I have a friend who loves motorcycles. He finds it more convenient, especially here in the Metro because of the traffic jams. And now he’s looking for used Harleys. But I don’t think we have them here. Me? I’ve ridden a motorbike once, in Thailand. I don’t even know how to bike. Haha! I think I got scared when I was still a kid and I saw my cousin fell down one. It wasn’t really tragic but I got scared anyway. But I’m still hoping I’d learn one day. And then maybe I could train and go biking around the metro and the nearby provinces.

It’s sad to think about all the prices of basic commodities skyrocketing. And a lot of families in the US are experiencing foreclosure of their home. My BIL’s cousin owns a financing company and their business is slow because people just couldn’t afford to buy new houses anymore. And I just can’t believe how much a liter of gasoline now costs. I’d rather commute now than bring the car… it’s cheaper and more convenient anyway with all the traffic here in Manila. I just hope that Airlines won’t increase their fees because I’m really planning to travel on my won by the end of this year or early next year.

This is my first time to rant about my dad, so please forgive me. I love him but I just don’t get him. See, my niece is scheduled for her surgery next month and we’re all trying to save up for this. Of course we’re not obliged to but it would be nice if everyone in the family would do something for her.

So, my dad volunteered to pay our water bill every month but he never did. And now he just bought a new LCD TV and keeps bragging about it. Then he tells my sister to inquire if he can take a loan from his health insurance just so he could help with my niece’s surgery. What is up with that? I mean, if he really wanted to help then he should have not bought the TV and just saved up his money.

My niece and nephew have a new pair or eyeglasses. They went for a check-up with their ophthalmologist two weekends ago and this past weekend they got their new glasses already. I think I seriously need to get my eye check-up also… my glasses are already old and I think that’s what’s triggering my headaches these past few weeks. And I definitely need one with scratch-proof lenses. I remember my recent pair, it already had scratches from my first week of using it. Haha!

A friend of mine thinks I’m mental and that I NEED medication. Haha! I’m sure if I were using drugs, he’d be the first one to send me to a drug rehab. I was just too emotional when I talked to him. With all my problems about my family and my friends and my heart and nobody to really talk to about it, sometimes my tears just fall even when I’m not even thinking about it. And when I told him that, he suggested I go to a psychiatrist because he thinks I’m depressed. Believe me, I’m not! And he doesn’t really know me and how to handle me. I miss CO… at least he knows what to do when I’m like this…
