my grandmother is staying with me this week. i have no sense of privacy with her. i mean, for the first time in months, i have been DYING to sleep, to eat and to actually not smoke. and here, lo and behold, comes my grandmother giving the "list". yup, the list - things to buy, to do, to carry around, to fix around the house. she hired a contractor to fix the house. she actually let this contractor in while i was in my nudie shorts and undergarmentless state. ayayay! she never really thinks about me, eh. well, what the hell was i thinking sleeping on the couch anyhow? see, here's the thing about me and that couch... that couch is sooo comfy! i'm not giving it up. besides, downstairs is where i wanna be. my room is too cold and unforgiving and tempting. uhm... basta, it's tempting.
anyhow, she also noticed that i haven't been getting any phone calls from the dude i was supposed to be dating. she proposed that i get "kai siao" with other people. okay, people, "kai siao" is chinese for a "weird blind date set-up by well-meaning relatives but it always ends up in a fixed-marriage ceremony". i vehemently said no. does she really think that i'd be up for that? what the hell is on my forehead that everyone wants me to find someone new?
i want to date people CASUALLY. as in i'm not looking for a relationship. there, i said it. so people who actually keep on pushing me, as in you actually text me in the middle of the day (ie: my night) to have dinner with this man, so and so eligible bachelor, he's in law school-slash-he owns his own business-slash-he's definitely good in bed-stop it! i am not RTD. i don't think i will be until i'm 90 and with a lot of cats. not because i'm not over him. it's just because i am just not at all interested yet.
anyhow, going back to my grandma... well, pa couldn't stand being in the same house, so he left for davao this morning. ayos din si papa, may escape plan. mama has to stay with me though, cos i really need maternal support right now, and she has been really understanding throughout. pa wants to buy a house in antipolo, well, essentially for everyone, but mainly it would be most convenient for me. after asking for an earlier shift, i'm going to ask for this transfer. apparently, i can help out in the house payments. and i've always wanted a house there. well, imagine kids running around in my neighborhood! yeesh! mas maganda na sa antipolo kami. i think ma and pa would enjoy the future more in that place. and panalo ang selling point ni papa sa kin. malapit sa church, sa school, may pool clubhouse, may indoor pool and you can park your car. isa lang naman yung concern ko eh. if the hospital is near. uh-huh!
