" Why don't you take a loan? " " Is it worth it? " " I don't know but I know you wanna go. " ---------- Today, the bestf introduced me to one of Murphy's Laws. (I just Googled it and realize he has many laws.) Anyway, the one most relevant to my life right now is the one that states anything that can go wrong, will go wrong  and I guess the bestf had all the reasons to share Murphy's Law with me. The sister and I brought Shelty to see his doctor today. We were half-sure his doctor would suggest surgery so we tried our best to mentally prepare ourselves for the blow. Nothing too unexpected except the cost . Of course, I'd say $2-2.5k for a surgery of that scale is considerably reasonable. After all, Shelty's got dislocated hips (hence the disjoined joints). But, nonetheless, $2-2.5k is something we never imagined. Not before and definitely not now with all the debts we've to pay off. We had a long day. Both the ...

23 minutes passed midnight and I suddenly had this urge to update this site. Moments ago, my mom, sis and I were sitting on the bed and we started talking about family . I conclude there are two kinds of family - the immediate one and the not-so-immediate one. In all honesty, I absolutely love  my immediate family. 5 years ago, I'd never have thought my family could mean this much to me but today, I know I can't live without them. (': Okay, the picture is missing the brother but you get the point. These people are the closest, dearest relationships I treasure unconditionally and I don't know what I'd do if we never found the meaning of truly being a family. I consider myself very blessed that my family, having been through all sorts of ups and downs, never gave up on each other and we stand firmly together. Even though the father left me at a very early age, even though I spent 10 years trying to fill that void he left behind, I'm proud to say I n...

Decided I should give this site a slight update before heading back to completing my data-driven report which will be up here on Thursday as part of my curriculum for Online Journalism. My initial intent to focus on online shopping has shifted to eating disorders, especially Anorexia Nervosa , so look forward to it! ت So... I've been feeling down the past couple of days. I think school has finally taken its toll on me and I'm all burned out and it has started to feel like a drag. After one week of resting at home, I've lost all motivation to go to school. In fact, since some 3 weeks ago, I began feeling extremely tired and worn out. ☹ Yesterday was probably the tipping point. I skipped school and headed out to Serene's house with the sister and Sandy. Mama was evidently not too happy about it. Even the sister chided me for not going to school again . I was all fine with that though. I mean, its not like I didn't expect it either so I was sufficiently prepared t...

Good evening, everyone! Sunday is coming to an end soon and I'm quite hating the thought that tomorrow is Monday all over again. But, on a better  note, I'm 90% done with my CS2045 (Online Journalism) assignment! The only problem is I can't export the damn powerpoint as a movie without encountering screw-ups on my Macbaby. :-( So I consulted Google who enlightened me. There's no way to do so on MacBooks . Well, thank God for Windows then. On an even better  note! I went to Causeway Point with Mommy yesterday and I got myself a new technology gadget! My very own camera! (Its in white, yay!) I bought the Nikon Coolpix S6600 , which apparently is the latest model in the market according to the retail assistant. But I'm loving it anyway! Its got 12x zoom and 16.0 megapixels! What's even better is, its got WiFi connection so I can transfer my photos wirelessly. The screen is also twistable. So yes, for all those who love to take self-shots, this...
