today i bought 3 pairs of black socks for my dad, some green salad only to find out that lunch is already vegetable overload because of the 2 fresh lumpia rolls that i had to eat, and cheese flavored popcorn that i wasn't able to finish especially since some kernels get stuck between my teeth and that is not funny at all. what is also not funny are my inflamed tonsils and it hurts when i swallow food.
it's been a busy week for me, but i am able to write here and there. our internet connection at home is shit, still. i was promised that they'd get back to me in 2 days upon complaint but i have not heard from customer service since friday.
credit card agents quit calling me already... for now, i think. but i do hope more cards keep coming.
not that im planning to splurge on clothes or anything. i plan to use them for travel. and my dad wants me to open bank accounts to each card's corresponding bank, so im pretty much collecting passbooks right now. this time i spent with my father, it's actually interesting. i asked him things about his life growing up which i normally dont do and i finally understood why he was always working and could not spend so much time at home when i was growing up. his story is complicated, and somehow i can see my father lying to me once or twice while retelling it, but overall, i can say that i dont want to have his life. it's just hard. and some people are harder to deal with.
my grandfather was in the hospital. my aunt brought him there because she saw blood in his urine. i had to visit him at the chinese hospital to see if he was fine. he has already lost most of his good teeth and the man had prostate cancer. another reason i want to collect credit cards is for emergencies like this. hospital bills are out of control and perhaps more painful to both the patient and caretaker/s. i shouldered a part of that bill and it was surprising that my grandmother wanted to return the money next time, but i dont want them to bother anymore, not at all. it's the least of my worries.
while riding a bus, my wife is a gangster was on, ive seen this before, and it was still funny to me. i like how one of the goons told mantis that blood is thicker than water, but loyalty is thicker than blood. true dat. some families do not stick with each other despite biological relations and it's not cute. also saw shaun of the dead because i bought the dvd and it was FANTASTIC. i love british comedy.
ive already set my eyes on this big treadmill i saw at the mall. i need it. i need it. i need it. our cat is due any day now. ive seen her checking out the cabinet where we keep old plush toys. hopefully she really doesn't give birth there or else there's going to be placenta remains all over the stuffed animals. ew. i dont watch american idol anymore because it has turned into the adam lambert show and i dont even like his screechy voice and his OMG-IM-AN-INDIVIDUAL-LIKE-NO-OTHER outfits. seriously, v-neck???! no thanks. i still have to finish watching pushing daisies. i saw a later episode (episode 106: bitches, to be exact) on cable and there he was, joel mchale. what a fine man. sigh..
