Turkey, anyone?

When mom came out from the hospital, Aunt Alice, Angela and I prepared a special meal for everyone that night. All of us were so happy eating together, and the roasted turkey Aunt Alice prepared was the bomb! I missed her roasted turkey, which she always cooks for Christmas or Thanksgiving Day. I really missed these sorts of moments, when we are complete, together and very happy. Last Christmas wasn’t like this, Aunt Alice went to Macau to visit her late husband’s only living brother, who was sick and dying (he recovered and still well until now, though) and Angela went to her university and failed her request to go home because of loads of school work. It was only me, mom and Dad, and really, I’m not an effective company. I don’t speak much and would wait for others to start a conversation. I was grateful with Mom and Dad though, they tried really hard to make over Christmas Eve fun though it’s only the three of us. We exchanged gifts, watched Disney Christmas movies (yeah, really dude) and then drank hot chocolate.

Anyway, back to present, after the meal, we talked on the living room about every random things and the events we missed being together. I think Angela had been forgetting slightly about Mark as we laughed about funny things and then reminisced about our childhood when Aunt Alice would buy us Sailor Moon masks. We also told Aunt Alice about elisa kits and told her to keep kits in her house; it might help about anything, but probably not with pregnancy, LOL. It’s too bad they never had children, Aunt Rudolf died very early, and because of Aunt Alice’s devotion for him, she never married again. Cool isn’t it? Maybe that’s what they call true and endless love. I hope Angela could see through that. That it could not be the end of her love story, that maybe Mark wasn’t really the guy for her. Actually I have friends who had seven years together but realized they’re not really meant to be and broke up. Besides she’s still very young, she’ll definitely find some other guy out there that’s totally meant for her, and not people like Mark. Anyway, that’s for today I guess, I’m pretty sleepy. Toodles!

YET ANOTHER ATTACK

I was so scared, that was the only thing my mind’s stuck to right now. I can’t move, I wanted to panic but just froze there. Mom had a heart attack again and I thought it’s gonna be the real deal. Good thing dad was there and took her elisa kits and knew what to do. Still shocked, I assisted him and we rushed mom to the hospital. I was so scared, really, I thought we were going to lose her…we wouldn’t be able to accept it. When she was finally stable in the hospital, I called Angelica and she immediately excused herself from school and travelled back here. She was crying when she arrived in the hospital, she was already depressed about Mark, and now this. I don’t know what’s happening but I hope it won’t get worse, we comforted Dad, and he seemed almost over the edge. I know he was so scared but brave at the same time, I know he wouldn’t survive without mom. Maybe someday he would be able to cope with it, but definitely not right now, and definitely not that day.

Mom’s sister, our Aunt, Alice came over at once to help us take care of her. Mom’s state worsened maybe because about her work. I know Dad would immediately make her resign, the job isn’t very stressful but we can’t risk mom. I totally understand him if he would do that, even though it would make mom sad. Later that afternoon, Mom finally gained consciousness and smiled her ever-so-warm smile at us and we instantly felt its effect. We all felt assured that she was alright now; Mom is like the beacon of happiness and hope for us. She was talking again, joking with us, and told Dad “I love you, John.” secretly, though I was too near so I heard it.

I salute mom and dad’s relationship and the way their eyes talk, the moment they looked at each other when mom woke up, Dad finally calmed down and Mom looked at him as though saying not to worry. It was like their very private moment that I needed to look away before they could catch me looking. Despite of the horror about what just happened, I saw something especially about this. It reunited my family even just for a brief period of time. Aunt Alice wasn’t able to visit us for almost five months now, she was too lazy, she said, and we understand that. And then Angela was here, I would be able to comfort her more about the incident with Mark. This sort of situations brings pain and happiness at the same time, we just need to be prepared about it! Please pray for mom! Thanks guys!

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY – JUST PLAIN SICK!!

So yeah, some of my friends came over our house and one of them, Diane, brought a DVD titled Paranormal Activity. She said she hasn’t seen the movie yet but her brother told her it would really freak us out. As you know, I love HORROR movies so I bravely put it on, took out the buttered popcorn and turned off the light. The volume was put on almost max, and it was set on our legendary (PERFECT) sound system, like we were in a cinema. At first, the film was like just a normal video-taking of a couple talking senselessly. They were taking videos of their everyday lives on their new house. I was bored in the beginning, until it turned nighttime and we heard weird noises as the couple, Micah and Katie, was asleep.

As the film went on, we found out that Katie had been having a paranormal entity following her since she was eight. And Micah, her fiancé, tried everything to stop the entity disturbing them every other night. I WAS DAMN FREAKED OUT! Really! Like omfg, this is something different. The ending was really sad, Katie ended up killing Micah, but the police. It was so sad; I felt remorse for the two. After the movie, all of us were speechless. Miranda won’t go to the bathroom alone, almost all of us, except the two boys, went with her. I was totally shocked and traumatized of what we saw and didn’t sleep well that night. Fortunately, before I did this post, I searched YOUTUBE for the video of Diane (which was in the movie) and found out that PARANORMAL ACTIVITY wasn’t real and was actually a scripted film. I guess I’ll sleep better this night, the heck, they said it was freaking real.

Oh well, anyway, I still need to get mom her elisa kits so my post’s gonna end here for now. And yeah, I still recommend the film to everyone. It’s cool to be frightened thinking it’s real and be terrified and be relieved when you find out it’s not real. And yeah, Steven Spielberg, so you were involved in it. LOL!
Toodles guys!

NEW START AND FINAL ENDINGS

First and foremost, this might be a very sad post from me. Many things happened lately, too much to bear, actually, but I guess I can slowly handle it. I’ll start about the lighter topic, mom finally found a job that doesn’t require hard work. She was hired as a researcher (home-based) and would earn about just enough every month. Meaning, our bills would be paid on time, more food on the fridge and lighter atmosphere in the house. Mom and Dad had been having arguments about money again and wanted to intervene, but knew better. It’s a “couple” problem, something my parents need to figure out themselves. Though I’ve been earning money as well, they’re still the parents and totally in charge of everything at our house. And so, less bickering and more smiling; Mom had been super sweet on Dad since she got accepted. Dad was happy as well, proud of his wife, and of course, about the financial improvement too. Such a good start, man!

And then, here comes the grave news. It’s about my sister, Angelica; she’s only eighteen years old and her happy days were over. It’s all because of her boyfriend’s fault, Mark. Angelica called to me last night (because she was staying over at her dorm in school) crying and sobbing. It turned out that she caught Mark with another girl and the girl ended up pregnant. I heard they used an elisa test kit to be sure and it ended up positive. Angela and Mark had been boyfriends for five years now, and it’s a bit disappointing. I don’t know how to comfort Angelica; I wanted to tell her she was even lucky because she wasn’t the one Mark screwed up with. But of course, she loves him, it was obvious on her depressed reaction, and I can’t do anything about it. I know that anything I say would be so useless, so I just told her that our family is here always to support her and that I got her back. She’s still senseless as of now. Everything ended for her in an instant; it’s something a person can’t get over with easily. I understand her situation, if I was her, I would break down too. I would feel betrayed and I wouldn’t be able to recover immediately. Curse that Mark.
