Today's my brother's birthday. He's the eldest, and my only brother. Somehow, we're not on very good terms. We barely speak to each other, and if we do, it sounds like "kuya, telepono, kuya tawag ka ni ma, kuya paheram computer, kuya this, that."

But today, I decided to buy him a present because he gave me one (for the first time, it was KikoMachine :]) last Christmas. I bought a comic book that he really loves, 'Pugad Baboy'. Since I had no time to wrap it, I just stuck a Post-It note on the book saying 'Happy Birthday Kuya! haha, tanda mo na. God bless you. -ina' and slipped it in his room while he ate his dinner in the sala. Later I joined him to eat and watched in suspense as he went to his room. What would his reaction look like? A clear picture of him angrily ripping up the note came up. D: I chewed my spaghetti slowly, shivering at the thought.

Finally after minutes of waiting in agony, he came out of his room and told me, "Salamat sa libro ha." with a smile of a totally different person, a smile so deep in meaning, kind, warm and at the same time sends shivers down my spine; I just can't comprehend it because I've never seen my brother smile at me before,.

My mouth was full of spaghetti then, so I just smiled and said "Mhm." And off he went to get a haircut.

Just what kind of siblings are we?
I don't know.

Happy Birthday, Kuya.

helloooooo. :3 it feels so nice to post again. ahhhh ~~ i just took the UPCAT yesterday. yeah. language proficiency, science and reading comprehension was okay, but math was AAAARGH. i tried to skip it and go back to it later, but i JUST TOTALLY COULDN'T SOLVE ITTT!!!! >__< i left 15 blanks. wooyea.

anyway, finally getting it over with was a relief. i was anxious to get out 'cause the aircon was beside me, and i was freezing to death. when i got out, it was raining. there was a typhoon. AND GUESS WHAT! the typhoon was named after me. :p JOLINA. oh rad. anyway, that day i didn't have a care in the world whether it was named after me or not cause my umbrella had little holes in it and the rain was dripping on me. rawr. weird enough, but the raindrops felt warm on my feet. actually, i couldn't even FEEL that i was wet or anything. i felt really numb. curse that aircon.

when i got home, i mustered enough energy to visit all my friends on pet society [i want money, hahaha] and eat dinner. after that, i went to bed and was out like a lightbulb. i didn't even brush my teeth or take a bath. [what can i do, i was totally out of batteries. XD] and now i'm up again and in danger of having pimples. OHNOES.

next topic.
if converted to the american school system, i am now in tenth grade, and next would be eleventh grade, then twelfth grade, then... college, i think.

but NO, i am in fourth year and next would be college. aaargh. AAARGH!!! dangit. i still don't want to go to college. there's not enough time to decide on what i really want to do. i know some of you guys agree on this. high school life is too enjoyable. i don't want to part from it yet. i don't want to get part-time jobs yet. i don't want to be hassled by wearing civilian clothes everyday. i'll miss wearing uniforms, even if they are the most, boring-est thing ever. if i could get the chance, i would go to japan and finish high school there. and probably buy manga stuff. and be able to see handsome guys. wahaha. BUT I REALLY WANT TO STUDY IN JAPAN!!! God, please let me.

:3 btw, i ate cake for breakfast. and drank hot chocolate.
