a piece of advise: read between the lines. sometimes she makes it look difficult when actually it is not. it’s normal. sometimes when we are afraid to admit something that will expose our ego, we tend to hide in our cocoon. but it will come out. it will surely come out. so dont be bothered. it looks difficult. it looks so uncaring. it sounds so cold. but..it’s not…just read…read between the lines.

Spectator’s banner story bothered me. It reads "FBI investigative report states violent crimes in Hayward increased 24.3 percent".  last year, it was oakland. i hope there’s no competition here.

dad is still at the hospital. out of the ICU (again). there were some progress although some are very minor.nevertheless, we are just happy that he’s out of the ICU and can already breathe on his own. he still cant talk that much but last night, he said "gud-o" and that’s me! and i’ve missed that voice!

i’ve been sleepless since last week.is it insomia or "i-just-cant-stop-thinking-of-u" syndrome? whatever it is..its making my nights difficult. i think i’ve counted millions of sheeps already. and i’m tired of counting and i’m tired of sheeps. so, last night, i counted strippers but it only made me un-sleepy. :(   maybe i’ll just think of a sleepy story or a sleepy thought or maybe think of happy thoughts and smile while sleeping.

song playing in my head since the time i wake up:

I’ve been thinking ’bout everyone,
Everyone you looks so lonely
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars, I see someone else
When I look at the stars
The stars, I feel like myself          -switchfoot, stars

i wonder why winnie the pooh is not wearing an underwear. i know. i know. it’s an old debate. but there’s no answer yet. but come to think of it, one reality strikes us all here…underwear doesnt make a person..so whether you are wearing one or not..it doesnt matter…he he he..i’m not wearing one right now.

i just want to apologize. you know who you are. so sorry if i’ve offended you. i didnt mean to hurt your feelings. i should have been cautious of my words because you are so sensitive and you are in a difficult condition right now. i didnt say you are the villain. i just hope you wont judge him just like that. dont say that he doesnt need you. let him say that to you. and if you heard him say those words. then, believe. i hope we could still talk. you are really nice. i just hope you are reading this blog. i hope you’ll get well soon. i will still pray for you.

finally…this…

"We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still, the expected’s just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives." -Dr. Meredith Grey
