Big Leaps

With the incredibly boring, yet flying, summer, I have notices some changes in myself. So thus:

I’ve decided that I could do without my lank, straight-ish hair so I got it permed. It took so long, for apparently, some portions of my hair simply refuse to be curly.

I had to sepia tone the last one for it’s quite blurry. Ü

Now, I dont have to comb my hair every now and then. In fact, once and a not very thorough combing in the morning after bath is quite enough! yay. Ü I now have an excuse whenever my mom thinks my mom looks wild…yeah, it is SUPPOSED to be wild. Haha.

Then, another leap is my grandmother’s illness. Firstly, her kidneys have shrunk and are now in stage 5. She’s undergoing dialysis twice a week. Then, several days ago, she started complaining of belly achek. She was rushed to the hospital and after an ultrasound and a CT scan, it was found out that her liver has this “water masses” in it. Why? No one can seem to explain, at least, as it appears to me. Only, I do remember her having this sort of problem before her kidney problems were detected. So, what could cause water mass in the liver and shrinking kidneys? House? Any diagnosis?

Dad says it’s probably due to the many many many meds she had and has to take.

Oh, and I also started reading again. Congratulations to me! “Bows to self* Haha. I was engrossed with Harry Potter 6 and 7. They kept me busy for some days. I also downloaded an e-book from bookay. I think the story was a Carlos Palanca Award winner. I have not started reading the book, “Guerilla Warfare”, for I am a bit impatient with the computer and the internet nowadays, thus explaining the lack of posts.—another biggish leap.

I also feel lesson deprived. Lesson as in the prof-class -lesson thing. I must be mad but I am missing school. “Let’s go UP!” As mad as it sounds, I miss racking my brain for ideas, looking around for some inspiration, staring out the window and hoping there’s an answer written on the clouds. Haha. What I dont miss are the hours before a major exam. That’s when I am most pressured to review and the slightest distraction stabs my conscience like some hot knife. Sheesh. haha. really.

I also have not gone through any readings from the student study center of the Opus Dei that I go to, Daniw. I have not done any sched for weeks, have not truly prayed since about the 2nd week of April, lost some of my tolerance to things. Strangely enough, I have not felt any twinge of conscience while I am enumerating all of these. Yeah, it’s good that I know my shortcomings and I accept them…but its disgusting that I am not doing anything to correct them…or whatever it is you do to shortcomings.

The 12th [?] International Kids’ Village is coming. I will attend. i just wish I can truly serve.

One leap this week is the “advancement” of our case against the burglar. His bonds are now canceled [he bailed himself out] and a warrant is about to be served to him. I really dont know what to feel about this whole thing. Scared, mostly, then impatient to those who can’t talk about anything else…then, recently, indifference. I dont effing care! ho.

Another change nowadays is the fact that I am now taking care of our dogs…especially to chuchi: 2 mos, AsKal [stray dog, no breed] and has been the household’s joy since the day she arrived.

She seems to be sick lately, though. her hind legs look like they are in pain. She is no longer the energetic and wiggly [there is no other word for it] pup she used to be. Aw. I do hope she gets better real soon.

And the last, finally, but the biggest leap, I wrote the whole post on a scrap paper. Layouting the post and labeling the pics. Everyone who has been with me during any paper work would know that I sort of abhor scratch and I think more when I am hitting the keyboard. I have never appreciated the beauty of sheer writing…well, until now.
