[#21] Things I Learned Today...
Jan. 11th, 2008 11:08 pm...Goes to show you that you really can learn new things, no matter how old you are.
i. Family troubles in the Philippines aren't good. We own a business in whatever town my family lives in - my dad's side, anyway. And while my dad is the oldest and should've taken over when my grandfather died, we live in the US so his brother took over. Unfortunately, said brother (and said brother's wife) are apparently stingy and won't give the youngest brother (and us really) any of the money that we're getting from this business. >.> And they only give it if someone's sick. My grandmother, who's been there for three months because she wanted to fix something, has apparently done nothing and apparently favors the brother who's handling the business. And my mom told me we gave them like 10,000 dollars to help out. >.> I didn't even KNOW we had that amount of frigging money. Geez, mom. Way to keep secrets.
ii. I have gotten to the point where I saw the second Kurosagi trailer over here and I completely squeaked when I heard Taiyou no Namida. Am I lame? Yes. Very. Why are you people friends with me again? >.> BUT GUYS. "GIRA GIRA TAIYOUUUU Kono sore dokoka de~" I LOVE THIS SONG. I've had it on repeat for god knows how long. :D
iii. My dad was disappointed when he saw that I only had Japanese songs on my iPod when I went into the dentist and left my iPod (EEEEEEEEEE, VIDEO. But I'll get to that later.) with them. I told him, quite helpfully, "No, dad. Only half is Japanese!" (Truthfully, probably 2/3rds is Japanese. Whoops.)
iv. I have apparently never been thought the proper way to brush my teeth - I do okay, but ... >.> Apparently my old dentist as a kid sucked if I was not properly taught this. ~_~
v. My parents are strange.
( Cut because maybe this is tmi. Maybe. Bowel movements? )
vi. I am wordy. This isn't news to anyone, but I realized that if I can be so wordy in my everyday life when I do shit - what'll happen when I talk about something I love? >.>
vii. I am going to a 50-year-old birthday party tmr. I was napping because I'd only gotten 4 hours of sleep last night (we went to the dentist early and my mom purposely told me we were leaving an hour before we were - what a meanie. I'm not the sister who can't get ready in time. That's the other two, thnx. plz to not mix us up. Mixing up names is one thing). And she bursts into the room and shouts, "Angelie!" I like practically flail in my blankets and shoot up and articulately go, "ngh?" My mom, who's still on the phone mind you, goes "You're going to the party tmr!" then promptly walks out. My first reaction is to go, "HUH?!" Then I feel exhausted so I go, "forget it. Tell me when I'm awake," and promptly go to bed.
viii. I may get to wear the silver dress I was supposed to wear in California: this dress. I hope so. I have kick-ass shoes that I bought to go with them (the heel's crazy high though). But I'm worried it's too fancy for it. It's supposed to be semi-formal and I'm not sure this goes.
ix. There really isn't a 9.
...Oh wait! I got to put in videos into my new shiny iPod. And I put in about 6 things - I died laughing watching NewS on Utaban (the one with the Billionaire game + electricity + sole of foot - I want them back on Utaban. Just saying). And watching them on Music Fighter - "man-woman relations". *dies in her laughter* Oh Koyama. <3333 The wonders of that man.
x. I just wanted to end in a good number. Woot? (I guess I learned I need to finish more shit instead of starting it.)
WIP Meme:
( I TOLD MYSELF NOT TO DO THIS. T.T Why oh why do I do this to myself. Like this entry wasn't frigging long enough. 12 WIPs - less than expected but mainly because I took out some. There be het under here, but all the way at the bottom because I'm nice. )
Fuck. This entry's too long. T.T I'm going to head off. My mom's being all a;lskdjfalskjdflkj. >.>
