This way to the stars

Crappy misunderstanding

Mom and I had a little "misunderstanding" today.

It was like this:

I was playing my sis's Gameboy Advance. The game was Crash Bandicoot purple. It was a hard, tricky game, and my head was hurting and my eyes were popping out from frustration. After what must have been an hour of struggling, frustration, and head scratching, I finally completed a very HARD segment of the game (and got a gem and a purple crystal too!). Naturally, I shouted "Yesss! Sa wakas, tapos ko na rin!".

Unfortunately my mom was in the room, and she shushed me and told me to keep quiet in that awful nagging way of hers. So fine. I kept meek and quiet.

But that's not all. Apparently mom thought that the sound from the Gameboy was too loud too (which it wasn't to me). So she exclaimed, "Hinaan mo naman yan! Natutulog si Kendra. Kaninong bahay ba to...!!!". (Just to remind you: we are still in Portland, and sis and me are going home in 3 days.)

On and on went the diatribe. So, just to close the matter entirely, I turned off the sound coming from te Gameboy. Fine. I realized her point. No hard feelings on my part.

But apparently, mom thought I made a sarcastic move, which it totally wasn't! So then she shouted at me: "O?? Ba't galit ka nanaman?? Palagi ka nalang nagagalit sakin!!! Ay, naku! Di bale, pagkatapos ng 3 araw you'll get rid of me na!!!" (Mom isn't going home with us. She's staying here to petition us.)

CRAP. CRAP. CRAP. I stayed quiet. I didn't blow my top this time, or else there'd be another HUGE ROW that would definitely defeat the point of being quiet in the first place. And what did she think? That I was sarcastic and ungrateful? WHY???!? Because I ended the entire argument on her terms? Did she think I didn't have respect for my tito and tita (who owned the house)????? DRAT IT. I hate arguing with my mom. She gets so volatile and defensive. And I hate it when you're trying to breathe, calm down, step down and give them their way, and they throw the effort right back in your face as if it was no good.

Ohhhhh well. *sigh* *shudder* *sniffle*. At least we made it up afterwards. At least mom drew me aside and kissed my head, and I said "okay!" like it was no big deal. Who would want to prolong a stupid argument anyway? But still, I feel like I HAVE to release my pent-up feelings SOMEWHERE. And this is it.

CRAP. Crap. CRAAAPPP!!! And on top of it all, my head is hurts more, I wanna cry, and drat it! I'm bored!! What CAN a person do in a whole day stuck in the house with Thy Royal Highness Princess Kendra?!? I played the stupid Gameboy. I blogged. I let my mind rot.

LET THE WHOLE WORLD FILL WITH CRAP!!!
