For Once I Felt Contentment

My parents just got back from the States last Tuesday and as usual, it's a Filipino tradition to actually expect a pasalubong from your loved ones who got back from abroad. My parents went there for a conference and to visit my mom's side of the family. Before they left, they gave us tasks (mostly to me since I'm the eldest) so that we already know what to do while they're not around. True enough, my brothers and I didn't know what to do because it was the first time they left us 'parent-less' for two weeks. But wow, I can't believe we survived. Whew! Anyway, back to what I was saying, they promised to bring home iPads for us if we don't give them headaches while they're away. I really wanted that iPad for some reason. Maybe because it's a fad? I don't really know, but I wanted it--not to mention it's kind of pointless because I already have an iPhone. So yeah, I did what my parents wanted me to do, I even covered and labeled my younger brothers' books! Never in my life, I swear. I felt so responsible that day. Haha! Spending two weeks with my brothers made me realize a lot of things, I enjoyed the things I do not usually do and felt like an ate for the first time eveeeeer. I just couldn't believe I cared for my brothers THAT much.

My parents brought home the usual pasalubongs like chocolates, Ferrari ballpens, Porsche keychains (akala ko kotse na eh), Lakers pens and jerseys, and more. But what surprised me is when my dad took out two iPads from their bag--both were for my brothers. Believe me, it gave my the shock of my life. They bought me a really nice Gucci bag but I wasn't able to show them my appreciation that much because honestly, I was expecting an iPad. Maybe I just got used to having what my brothers have. It's a funny thing though, when we were still kids, I used to own pokemon and yugi-oh cards just like them. And I thought yeah, maybe I just didn't like feeling left out. It's just a bigger version of my iPhone anyway. Better, actually! They can't text and make calls with her iPads. Hah! I finally got over it! My brother gave up their iPods and gave it to me instead, I guess it's because they saw how down I am. Pfft, iPads are too fragile for me, I'm good with my super handy iPhone. ;)

Mom, I know you're reading this because you recently found out I have a blogspot account and this is you're new way of stalking me. Hahaha! Thank you so much for the Gucci bag, I love it!
