undecisive...

I don't shop that much because I end up picking an item on impulse or I find myself going to and fro in an aisle.

Undecisive.. that is me!  I wonder if I am really a Taurean when I cannot even decide on what to eat for dinner!

Ande was complaining, her stomach is growling now...she asked me if I'm hungry.  I said yes.  Then, she asked me what I wanted for dinner, told her I don't know but I'm hungry.

At Panera Bread, she brushed me aside and ordered her meal, so I thought, but I saw her handing her card to the Cashier, gave me the cup for my drink.  Without hesitation, I followed her to the table, asked her what she got me... she said "same old, same old".

I smiled.

That's just me.  I chomp on my "same old, same old" or I end up staring at the menu forever or even walk out of the store empty handed... ah, with an empty stomach.

Now I wonder, how could Mr. E missed his treatment for no reason at all?

I won't remember you....

I won’t remember you.  I never remember anything that hurts me.   Harsh huh!     Acknowledging the pain and feeling it is one way but the easiest way there is when you have pain is to suck it up and forget about it.   I did that.   Done that.   I learned to be cynical and stoical.   I never remember anything that hurts me.   When my father died, I only cried the day he was laid to rest.   I cried hard in 2013 when I left my mother in a hospital bed without all her senses and memories…and the day she died.   Crying helps.   Instead of avoiding our feelings, we can simply feel them and forget about it.   However, when events and circumstances overwhelm one to the point where they are an emotional wreck --- there’s always a medicine for it!   So, Mrs. M got her dose.   She passed away.   It was sad.   She was a happy soul.   Someone just hurt me.   I won’t remember you. ...

Sunday's child...

I may not have a fair face, but I am a Sunday child.  Forty-something years ago, on a wee hours of a Sunday, my mother had a 10-pounder.  I was born from an unfortunate situation of my parents who were in dire need to uproot themselves from the very place they called home since their childhood. Most of my siblings were born and grew up in the same hometown.  So growing up in a very different environ caused havoc to some of my older siblings --- who are unable to see the tin line between leaving and living.  On the other hand, I did not realize the difference between us and them (my older siblings) even they kept teasing me and the other two younger siblings "Moros".  I remembered how I was schooled by my older siblings about the sun, the moon, the stars...and why the sky is way up high.  I've learned how greed can cause you hunger and misery from the story of the monkey and the turtle .  I even learned the eye-flipping story of the pin...

my mother's runaway bride...

When you consciously (or unconsciously) forget unwanted memories, it's called motivated forgetting .  Its a coping technique I am good at-- even before I first step in school. I remembered my first days in school.  I don't go straight to the classroom but hangs around that big tree where the school's humungous bell was hanging...by myself.  Circling it, dancing around it as if playing with its soul.  Then I'd stop.  Runs back home.  Gets the ire of my mother who never failed to send me back to school accompanied by a neighbor who--- would just drop me off by the school's gate entrance.  And I'd be dancing with the tree again until it's time to go home. I don't remember when I started to like school.  But I am smart. I am smart but I am and had always been my mother's runaway bride . It was my mother's birthday yesterday.  I was aware of it, I've always looked forward to that date especially when I started earning my own money...
