can you tell which one is moi? teehee. K, don't say anything. :D
so apparently when i was little, i looked sickly and i was always crying my tear glands dry. my family's theory is that my sister, who was a bit stronger than i was, always took stuff from me -- like food or milk -- so i was skinnier and more temperamental. *shrugs*
my family also called me "maldita" (loose translation: mean, snobby. it's actually a spanish word for wicked or the devil. eeks.) i think i'm still "maldita". my bro-in-law can attest to that. :D whoever thinks that i can't be mean... well, you've got a lot to learn about me. haha.
anywhos... i miss our old PI house. sometimes i google its address just to look at the neighborhood... it brings up so many memories -- both pleasant and unpleasant. i remember the gate that blocked my sister and i from joining the playing kids outside. the chico and kaymito trees whose fruits end up mostly on the ground. the house that was decorated with Christmas lights year-round... my sister and i used to turn them on and pretend that we were newscasters or singers. the orchids that my mom canNOT grow -- she swears they hate her. the old-school TV, stereo, electric fan. the sofas that we weren't allowed to sit on. the stuffed toys that hid behind their plastic bags. the little alley maybe seven or eight houses up the street that we used to cross to get to the store that sold ice candy. the RC church at the end of the street where we lit candles (i don't know if those were free) instead of paying attention to the sermon. so much come to mind but i'll stop there. :D
sighs.
i loved that segment of my life.
but i love my life now too.
wherever i end up in the future, i know i'll google my old SD addresses too... just to remember and appreciate where i've been. it's the SD era. :)
