more random ramblings....
so my ghetto but normally it works way of keeping cool consists of a spray bottle of water and the fan next to my bed. the water spray was literally evaporating as soon as it hit.. wtf!! so we finally turned the ac on. the freakin thermostat said it was 80 degrees inside. wtf!!!
irish family is coming again this week- tita baby coming back with kristian and this time with kristofer. they're going to have a bitch time with the heat... i just remember me being cold in ireland and asking tofer if he wanted to bring a jacket, and all he said was wag na lang ate, irish n'ako... which means ... never mind, i'm irish now, but it made it hella funnier since he said it in tagalog.
so tita baby is basically freaking out trying to get back here already. apparently she got all crazy when their passports/visas didn't arrive on saturday... great, just what i need. tita baby is the normal one, she can't go and start acting like mom and tita arlet.
i'm happy she's coming... the nursing home inay was placed in is fucking NASTY. all of us were gagging from the overwhelming smell of POOP. gross.......
i just want inay to get better already... it's ridiculous how much her health has deteriorated in a year...
and selfishly i have to wonder about what's going to happen this time around with tita and family coming back... when they were here a month ago all the stupid family bullshit got to me and i can't help but to cringe at the thought of it happening again... but then again, inay's a lot worse than she was last month
spent time with the arcilla family at eddie's grad party. i love how all the aunties and uncles from the other branches knew me immediately as i walked in as fred's daughter. one of the aunties, crap i forget her name, asked me if i wrote my book yet. good lord. she remembered! the last time i've seen her was probably one of the many funerals from 2002-2005... and she still remembered what i'd said years ago. she had come to our house to see papa, as many of the relatives were doing right before the end. she had asked me then what i wanted to do with my life, and i had told her write books but i was scared to do so because it's such an unstable career. she was the one who told me to write the book and then send it to oprah- if i could get oprah to endorse me i'd be set.
haha
i also love how the arcilla side seems to be so supportive-- not judgemental like the arago. maybe i'm bitter right now still over what happened last month with mom's family, but the arcilla relatives seem so much more... normal.
sigh
