Hell (of a) Week

*UPDATES:

1. Still unable to pay for my Prelims fees, but have been allowed to take the tests provided I see the prof once I get my permit. Mom says I might be able to pay by next week, might being the operative word of words. Story of my life. (And everyone else's for that matter... Money is really not something everyone has right now, and I'm just thankful am still in UST).
2. Papa texted mom last Tuesday, aggravated because we couldn't pay the land tax this month. Mom needs a huge sum of cash to do so, even with the so-called senior citizen discount. Part of the money for the said tax had been left to our neighbor who had let mom get it because we've been really in need. I actually don't remember when, but then again we've always been in need. Oh well, its not like I can do anything about it. I still can't understand Papa. He's already retired, a US citizen, a man with money and obviously, he's not going to live for too long, so why not use it, right? Now I know I sound really brutal, but forgive me. I resent my grandfather for being so damn selfish. And because, deep inside, I blame him for my dad's sudden departure... but that's for a different ranting session. Let's schedule it once of these days okey?
3. But back to Papa and Mama. Am not sure when but there's been news that their coming home for Boji's graduation (if they (OLOPSC) let him graduate... Boji has yet to pay his tuition fee and am not sure what kind of magic will mom pull of to do so...) I wish they won't cause it will make my (our) home life hell. I won't be able to go as I please. It wouldn't be OUR home when they're there since, duh, it is theirs.
4. Because of all these problems I've decided to focus my attention to other things, like school and books. Books are by far the best remedies if you want to escape your reality. I've finished reading Kathy Love's "Wanting Something More". So cool. Its supposed to be for seven days but I couldn't get my hands off it so I finished it in one sitting. Chelle wants to read it too, but she can't borrow books since she still has unpaid overdues here in the lib. Too bad, wala nang ibang Kathy Love books in the library. I chance upon it by the new books section sa Humanities. Oh well.
5. Speaking of Chell, we've been hanging out a lot these past four days, being in the Education Debate Team. Bry, Reevan, Chell and I will be competing against Engineering on February 16, and I'm really anxious to get it over with. Kakakaba!

Well, today's my last prelim. Tomorrow Gef wants to celebrate her 18th birthday and the last day of exams, but am not so sure if I 'll be able to go... see reasons above.

Hopefully one day I won't be writing about being poor anymore...
