BUZZKILLER: Why Do I Never Learn?

kahapon anak ako ng diyos sa ngayon ako ay biglang bumaksak pabalik sa lupa. Masakit ang pagbagsak pero hindi na ako dapat nagulat. Ganito tlaga ako bawal maging masaya.

If i wasn't so tired yesterday this blog would've been very different. I was happy damn it! And here am am back to my ranting old self and not even 24 hours have passed. Sheez!

I didn't think I'd fall victim to this kind of thing but I guess everyone will have their time eventually. You know how it is when almost all your relatives are in the states, they develop a network of 'communication' (read:gossip) all by themselves which may or may not correlate with the one existing here in the philippines. Everything is either blown out of proportion or its a different story altogether. Before you know it the telephone lines in the are US are smoking and will eventually find its way here.

The gist of the story is that i didn't invite my cousins to my birthday 'blowout' yesterday. Hell, I didn't invite a lot of people, ok? But I did invite one set of cousins to dinner since they lived near the area. Apparently, these cousins told their mom and their mom told my other aunt whose daughter is going to be married next december (which is still a secret btw, and so what if i don't get to be a bridesmaid after this? big deal!). And this aunt was calling the house last night to greet me I assume so it was obvious that we were out. Technically it wasn't a blowout, it was dinner. If I invited all my family it's either I slave away in the kitchen for hours to feed them all or go bankrupt giving them a blowout. I chose neither ok. I chose to be with my friends. Period. End of Story.

I don't appreciate having my mom call me long distance just to 'ask' me about that. Thank goodness I was out when they called or I expect an argument would have ensued. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into this and blowing it out of proportion. Otherwise, I'm pissed just the same. One of these days I'm going to have a blast thinking of what the off-shore gossip will say about me, it's bound to be fun.
