Sippin' Pina coladas
Today was a bad, bad day at work. Every single day I find that I despise that place more and more. My boss is a fucking lazy ass of a woman and she terribly needs to put her priorities in order.
I'm not in the mood to go all dickens (New word which, apparently, means
short story long) so here's what I'll tell you: She didn't let Mai do a cash-count of her money even though Jen's money came up short; she took out her frustration/anger/
menopause-ikaw-ba-yan on poor, sweet Mai.
Mai ang I just shook our heads and forced ourselves to laugh. I gave her a quick hug and told her "We'll laugh about this later," and I know we will. It won't be long until we're lounging on some beach, sippin' pina coladas, talking about how great life finally is after it has been so cruel, too cruel to the both of us. She'll be rich from all her nursing bleh and I'll be... content from teaching. And we'll be happy. Happy.
I can't wait to put this all behind me.
---------------Do you know that there's such a thing as a Doctor of Theology? I didn't. Apparently it's the equivalent of a Ph.D. in theology. Thanks for the info, mom.
My mom wants me to get a Th.D.
Nakakaiyak. Nakakaiyak talaga. It's one of two things: she has no idea I'm not interested in theology or anything and everything that has anything and everything to do with God, religion and faith, or she just doesn't care that my heart's somewhere else. Life is more unbearable than it has to be because of my family.
I don't want to die. I just want to fake my own death.

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.
