After getting our cards, graduation day pics, and getting a frustrating dose of UNAPPRECIATION (argh, stupid PHOTOGRAPHERS... matuto kayong makiramay, kabastusan yung ginawa niyo kanina... lalo na kayong DALAWA), my mom and I headed to Ateneo to confirm my slot in bs psych. Reality struck right then and there, when my mom refused to do anything else but accompany me while I tried to figure out where we had to go next.

Mababaw nga kung iisipin, at alam kong talagang dapat marunong na akong tumayong mag-isa, pagkatapos ba naman ng halos apat na taong natuto kaming magsarili. But somehow, it just didn't feel that way... on the contrary it felt otherwise, in a very weird and unexplainable way, as though reality suddenly slapped me in the face to tell me that I really was getting older, and that I really had to start catching up with time already. For some reason, it felt odd just going to and fro the admissions office of Ateneo and reading through the detailed pieces of paper we were given because... it just was. Caca, time to grow up.

At eto pa, we went to the grocery a while ago to buy food for ourselves because we had to buy snacks for our sleepover with our younger cousins, when my brother suddenly remarked,

"Bili ka ng snacks Mica para sa bahay. Magssleepover yung mga BATA."

Hehe, matanda ka ba?? I've gotten so used to us being part of the "kids" in the family that it felt alien to hear my brother say something like that. The stupid thing about it?

Stupid scene #4, which happened within the same hour at the grocery:
(VR is our youngest cousin)

Dustin: Ca, dali... kuha tayo... (points to baby food)
Mica: sige go...
(takbo sa isle stupidly)
Dustin: Anong masarap? Yung apple banana nalang...
Mica: Banana!... or Ayaw mo applesauce?
Dustin: Hindeh... masmasarap yung apple banana...
(several people suddenly enter the aisle)
Dustin: ah, ano... para kay VR. Magugustuhan yan ni VR.
(takes nestle baby and runs off)

sorry na... masarap eh.
