Woke Up On The Wrong Side Of The Bed...

First of all, I woke up or rather was forced to try and get up coz my right leg was cramping painfully. [AS IN] It hurt. I can't even move my leg. I was just trying to let the pain go away. I swear I can feel the muscles in my leg moving or whatever...it was painful. I was in pain for almost 30 minutes. On and Off. And it's not the first time this has happened. From time to time, it would happen. AND only on my right leg. Is this an early sign of a rheumatism [spell check]?

Second, I was looking for the CDs I bought recently and found out my sister brought them to her office again. Haaaay. I am this close to hiding my CDs. Oh well...

Third, finding out that my parents were gambling. I mean, playing cards. Whatever. They know I don't like it. Told them about it. They just won't listen. Parents are really hard to handle. Arrrggghhh.

Fourth, discovering that my dad is smoking again...haaay...he just came from a heart bypass for crying out loud. I am angry coz he doesn't seem to care about the people who care about him. Especially my relatives from the US who came up with $5000 so he could have his operation. I have this feeling of resentment towards my parents about it. Haaaay.

I don't wanna cry about it but I feel crying about it. Sheesh. I have to get out of here.

>>>Thanks Pia.

Read it and weep...well not really...

I started reading FIREBIRD by Janice Graham last Sunday and finished it earlier today [around 4am-ish]. Anyhoo, it is basically a love story. Started rather slow but it picked up after several chapters. It even made me shed a tear or two. And it's not a tear-jerker story but I guess, I'm just a cry-baby. I read it at home, at work, in bed...read it whenever I had free time. Which I haven't done in while. I have quite a number of books to read. You can check out my mini-library for the books that I have/haven't read. Which reminds me, I have to update that list...hah!

Red Dragon by Thomas Harris is next...

Thank GOD it's Friday...yeeha.
