thousand misses and more- /
Monday, March 26, 2007
It rained today. For some reason it made me miss a lot of things.
I suddenly remembered my grandfather and our old house in Cebu. I suddenly miss the smell of cigarettes and pomade on my grandpa. I miss how he meticulously cut the grass in the lawn until they all evenly stand out like those old green doormats we used to have.
I miss my mom. I miss how she makes fun of me and how she disturbingly makes me laugh even if I had the shittiest of days.
I miss the beach. I miss my old friends.
I miss writing and I especially miss painting.
I miss my dog Nikki. I remember back when I was a lot younger than today, when everything was just so simple and seeing her wag her tail as I come home from school made me happy.
I miss lazy sunday afternoons with my dad. Doing nothing but listen to the old hits on the radio.
I miss my Aunt Nannette and her eccentric taste in clothes and my Aunt Miriam's banana chips.
I miss cleaning my room so much that I've grown a custom to dust bunnies and hair on my bedroom floor.
I miss my first love. I miss how she kisses my nape and stares blankly across the room whenever we're in a fight.
I miss my nephews hug, my sisters laugh and my brothers cooking. I miss how my kuya amazingly comes up with weird hindu dishes with curry powder and ginger root in a jiffy.
I miss nonsense bisaya conversations with Anya. I miss the old Ynna, the happy Nyx, the way Tina rubs my ear lobe and I really miss looking at my friend Sarah's hand while she lights a cigarette while driving.
I miss hearing my patients 'thank you's and the smiles they give me every time I don't screw up their medications and bed tags.
I miss ate Alma's peach incense and the poor man's doughnuts at Dos Castillas.
I miss my friend Sherryl with her puruntong.
I miss having peanuts and Scrabble with my cousins.
...funny how a little drizzle makes you miss the old days. Being a "grown-up" sucks. I could go on forever missing these things but hey, it stopped raining-

Muntik ko na kainin si Brownie...(A Tribute to Vegetarians like Rome-ee) /
Friday, February 02, 2007
I woke up late that day like I usually do around 12 or 1 in the afternoon, just in time for lunch. Like any other day, I went straight to the fridgeto look for food. Not noticing the food prepared in the dinner table. Wow! Roast beef! It was so mouth watering I immediately grabbed a plate. Unluckily, my dad forgot to leave me some rice and stubborn-ass that I am, I was too lazy to cook rice and setled for bread. So that was it, bread the whole day.
That night my dad got home extra early and I was still in the middle of my "afternoon nap" when he woke me up and invited me to eat my dinner. When I got out of bed, I found my dad eating a plate full of what seemed to me was the left over roast beef from lunch.Yummm... "Ano ulam?" I asked. And without any hesitation my dad quickly said... "Si Brownie!". My face was literaly distorted and I squirmed like a girl. "EEEEEEEWWWW!". Seriously, my dad was eating our dog!! (Sadly, his name really is Brownie-very Pinoy indeed) I never really liked that dog coz he always chews my slippers but still, he was considered a family pet.
I later found out that Brownie ate three of our chickens (yup, we have chickens, dogs etc.) so as a form of "Punishment" (I think) Dad killed him and had him for dinner. I KNOW! If you have seen Brownie long before he was dinner you wouldnt have guessd you could actually cook the poor guy coz he wasn't really that big and beefy. He kinda' reminds of Santa's Little Helper from the Simpsons. (Thus the photo in my blog entry)
So anyway, back to the story.I wish my dad had never told me that we're having our dog for dinner coz honestly I had no problems eating "Dog Meat" (just as long as I dont meet the dog before I eat it)and I was so starving that night, but then again I'm kinda happy that he did tell me... I mean would you eat a burger if you know the cow's gona be it?? Seriously? would you? Shit I can't believe I almost ate Brownie!!!
