Shit happens.
Sabi nga nila, everything always balances itself out. Kung baga, whether you like it or not, at the right moment... shit will happen. Ah, the misery, I mean, mystery, MYSTERY of it all.
Yesterday, as I checked to see if any mail came in for me (as I have been doing for the past two excruciating weeks) and something did. It was my Capital One stuff. I don't know if you can imagine me scurrying to get the mail opener, but that was that. And when I finally got the envelope it opened *the Hallelujah chorus*... My application for a credit card was finally approved! I literally jumped up and down with joy, and the people around the house couldn't stop themselves from looking over my shoulder.
So eto na yung shit happens part.
I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but my father and I are the ones struggling to keep my family financially afloat right now. It's not easy, but we get by. Last night when he found out my CapOne finally got here (it was the first time he found out that I even applied for a CapOne) he was nonplussed. Possibly angry. And then he started to talk, which can be very annoying sometimes. He said that this was a terrible idea (thank you) and this would be another bill for us to take care of (thank you). Blah blah blah. He lost me at "this is a terrible idea." And he went into his banker mode and I can't understand a thing he says even if I try.
So today, instead of taking my brothers on a much deserved shopping spree, I am spending my day drawing flowers. Yes, flowers. I don't know what I'm going to with the card yet. I should probably send it back, I don't know.
Maybe things will balance itself out for my favor this time. Although I seriously doubt it.Labels: feelings, stories

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.
- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.
- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.
Draw and paint.
Learn how to play Sudoku.
- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
