Date: January 23, 2000 Time: 6:10 p.m. Title: I Count the Days Mood: Blah Quote: "Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong." Dandemis Today has been one blah Sunday. My family and I went to Glorietta mall to see Toy Story 2. It was a very good movie; the graphics certainly improved a lot and looked more realistic. It even kind of reminded me of FF8, graphic-wise. Anyway, we're supposed to be at mass by now but I don't think we're going anymore cause my dad's pissed. See he asked me at around 5:40 pm if we were leaving for mass already and then I said, "Now?" cause it was kind of early and I thought we'd be going at seven. Then he started blowing up like I said something terrible like, "Well, I'm not going, I'm a member of a devil worship now." So I go to my room to put my shoes on (I was at the computer doing my Science Project when he asked me) and then he suddenly barged in and started yelling that I could spend hours and hours on the Internet and I couldn't even spend an hour in church. Geez, it was very obvious that I was expecting to leave for mass because I haven't changed out of my clothes yet. And it's not like I said I felt too lazy to go (even though I am, a little). I have no idea where my dad is now; probably went to mass by himself. Parents. I swear, I think they overreact too much. While I'm on the subject of my family, I guess I might as well tell you that my sister is becoming very annoying lately. You're very lucky if you don't have a younger sister anywhere near your age gap cause if you do, well, watch out. She'll act like a major copycat, and it will drive you crazy. See, at the mall, I was checking out these blue Nike sandals that were on sale, and then she grabs it from me and goes, "Hey dad, can you buy me these?" Honestly. She knows that I love Nike to death, did she really have to get the same brand I love, when the Adidas sandals looked just as good? To avoid getting annoyed, I distracted myself by checking out the electric guitars in the shop next door. Then we walk around the mall some more and I tell her that I'm gonna dye my hair blue in the summer and she goes, "Well I'm dying mine purple." For what? It's not like anyone except me is gonna notice it; all she'll do in the summer is sit in front of the TV and watch her anime. Finally, we go to the optical shop to buy fluid for my contact lenses, and my sister points to an ad for colored contacts and she says, "I want those!" She knows that I plan to get either purple or blue contact lenses if I ever get around to saving it! I'll probably look stupid, but so what? Gosh what a copycat. And she and her friends are into Dance Revolution (BTW, the third remix is out) and she has been hogging the dance mat lately. And she's into texting too; thank God my parents won't give her own cellphone, or I'll never hear the end of it. Geez, can't she just stick to anime or whatever it is she and her friends used to do before? Why does she pattern her activities after mine? My only consolation is that she isn't into wide-leg jeans like me but I suppose she will be soon. Depressing. I wish I had an older sister/brother, but then she/he would probably treat me like shit, just like I treat The Brat like shit. I don't know what to do. I found it quite surprising that a lot of my friends come from broken families. Let's see, there's Alex, of course. And then Denilou e-mailed me last night saying that her stepmom is in labor and I'm like, "You've got a stepmom?" Then Dyancel and I were talking about some stuff yesterday and the conversation suddenly went to her family. She was talking about her stepdad and I'm like, "You've got a stepdad?" It was pretty surprising to know that I've got three friends who come from broken families because that isn't common here. You know, Catholic country and everything. We don't have divorce but legal annulment which I think is just the same but different words. All they have to do is hire a good lawyer and prove that they were pyschos when they got married. I think that must be very depressing. I'd probably react the way Alex is. But Dyancel seems to have accepted it already and Denilou too, cause she doesn't seem to be upset about having a baby stepsister (she e-mailed me today, it's a girl). I wish I was as strong as them. I hate it when people keep talking about their crushes. Michelle is becoming annoying a little cause all she talks about is JC, JC, JC! It sucks. Sometimes, when I come to the point where I'm really, really annoyed, I'd go, "Stop it already! Go talk to that trash can about your love life! I don't wanna hear about it anymore!" Actually, I haven't done it yet cause Michelle's my friend and I'm not intentionally mean to my friends unless they do something very, very wrong. I'd say it to any of my crushes though. Yeah, even though I adore my crush to death, I'd murder him if all he did was talk about his crushes. Nah, I wouldn't do that, he's too cute. The most I could do is to tell him to shut up. Even if he doesn't have a crush on me, no way am I gonna suffer silently listening to him drool over his love. Sure, that won't change the way he'd feel about her but hey, at least he won't depress me with stories about her anymore. I can't wait for my birthday. Sure, it's in two months, but still. I plan to take out all my friends to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. I got that idea from Alex (the online version) because she's celebrating her 14th birthday at Planet Hollywood with her friends. Anyway, here's what I want for my birthday: 1. A cellphone, the Nokia 5110. I saw one at the mall that's transparent-white and lights up when you press a button or something. It looks really cute.2. Clothes! Preferably the jeans I saw at the JNCO online store. 3. The Blink182 cd. 4. The Jars of Clay cd. 5. Urban Decay nail polish (not pink). 6. The silver and blue Nike sneakers I saw at the Nike store. 7. The third remix of Dance Revolution. Bootlegs will do. Actually, bootlegs are the only thing they ever sell here, but I don't mind. I think they're just as good as the original ones. 8. A South Park t-shirt. 9. A Tenchi Muyo/Fushigi Yuugi Manga (I will love you forever if you can get me one). 10. An FF8 poster, the cloth kind. I don't play it anymore but I still think Squall and Rinoa are da bomb. ^_^ 11. Evangelion stuff. 12. The metallic blue electric guitar I saw at the mall this afternoon. 13. cK one. 14. Blink182/Hole/Evangelion/Tenchi Muyo posters. 15. A disco ball for my room. 16. The purple Rugrats clock I saw in the mall this afternoon. 17. A boom box. 18. An FF8 cellphone cover. I'm not sure if there's any, but I will be your slave for life if you can get me one! I'm asking for too much, I know. But I'm just being honest with myself. These are the stuff I really, really want. It would be good to get all of them but a few will do. I've ordered enough books from Amazon.com that aren't available here so books are out of my wish list. I haven't been using my Playstation much except for Dance Revolution. I'm too scared to play Clock Tower II at night. I'm already in the third and last part of the game and it's way scarier than the first and second part. I put down my walkthrough this time cause I want to see if I can get out of it alone. I can't wait to show my friends; Stephen would really freak out because monsters would suddenly appear from out of nowhere. Ooh, phone call from Stephen. Gotta go. <<< ~ sign ~ archives ~ >>>
