Yesterday, I got to help in the store the whole day. My sister got a stomachache, which was caused most probably by eating shellfish the other day. No, she wasnt with us. She was with her bf and his friends. Also, the secretary was absent since she had a check-up so as a dutiful daughter, kuno, I have to help. I went back in the afternoon and good thing that the secretary came already. There were lots of people so I helped a bit and was expecting to go home early but time flew so fast that before I knew it, it was closing time.
From the many baby fishes of my convict, I can only save 5. I didnt know that at a certain age, the parents would eat them. Actually, the parents are pregnant again and thought their own children are enemies. I saved a baby from the other pair and put it with the 5. It was like a case of from the frying pan into the fire. The baby was eaten. @_@; Okay, thats a new lesson. I learned that even if they seemed small, they can stuff their mouths even if they seemed quite big like blood worms. The lulupei babies are still lots. They seem to grow slower. Convicts are quite greedy like goldfish.
Last night, my thesismate called. I asked some suggestions for whiner and hers is to get whiner to Robert Powers to train in getting a better personality. Hehehe We talked about possible business ventures. She likes to do business but so far, all the possible businesses are not quite good especially either the market is saturated or there is no market for it. The economy is also not doing quite well and it would be hard to start a business.
Beware..Rant
Today, I was reminded of the High School year book which I paid and never received. It is a good lesson for gullible people like me. The batch officers were mostly from my class. The theory was that since they have high IQ, they would be more responsible. And it proved that they werent. From the rumors, the treasure lost the money that was paid and the information of all the students in Hong Kong. He was there for vacation and planning to do it there. He left everything at some hotel. One summer after, I did saw some layout of it. He and the president seemed to have quarreled about the layout.
Years later, the treasurer who seemed to have been left with the responsibility since the other officers were too busy with school work, was asking for info about people in each classrooms but of course, we forgot already like what was the class like, etc. Then, the issue was dropped and the officers moved on with their lives. Sometimes, I did think that 500 bucks has more worth than today. They never refund it nor offer any good explanation so I just invent my own version.
The treasurer could have used the money to buy his HK ticket and go on a shopping spree. The rest was used by the officers to party and laugh at their gullible classmates who paid them.
Tatsumi: Which included you. . .
Yes. So, none of them would want to organize anything called a reunion or else, the gullible classmates might want to ask them for a refund or produce the yearbook which would be quite costly if it was made today. I think they would make good politicians.hehehe Whew..got that out of my system.
About layout, I got the picture from a gallery but I forgot the name of the series. ^^; The background was from webshots. This is made in Paintshop pro by tinkering around. The font wasnft quite nice but I got a bit lazy. Hehehe I just base the color from there so everything is blue. ^-^;;
Sunday, February 16, 2003 @ 08:19 p.m.
This month must be reunion month. ^^;; Yesterday, we had dinner with relatives since my uncle from US arrived. It was suppose to start at 630pm. We arrived at 645pm and only rich aunt and her husband were there. The others arrived at 745pm. Well, as usual Filipino time. We were a bit irritated since the one who told us to be there early was also among the late.
At first, it was suppose to be share-the-payment [kkb]and even misheard that it was P5,000 each which scared of the others. My nicey uncle wondered what kind of food will be eaten at P5000 each. After eating, rich aunt decided to treat us all. They said that it was too cheap at P11,000. ^^;; I guess if people are used to pricey food, it seemed cheap since they are not used to it.
Today, my hyper aunt wanted to go out with whiner aunt and invited us along. It was another seafood restaurant. Since it was a bit late, the restaurant let us in a karaoke room. Whiner aunt likes to sing so most of the time, she is singing and well, she sometimes kept on picking songs on the song list when the songs she chose is playing. ^^; In short, she wasn't singing. We had lots of laugh here since hyper aunt tend to be frank and loud and make candid remarks. I am full with laughter than the food so Tsuzuki and Luffy are happy since I didn't get eat much.
Luffy: Let's do it again!
And somehow he convinced them since they enjoyed it too much that they scheduled next Sunday for another karaoke and everyone have to sing or else, pay the food. ^^;; They invited more relatives to fill up the table for 14. Next Saturday, we also get to eat together since it is hyper aunt's birthday celebration.
With such different personalities, I sometimes find myself being a behaviorist and would say to myself, "very interesting" whenever something amusing would happen. Maybe make a chart to predict each one's behaviornot. So, I'm amused with the Korean drama/comedy, "Gender Wars" which I stumbled upon a few months ago. It is about a huge family with different personalities with different problems. It is a welcome change from the typical drama soaps.
The story is more on the family and the writer puts them into different funny situations which can happen in real life. I got to understand because it is in Arirang - yay, English subs. The cast are really good. The grandparents have a love-hate relationship and lately, the grandma thought that the grandpa had a relationship with a woman in the teahouse since he frequent there with his friends. They have three children - two sons and a daughter. The oldest son is the typical obedient son who always patch up things with his parents while his wife is a typical housewife. They have four children - 3 daughters and 1 son.
Eldest daughter wanted to be a single forever much to her parent's dismay but she had a stalker whom she somewhat likes. It seemed she feared being committed. The second daughter wanted to get married already but somehow always ended up with not so good ones. The latest one was a crybaby and his parents didn't like her since she was a bit old. She was already in her 30s. The youngest daughter is a bit of a flirt and had an 'under' boyfriend though they just got engaged. The youngest son have problems at school His quote from the last episode was, "Many people are studying and went insane because of it but it won't happen to me because I'm stupid." ^-^
The uncle [second son] tend to be a workaholic and had a wife who likes to recite poems and gossip with her friends. She also like to wear Western clothes complete with hats. Their son is currently working abroad while his wife who was from the province, tend to imitate her mother-in-law, much to the son's dismay. Hehehe The aunt [youngest daughter] was a bit fat and she married a doctor. In the first episodes, she struggled with her depression over not being able to give birth but a miracle had happened since someone had put a baby on their doorsteps. They adopted him.
Speaking of tv dramas, I wonder if it is a trend for different nationalities to guest in Japanese dramas lately. First, it was a Taiwanese actor, Takeshi Kaneshiro, though he was half-Japanese. Now, it was a Korean. I don't know his name but he was a bsho though he have this kind of playboy look. The title is Friends. He asked a Japanese girl to model for his film and somehow they fell in love but the people who loved the two tried to separate them. The girl really loved the guy that she is willing to go to Korea just to confess her love to him and was actually the first to say it. 'Catch him before he gets away' seemed to be her motto. ^-^
I just downloaded Soramimi Cake. It is the opening song for Arumanga Daioh. It is quite addictive after hearing it many times. ^^;; A very hyper song - cute and crazy hehehe kinda like the series. I actually listened to it more than Yume no Tamago. Yup, I did found it but it is a shorter version that the original link.
Friday, February 14, 2003 @ 03:50 p.m.
It is already Valentine's Day...so what. ^^;; Anyway, whiner haven't called and speaking of her, I totally forgot to ask her if she got the text on matchmaking that my cousin was organizing.
I forgot to mention also that I watched BlackJack the movie on wowow last Saturday. This is an old anime already or rather the manga, which it was based from, was so old. I forgot the first time I had seen the anime on him then researched a bit. I saw him again in the movie from the same author about a phoenix - super kids and etc where he guest. Anyway, back to the movie, I like it even though I do not quite understand what they are saying. It is basically solving the case of 'something' must be a bacteria which temporarily makes a person super human but later on, would perspire too much, spit blood, become weak and thin then dies, in that order. He solved it at the end. Astroboy and 'the princess who pretend to become a prince' [don't know the title] was also there as puzzles for the little girl who was with BJ always. I would have recorded this if I had my vcr.
I did like medicine at a time or even now, just not into the gross parts like inserting tubes, surgery and stuff. I tend to read medical books about diseases since I always got sick so I want to learn more about what was afflicting me. Unfortunately, I tend to think that I have the other diseases that I don't actually have. ^^;
Tsuzuki: Too much imagination.
The other day in Azumanga Daioh, glasses girl was sick and all of them went to an amusement park. The hyper girl loves to tease her so she kept on calling glasses girl about how much fun they are having. Ah, those lovely pop veins. When she returned to school, they gave her a gift. A mug which hyper girl had printed with a picture of them having fun at the amusement park - riding on a roller coaster. Glasses girl lost it and beat the crap out of hyper girl. Hehehe The real gift was a small paper holder with a cute cat in it that has snow. Kawaii. Then, they played snowballs and well, glasses girl got sick again.
Somehow, this reminded me of my high school days. They are all having fun and I'm always sick in bed. Then, they rave about it and I can just stupidly smile since I wasn't with them.
Valentine topic: Yesterday in the news, according to the survey, Filipinos would rather choose brains to beauty in choosing mates. Interesting. It just confirms the theory of Scott Adams [ The Dilbert Future]. He said that computer-using men will be the sexiest males. Okay, not exactly right but using the computer as in tinkering with stuff does need brains, right? Actually, before I thought of either having a doctor or a computer genius for a mate. Hehehe But then, I still have some concerns regarding looks. He must look okay even though not really 'bsho'. I don't want to hide him in my closet or when we go out, put a paper bag on either one of our heads. ^-^ Unfortunately, most of those guys are either taken or doesn't like me or well, the female species.
That is only applicable for real life situations. Of course, in terms of anime/manga and other forms of media, that would change. It would be looks, attitude, character and well, if they click. There is just no standard. So, that's one of the reasons why I actually watched BJ even though I didn't understand much. His voice is really nice. hehehe
Tuesday, February 11, 2003 @ 05:03 p.m.
While eating lunch and intermission from cleaning aquarium, guess who called?
Luffy: Hehehehe...in that tone, who else could it be?
Yup, you're right. It is Ms. Whiner. She asked what I was doing. I said eating. Well, she doesn't care about that since her usual problems need immediately consoling. So, I ate while listening or well, partially listening. hehehe She was in a murmur so I cannot quite understand what she was saying. It is because the one whom she is talking about was there, her 'ah-so'[sister-in-law].
Start of conversation.
She: Do you know why I called?
Me: *sighs* Most probably...
She: Guess why?
Me: Duh? Most probably a problem. Sorry, I am in no mood to guess and I don't have a crsytal ball.
She: Well, it isn't about wanting to have husband, etc.
Me: Ah, so it is the ah-so.
She: Yup.
Then, she starts yapping that she is jealous of her, etc but why for her friend who is like her ah-so, she isn't jealous. I suddenly thought of my socpsyche on this that if the person is a peer, it is okay but it is someone else, you would be jealous. I didn't say anymore since she is still in whine mode. She asked me for the nth time, what to do.
I told her that she should hurry and find herself a boyfriend already to move out of her house already. Her parents 'mistreat' her. She is insanely jealous of her ah-so and if there wasn't karma, she would have done something to her ah-so. Her older sister is already married and have problems of her own. Her younger sister is working and cannot be with her. Her brother tend to side with ah-so.
She just said, I want ah-so to leave. I sweatdropped like is that possible unless her brother got re-assigned to a foreign country but that is unlikely to happen. She only stopped since she had to go collect some bills. Later in the afternoon, she called again, asking the same thing on what to do with her ah-so. She is already entertaining thoughts on getting back at her ah-so by doing something to her nephew. ^^;; Then, she wanted to ask for some ringtones since she is bored. That is her only hobby, she said. Unfortunately, for her, I'm not into ringtones much. She sensed that I'm not quite listening to her so she hanged up.
An almost slip-up happened. When I was not on the ear piece since she was busy whining, sis shouted that I was mean. I gave her the look since whiner might notice. ^^; It seemed she didn't but I wasn't sure. I'm becoming a bit rude to her already. I tried to give her advice and suggestions but she closes her ears on them. It is a bit frustrating. The way she handles her problem is more on wishing them away. Ah yes, Valentine's Day -her dreaded day- is near so she might call again.
Hehehe, if someone else reads this, they might think I'm quite mean. Anyway, if you know someone who knows how to help her or might want to introduce her to someone, just email me. ^-^

Last Saturday, I went to buy some German guppy to accompany my Rams though they aren't exactly compatible. The ones that are compatible like tetras tend to die easily and they are quite expensive. The ones that did survive are in my large tank which is already full of fishes which are not suited to the small ones, either because the water is not suitable or I didn't choose them well. ^^;;
Yesterday, I got a small discus from my cousin, the one I talked about before who breeds them. This one is red sapphire, according to him though I think it was blue since it is blue. ^^;; Or maybe a result of cross-breeding. Anyway, it was pretty but it was hiding along with the other one. I hope it would get used to flakes since the fish was only fed worms and beef heart before.
In the mall-Big R [Marikina], I had two observations. There are many kids who are wearing rubber shoes with roller skates and there are many kids which made me think, there is really a population explosion. There was also this guard whose main job, I think, was to keep the kids from playing with the walkalator [ the flat escalator which I was at airports] ^^; I also had a minor violent streak yesterday especially when that girl bumped the shopping cart at me. I tend to be a bit cautious lately since the other day, when I ran a bit, trying to catch the elevator, my right shin felt weak and as if it is going to break. And that image in Asher's Real 2 volume isn't flashing through my head. The main character thought his foot had broken and it was a bloody mess.
I also bought some pc cds. Good thing that my brother was there at his shop. The store beside his was selling cds and he knows them. One of the things that my brother and sister have that I don't - P.R. [personal relations] and charisma. ^^; I got a discount on them and extra discount for buying many things. I didn't know the Flash tutorial had 6 discs. I also bought Photoshop tutorial and other programs. In a whim, I also bought Final Fantasy multimedia-type cd. hehehe
Today, I finished the 1st disc of Wild Arms 2. The story so far is about Ashley who was possessed by a demon which tried to conquer the world before, teaming up with Brad, ex-prisoner who was a hero in a war, Lilka, a sorceresses whose sister was trapped in a dimension Tim, who can communicate with guardians, and Kanon a bounty hunter are trying to stop a mad man, Vinsfield and his group from couquering the world. After disc 1, it seemed that something esle is causing the increase of monsters. Ashley got lost in a dimension as the others are trying to locate him. I got stuck in a puzzle. ^^;; So far, the story is okay and the puzzles needs some brainwork.
Zoro: And your brain is a bit rusty.
Hehehe.... I also baked some fruit tarts. The crust is okay now unlike before which was burnt and became a bit hard because of too much handling. The new custard I tried out is okay but sis said it isn't the same as in the bakery. I have yet to discover that recipe. I made this dessert because we got strawberries. So, I decorate the tarts with strawberries and some fruits from fruit cocktail. hehehe It took me quite a long time there since I try to make the designs different. According to Tsuzuki, they taste okay and it has been two hours after he ate it, so far, he didn't went to the bathroom.
Tsuzuki: Or else, I would had you toast by Suzaku
^^;; By the way, I had remove the comment box since it still won't work. So if you want comment something or just say hello, just email me.
Thursday, February 6, 2003 @ 09:40 p.m.
I would have to fix the commentary box since it STILL won't work. I added some info about me already. I have been playing PSX more lately since the house is being re-painted. The fumes are quite strong and I became lazy.
Tats: You are just plain lazy. Don't blame the fumes.
Anyway, I like this manga lately,The way this boy lives It is funny and it is the first Korean manga or manhwa that I read. I also saw some pretty pictures from the Korean RPG, Magna Carta and War of Genesis. It was really nice. It is like Final Fantasy. If there is an English version of it, it would be a good buy. ^-^
Tuesday, February 4, 2003 @ 05:35 p.m.
The commentary box seemed to be defective. I tried clicking it at IE but it won't work. In Opera, it won't update. ^^;; I think it would be silly if I wrote on it to test it. In the end, I might just remove it. I haven't put any info about me here yet so maybe an email add will suffice. I'll try to get it up by this week.
Last night, I slept late because I was watching a documentary about the poor who live in very poor conditions. The ones discussed are the ones who lived under the bridge, at the corner of a street, in a floating house made of styrofoam and wood [ it is floating on a polluted river], and inside a rusty train which will be scrapped. It just discussed the situation without showing a solution. I think this would make a good assignment for behasci students, if I were a teacher. hehehe
I just noticed two things with my fishes. Bad news is that one is sick with pop eye. Good news is that some fishes are having babies. One of them is my brother's. I now have a case of incest. ^^;; I will try my best to keep them alive. *v-sign*
Just finished writing a Yami no Matsuei summary [dialogue form] for Cynthia's site. I will post the link later on, too. Too much procrastinating.
Monday, February 3, 2003 @ 04:53 p.m.
I went out with Asher last Saturday. We ate lunch at my house then watched some anime. Later on, we went to Rockwell mall which is also known as the Power Plant. We walked around then she went home. I went to Greenhills but it was a bit late so I didn't get to buy the cds that I want. A bit tired but not sleepy.
Yesterday, we went to a family reunion. As usual, my mother was tasked to buy the food while the others get to bring their own dish. One of my uncles wanted to show some old pictures so I and my cousins were tasked to organized them. After we ate, they showed the pictures. Then, came the fun part, the grandstanding speeches. ^-^ It is basically what most politicians do here. Anyway, it ended as soon as someone said to sing karaoke. By then, some wanted to go home already. In the end, my family got to clean up the rest of the mess since everyone left. So, guess who gets the nice leftovers - imported chocolates?
Luffy:*eats a chocolate* And guess who doesn't benefit because she doesn't eat chocolates?
*raises hand* Anyway, I had learned that the brother of genius cousin, the one I mentioned before, was breeding discus, a kind of fish which is very expensive. I used to think of making that kind of business as extra income. Somehow, the ones I have are a bit malnourished and doesn't breed. I guess they have the wrong conditions.
I watched Shaolin Soccer in dvd which was fun to watch especially the special effects. I find it troubling that I laughed while this poor guy was being beaten. Anyway, it was fun at first but when it kept repeating, I think I'm sick in the head. They did a bit of karaoke. I thought it was a bit funny but their audience didn't like it because the lyrics sucked. Anyway, it was very entertaining. There are some of gross scenes which are usually present in Stephen Chow's movies but overall, it was good.
I also watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding. For me, it is just ordinary movie with some nice quotes. It doesn't tingle any romantic mood on me. Maybe I'm not in the mood. ^^;;
Today, cooked some watery pumpkin soup. I still wasn't able to perfect the texture which is the same in hotels but it was edible. Then, played PSX and surf the net for the ending song of Rahxephon - Yume no Tamago. I ought to kick myself for not downloading that mp3 completely before.
Sanji:*kicks my butt* There you go!
OUch! Stupid me, the songs are already changed and I cannot find it anymore. I did found a ram of it but I have to always connect on the net to listen to it. Sigh. Another lesson...
Friday, January 31, 2003 @ 08:46 p.m.
Hahaha, I have a hunch about what will happen in Count Cain - manga by Yuki Kaori of Angel Sanctuary fame. And it did happened from the latest summary that I read from the ml. It felt good. ^-^ It is like what happened for Card Captor Sakura. I just thought of the best way to torture mentally, a character -- being 'betrayed' by someone close. It is a bit like what happened in Angel Sanctuary. Hopefully, what will happen next will be as delightful. *evil laugh* I feel so happy, that I want to sing
Tatsumi: Hey, it will rain!
I had finished watching Rahxephon the other day. It was a great anime, I like it. Even though some people did called it a clone of EVA, I liked this one better. Well, since I'm not really into EVA. I would have to watch it again, to get some details straight. It was only now when I realized that I do not have two episodes. ^^; I was looking at spoilers and they mentioned an event which I don't seem to have seen. That is what I get for being the type to just put in the next cd and thought what had happened is part of the way the story is being told. ^^;; I didn't noticed it. hehehe Baka....
Tonight will be Chinese New Year. Chinatown/Ongpin is quite crowded from the television. I wanted to go there and join in the fun but then, I'm a bit lazy. ^^;; I don't like too crowded places anyway.
Tomorrow, I will be getting a haircut. If only coloring doesn't ruin the hair, I would have done it again. Ah, the day when I was so crazy about WeiB Kruez's Aya, that I decided to got my hair colored red with Japanese-style haircut. When I went home, my father thought that I have some loose bolts in the head and wanted to be a Japanese. ^^;;
Aya: Weirdo, even tried to find an earring like mine.
Shut up, don't reveal too much.
Zoro: And crazy about katanas. Don't get too close with me or I'll slash you.
^^;; Lucky for you to got them for free. Katana is way too expensive unless Asher would give me one, a real one from Japan. *hint-hint* Anyway, I'm in a lazy and procrastination mood lately. I haven't been doing what I planned to do. Yawn, just want to watch something, surf the internet or just play PSX.
Monday, January 27, 2003 @ 08:10 p.m.
I was editing pictures for my webpage when I was abruptly interrupted by a windows error message. ^^;; I guess that means that I should already stop being on the computer. I have been facing it since late morning.
In the morning, I was answering emails. In the afternoon, I had been downloading some manga scans and surfing at the same time. Also, I sent a few e-cards. Before I knew it, it was night. Since I wanted to do something a bit productive, so I started editing the pictures and re-did some.
I would have to search for some tutorial cds which my cousin told me about on photoshop and flash rather than read books. He will try to find if he still has a book on html. When I told him I'm learning how to html, he seemed to imply that it was very easy and what's my problem. ^^;; Also with his sibling, who got married last December. They are one of those geniuses in the family. They usually self-taught themselves on computer stuff and then, get themselves a job on it, usually a high paying one, too. They originally studied engineering.
The other day, my sister told me that I had a similarity with Luffy of One Piece. I was a bit surprised and asked what. She told me that I eat like Luffy. Not the quantity but how we eat. I looked at some manga scans. Yup, the same. ^^;; Shove the food in our mouth that our cheeks are quite round then swallow.
Luffy: I'm flattered. You also eat like a pig.
^^;; I do not know if I'm happy to learn that or not.
Sunday, January 26, 2003 @ 06:59 p.m.
I went to Rockwell mall yesterday with my sister, her boyfriend and my niece. We walked around while sis' bf went to meet with his group mates. We went to the arcades since my niece loved playing the games there. It also shows that she is good, she won 13 tickets.
Vash: And you, who-didn't-even-last-5-minutes-in-a-game?
None. Wah! I played two shoot-em games and a driving game. Geez, I suck since it was the first time I played them and while I was trying to learn how, I'm already dead/lost the race. ^^;; Anyway, the new one there is an Initial D game. The cg looked nice and you can save your game so you can continue with whoever character you cannot defeat. From the time we were there to the time we left, someone is on the seat. I'm not sure if they are playing two players. I also got to envy some people who played the drum game. They are so good.
We then ate at a Japanese restaurant. I'm been thinking if they put msg in the food since after I got home, I'm feeling thirsty. It also happened to the other Japanese restaurant I went to. It didn't happen before. Then, we went grocery a bit and went home quite late.
Today, I just looked at the fishes and played PSX- Wild Arms 2. A bit sleepy and lazy. ^^;;
PS. For those who don't know who whiner is, whiner is my classmate in college whom I helped with her frustrations and jealousy over her thesismate. Aside from that, when she is alone, she becomes a leech to me and drops me off when she didn't need my company anymore. I thought my days with her are over after graduation but I was dead wrong.
She started calling me up and whining about not having a corporate job and a boyfriend which she wanted since elementary. No matter what I say as advice or to cheer her up won't work. She had many reasons why it doesn't work or she just let what I told her pass through her ears and whine all over again. So, why do I bear with her? Aside from I do not want to feel guilty of just not caring for her, I could at least, well, maybe could help her even if yes, I would be just her outlet for her frustrations. That's what I get for being nice. ^^;;
Tatsumi: You're just stupidly nice.
I know....
Friday, January 24, 2003 @ 02:13 p.m.
Yesterday, I spent the whole afternoon reading about html. I was a bit confused and frustrated but I did learn some things. I think I should buy a book on it for more examples and more reference.
Chicken dish last night was chicken in oil. That is what was written in the book. It is more like fried chicken marinated in soy sauce. It didn't look nice as the one in the book as usual. I just need to practice more and be as good as Sanji. ^-^
Last night, I watched the first 5 episodes of Rahxephon. It was good and I can more or less, consider it a good investment. The same goes for One Piece. ^-^ Both are quite a risk since I do not know if the ending of Rahxephon is good and that OP is very long.
I have to re-type this entry because something went wrong in the other one. And since I just got of the phone from whiner, I might as well, rant about her. At first, it was okay. She was now complaining about her mother's reaction who called her trash and lectured her on how to act since she just told her mother her opinion on whether to make her sister and asthmatic baby stay with them. Her mother doesn't agree since the sister had already married off and it is not appropriate to stay with them or else, the in-laws would be angry. It is an old Chinese tradition, after the daughter is married off, the parents would not mess with her and her new family's affairs.
In my personal opinion, I think that her mother should have helped but shouldn't have shouted at her like that but I was thinking that her mother kind of doubted her decision so she shouted her frustrations at whiner. Anyway, she kept on repeating this and it is as if it is beginning to affect me. ^^;; Not good. Then, she have to say, sorry I always call to you about my problems, bear with me and all that usual blah. I suddenly flared up. I tried to stop myself from saying, "Hey, you only called when you have problems and don't you think that you are just using me as a sound board to release your frustrations. Don't call often or one of these days, I might lose it!"
I think I really need a vacation from her. She has been calling more frequently these days ever since she caught me answering the phone. I somewhat understood why her siblings are fed up with her constant whining. The problem with her is no matter what I advise or tell her since she asked for it, she doesn't listen and kept repeating her problems even the very petty ones. What a waste of my saliva.
Tatsumi: Hehehe, you fell for it.
^^;; Ya. Well, my parents and sister told me just bear with it and just listen since I'm the only one who would listen to her. Let's just say it is more on pity these days and who knows, her life would make a nice story. Okay, I calmed down a bit. ^-^
Thursday, January 23, 2003 @ 11:14 a.m.
Hehehe...still experimenting with the look and what the html tags do. ^^; I think it would take time for the layout to be better looking.
This morning, a fish had passed away. It was one of the new ones I bought. It was fine yesterday. Also 3 shrimps had committed suicide. They are also new ones. Sigh. I still have lots to learn about taking care of fishes. Anyway, some fishes are giving birth already so let's see if the babies will survive because mostly don't. ^^;; Even if they do survive, I don't know what to do to them if they become too many. I am still hesitant to part from my fishes.
This afternoon, I might try to read more about html. I would have to cook dinner tonight - a chicken dish. I'm still thinking what to do with it.
