See, I have friends everywhere including China or Hong Kong, specifically. I've managed to find one of those friends by going through my old emails. The original blog that the email linked to was abandoned, but thankfully, my friend put up a link to her new one. It's xanga.

So I may actually keep up my xanga blog afterall. Thus, my HK friends know what's going on with me. However, I will have to keep my English complexity to a minimum because there is always a chance that we'll lose contact again if one cannot understand the other. I already have trouble with her page because it's all Chinese, much like Kuri-chan's new 'tang blog. =P Besides, she/they could count this as a way to pratice their english. ;)

But of course, I shall try to communicate with her about it. She may not 'recognize' me at all. Eh, I shall see.

Ciao!

I forgot to mention: my widget. You can contact me and all my subscribers in one go by using my widget. ;) Just use your phone and text "UP SDOTTY" or "ALERT SDOTTY" with your message afterwards. Send it to 41411 and voila! You're done. You have just contacted a dot who-knows-how-many miles away. Good. job. ;D

Wow, imagine if all of us got together on one widget...we'd be contacting everyone across the country, across the world. Awesome.

So...I found somthing to give my mom. Remember how the trip was a bust? I knew it was going to hang over my hea and she'd bring it up sometime soon/far/who knows? I went around looking for things online (just looking really) and I came across this site. I browsed a bit, picked something, contacted the owner. After a series of emails, my money has been sent and I will be getting the package/envelope/li'l box in the next few days. ^-^ I'll be getting it somethime this week and I can't wait!

While I was typing the paragraph above, self-doubt hit me like hail--hard and surprising and jolting. What if something goes wrong? What if I got tricked? What if I never get anything? Were those testimonials real? But no, I shall not think of these things. I will finish the last drops of my chowder and go to sleep easy tonight.

See ya'll later. Bye.

First of all, I'm in the bathroom typing this. Don't ask me why, I am. So I have no chair and no true stability as I type on the laptop perched on the very edge.

Second of all, ah, yes, my title. I will explain to you my frustration, beginning with several occurrences.

Earlier in the week, on Sat. to be exact, I had taked to V and we had decided that he would burn the dance music for me. I would go get on Fri. (today) afternoon. On...Wed.?, my mother forgets to bring her cell to work and he calls her cell. His voicemail was something to the effect of, "Hey (my mom), I have (theDot)'s CD. Are you free after work to take it?" I actually played the voicemail from my mom's cell through my cell so my mom could hear it at work. Yesterday afternoon: somehow the music has gone over to V's wife, C, and she now holds it for me/us. I called my mother to make sure that 1.) no, she hadn't gotten the music on Wed. 2.)who was getting it on Fri.? We talk it out and she has insisted on getting the music from C herself. Okay.

This morning: I'm sitting by the towels and she's washing her face. We're discussing who's bringing what for tonight. Suddenly, she goes...

She: What about the music?
Me: Aren'y you getting it?
She: No. You have to respoinsible for yourself!
Me: Huh? 0.0 What are you talking about? (I try to stimulate her mind) Weren't you going to Cindy's to get it?
She: No, that's the VCD, not the CD!
Me: What are you talking about?
She: The VCD of last year's performance! It's not the CD. You have to responsible, you know! How can you not get the CD? Tday's the performance and you didn't go get the music? How can you do that? (tirade of how stupid I was not to do anything about the music, la-di-da)
Me: (WTF?) Uh, mom. (stimulation yet again) What were you and Vincent talking about?
She: THe VCD!
Me: (What? So there's a CD and a VCD...) I did talk to V. I talked to V and he's getting the music for me. I'm supposed to get it today!
She: No, that's the VCD!
Me: I talked to V!
She: That's the VCD!
(this goes on~5 min. later~)
Me: I talked to V on Sat. about the music. He's doing it for me and I'm going to get it today!
She...

It's most definitely not cleared up yet, but she's getting sheepish so I know we're getting somewhere. As far as I know, V still has the CD and will be waiting for me at my dance school. And apparently, my mother will be getting the VCD from C today...

A few minutes later~

She: Oh, he called this morning!
Me: ... (Maybe we can clear this up)
She: (on the phone) ...Hi! ...Were you talking about the VCD or the CD?...Uh-huh...Oh...

Hehehehe. There is no VCD. Hehehe. Miss I'm-better-than-anyone-else has beeen shown UP! But of course, it won't last. It didn't. Almost from the sec. she put down the phone, she got snappy with me. Just because you're embarassed, doesn't mean you can treat me the way you do.

She thinks that in order to keep order/control/power, she can never be wrong, she can never say sorry. If you had a bad day and got sharp with your children, thus, making him or her tear up, it's okay to say sorry. It's okay, "Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie. Mommy didn't mean yell at you." Hugs 'n Kisses and the little girl will be smiling again. Is that so wrong? There's very little that a girl needs to be happy, to smile, to laugh.

Hah. It's funny. I can take discipline. If I went to Military school or the army, heh, I'd last. Most definitely. I want to go to private school, boarding school, military school, the army. I wonder why is that? Anyway, she's said this before, "I really to disicpline you. Be strict." I laughed. I can take discipline, but she's not a goood one for doling it out. She doesn't get that. *sigh* She doesn't get many things...I see and no one else sees. ELEH.

Gotta go. Buh-bye~!

So...performance is tomorrow. ^-^ Turns out I may not be paid after all. *shrug* Whatever.

I have a lot to do. much is on my mind, crowding the little alleys available and complicating the maze even more than ever. I must remember *counts fingers* costumes, make-up, spears, plates, two pairs of shoes...what else? Ah, my contacts! And, my hair stuff--bun net, extra bobby pins. Then, I have to go pick u0p the music and headdresses tomorrow...I better not forget! >.< Eek. It would be horrible if I did.

And on top of that, I have to remember the new positions for the dance. It was so annoying how CZ wouldn't cooperate. She kept complaining about how cold she was even though she had wanted to stay in that part of the park. I had wanted us in the grassy area, in the SUN, nice and warm with no one blocking our way or vice versa. I wanted to rehearse for real so we would know exactly what to do. But no, she didn't want to and we got confused several times over this and that. *sigh* But we got it done. Pretty much.

Well, we walked about a mile up to 14th St. where we saw the Strand bookstore and they were having a sale--books from $.48-$1. ;) I had a couple of dollars in my pocket, she had none so I bought a couple of things for us. I found most of them, got some good stuff--Sigmund Freud, Winston Churchill, Homer, 'Society & Democracy in Gemany', a Law book, a book of primary documents. Good work for a day, given my time limit. I want to go back soon and peruse the offerings more diligently for treasures I could have missed. ^-^

Ah, well. I've got to get to sleep. Big day tomorrow. ;)
