Everyday the phone rings and everyday I answer it hoping my effort won't be for nothing. But of course, it's the same damn number. I answer only to hear the busy tone. Upon a quick search in ever reliable Google, I found a forum board of some sort discussing the same calls they get from this number. Ack! I'd rather get telemarketers than this nonsense.

After three weeks of freedom from my braces, I finally have wire retainers. The dentist and her assistant must have told me to ONLY take it off when I'm eating. They know me too well. Although it is less obtrusive than my braces, I feel more uncomfortable with it. And just like the same appliances that block the movement of my tongue before, it results in some sort of lisp or unrecognizable words.

It's Canada Day on July 1 and it translates into a long a weekend. Yey! Unfortunately, I can't leave the house, at least not for the whole day like I would normally do, due to familial obligations. He agreed to keep me company and probably just watch movies and eat pizza for the whole day. My parents are going camping and my siblings have a life of their own.
What I would really like to do is go to the park and play with a Frisbee or badminton. We don't have either.
Maybe I was just inspired while watching Wimbledon to move around.

I didn't gain a single pound while on my summer break. If anything, I lost at least two. Ack!

kiddy adventures
After 5 days of staying at home and not doing ANYTHING summery, the weekend balanced my inactive life.
We went to the arcade, which to my dismay did not have any fighting games to satisfy my sometimes violent self. Fortunately though, they had one of those deals wherein for $25, you can play for four hours. Woo hoo! We initially thought that four hours will eventually bore us but that didn't happen. We were even a bit sad when it went by so fast.
I am proud to say that my shooting skills was way better than his. He only beat me in the end because it's kind of tiring to hold the gun straight. And another accomplishment was finally racing with 7 other people and not being the last one. On our way home, he even said "I can't believe you know how to drive like that. It made me like you more". Hahaha. Bonus points for me. :D
As for Sunday, it was spent with him at the church and at a kid's party in the park. I'm really happy that I did go to church because they had a speaker that lived a life one can only imagine. It really takes an interesting story/person to keep my attention for longer than 30 minutes. After that, we headed to the park which was one of the biggest I've ever been to. I wish I had a bike to explore it or at least a mat to just relax in. The highlight of that park trip was unfortunately when he decided to leave me sitting by myself to sleep for a bit. He woke up with bird poo on his face. Hahaha. They say it's luck, I say otherwise.

After watching SYTYCD, I fell in love with this song: Dancing by Elisa.

I'm dancing in the room as if I was in the woods with you
No need for anything but music
Music's the reason why I know time still exists

q&a
As I requested, Paul interviewed me. I hope my answers made sense. I just realized that I can never be interviewed because my answer will always be vague or safe. ;)
1. Was there any college course you wanted other than nursing? Why do you want that?
If talent, skills and creativity would not be a problem, I would have loved to take something art related. I was properly introduced to art when I was in Grade 9 (first year hs). There's just something about art that's challenging and liberating. Unfortunately, I was somewhat of a perfectionist which did not really work since I'm not naturally artistic. Errr.
2. What would make you leave Canada and decide to stay in the Philippines for good?
If I'll have the same opportunities and perks of living in Philippines as I do here in Canada. If I list all of those, I might end up sounding like an ungrateful child.
3. What's your typical day like? What do you want to change from it? Why?
Since I am unemployed (until July), my typical day is lounging around the house. I wake up, eat, daily dose of internet-related stuff, sing karaoke, watch TV, look after my grandma and do some chores. As much as I love staying home, I get restless and start to imagine all the things I could do. I would love to go bowling, play in the arcade, go to parks, visit art museums, have dinner/lunch dates (friends) or walk around downtown. ANYTHING but nothing. Life at the moment is monotonous and I need it to change because this will be the last summer break I get once I start working.
4. What's the nastiest thing you have ever done to a guy? Why?
I don't think anything I have done to a guy would be qualified as nasty. ;) Is that being too safe? Haha. I might have to get back to this question another time. :D
5. What's the most daring thing you've done so far?
This unfortunately will affirm the fact that I am quite boring. I don't think I have done anything that will be considered daring by myself or those that personally knows me. It would be fun to ask them because maybe, just maybe, I have in fact stepped out of my box every now and then.
So yes, the last two questions I failed. Haha. Thanks for the questions Paul, I will have to do something about those ones and maybe I'll have a better answer next time. ;)
