A Series of Unfortunate Events

Finally, a moment alone with my laptop! I shall write as quickly as possible while Mark’s still fast asleep so please don’t mind the usual errors. This week was pretty bad. Had some good moments, but still, it was a bad, bad week.

Sunday

I walked under the rain, slipped, landed on a puddle, got covered in mud, got humiliated, and bruised my already dark knee (I noticed two days after that I had this black circle on my knee which hurt when I got out of bed) — all because of coffee temptation.

Monday

Mark’s parents made us feel worthless, *insert drama here*. Plus, mealrike got scammed in the evening — twice. I don’t know why bad things happen to us. But thankfully, we printscreened everything and made a detailed report about it.

Tuesday

We got our scammed point coins back. I did the laundry — a week’s worth — but unfortunately, the next door neighbor decided to hog our sampayan space all to their own. I hate them. Felt more hate when the evening came when I noticed someone making the same status updates, doing what I usually do, and saying annoying stuff that I say too, and my goodness I was on PMS! Mark had to bear with my whining — he told me about “that abnormal attitude” and then hugged me tight, still making me feel accepted. Ah~

Wednesday

I ran errands — went to get some documents and have them delivered to my aunt. Mom asked me to go to the mall to get the stuff she left at the courtesy booth so I decided to send out the documents at the LBC branch there. Unfortunately, I had 160 pesos left and the fee was — how much? — 160 pesos. I had no choice but to send the documents since they were needed asap. I was supposed to just go home and not pay multicab fare but I’m not that kid anymore, lol. *ashamed* So I was stranded. I texted almost everybody on my contacts list, asking for help, and hoping they were in the mall too. Some ignored me, some were busy, but thankfully, one friend (Jun-jun) came to the rescue and took me home. I was supposed to run another errand (scheduled 9:30 in the evening), this time to get a package from afar. Mark was to come with me so we showered, got ready and waited. And then errand cancelled~

Thursday

Our room got attacked by insects. It was one of the most horrifying moments of my life. Have you ever seen (or pictured) a house got attacked/filled with bees? That’s how our room was that afternoon, only with insects. Mark sacrificed himself and went under them with a basin full of water. Some of them died, some were left hovering. We were also in a hurry to do the same errand (from Wednesday) so we left the room. I was already scared there anyway. While on our way to get the package, mom texted me saying it was cancelled again. Mark saw how unhappy my face was so he asked if we can just stroll around the mall (para diri sayang nam paginandam naliwat). I was having a terrible day so I ran to the comfort room and cried in a bathroom stall, made Mark wait for minutes outside. I was arguing with mama via text and it was her turn to make us feel worthless. With the house not being kept clean even though I do chores all the time since I’m the one that’s being left there, and about me not having a job or not getting any of the jobs I applied for, and about us asking for help that we had to do that stupid errand. For the first time, I had a bad week on my planner — where I scribbled a big BAD WEEK, I HATE EVERYONE, I HATE MY LIFE, and even a list of people I hate this week.

Friday

After skipping 5 meals, I finally ate. I have not gone home yet so mama came over to Mark’s (had her first conversation with Mark’s loud mom). She was wearing something horrible which made patching things up with her hard. Oh, she knows she’s wearing something horrible too but she just won’t admit it since it was her boyfriend’s shorts (or type of shorts).

Celebrating with banana cues(!) because due to the afternoon’s unbearable lag (on RRO), I finished Monique’s book! Yes, it’s the same book I’ve been meaning to read a month ago. That book made me feel uncomfortable, like I just want to set it on fire or stab it with a basilisk fang. I’m still not sure if I want to continue reading (The Reptile Room) though. Monique, enlighten me. Mark also finished Jolo’s book (Ang Mga Kaibigan ni Mama Susan), probably minutes before me but he seemed lost after putting the book down.

The evening wasn’t so bad. Despite tolerating my ulcer, I got the chance to run Cedi with some Indo/Malay players (I still don’t know) and finally got my large blue angelwing(!), paid 2C for it but it was worth the wait (now I can level up). I even got a free large white one and some A loots as an incentive — they said for a low level high priestess, I had a nice performance. (Good, because I’ve been doing support for 8 years now! No, make that 7 because I was struggling as a swordie during the first year in my RO life)

Today

Looks like the rain is being a bitkuha and stopping us from going to V&G — happy fiesta, ex-home! I miss it there. I miss how much of a hassle it was going into or out of the subdivision for other people (and I was so thankful I lived in the place). Now, I get to be one of those people. Okay, I shall go prepare now, deliver a package to my ex-neighbor, and visit my loves and my yayay inaanak. Wish me luck~
