Helen just scared the "bageezus" out of me.
I got a call from her 15 minutes ago. She was watching Channel 7 News. A Greyhound bus was coming home from up north. The driver fell asleep and the bus tilted over, killing 2 people.
One of them was named Martha Alvarez. She was 23 years old. She was 7 months pregnant.
That was the exact profile of our co-worker, Martha Alvarez. She was 23 and 7 months pregnant with twins.
She asked me if the Monterey Park office was open this weekend, meaning, did she have to work on Saturday, so she couldn't have gone out of town? I said no. I started freakin' out, thinking it was our co-worker. I frantically searched online to see if she heard right.
Her name was actually Martha Calderez.
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.)

I have not updated for a while. (And btw, the post below is not written by me. Can you tell? =D)
Nothing much has been happening. Maybe that's the reason why I haven't been updating. It's just been school, work, JoJo. Damon called him my boyfriend. Haha. I don't mind. I will post some pictures up of him. He's so cute!
I love watching him run around at the park. It's like he is in the wild. =)
(DB and Alfie, no more eavesdropping! Hi JoJo.)
I have to pee, but my co-worker is in there. I guess that's about it. SoOooOoo...
HAPPY TURKEY DAY (tomorrow) !!!
=)

Midterms have been a pain in the (_Y_). Art History is a great class but damn the early 1500's, I can never remember it. And the names? Parmesan cheese? UCSR? I forgot what UCSR stands for all ready. Maybe University of Sara Rodriguez. ;) I'm so clever, I surprise myself. ;D
Math is useless. Honestly, truth tables? Am I ever going to use it? Like I'm going to whip out a sheet of paper and a pen to determine if indeed if I eat a banana, I will be rich. Hell, I'll eat a million bananas if that was true! Useless, useless, useless! I hate school. I quit. Right now.
Fashion Tip of the Day: Boys, squared-off dress shoes are so six years ago. Renew yourself with trimmed-down shoes that work well with pants or denim. In short, square = bad; pointed = good.
