People have scars. In all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret roadmaps of their personal histories. Diagrams of all their old wounds. Most of our wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar. But some of them don't. Some wounds we carry with us everywhere and though the cut's long gone, the pain still lingers. - Grey's Anatomy (Because I'm not eloquent enough to say something like that.)

This one day I came home as usual and noticed that the patch of weeds in front of our house was gone. Instead, I saw a huge group of broken skewer sticks about 2 inches tall, sticking out from above the dirt. I was about to pull them out, when my mom stuck her head out the door and told me to leave them.
"Damn cats always use our weed patch as a litter box." she says. "When their little asses squat down for a poop, they're up for a surprise. A stick up their you know what!"
My mom is mean, with a sense of humor. (But, our little patch don't smell no more.)

PHILIPPIANS 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. The road to success is not straight.There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends,red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called JESUS, you will make it to a place called Success.
I'm getting over it. My spare tire is in use. Determined to be have a smile on my face. :D

The same comment was said to me again yesterday. It hurts as much as all the other times it was said. The comment makes me feel misunderstood. I get really frustrated because I really want to get things straightened out. I feel bad. Even now, I still feel bad. I had a break away from this at work, but driving home, I was alone and got to thinking again. Eventually, in a round about way, I came across the comment again. Maybe this week I can get it straightened out. :-(

Yeterday, Debby and I went to go pick up Shelby at Justin's house. They were doing a rocket project. Afterwards, all three of us hit up Carl's Jr for some to-go dinner.
Shelby ordered a #5 for $4.69 and I ordered 4 Slamemrs for $1.99. The total came out to $9.16. Debby and Shelby thought that was a little funny. So we questioned it. The cashier-in-training said the total was right, plus tax. I asked her, "The total is about $7 and the tax is $2?" That's some expensive tax! Her response to my question, "Yeah, I guess. See. here's the receipt. The tax is $2." Looking at the receipt, I told her, "The receipt says 55 cents tax." She didn't know how to push #5 combo, so she charged us the burger, fries, and drink individually, making it cost more. She looked at us blankly and said, "I don't know." Her look said, "So what do you want me to do? Next in line!" I asked her, "Could he help us?" *pointing at the manage in gray* He asks us what happened and he asks me, "So you ordered a #6?" I'm like, "No, a number 5." She even pushed the wrong burger! His reply, "Are you sure?" Jackass, I think I know what I ordered. Debby and Shelby, as my witnesses, heard me repeat the order to her twice and she repeated it back to me with a #5 combo. The manager gave me back 50 cents and gave me a look like, you gave us all this trouble for 50 cents. She over charged me almost 2 bucks! And that's all I got back. She was a cashier-in-training, so I didn't want to be the bitch that made her first day at work helI. So I just said, "Forget it."
I am never going back to the Carl's on Beverly. The slammers didn't even taste as good as the one by ELAC. We laughed about that incident on our way home. We're going to tell Carl that you took two dollars away from me.

Shelby is yelling at me cause I keep playing the same song over and over on Winamp. So I like the song! *putting both palms face down behind neck, till arms are perpedicualr to ground, then putting elbows together, then apart, then together, then apart. Doing it faster* Sucka! :P Talk about brotherly love.
This past week I've been at work, having the time of my life. The weekend didn't treat me any worse. On Saturday, went to work, then chinese. Afterwards, we got picked up by my mom, dad, and Uncle Patrick. We were suppose to eat dinner together at this Japanese restaurant down in Arcadia. Uncle Patrick showed us this house that was on sale...it was a frickin' mansion!
5 bedrooms (3 of which are master bedrooms, all 3 include their own restrooms)
4.5 restrooms (including the 3)
1 kitchen
1 dining room
1 den
1 living room (huge, I might add!)
a backyard big enough for a regular size backyard plus a pool
Asking price: $780,000
Oh, no prob. Let me go through my pockets for the money. My mom tells me to go back to bed and continue dreaming. It doesn't hurt to dream. *sigh* :P
KSH came over to my house and we hung out and did something we haven't done for such a long time. We hung out and talked. Thanks, you two, for coming over! C&O Triotteria next time! :-) You know what, the rest of the weekend is a blur in my head. I don't remember what I did. I remember yesterday, and what a day it was!
Monday. My feet shudders at the adventure. 3 different malls on the same day, each mall actual shopping done. Wow. As Sara put it...it was a HOLLIE-day. Get it? HOLIDAY? hahahahaha.
In order of appearance:
(starting from mi casa @ 10:00 am)
- Santa Anita Mall {2 hours}
- drove down to West Hollywood's Thai town for my favorite, Pad Thai! We met this ugly old grumpy man who wouldn't back up because he wanted the parking spot we were going to get. bastard! it's okay, i threw him a diiirrty look (the look said, "you rotten old grump! you meaaaan! 7 up yours! grrr...") Wish Ra were there, or else he do something funny to the old fart.
- drove to Puente Hills
- Barnes & Noble
- Michael's
- Target (we had our first encounter with diaper-buying)
- Puente Hills Mall
- Montebello Mall
Home by 9:00 PM. *whew* By then, our feet were throbbing from the pain. Random thought: How did people back then migrate from place to place? It hurts your feet.
Thank you, PC for the fun! I LOVE my new purse! It was worth it. I've showed my mom SO many times. It's a perfect little tan bag. Met all my standards of a perfect purse. I like you, New Tan Bag.
As for today, helped my aunty out with the Paige and Evan. Still studying like mad for the philosophy final on Monday. That's it for now.
