Drug addicts


Greetings from the Philippines!

Life is good. I've been catching up with my cousins and making the same old jokes. Daniel getting left behind in church, me believing Digiland exists, Mildred crying in school because she left our plant homework at home. Oh, the good old days.

Yesterday, the whole family went to visit Auntie Brenda's house for lunch and catching up, and I realized that they were the only family we were never really close with. It's pretty sad when I think about it, because I'm sure kuya Enif and kuya Ian are very cool people.


I just realized, kuya Ian and I are the only people in the family to "break the barrier". The only kids in the family with "crazy" hair, the only ones who dare study the arts in college, and we both apparently look like drug addicts. This may not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but it's an incredibly big deal in the family. Everyone else is doing/did a degree in Engineering, Accounting, or anything that offers a stable job, while we opt for freelancing type jobs like in Photography or Filmmaking. It's sad. We probably have a lot in common and could talk about anything and everything. I really wonder why we're not really friends.


In less depressing news, I'm going to Enchanted Kingdom with my cousins today! I am so psyched! If I'm feeling especially brave today, I might take the Space Shuttle. If you didn't know, it's this roller coaster that goes in loops and goes backwards! It's insane. I just pray that I won't piss my pants.

So all is good so far. I hope you're all doing fine there as well.

Muchos loves.
