Transient Dreams

Let the light pierce through the darkness Close all old accounts, turn a new leaf Re-learn that old lesson of friendship Kill nor be killed, settle for lessening Amidst us of this fossilized hatred

Transient Dreams

glimpses of life… silence and chaos; laughter and tears…

Perhaps that time has not come yet when our, Gods would listen to the beats in our hearts, peace and happiness spread their glow, perhaps we would have to force Mother Time?.

Ohhh Charlie, you’re so funny!

And by Charlie, I mean my sister Leslee. Because she loves Charlie — as in Charlie Brown in Peanuts. I like Lucy van Pelt but they say I’m more like Sally Brown. Maybe that’s because one of my favorite comic strips is when Sally goes to wake up Charlie, “I hate to tell you but it’s time to get up, Charlie Brown.” Then Charlie says, “If you hate to tell me then why do you tell me?” Sally replies, “Because I really love to tell you…” and heads out the door. Oh okay, I get it because I can be stubborn like her. But she has a good heart.

Anyway…

I had a funny conversation with my sister last Sunday — about sex. I can’t post the details here because one of my goddaughters (I have two, and one godson) recently discovered my blog and I’d rather not be the one to pollute her innocent mind. It started when we went grocery shopping and bought some chips — think of the Pringles slogan. I kept telling her that “there’s no such thing as bad habits, only vices” and she said, “yun ang pinakamasarap na bish,¹ *insert Pringles slogan here*” — something like that.

I’ve been talking to my friends a lot for the past few days. Especially my MMA buddies. Psyche txts me now and then about software — I promised to help her as much as I could even though I’m on leave (and probably won’t be coming back). I can answer her questions about Photoshop but I don’t know anything about Maya! I watched some of the ABS-CBN animators work during my OJT but I was too shy (then) to sit down and tinker around with them even when the person in charge of the workshop (training) said I could. pfft.

I’ve also been catching up with Dol (Niñ’s ex). Who would’ve thought we had so much in common?!

I wanted to visit my cousins in the hospital earlier. Bennyppe has an abdominal infection and might need surgery. Janz has Dengue and might need platelet transfusion. My mom wouldn’t let me go because I had Dengue fever syndrome back in high school - it’s not contagious by human contact (transmission is by man » mosquito » man) but my mom doesn’t want to take chances. I know my cousin’s in a lot of pain. I remember when I got sick, I was in the hospital for a whole week and couldn’t move - it hurt all over. Every test they did felt a hundred times worse than usual. I thought I was going to die..I felt so cold but I was lucky, my symptoms were actually mild compared to most cases. My cousin probably feels much, much worse than I did then.

EDIT, 8:16 am
Bennyppe’s going to need surgery. They found a cyst in one of her ovaries. And her uterus and fallopian tubes have been affected too. We’re still waiting for other test results. I don’t think they have the results of the CT scan of her abdomen yet.

I have two new hostees! Please welcome Sarah Marie and Joey to the Midheaven Family!

bish — their slang for “vice” - most of the time they use it to refer to smoking or cigarettes; i.e. “May bish ka?” ↩

Sorry that your cousins are sick. I hope they get better soon. I’ve never heard of Dengue fever but I guess that’s becuase there’s no such disease where I live.

LOL about your sister.

Yikes, about your cousins… I hope they’ll get better really soon! I’ve never been THAT sick to have to go to the hospital… =/

I love Charlie Brown too. He’s cool. The Peanuts gang is great!

Oh, I’m sorry that your cousins are sick. I know what you mean, I hate it when I see sick people especially if they’re my relatives or friends or anything. I hope they get better!

It sounds like you have a really good relationship with your sister, which is good. I’m sorry to hear about your cousins though, I hope they get better soon. I hope everything works out for the best and it all turns out okay. *hugs*

I hope your cousin recovers soon! Being in the hospital is not fun at all!

I love Peanuts too! My favorite is Linus…and Snoopy. And Woodstock, because how can you not love watching panels of dotted lines ending with the little bird landing on the ground. <<I just love pirates! lol.

No way. i am eating pringles right now. Lmao. Coincidence I guess.

Sorry about your cousins. My brother got dengue two weeks back too. He was hospitalized and my other cousin also got a cyst in her ovaries. They found it last month. I don’t know if it is fine now though. Didn’t get any news after that.
