In a relationship, if you can’t afford to be honest, stay single!

Once you get your heart involved, shit gets real.

Dad's "Duh" Moments

At McDonald’s Anaheim: Ordering. Dad: …and also I’ll have coffee please. Cashier: Okay would you like milk and sugar with that? Dad: Just some sugar thanks. Cashier: Okay do you want it inside or outside? Dad: (got confused) Huh? Pardon? Cashier: Do you want the sugar inside or outside? Dad: (still confused) Just give it to me. He later told us when he was at our table: Dad: Walang’ya ibang klase ang english dito ah, tinanong ako if I want my sugar inside or outside? I got lost. Grabe, literal na literal. And we all laughed our butts out (LMAO). What an awesome bonding time with dad and sis today! :]

What earthquake?

The 4.2 earthquake this morning was like a lullaby to me. It woke me up but I fell right back to sleep. It was like my brother storming inside my room without knocking to get my laptop. lol.

When a girl says “What?” it’s not that she didn’t hear you, she’s giving you the chance to change what you just said.

lol.

“Being in a wrong relationship is even more lonelier than being alone and single.”

Oh man... Fever :(

I woke up pretty early today because of my freakin’ fever and found dad cooking breakfast. When out of the blue he asked me. Dad: Mye, kung papipiliin ka dito or sa Philippines? Me: Philippines sympre. Dad: Why give me reasons? Me: Siguro kasi laid-back lifestyle, places are just near kung gusto mong pumunta ng SM ngayon din pwde kang umalis and stuffs Dad: Yun lang? So pasyal-pasyal lang pala ang sayo? Me: No not like that, I like it there because I grew up most of my life there, I didn’t have to try to fit in. My friends are there at siguro mas productive ako when I’m there. I can help people do medical missions and help the less fortunate. Siguro sa mga kapatid ko they would want it here sa US, cause they grew up most of their lives here. Pero ako, napilitan lang naman ako dad. Dad: Eh di umuwi ka… may bahay naman tayo doon. Me: (surprised) HA? IKAW YATA ANG NILALAGNAT DAD! LOL. We both laugh our butts off. But I think from the tone of his voice, he wasn’t kiddin’ when he said I can go home. He probably can tell I have outgrown this american dream. This is just not for me.
