Darn this day!

A lousy day this is. I hate it - terrible, it was. So much for waking up in the morning wonderfully. First, I woke up with my elder sister with a fever. She really had to go to school now, so I was really bummed. Pity her, you know. Then, when I got to the commuting station (near McDonald's and Caltex), I realized that I didn't have what my adviser told me to bring -->(an introduction about OFWs). So I had to waste money, time, effort and everything for that measly paper. I even cried on the way home.

Then, when I got to school, I was almost late. Can you imagine?! Not only that, but we, everyone from the school, had to stand up at the front of the school to pray the Rosary. It's actually the International World Peace Day. But I don't feel so peaceful at all..No. I feel angry and irritated and it's really HOT! So hot that I could only wish for an air conditioned classroom. But unfortunately, even though my school is a private one, we don't have air conditioned classrooms. Honestly, the library, the prayer room, the Principal's office and President's office are the only ones that have air conditions in it.

Then when I got back home, I see my sister. Supposedly, she'd have to go home around 7 cause she's already in College, but she got a permit to get home early. She has a fever, and the last time I checked her temperature, it was 38 degrees. Then, my papa (as I am used to calling my dad), wouldn't fix up a good, hot soup for my poor sister. Instead, she had to eat rice and beef steak. And believe me, when you're sick, you can't find the strength to swallow it up.

And then when I got to the computer, my dad said that there would be a new policy: No using the computer unless it's a dire emergency (which means READ: ONLY ASSIGNMENTS AND HOMEWORKS ARE ALLOWED TO BE DONE IN THE COMPUTER. ANYTHING LESS IMPORTANT THAN THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.). Then he said that using the computer with things not so much important (like updating your Blog or something else), could be done every other day. Imagine that?! I couldn't even squeeze everything that I want to do in an hour a day, now it's an hour every other day?!?!

I can't take this anymore. Using the computer is my life. They can't do this to me. But what can I say? My father is the law here at this house, and I must obey the rules. Therefore I must obey my dad. It's hard on my chest, you know, cause the only entertainment I get from this house is using the computer, then because of just a command from my dad, I am almost taken away from my hobby. This is the only thing that keeps me sane, what with projects, homeworks, and other schoolwork. I mean, come on, my parents are hoping that I get somewhere (READ: TOP FIVE) in school. But remember a saying that "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". Change the name and that saying might as well apply for me. I am completely, utterly angry about this. And to think I'm smart and all, and my parents are trying to take me out of my computer hobby. Then what if I'm dumb? An idiot? Would I be taken away from the television set (well hello, I already am taken away from it. Nearly every night my dad and uncle gets the tube all to themselves), computer, video games, et cetera??? I can't possibly take it.

And know what thought I have that makes it all worse?

That I can't do anything about it. Nothing. Because my dad the authority. When he says so, he says so. I can't argue (and when I do, I get into big trouble) with it. I can't.

I hate my life. Well...most of it.

And this is one part of my life that makes me realize that life does SUCK. Totally.
