Mommy's Bday

Today is my mom's bday. I took her downtown and we had lunch together. I asked her where she wanted to eat and she chose Mcdo. We had cheeseburger, fries, and coke yum yum yum. Nowadays we seldom have fun together that's why I'm glad she came with me. We talked and laughed over fries and coke.

I planned to cook pasta and chicken and bake her a bday cake but my Aunt Thessa called and said she's going to treat us out. We drove to the Chinese Restaurant we used to go to but it was closed so we went to another one. What an awkward dinner.

My mom's bday fun (we didn't have a bit of fun during dinner!) didn't end when we got home. Around 10pm me, mommy, and Pye took the car and we went to a 24 hours store to pick up Pipoy's pictures and my mom bought a bottle of white wine. While leaving the parking lot I saw a police car and I started to feel a bit uncomfortable. I don't have a car insurance yet and the car's not on my name yet so I didn't want to get into trouble. Anyway I drove slowly but the police car was still trailing behind me. My heart begun to beat faster and then the police man signalled to lower the window so I did exactly what he said. I was nervous but I wasn't sure what I did wrong. So when he told me that my headlights weren't turned on, whoa I breathed deeply and sighed. Hahaha akala ko he's gonna give me a ticket coz I signalled later than I'm supposed to that I was turning left! Darn headlights! I'm gonna give myself a heart attack!

He didn't give me a ticket. Booyah!

We all had a good laugh. Happy Birthday Mumsy! Love you so much.

Poway

I'm here in California now and my last post was more than two months ago. Haha sipag.

Anyways, I'm ok here. Striving to be someone who I want to be. Wish me luck ( =

I went hiking with my cousin, sister, and Reina a couple of hours ago. It has been awhile since I've been to the wild since I got here. The mountain wasn't really beautiful. There were barely any trees around and all I saw were bushes and wild flowers but the sky was breath taking. The sky was so blue and the clouds looked like cotton candy drifting above me. I could have looked up at the sky for hours but darkness started to creep in and that means we had to go back. But for two hours, I felt so calm. I wasn't even tired. Back in the car we were all dusty and a bit quiet. The only sound heard inside the car was the techno music we're playing, the occasional conversation, and the heavy breathing of Reina. I guess she was really, really tired because her tongue was drooping from her mouth. The drive was also splendid. We saw beautiful houses whose owners chose to live in seclusion, away from neighbors and the city but still close from everything, if you know what I mean. They had their own drive ways, barns, and ranches! One house even had his own pond! But there's this one house I really admired. It was on top of a mountain bathed in the soft glow of the sun setting on the horizon. Wow. I would die for that view.

Splendid.

Downtown

I missed number 20 and so I had to wait for the next one in the bus stop. It was beginning to get dark but there were still a lot of people walking in the streets downtown. There wasn't much to do while waiting so I just observed people inside their cars who happened to stop infront of me and those who were strolling on the other side of the road.

The air was cold and my clothes weren't keeping me warm. I didn't want to run and buy coffee at the nearest Sturbucks because I might miss the bus so I stayed put. I wasn't comfortable at all in my seat when I saw a small family walking on the other side. The young couple were walking their dog and their baby in a stroller together. I watched them until they crossed and I couldn't see them anymore. I forgot all about the cold, hunger, old men trying to catch my attention beside me, and even the bus I was waiting for. All I could think of was the family.

I want to hold the leash of our dog while my husband pushes the stroller of our baby someday while having an evening stroll. We'd enjoy the night together and our dog would dump somewhere hehe.
I want a family of my own so much.

No number 20 came. They had to pick me up after an hour. I was freaking cold and hungry but calm deep down. What a lovely evening.
