I have twin nieces, Judith and Katrina, and bless them, they got their mom’s (my sister) hilarious wit.
She posted this on her website:
I overheard this conversation this morning between my twin girls:
Katrina (to Judith, who was snickering): "What’s so funny?"
Judith: " Your face!" (that’s how they try to piss each other off)
Katrina: " Oh yeah? What’s so funny about it? It kinda looks like yours, you know!"
Busy day. But had time to take photos of my dogs.
These 3 creatures never fail to make me smile everyday.

If you are one of those who know me personally and has been telling people how upset you are with a particular post of mine… kindly read this first.
Since I’ve been having weird moments with my Mother lately, I decided to name my posts about her, “Mommy Watch”.
She’s at it again. This time, she became antagonistic with me when I asked her about the 10 cupcakes that she ate the last 2 days. Backgrounder: She’s a diabetic. She got all defensive and said that she didn’t want to waste food by letting it spoil. In the end, she told me to shut up, mind my own business because she bought the cupcakes with her own money. As expected:
1. She reacted violently (yep, she shouted insults at me)
2. It was all about money for her
3. She again, put me down
4. She sarcastically told me to tell my sister (who’s a doctor) about it
So after telling my sisters (they’re in the US), I told my aunt (hoping that she will tell the other relatives about it).
The thing about my mom is that she has this habit of lying to people, at the expense of her kids (believe me, the money incident I had with her in the US is nothing compared to what she has done to my sisters), I’m sure, she’ll come up with stories and lies about me as soon as she’s confronted by my aunts about the cupcakes.
Sad that I’m on the verge of giving up on her because I’m gradually getting paranoid on what she’s capable of doing to me.
My friend called me a few minutes ago to rant about her 14-year old brother, who has been causing her headaches the past few years. I have been kept updated about him, and I remember warning her that he will eventually get to that stage where he is pressured by his peers — spending more time with them, giving in to their suggestions, experimenting on things with them, and the like — thus gradually changing how he is at home.
In the past, he has just been going home late because he would be playing computer games with his friends. This has caused my friend, who is acting as his guardian since their mom is in the US, to feel tensed and stressed, especially since he obviously has not been listening to what she has been saying every time they had one of those talks. Recently, she found cigarette remnants in his bag, a condom in his wallet and reports that he has been asking some people to drink alcohol with him. And when they talked this morning, he came up mixed up answers to every question he asked, and eventually, decided not to go to church with her, breaking a tradition which they have been practicing since they were kids.
My friend, naturally, is heart broken.
Since I am not one to know how it is to have a teenager at home, only gave her things to ponder on based on a) what I know about the transition of tweens to teens and b) how I was when I was at that age. In the end, I gave her an advice that she might consider eventually — to ask their mom to come home (since she has retired from work already and is done with her responsibilities abroad), even for a short period, to take over. I know this may have crushed her pride, but as what I told her, given that she is a career driven, single 31-year old, who still has the entire world to explore, rearing a teenager is too big of a task for her, and as she herself admitted, she is not ready to face that — thus resulting to having a breakdown due to the huge baggage she is carrying.
And worse, God forbid, failing to raise her brother the right way.
At her age, this is all too much to handle. Especially if we’re talking about a kid who only sees her as a sister, a confidante, a best friend…and not someone who should be feared.
I want to rant. I want to scream.
NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MONEY!!!!!!!!!
Ok, trying to find a way to let off some steam. This ain’t working.
This is one post that I struggled to write as this is something very personal. But a few hours ago, I had the biggest disappointment in my life when someone dear to me lied to me about… of all things… money. She said things to my sisters that were the total opposite of what she has told me, in the process, making me look bad. And when she heard me clarifying to everyone, she started screaming at me, denying that she told me stuff. She then said so many things, even threatening to do stuff to me, in front of my sisters and their families!
The sad part? This person is my mother. The nerve to look at me straight in the eyes and then lie to her teeth! My own flesh and blood.
This is one of those moments that I wish I had cigarettes with me.
and I heard that John is in Fairfield, CN. So close… Hmmm I’ll be going to NYC on Tuesday, hope he’s back home.
Fine fine, nothing eventful yet in this trip of mine, but will definitely post the photos I took soon.
This will be, by far, the best ever topic that i will write about in my blog site.
i treated my cousins to a weekend here at the Manila Diamond Hotel, and now i have no idea why i actually agreed to do this.
why?
- one cousin is here and she is using her best “valley girl” talk while on the phone inviting a friend to come over. the thing is, the “valley girl” talk was serious. geez. i’m irritated. fyi, she’ 25.
- another cousin advised me that he’ll be here at 11pm. wow. hey dude, i’m a 32 year old who heeds the call of her bed at 9pm.
- the other cousin is on her way here WITH THE BOYFRIEND.
and i spent $300 for this?
I love music.
