Undecided

Sometimes patience is not something i always have a good supply of just waiting to be used everday and today i dont think my patience was on its full-not at home anyway. ;)

(One o’clock, on a Sunday afternoon, a strawberry crème frapaccino (caffeine free) in my right hand, Chris’ hand in the other and Robby on the same side as my frapaccino)

The Thai Funeral took place in Maryland, Everly-Wheatley Funeral home I think it was, Soon after I arrived, the ceremony began. The first part of the ceremony was to put a Red rose with something attached to it on my grams by me. After that, the ceremony officially started. Most of everything was in Thai with the exception of maybe a paragraph or two in English. One of the leaders briefly, very briefly, made a summary of what happened or was going to happen at the time. She basically said there will be several brief individual ceremonies. Everything else was in Thai; alas I didn’t understand anything that was said after the brief summary in the beginning. I will hopefully have a chance to load up a whole bunch of pictures this coming weekend as I will HOPEFULLY be back in Maryland for another ceremony that is part of the Buddhist religion. So the ceremony isn’t really over. From what I looked at it lasts for 49 days.


In one of the chants they did this is probably something they said:
"Even the gorgeous royal chariots wear out; and indeed this body too wears out. But the teaching of goodness does not age; and so Goodness makes that known to the good ones."

my auntie!

What breed of horse are you? Find out!

I AM here!

I am currently at my favoritist auntie's house in the whole wide world, and you all know who that is!! of course! (my auntie Christiane)The funeral is at 1pm. and I am to wake my dad up at 10am. ANd so, i slept the night with my fav. auntie, the one who came to see me last week!!! WHOHOO!!!! And now i'll leave for a few minutes to go eat breakfast and then i'll tell you what i did yesterday night!
ok, now that i'm back, I FINALLY saw my auntie's new freakin house!! Its got hard floors, a pretty whittle table and beige carpeting! Umm she's got that awesome candlestand that i have a picture of at home..
We watched Bewitched last night! (The movie)and then we hit the hay. and now i'm gonna go bother my one and ony AUntie! i'm out!

I will leave again

I do apologize for my absence once again. If you ever will forgive me my readers, i was away at my dads taking care of my grandmother before she passed away just monday morning at 7:30am. To assure you all, I AM fine and please do not worry or sympathize because I honestly don't want to hear any of it. Don't be hurt! I spent the afternoon on Monday with my very beloved auntie Chris and her and I spent quality time together (something that i haven't done since summer). Anyway, for those who may be wondering, she was around 80, had bone cancer (we just found out about 2 weeks before), had about 8months to live and when she went back to Shady Grove Hospital she had a low potassium and oxygen level and was deyhydrated. I was giving as much water as i could get down her too.. On her last days with us, she hallucinated, couldn't walk, wouldn't eat and it was even harder to understand anything she said (because shes thai and has a strong accent, not to mention her grammar is terrible). And so, I may be going to maryland either tomorrow or Saturday. So, if you do not hear from me then that is where I am.

Also, mother dearest is in the hospital and has been there since saturday morning. Holy Spirit Hosp. is still running tests because they don't know whats wrong with her. And i can tell them without any tests!! She's mentally ill, boarderline diabetic, a worry wort and a list of unmentionables that few know what i'm talking about. I'm guesssing it was just an anxiety attack. I do feel bad for the nurses in care of her though. She is giving them such a hard time. She acts like shes the only one in the hospital and she's EXTREMELY nasty to them.. My prayers for their sanity and patience. There is much more to complain about against her but i will not waste your time babbling.
on another note, None of you may die on me! understood?!?!? I will surely die with you if you do! YOu are ALL very precious to me and I really DON'T want to lose any of you! Life would not be worth living if I didn't have all of you to come home to everday, knowing that most of you are well, and others to worry about... Thank you!

Some great news!! 1st. Dolly (i'm not sure exactly what it is.. but its good) has been chosen to be a participent in a spektacle at the academy of theater (akademia teatralna)!!! 2nd. i have a B in Math which i'm very proud of because i havent had a good Solid B in Math forever! 3rd. Miss. Lee, my bangin' gym teacher, is turning 24 on Januruary 18! AND shes only 3 months and 3 days older than Doll herself. Although i knew she was 23 i never thought to connect the two and how close they are in age! yet they are SOO different! But anyway, we are planning a suprise bday party for her.. or something of the sort.. so far i got cookies and cupcakes.. still thinking about a present.. a good one. I haven't decided yet.. Alex and I are working on it! We need to get more ppl on this proj. of ours but it was like a sper of the moment prep. This will be the ONLY teacher i'm getting ANYTHING for at RL.. and its ONLY because alex thought its a good idea. The rest of the class wont be hard to get in on it:) they're a pretty easy group to convince! If i tried i could get ppl to do lots of things!
So anyway, SOON i'll be out of writers workshop, but until then we are working on a childrens book. I'm pretty excited about getting rid of this class and getting into english because, 1. i dont have the same teacher like most of the kids, i have a cool teacher who is only teaching 9th grade first block next semester. Second, i'm not writing a new story every week, which is a relief! I'll also soon be out of linear algebra and going into intermediate! I'm excited for something challenging. speaking of challenging, i start science next semester as well. I'm unsure on my feelings about that right now considering Science isn't one of my fav. subjects.. (but neither is math.. I did it for Fodness..) My science teacher last year didnt make me very excited about science other than watching him running away from things that are about to blow up! :)) The other class i have is Child development and I'm not too enthused about that only because i'm afraid of dealing with brats like shawn. I dont have patience for kids who got a mouth on them.. But then again, u can't blame a child's behavior on them because it is the parent who is their role model. Therefore what the parent does makes the child believe what he/she is doing is right. I would really prefer to take psychology but thats not an option until next year and next year I'll be at BMA So i'm not sure if they'll have that class.
Anyway, My dearest katie must have decided to take a break from blogging because it has been 5 days or more since she last updated. But i cannot say too much because i haven't blogged very much or often either. However, its not cause i've been really busy because truthfully i haven't been. I plainly havent had the motivation to sit down and write about nothing or something. Is there something ya'll want me to write about, because I have nothing particular exciting happening in my life and there haven't been any rush of feelings until a little after 9pm. which is a bit late to be coming home and getting the computer to write. I must go.
I send my love to my dear Katie, Gina J and B. and my LBG! xoxoxo

Last night while working on the secondhand story due for class monday morning I receieved an unexpected phone call from a very troubled boy. His name was Kris and his life isn't what most childrens' are. It was almost 9 o'clock when he called and I was sitting at my grandma's desk in the living room, just a little bit away from the chair that Emily once sat in. Kris didn't seem his normal self. He promised me that he would stop what he was doing ( i wont go into detail because i promised myself i wouldn't tell.) He obviously started again because I could tell it in his voice just like i can my mom. Running down a list of 'to do's' in my head i was trying to figure out what it is i should do. There isn't much i can do when you have eavedroppers both on the couch and in the next room. Alas, i couldnt do any one on one talking...it was mostly a yes, no, and do the best u can on reading my thoughts..I finally decided there wasn't much I could do but to let him know i wasn't approving... So i let him go to finish my work and then hit the hay. I was in bed not too much longer after i got off the phone, but couldn't sleep for a number of reasons.. Anyway about half past 9 he called again... my grams picked up the phone and neither of us were happy. He clearly knew not to call past 7:30 and he already abused it once....There are only a few people who may call after 7:30 and they know who they are. so now he is no longer allowed to call.. he knew better

This morning i discovered that my birthday falls on a friday! That means if i wanted someone over I could. I already asked my grandma (about specific ppl)and she said just remind her. :D Not like anybody will stay with me for my bday anyway... :P well, not the person i want over for my bday!

I just got on to see a nice little im from a VERY special friend and it really made my day! :D:D:D Then a few moments later i was checking miss. katie's blog for updates and she put up a a garfield comic thingy. :)

and now i'm off. i'm still alive!
