Family Ties

My father is sick. Somehow our distance from each other makes it worse. I'd love to be near him and help out in caring for him, especially that my mom is also getting along in years and she has her mother to worry about as well. My mom cares for both my grandmother and her husband. She is also the sole breadwinner of her slowly decreasing family members as we children have decided to leave the country for greener pastures abroad. I'd like to help out, even - at least - financially but times are hard for me at the moment as well. I'm not afraid about losing loved ones. A long time ago, in my early childhood, I have already understood that people we love will come and go in our lives. My fear is more in having loved ones leave before I can properly say goodbye. I wish death were like a Pinoy movie's last full show where you have the national anthem played at the beginning of the final show. Then people will pay more attention to the movie because they can no longer review it. I'll have to make a new blog for Pinoy cinema...as well as our independence day anniversary which happens to be today. Later or maybe tomorrow. Inshallah.

Extra Large

It's always fun to upsize your meals into really large fries and Coke. However, the fun ends there because it is not as fun as when you fit clothes in the shops and ask for it it in XL size becasue the L doesn't fit you anymore. I've been trying to diet on and off. I've been going to the gym, on and off. I must find the strength to persevere. If there was a huge Combo Meal upsized at the end of this endeavour, I'd probably stick to my resolutions with grim determination. Oh well, some exercise and some eat...different strokes for different folks.

Portacabins

I wished I had a portacabin all to myself. It would be my own little world where I can hide from the world when it gets to quesy for my takes...which sometimes happens, especially during difficult times when problems arise be it a home or at work.

I will create my own atmosphere, keeping it cool 24/7 and paint the interior with clouds and apples on a sky blue background. I will put cushions and rugs to give it a cozy feel. A small fridge with cool drinks and some snacks to keep me from hunger, and a surround speaker where relaxing music flows.

If I had a portacabin, I'll buy a huge 4-wheel truck where I would attach my rectangular block and take it anywhere - even to the mall. It would be easier doing groceries as it would save me the trouble of having to haul my horde to a car then at home. I'd bring my groceries into the portacabin direct!

*burst* Oh wait a minute, I will also need a porta-let to do my business in. Or any old newspaper that I could bunch up and throw at overspeeding cars...and cannister loads of aerosol spray to freshen the smell. Or I could mount a hundred little, green pine trees all over the place...maybe match it next to the apples on the walls.
