Naku... State of emergency na sa Pilipinas. At nalulungkot ako. Kasi habang yung mga Pilipino nandun sa Pilipinas, ako andito sa New Jersey, ineenjoy ang patapos nang winter. :(

I was on my way home from NY yesterday and I couldn't help but feel that I've abandoned the Philippines. I mean, sure, I didn't have a choice when it all comes down to it, but still... I can't help but feel that I betrayed my role as a Filipino. Naks. Umarya nanaman po ang pagiging makabayan ko.

On the lighter side of the news, my cousin celebrated her 17th birthday last Saturday. I am proud to say that I finally have my first (is that right?) official crush here. *blush*

Okay, details. His name is Greg. He's Fil-Am (Yey!). He's 23. he's old, I know. But he has a decent job, my kuya works with him, and makes, uh, quite a lot of money. (Yun naman pala! LOL.) He's tall, well, for me. :)

So ayun. Birthday ng cousin ko kaya shempre, partaaaaay! Di joke lang. We had dinner at their place. Tapos, I was baby-sitting my baby cousins (I know what you're thinking. What am I doing baby-sitting in a party, right?). And then this guy in a pink shirt and a navy blue NY cap walks by. I was like, Hell he's gorgeous!

After a while, my Kuya Ray calls me into the kitchen so we can do some drinking. Lo and behold, he was there. My gave me a look that said Hot, huh? And all I could do was flash a smile. Then we started giggling (oh, yes. How adorable, two giggly girls. LOL.) for no reason, or there probably was a reason, I just don't know it.

Then Greg goes, Who's your friend, Rache? So my cousin tells him I'm her cousin. He comes up to me, puts one of his arms around me and says So, you're the crazy cousin I've been hearing about! I almost died. I laughed and told him that no, I wasn't the crazy cousin he's been hearing about. I'm the very crazy cousin no one likes to talk about! Everyone in the kitchen laughed.

My cousin and I had a couple of drinks then I went back to baby-sitting my cousins. Tapos, he starts hanging out with my little cousins and me. Nung una, umiyak pa yung mga pinsan ko! He's a bit scary kasi with his height and everything. But I told my cousins, it's okay, ganyan. Tapos okay na and he literally hung out with the babies. Funny.

At around midnight, my cousins were asleep and I was left to hang out with my Kuya Ray, Rache and Greg. Tapos tipsy na si Greg, nakakatawa. Then we start talking about our personal lives and stuff. When the conversation died down he said, Man, I don't know who I like better, your cousin or your sister! Wee.

Wee. Ang cute niya. Ang gago niya. Crush ko siya! LOL.
