I've complained about lack of communication within the family before - and now I know that my dad sympathizes wholly. My parents had an argument today over the land they bought in Vietnam. The details aren't important, because the foundation of the problem wasn't the land but our family dynamics. My mom began crying today and bewailing the fact ( Read more... )

OK, I sorted it out with Carlos. It turns out he did text me with his own apology and accepting mine, but for some reason his text showed up blank on my phone. We talked until about 2 in the morning. I cried quite a bit and didn't understand why at first. But then I had this outpour of pent up feelings that I didn't know I had. I guess I had a lot ( Read more... )

Went to the mall with my mom and Co Le this morning. FINALLY. My mom only ever wants to go to Old Navy or Ross, and I just hated it 'cause I could never find anything worth buying at those places. But anyway we only went to JCPenney and afterwards to Victoria's Secret to get a free cotton panty. At JCPenney my mom bought me a white strapless shirt ( Read more... )

Ahhhh... it's so great playing basketball at night, in the park, next to a creek, with the one you love and his family :) Today could possibly be the best day this summer ( Read more... )

This entry is probably going to contain a lot of grammatical errors, and just plain bad writing.

My goals for today:
1) Study French for half an hour.
2) Read to at least page 350 of Jane Eyre.
3) Purchase Leo Africanus and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime online ( Read more... )

So, contrary to my first impression from skimming Carolyn's copy on the bus, Jane Eyre isn't that boring. I'm not dropping off to sleep in the middle of every page, as has happened before with physics books or books that go into too much detail about everything. That's good. Nonetheless I'm taking a break from reading it at the moment and poring ( Read more... )

Urgh. I'm really bored. I should be doing something productive with my time instead of going around the internet to blogs of people I basically stalk to look through their archives for the umpteenth time, but I don't feel like moving. My lower back hurts due to my period; I become so sedentary because of it ( Read more... )

I met Carlos' mom today. I helped her and Carlos bake cookies, and it was wonderful because as Carlos and I were mixing together the eggs and sundry ingredients with our bare hands, our hands kept touching, buried in the batter, very covertly. Carlos’ mom and dad know that there is a little bit more than a platonic friendship between us, but ( Read more... )

Thank you kindly to Aimee and Lana, who wondered where the heck I've been for all this time :-P Books and people and music have been engrossing me deeply, and because of them I can never find the time to write anymore. But somehow it seems better like this: I'm just happy, not worrying about whether I'm leading an interesting enough life to write ( Read more... )

Just got home from a play at Kennedy. It was great and funny, and I wish I could do that! However, I'm too scared of crowds. I know I'd forget my lines and just botch up the entire play somehow, make it less interesting or something just by my mere presence on stage. Anyways, when Thi dropped me off I said the single most inadvertently ( Read more... )
