Reasons why my mom is awesome

1) she'll give me a very tight hug whenever i say im stressed

2) she makes me and my younger brother milo dinosaur every night

3) if we're hungry, she'll ask what we want and whip it in a jiffy.

4) she doesn't mind me poking her tummy and when i ask her, "whats this?", she'll smile and reply, "muscle!"

5) with a sweet smile like this, who could ever resist her?

in fact, we all have great smiles because of her. i love you mom! :)

xanga

im back on xanga! i just don't have the heart to abandon it because i've been with xanga since i was a secondary school kid. that was like 7 years ago i suppose? that explains the username, immortalised_maniac (seriously, i could have done better than that!) ahh, teenage years, what memories they bring! and i have all those memories written in this xanga of mine. it has been my bestfriend and my confidante over the years. yeah sure its no human being but thats what makes it awesome. it doesn't judge me nor criticise me. it allows me to be myself and im really glad i have xanga. :)

well for all those years my xanga, you deserve a new makeover! 

p/s: the actual reason was that i was bored with my previous layout. hey, don't judge me!

i <3 him

looking at the pile of work i had to do, i let out a huge sigh.

the next thing i knew, my younger brother's face was right smack in front of mine and he had the biggest smile you can ever imagine.

"what the heck are you doing? and whats with that huge smile of yours?"

"i saw you looking sad and i just wanted you to smile."

haha, thats my younger brother for you. my one and only younger brother. what will i do without him? 

fool again

i was watching tv one fine day when the screen suddenly turned blank on me. feeling pissed off cause i was in a very comfortable position on the couch, i started pressing every single button i could lay my hands on. unfortunately, nothing worked. i almost gave up when a pop up appeared on the screen saying "unable to locate signal. please call 1633 if problem persists."

well, a person in the right mind would call the number straight away BUUTTT i made the decision not to. 2 reasons why.

no. 1: i hate calling these company people. i always end up listening to some retarded tune followed by a recorded voice saying "please hold while we try to connect to you." riiigghhtt. i bet you idiots are chatting away while eating some cheeseburger of yours. connect my arse. no way in hell was i going to wait.

no. 2: whenever there's such problem at home, i always depend on my sis to fix it. i call her the telephone goddess. reason being? she can call up the person in charge and the next thing you know, they'll send men down to my house in a jiffy. voila. problem fixed. so in this case, i thought, why not leave it to my sis instead? im sure she'll drop by someday and she'll settle this problem. in the meantime why not just use the computer?

that i did. FOR 2 FRIGGIN' DAYS.

apparently, my sis did not even drop by and i've been spending the past few days without tv. it wasn't that bad until i realised i had missed the tv show, the mentalist. boy, that was the last straw. i had enough of the no tv nonsense and i knew i had to take action. so today, i sat down on the couch and dialled those goddamn numbers. i was about to stretch my legs to prepare myself for the whole pleasewaitwhilewetrytoconnecttoyou bullshit when out of nowhere, i heard a man's voice. like a real man's voice. not those recorded ones but a real one. amazing. i guess they weren't eating cheeseburgers at the other end afterall.

"hello?"

"yes, how can i be of assistance?"

"well, i was watching the tv when it turned blank. it says here that its unable to locate the signal."

"okay ma'am. now how do i address you?"

"just call me widad"

"okay ms widad, maybe you wanna try switching off the main switch? you might also wanna pull out the plugs at the back and then wait for awhile before connecting them again."

"alrighty give me a minute."

now, i may be doing whatever he told me to but at the back of my mind i thought this guy was making a fool out of me. i mean honestly, you think pulling a bunch of plugs and attaching them back will make help locate the signal? i thought signals had to do with the whole antenna thing! what a joke.

"okay im done but i don't think its working. nothing's appearing. are you sure about this?"

"yes just wait for a while more."

"but nothing's app...ohhh wait IT DOES WORKS!"

"there you go."

unbelievable. i can't believe i suffered the past few days without tv for nothing. all i had to frigging do was to just switch off the goddamn switch and pull out those goddamn plugs. man, kinda brings patheticness to a whole new level doesn't it?

lesson learnt? never wait nor procrastinate nor understimate these company people. cause you'll only end up spending the night blogging about what an idiot you are.
