One Hundred and Sixty Eight Hours Remain

Mood: World-weary

Yesterday (A few minutes before the hour hand stroke at 12 AM, actually), was Mother's Day. Since yesterday was Mother's Day, my family and a few of our relatives had decided to go on an outing. The venue was Al-Ma'ather Park (again) located inside King Faisal Hospital. The fee was 2 SR per head. The "we are the member's acquaintances, so let us in" technique didn't work, unfortunately.

Our post-lunch consisted of porridge, bread (I dunno what kind), Aunt's special chocolate cake, Pralines 'n Cream and Strawberry Sorbet Ice Cream from Baskin Robins, softdrinks and water. I do not drink softdrinks anymore, so I chose water instead. The strawberry ice cream was glorious.

They discussed about life. It was boring. I only listened to them occasionally; I was listening to music until the outing ended. BTW, I also had fun listening to YUI's albums. Especially the songs, Blue Wind and Tomorrow's Way.

We arrived home after a couple of hours. It was okay. I also experienced taking a nap under the Phoenix Dactylifera. Well, it wasn't a nap actually. It was more like a "lie down and rest for a few minutes".

Oh yeah, on our way home, I also learned that we may leave this country in a week. I'm not quite sure yet. I don't feel like going back to the Philippines yet. If the flight may be moved on a later date, at around 25-30th, I'd be totally happy. Please, let me stay here for a while.

Bidding Farewell to the 18 Year Old Alain

Time has passed by without me even realizing. I feel... sick. Not because of a virus that have penetrated my body or something, but it feels like I have leaped through time. It's an unpleasant feeling, really. I really want to scream, "Bring back my childhood!" right now, but then again...

Relatives visited our place a while ago. They brought food, food and more food. I really liked the chocolate ice cream cake my aunt brought. I wanted to take a picture of it, but the cake diminished before I could get a shot. Damn. Also, my cousins brought their laptops with them, leeching our internet connection. I was like... "This is insanity." Four, no. FIVE! personal computers were raping the internet connection! Mine, our desktop, two of my cousin's, and lastly, my sister's. My download speed has slowed down by a hundredfold, unfortunately. I also had a hard time fixing my cousin's wireless. Well, my dad was the one who solved the problem, actually. But, I still think that my dad wouldn't have done it if it wasn't because of me. Figures...

It was fun, nonetheless. We played DotA. A single round; two on two. And yes, we won. To be honest, they weren't that much of a challenge.

My relatives left in a few hours, with the ice cream cake and ice cream leftover in the fridge. My aunt also gave me SR 100. Finally, I can buy that 500GB HDD. I'm going to download stuff to my heart's content before leaving. Only 12 days remain, and I'm leaving for the Philippines again, sad to say. Also, I have to spend my summer in the Philippines. This is the worst...
