dahil sabi ni mama wala na raw kaming money. hindi naman as in wala na kaming money to eat or pay the bills. wala lang kaming money para sa grad (semi)party ko. or para sa iba pang bagay. kasi nga, si prixie ay nasagasaan ng mga nangangampanya para kay congressman ruby bacani. at ayon sa x-ray, meron shang fracture. at mga nasirang nerves. so he cant pee. and he cant poop. so kailangan nya yata ng operation. e sabi ng vet e hindi na yata pwede dahil sya ay matanda na at napakataba.
haaay, okay lang naman na walang party e.
basta ok lang si prixy.

thousands of them.
living inside the crevices of our bathroom wall.
i guess i wasnt supposed to know they were actually living there, until i decided to scrub our bathroom walls and splash em with water. so out they came. thousands of them. some carrying little white thingies that could either be (a) eggs, or (b) food. all scampering for higher, dryer ground.
i wouldnt have been sooo shocked if they came out in their usual orderly way. you know, when they follow a pheromone-laden path where they stop to greet every single ant they meet along the way by touching antennas.
but they didnt.
they were just... all over the freakin wall.
and that made me kind of guilty. coz i did sort of ruin their colony, right?
but then i thought it couldnt entirely be my fault. i mean, who lives in houses with bathrooms like this*?
[ for those of you who cant seem to fathom what this means, i guess it would help to know that i come from a family so poor that we dont even have tiles in our bathroom. just unfinished concrete walls. yeah. its that bad... but hey, we do have several potted plants placed in strategic spots. and, um, a framed copy of the... um... desiderata. ]
oh, to live in a third world country...
in other news, i read this tabloid a while ago out of sheer boredom.
comic page. check.
entertainment/showbiz. check.
headlines. check.
oooh, world news...
lo and behold, there this tiny bit written about singapore.
and the title said Major Power Failure Hits Singapore.
immediately, my mind went back to the 1990s. the time when we had regular EIGHT F*CKIN HOUR BLACKOUTS. and the jellyfish invasion caused a major trip in the power supply. and we had to sleep drenched in sweat lest our loving mothers stay up to fan us with the trusty anahaw pamaypay.
so i sat there, remembering the good, old days. imagining singaporeans dripping with sweat and cursing their government to the high heavens.
and so i read on...
Singapore suffered its first major power failure in more than 10 years with 80,000 households going without electricity for an hour, utilities officials said yesterday.
AN HOUR?! and you call that major?! and you get a 2 by 3 space in the world news for that?!!
an hour of brownout in the Philippines would seem normal!!!
say it with me people.
oh, to live in a third world country...

@ 5:20 PM
mUsT. sLeEp.
its past three. 3. T-H-R-E-E.
in the morning.
and im fuckin wide awake.
so, to take my mind off of trying to sleep, im gonna write every single random thought that comes to my mind, starting with...
nothing.
ow-kei. trying to focus. random thought... uhuh... still trying to focus...
oh crap. i cant think of anything other than the fact that i want to sleep. except i cant. ive been tossing and turning since twelve! really, i should be sleeping by now. snoring even. except, i dont snore. or at least i think i dont snore. do i? i know some of my girl friends do... but me? nah. i dont snore.
so anyway, why the hell cant i sleep. hmmm...
AH. got it.
note to self: no nescafe iced coffee before bedtime. nuh-uh. oh, and no iced teas too.
there.
back to random thoughts...
oh. my mom went to my aunt's place the other day. they got the pictures back. yup. the funeral pictures. and get this, from all SIX ROLLS OF FILM!!!
i just sooo dont get it. i mean, why would anyone want to take pictures during a funeral? do they really want to have pictures to remember the pain and grief by?
those arent exactly kodak moments, people. heck, i didnt even know if i was supposed to force a smile or cry in front of the camera! and what was i supposed to say when i see the pictures? "oh look, that was me with my eyes all red and swollen. and look, theres another with me blowing the slimy mucus off my nose." argh.
in other news...
i checked my tracker a while ago, and i was really surprised to see a whole lot of pagepadmes in there. and though im not sure if all of those hits were really from jacqui, its still nice to know that someone actually reads this stuff. so to you, my ever loyal friend and avid reader, thanks for all the love.
holy shit! its four am!!!
damn.

funny... how some people actually think you dont know... just because you pretend like you dont know... except... you really know... (does this stuff make any sense to you guys? guess not.)
eniwiez, jax, euncus and i spent about 5 hours waiting for sir ernie today.
and he didnt even show up.
i swear, sleeping on a cloud 9 bench in front of the dept with the smell of cat poo wafting through the air has never felt soooo enticing.
