Today, after a short day in class because of just a test which i've completed in about 15min instead of an hour, i had to wait for an agonising 2 hours for tennis to start.
oh my lord...

i went to the computer lab to past the time after sittin alone in the cafe
for about half an hour, alone in a long stretch of table with 8 sits occupying it.
haha.

the point is,
Uncle Polo is to stop over today at 550pm.
I didnt know he came from philippines and back to jakarta.
woaaa... i thought otherwise.
so, i really thought of gettin ahead after tennis practice.

Tennis was awesome. haha. met some new girls that are madly insane.
i dont really find their jokes funny or other things that they laugh at. haha.
guess i wasnt in the mood.
I love tennis! whack... my love for it is reviving! Well, at least now, I
know how to play already. unlike before, i was still pickin up the basics.
i love the feelin when the ball comes up to you and there's this special sounds it makes. haha.
i caught that sound time and time again esp once when i missed the ball. wahahhaha...
oh man, u gotta play it so you'll understand the excitement.
other than the wooshing pass of the ball against the racket,
i love running for it too! hahahaha...
running for the ball from one side to another and hittin it with the racket.
AMAZING! hehehehe..
opponents might hate it cz u ran from one end of the court to another, but for me, it's love babeh! woot! hehehehe =D

so to the point.
i left school at 7pm. I could be there all night long I swear but, i just wanna meet uncle pol before he goes to freakin phils. (ended up, he came from phils, he's goin back to Jakarta for WORK! uggggh. meron pa naman akong sinulat para kay chemae and i wrote that infront of uncle pol! whaaaack!) plus, dinner's on dad! wahahaha...
since my school is near the airport, also, ive asked my classmates how to reach there the fastest, it took me about 10min to reach. =D

AWE... damn. Airports. I love airports. hahaha...
gives me so much aspiration, dreams, hopes, adventures, thrills, good deals, wide spaces, luggages of different sizes and colors, the sexy stewardess wantin me to go shed off more fats, the tax free shopping, the bright lights, the huge birds (planes) from different continents and all those details, i call their tatoo = arts of their designs and many more... to end it, I love lookin at the arrival and departure list. And as I was waitin for dad, i noticed this flight:
New York -JFK. (John Forever Karen? haha. yes... ok. i was thinkin of wrds to fit in the initials.)
new york.... den JFK. that caught my attention twice.
I was more glued to new york than any other flights. New york! soon! hahahaha...

so the point is. (yet again! hahahaha)
It's been months or so years that my dad and I really bonded.
You think it's weird yea? Cz afterall he's my dad. haha.
But thing is, we dont really talk at all.
He goes to work when im usually still asleep since ive started college, comes home from work, when im up or home before he does, i do the "mano" den after that, ayon na. it ends there. we dont really talk about our life and so on.
So you lucky guys out there, be thankful cz I ask "how are you" and things like that.
And honestly, my family, we dont really do that already. huhu. sad i noe.
watever.

the hour ride from airport to home made my dad talk to me. LOL. =p
i think....... he was the one who sta..
oh nO!, twas me who asked him first. cz, we didnt know how to go home by public bus.
since 2 years back, my friends and I sent Louise by bus, I found a short cut of goin home.
I asked dad for uncle polo's age, their age gap. and, Gosh, as im typing this, i cant believe dad
ELABORATES! hahahaha... i dont need to ask him heaps of questions to keep him goin on to talk and talk aka keep the conversation goin and i love that. i hope my guy does the same. yes, MY GUY, cz he shouldnt be boring. uhh... no way.
then i knew that their age gap is 12 years apart.
way much bigger than my younger sis and i.
also, he's the 2nd among the 8 siblings.
woa... another link to me.
and from there...
talked about Chemae's salary. lol
it then flowed to education.
and from this year, ive about 7 years to go for my degree.
painful freakin long wait.
dad said this,
"endure the pain now and enjoy later"
OR
"enjoy now and endure the pain later....
PERO masmahirap yon!"
(and obviously he doesnt want me to do that cz he was doing all those weird hand gestures and
i noe, his face is sayin "NO KAREN. HUWAG GANON."
and oh yea, thank God dad isnt sarcastic at all.
he was really serious and sincere about the whole talk that's why he moved me.
awe... YES FOLKS! MY DAD MOVED ME.

ive confessed my hatred in mechnical. not necesarrily engineering.
dad opened up doors for me on how to enhance, how companies run and choose their people,
how they help their ppl and all that...
and yes, although it takes me a long time to get dat degree, i told my dad, that THAT is my goal.
I keep saying that really. I'm scared. I really want a degree... after what dad keeps telling me and all. I want a stable and comfortable life and that DEGREE will guarantee it. (aww, it rhymes)
dad just kept saying abt the degree again and again.
degree: how it help you, salary, work....
and then he relates it to himself...
( i just noticed dad and I just talk about education.)

there was a point where he was strict.
cz he never really say anything about my part time job.
other than the good- filling food at starbucks.
haha.
thats when i knew dad wasnt really agreeing to my part time job.
there was a guilty side of me cz i do try to fit in work during sch days...
and i was convincing him that my grades are good...
hey,i never skip sch just for work. im NEVER goin to do that. NEVER.
then also, its not bcz of work, but bcz of inconsistency and poor management, i flunk a test last sem. so erm, that hurt. heh...
parang, when dad became strict with his tone of voice, all the stupid things i did became clear to me. woa.... yes. -_-"

den even at home.
as im typing this DEGREE, again is the topic.
since mom shares her joys for nikki's good grades since they hired this uni student as nikki's tutor. i always retreat (as how nikki tells me) to my room when her tuition teacher comes. i just prefer lockin in there rather than socialising with my sister's tutor. ngeek. haha. madistorbo ko pa cla.

oh yea, i learnt something about dad too.
he's the quiet type. he said my mom is the opposite of him. hahaha...
mom's gd at managing and talkin while dad prefers doin the job/ practical.
hehehe..
he doesnt like debates.

hey, i really want that degree in 7 years.
i hope nothing delays me just like the book "where rainbow ends."
Dad, thanks for inspirin your eldest daughter. (im too shy to say this in person.heh...)

ppl! earn urself at least a degree if u want a secure and comfy life!
=) im here for ur support! =D

I love y'all!
Godbless!
Achieve ur dreams!
Carpe diem!
