yesterday was a slow day…as usual we started the day late…ended up going to the seaside with miss b for some girly time away from my family…
turns out i needed that too…
anyway, we had a walk along the beach and tried to get some clarity with things going on…we had a big meal afterwards….i don’t know why but i seem to be a magnet for the weird and the old…we were very surprised when some old weird guy came up to me and said “how ya doin love?”…we were very stunned as we tried to suppress our laughter…first it was the aboriginal guy on new years eve 2000, then it was the old guy from cafe paesano who said “ciao bebe”…and then this, a weird old guy from mamma carmela’s…dear oh dear! the people i seem to attract…
moving on, to cap the night off…we had some ice cream from royal copenhagen…while we were lining up…i seem to be thinking about something else…miss b ordered a choc chip ice cream in a waffle cone with chocolate and nuts stuck on to the waffle cone, when they got to me…i started ordering a white chocolate ice cream…then they asked me what kind of cone…so i said, the waffle one, and then they asked me which one…from that moment, my brain froze and as if somebody earased words from my brain…those words were very crucial at that point…so as i try to say what cone i preffered, i struggled to express myself so i started pointing and uttering the words…thousands and hundreds…then as if by magic i suddenly remembered what i needed to say…i was supposed to say hundreds and thousands! we started laughing…it was hilarious…so stupid and so scatter brain like…
i can probably think of a couple more scatter brain moments, but this one turns out to be a classic!

yesterday was a busy day…i had to run all around town to do stuff…the problem is, we start the day off late and then when we decide to finally do things they (the shops) are already closing…well, that’s adelaide for you…
anyway, to end the day…i had to take david to a LAN party called VALHALLA somewhere in woodville…beacuse he didn’t have enough hands on him, i had to help…as i was walking in, holding his beloved monitor, i felt like i was in planet freak…i mean those people were probably nice and lead a normal life right?!?!…but i really felt like the aliens have landed…so, when i was walking, and looking and, thinking at the same time, that i was really out of my element there…you’d have to be a different kind of human breed to fit in and feel at home…it was very anti-social and just plain boring to me…i do not understand how someone can’t talk to another person and play computer games for almost 24 hours…i do not see the point cause you can play online games and be very comfortable at home…i swear the name “VALHALLA” was derived from the filipino words “bahala ka” which means “it’s up to you”….cause it just felt like it’s up to you whatever you want to do as long as you pay $20.00…
so yeah, i don’t want to be judgemental but i guess i had…but i just can’t help thinking that way…you’d do too!…so i guess in a very filo fashion…bahala ka na lang kung ano na…

i hate it when i have to stay up late and wait and worry for people…i hate the fact that i’m only a phonecall away and i’m not being notified of someone’s whereabouts…
anyway…aside from that, i had a good night…went out with my dear friend, my ADHD brother, and serena…we went around town and finally ending the night with a filling meal…as i haven’t got any moolah, it was courtesy of miss b…i owe her a lot of dinners i tells yah!
while we were out doing some girly stuff…someone was having his happy hour and seemed to have been drinking too much…hehehhe…he’s gonna have a rough one tomorrow…
REVENGE IS SWEET INDEED!

In my daughter’s eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter’s eyes
In my daughter’s eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter’s eyes
And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It’s hangin’ on when your heart
has had enough
It’s giving more when you feel like giving up
I’ve seen the light
It’s in my daugter’s eyes
In my daughter’s eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she’ll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I’m gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I’ll be there
In my daughter’s eyes
i love this song…it says excatly how i feel about serena…

it’s funny how just littlle things can totally ruin your day…it’s funny how little or no salt at all can ruin your entire meal…it’s funny how one little swimmer can change the course of your life…may that be good or bad is completely determined on the day you are having…it’s funny how one silly little argument can just blow up…it’s funny how one minute of silence can amount to a whole lot…
it’s funny how things work…i’m still yet to find out…

today was a day full of hope…i hope that serena gets better…i hope that i will finally get over what kept me sick last week…i hope that our internet connection gets better…i hope that our phone is finally crackle free…i hope that my dear friend will meet someone nice tonight…
i hope that everything goes fine today…
well…surprise, surprise! everything that i hoped for became real…serena got better…i feel better…our internet connection seems to have returned…and believe it or not somebody came to check on our phonelines…”courtesy call” from telstra indeed!…still have to hear details from my dear friend…
so, to top it all off today…we were treated to a night at the theatre…no, we didn’t watch a play…we saw my little brother perform with his choir posse…it was really good apart from what they were singing…everybody knows that i cringe at any gospel songs…well, needless to say that’s what they sang…we were all there, even serena…she got scared at first when the lights went out…but as soon as they started singing she seemed to have forgotten that she was scared…to our surprise she started dancing to the catchy tunes and she seems to be enjoying herself until it ended…she’s very musical…it was funny watching her and of course motherly pride shines through…
today was a day full of hope…and it was all fulfilled…thank god for that!

ok…for the last week i’ve been feeling crappy, all the way…and now my daughter is feeling crappy…our internet connection has suddenly gone crappy…it was just so sudden one minute it was working fine and the next at about 11 o’clock saturday, it was gone…crappy i tells yah!…the house looks crappy, since i was sick for most of last week the house looks grotty…i have to give the house a good once over again…i hate that while you are sick people still expect you to do things as if you are well…i still have to go out and run a few errands but serena just spewed all over me…she’s not feeling well so i can’t go and take her out cause she might get worse…i might take her to the doctor’s later…there must be something in the water lately as everything ends up crappy with a capital C!

here is a lowdown on how my day begins…usually we get up at around ten in the morning…put hi5 dvd on for serena IMMEDIATELY so i can have a shower and make the bed etc…sometimes she’d go and ask for something to eat before i go to the shower…after that…at around 12′ish i get a call from hubby and talk for 15 minutes or so, depends on what the issues are on the day…after serena finishes hi5 we would watch some daytime tv and usually at around two she gets her afternoon nap…this is the time that i use for doing the motherly duties of cleaning the house, planning what we should have for dinner and watch some more tv…at around 5 people are starting to come home…i think i have at least a 5 minute conversation with each of them and then pepare dinner…at 7 we eat…watch some primetime tv…and by 8 serena gets her bath…by 9 the clean up starts again…9:30 i start my 45 minute work-out…then soon after that i get a shower get ready for bed(serena goes to bed at around 10)…at around 12, we head for the bedroom have a bit of a chat with hubby…or spend time on computer…and finally at around 2 i start drifting off to the land of nod…BORING! what a day…monotonous i tells yah…caio!

this is the fifth day that i’m feeling really ill…i’ve got a major headache and diffuculty breathing…went to the doctors yesterday and i don’t think that i’ve been diagnosed properly…i still think that they should have checked my blood pressure as the headache is really killing me…all i got was a cough medicine which helped the coughing but not the headache…of course while i’m ill, i still have to do my motherly duties…just this morning serena threw a tantrum and started shouting while crying…that nearly blew my head off…hopefully as the day goes on she’ll be calm…just waiting for someone now to do the 13 week check on the house…well, it’s more like 15 week check really…i just hope that i won’t run out of breath as i tkae him around the house and show the faults…oh well, i guess that’s it for today…caio!
i really need to get better…
