i close my eyes, and the flashback starts.

my mom got home last night from her Handmaids ILC in Manila. ugh. we YFCs get Cebu and them old people get Manila? that's just not fair. not to worry, though. Next year our ILC is gonna be in Baguio. woo! and my mom told me that Tita Ann told her that she's making Yssa and kuya Scud go to next year's ILC too. err, that'll be weird. wala kasi siyang close sa'min. but whatever. Darlene made friends, maybe she'll make friends too. If she just stops being soo maarte. lulz.

Anyway, mom's back. Meaning we have to wake up as early as my other cousins, which is 8am or earlier. and that pretty much sucks cause i cannot wake up that early! it's summer, for goodness' sake! ugh. and when i'm up, then she starts yapping about me not doing chores and stuff. ugh, i do chores kaya! i just don't do it when i'm told. you're not the boss of me, no one bosses me around! and i hate, hate doing stuff when i'm told. i'm more of a 'do it when i feel like it' kind of person. and that explains why i never clean the classroom. and when everyone ignored me during the newspaper project last february, i took control of everything and they were like, "wow, van! marunong ka man pala mag.dala ng group"

mom. i can't live with her, i can't live without her.
