. You wonder if they're thinking about you sometimes, and they probably are, but you still keep talking to new people. The memory of them doesn't paralyze your heart when it comes to love. So just wait and see where you end up, where ever that is it's meant to be.

Our Very First Christmas Tree

(daz me)

Nyaharharharhar!!!!
Finally! After 23 years of always beggin' me daddy and me mommy about buyin' a tree, we finally got one!!!! HORRAAAYYY!!!

It was actually an impulsive decision on me dad's part. My kid sister, Roan (the one eating the Christmas ball, beside her is another sister of mine, Siera), kept bugging us that we need to put a little spruce here and there in our humble abode so that she could atleast feel Christmas in the air.
I guess it's my fault. Ever since we were kids, I'd always be the one to be up and about (like, say 3am in the morning) trying to create boughs, lanterns and decors so that we'd have something to symbolize the holiday season.
Lately, I've been a bit busy with work. I work in a call center. Yep, yep... the employees of this industry could literally pass as cousins of vampires (minus the fangs and the cravin' for blood --- eeeewww!). So instead of me waking up early to decorate, and surprise my siblings when they finally decide to get up from their beds; it's been months of me snoring the whole day and waking up when all of them are already off to school (or to their normal day activities).

Ahhh well, I'm just glad that me dad decide to buy us a tree. It gave me an excuse to exercise my decorating skills once again.

Blasted Curiosity

Typical Friday. Our shift starts at 5PM, Manila Time. Very few people around. (Sigh) Thank God for small blessings.
I was having my afternoon coffee in peace, when all of a sudden, one impudent agent of mine walked up to me and sat beside me.

VG: Boss, I've been wonderin...?
Blogger: (looking at my phone, pretending to be busy texting somebody so that the intruder would go away) About?
VG: If your virgin or not.
Blogger: (Now that got my attention. It actually snapped my head up so fast that I got dizzy) Huh? Did I just hear you right? Or am I imagining this conversation?
VG: Don't be mad at me, boss. Me and the boys were just curious.

Ok. So my agents were debating amongst themselves of my gawdamned virginity? Jesus!

Blogger: Er...(blink, blink, blink)
VG: It's ok, Boss. We won't tell anyone.
Blogger: Uh-huh.
VG: It's just that, with you bein' so strict and all, they were saying that your boy might not have had the guts to... you know... do it with you yet.
Blogger: (mentally counting the probability of kicking the twerp's balls) Hmmmm.
VG: I mean, you can't blame us wonderin.. coz you know that Fatz and I have always had the hots for you.
Blogger: I see. (Thank God I don't blush that easily)
VG: we don't mean to offend you! It's just that we can't help but wonder, is all.

I swear, this was the weirdest conversation in my 2 years of being a team lead.

Blogger: Buzz off, VG. I will not dignify your question with an answer.
VG: (smiled like the sun just shined after 40 days of rain) So you are a virgin! I knew I was right!
Blogger: (Silent Prayer: Lord, grant me patience. Or I swear this guy will not last another day in this company) VG, really... this conversation will not make you any more knowledgeable with the product. Stick to your gawdamned manuals!
VG: (grinning like an idiot) Yes, Boss!
Blogger: (grumble, grumble, grumble)

Twilight Craze!

Ok, so it may not be the best plot ever. But still, there were moments that made you smile. The stars who played the parts may also not be the best, but they actually grow on you (the moment that you get used to their faces plastered on billboards and posters where ever you go - dang!)

The Books of Twilight Saga.

Haven't read them all yet but my sister and some friends have already spoiled the last book's story to me. Hmmm... Bella did describe Edward as ice cold and hard as stone. With that in mind, I wonder what she felt when he finally made love to her? (chortle, chortle)

Twilight Movie Poster

I don't think this is the official one. But it's still nice. I never saw Edward's fangs in the movie. Although I noticed that he had some S slips.... hmmm... must have been the tongue rolling over his sucking teeth.

Edward Cullen

In truth, Robert Pattinson is not the Edward Cullen that I had in mind. However, his brooding stare and his lopsided grins are passable. In the movie, he certainly had those intense moments where in he looked so hot. But still, he needs to practice his acting skills some more.

Bella Swan

Definitely pretty. But just like Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart needs to polish her acting skills. And she might to modulate a little. I swear, she sounded like a 12 year old boy every time she talks!

The Cullens

Don't they look grand? This is Edward's family. Rather charming, especially since they all feed on animals instead of human blood. Can you just imagine the giant Emmett and the hot and vicious Rosalie sharing a deer for snack? Har har har.

The Bad Guys

James, Laurent and Victoria. I did not imagine Laurent as a black dude. But the hair was a definite winner. Victoria was refreshing. She looked really deadly. And James... well, too bad he just had to die.

View from the Top

This scene was breathtaking! Just imagine climbing the tallest tree and seeing everything from a bird's point of view! Plus, they really did look like they were enjoying playing spider monkey! Nyahaha... tough luck with that! Not even a hot guy like Edward could make me enjoy clinging to branches that high.

Foreplay

Errr... yeah, looks like a foreplay but not really. Gawdamned PG13 rating... (mutter, mutter).

Intense Fight

This was one of my favorite parts. The shattering of walls and the breaking of mirrors. Absolutely blood pumping! And then Alice, Jasper and Emmett came along... ripping beautiful James apart (sigh).

Happy Ending?
It is, after all a Highschool love affair.

Fave song of the Month - Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis

Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis

Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone’s looking round
Thinking I’m going crazy

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it’s draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I’ll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
