Parents Revolt!!!

Maybe I've watched too much of The OC and I wish my parents would be like Sandy and Kirsten. Actually, that's how I wanna be when I become a parent. I'll give my kids the the freedom to do their own decisions as they find their identity, but I'll play jedi mind tricks on them, and still guide them to the right path of course. I won't tell them and dictate what to do with their lives. Going out with friends won't be treated as if it's a bad thing.

"Puro ka na lang good time."

What's up with this? Is having too much "good time" bad??? They're telling me I ask too much money. Most of the time, they forget to give me allowance anyway and it's amazing how I survive!!! I asked money one time when I was supposed to be surfing..and we all know what happened with that. But the point is... I'm in college, a few terms left in fact and I'm out...so why shouldn't I savor this time I have with my friends and maximize it?! It's my choice if I wanna be with my friends all the time. I mean, at least they support me in the things I do. My parents don't support this SIGE Prod thing! They don't even have an idea what we do, don't know where Corik's is! I mean, it's could be really big..and I mean BIG but to them, I'm just having too much "good time." Well at least for once, I'm doing something I'm really psyched about. Seriously, I'd rather be with people who believe in me than those who just criticize how big my legs are.

Appreciation

We don't know how to show appreciation. My mom, being the woman she is..expects something that shouldn't be expected. For my 20 years of existence I know for a fact that my family is not like the families we see on TV where they hug, or even say nice things to each other. We just don't!!! But deep down, we know. My mom just bought a treadmill. She expected ME to be excited about it. I was. Really. I mean, finally!!! I can get back to shape. But given the situation that I've been deprived of sleep for 2 nights, I don't have the energy I usually have when it came this morning. Bastos! That's what Muther called me just because I didn't show my excitement. I mean..what the hell was I supposed to do.. "Yehey!! OMG!!! We have a treadmill!!! SHIT!! That's the shit!" She's making it seem like she bought it just for me..but it's really for all of us. She's been complaining with her tummy...and what I tell her to do is jog. Edi magjogging na sha ngayon!!! I didn't force her to buy an expensive treadmill. And to think this thing means we won't have any Christmas gifts whatsoever. That's it. Sometimes, they're just unbelievable. I know they're making money more than ever, now but they're always depriving us of material things. Not that we ask for something all the time. Actually, we don't anymore because we'll end up feeling guilty, or obliged to do something in return. My dad calles it "discipline." They think they're depriving us only of material things...

Dinner

Sunday, night. We just had dinner and my parents are pissed at us, except for Zaza, of course who did nothing but join all those competitions in her school and cook, that brings tears to my parents' eyes. So anyway, there we were. Us kids, listening to our parents as always, as they tell us how spoiled we are and how useless we are. And they're talking with each other. Once in a while, they'd directly talk to me or Ate Erin or Kuya Nono but most of the time, they're just letting us hear their conversation of how disappointed they are of us, and they can't wait for us to have a family soon so we could experience this sacrifice they're doing. I've heard that one before and I didn't wanna hear it for the rest of the night so I left.

Back to the good stuff... First of all, THANK YOU TO PTF--Ernie Sarmiento Division for going to my fundraising!!! Love you guys. Ya heard lotsa new cool indie bands.. Diana Rising is the shit noh?! Shempre, had to make sure Splitcide played. Haha!!! Basta every Saturday meron dun. Join our yahoogroups: sige_prod@yahoogroups.com.

Thursday was Papa's birthday. Everyone was there of course. Before going there, I had school so I came from school. Got to try Wari. Haha. That was fun. If only I have that now, I won't be bummed with my folks so much.

Friday was a spontaneous combustion for me. Aga and I talked about watching Harry Potter, but didn't really took it seriously. So went straight home at 7pm. I was the only one here and had nothing to do so I asked him if we were still watching a movie, still didn't really think we would. I sat in front of the computer, tried to figure out the stickers for the compilation CD..didn't work. Then he YM'd me. We were not in the mood for movie. He suggested that we just chill. Which was a good idea. The driver had to pick up Zaza at 1130 in Makati, so I asked her if she could stay later..she said 1230. I said Makati, but he said GH. Fine with me..just wanted to go out Got there at 1030. Alam nameng mabibitin kame. But took advantage of the time anyway. Drank til we're good. Then he told me he's gonna bring me home since bitin if uuwi agad. Met up the driver at 1245..told him to pick Zaza up. My parents got to the house before Zaza did (they came from Laguna). Bisto ako. My beloved sister covered for me, but they were still mad.

Well..that bonding time with my friend was fun. Haven't spent time with him like that in a long time. We've been planning that since I dunno, so it was good. We got lost, as always..but had a great time. I was scared to see my parents mad but Aga was ready to bail me out..if that was possible. Thank God, when we got here, they were asleep. Whew! Talked for about an hour and he went home. Got to sleep at 330am.

Personally, I don't see what's wrong with staying up late because of that. Well, maybe I should've told them..but the thing is it wasn't planned, and that's the fun part. Heh! I dunno anymore.
