I have officially squandered my allowance. Well, the word 'squandered' implies that it's all gone to hell and every cent has been spent frivolously. I doubt my meals and metrocards go under those categories. Nonetheless, it's all gone.

I pooled the bucks from all those months together and tried saving it. But things kept coming up, over and over until 5 minutes ago, I used my last cent for my afternoon tea. Whoop-ee.

But it is nice. A cream cheese, turkey, carrots, cucumber, spinach on seven-grain bread. Plus, Doritos nachos and Arizona green tea. ^-^ Pretty good. Yummy. Only I have no more cent-s, let alone dol-lars.

Anyway, I have a little challenge for you: anybody able to tell me what's wrong with my layout? Why are my double mods lopsided? The right mods are stuck on the bottom below my entry/comments. Gimme your theories! Cuz I need the help. ;P

Peace!

Oh my gosh, I have a lot to talk about. Please refrain from commenting about the phrase I used in the beginning of the prev. sentence.

First of all, the trip was a bust. We ended up spending a lot of time on travel rather than play. According to my calculations, we should have gotten there by one, two at the latest with However, I'd forgotten one thing. Mother-master and her miraculous hearing, or lack thereof. Instead, we got there by 3 o'clock and C had told us she was leaving at 4:30pm. How wonderful.

Second on the list is that my mother has hit a new low! It's incredible the way she got so freakin' dramatic over nothing. It's a hilarious story. Okay, let me get started...

So a little conversation about who should ask for directions got out of hand. Sorry if I didn't want to go into a shady Psychic/Tarot reading shop for directions and there were plenty of other shops around. Her reason was that this was my trip and I had brought them there, therefore I had to.

I turned a corner, went into a Sports memorabilia shop, asked for directions and go it. I came out, said crossly to my mother, "You don't have to come if you don't want to." C and I turned and began walking. She was always slower than us so we didn't notice anything at first. As always I turned around after a couple of steps so she could catch up. Know what I found? A little child called my mother walking away in the other direction.

I sighed, told C to wait there for me, and retraced my steps. I went all the way back to the SIR (Staten Island Railroad) station where I found her leaning on the railing halfway down to the platform. When I walked up to her, she turned he back to me and said, "I'm not talking to you." This was nothing new since she always throws tantrums and I have to go after her/deal with it. That line of hers has been used many, many times. I went on to my usual routine to weasel her out of it.

Then she started asking for an apology. "Say sorry." "Say sorry, mommy." This being Mother's Day, I complied. Three times. Of which she claimed she didn't hear and demanded it again. "I didn't hear you." This went on for quite some time. Of course, I didn't say it again after the third time, because she was being ridiculous and I wasn't going to waste my breath just so her ego could be happy.

Eventually, it got to this: "If you don't say it Im going to jump." She motioned at the railing and the tracks beneath. I chuckled and basically said, "Go ahead." I mean, who was dumb enough to go through with the threat?

*** Note: I'm...laughing. Ooh, I can't breathe properly. Ah. ***

Oh, wait, I know the answer to that. My mother. (Oh, god, my tummy's starting to hurt.) She starts to climb up the railing (Oh...) and (oi, geez) lifts her leg over it. I'm staring her and grinning. When she starts to straddle the railing, I lift my hand to my mouth and play tattletale.

"Hey, there's a woman trying to jump onto the tracks!" Well, something to that effect. I was a little...preoccupied at the moment. (Hah!) She immediately came down and started shaking me. Kinda like "How could you say that?!" "Shut up, shut up!" I just doubled over with laughter. I bent down and held on to the rail for dear life as I gasped.

Oh my gosh. Seriously, who the heck would do that? Besides my mother? Go jump the tracks because they 'didn't' get an apology, which may I remind you she did? Seriously, imagine if she had a boyfriend who wouldn't give her a teddybear, she'd go jump a bridge. It was hilarious. A new low for her. XD Hah!

I couldn't stop laughing and gasping as we made our way out the door. Oh, god, it was crazy. Hahahahahahaha. *shakes head*

Oh, and that wasn't the only thing. Later on, she treid to argue with me that our Metrocards wouldn't work in Staten Island? Why? Cuz it wasn't a part of New York. Uh, yeah, it is! Hah!

Oh, funny day, funny day. But by no means, a fun day. Though I did go to Karaoke dinner for Mother's Day with my dad's side of the family last night. C went in my ma's place cuz her allergies had been creeping up over the week and er eyes + nose were red by then. Well, she hadn't wanted to go in the first place. Whatever.

Heh. That's a story for the years to come. Hah!

Oh, goodness me...I'm mighty tired. *yawn* Big day tomorrow. I'm bringing my mom to Staten Island for Mother's Day--the Great Hills Park! Sand, grass, sun...boating, I'll bring a badminton set, we'll have a great time. I'm sure of it. Besides, it isn't just going to be the two of us. My friend's mother went to China for a whole...month? and she's not going to be back until June so C is left all alone. We asked her and she's coming, too. I got off the phone with my gran about an hour ago and she said yes. ^-^ So that's four ladies going to have a girl's day out. =]

Oh, and I have another performance coming up. We'll be doing Peking Opera Weaponry (where I get to beat a girl back with a stick, er, spear) and a Xin Jiang dance. ^-^ Maybe I'll have pictures to post up.

I also got a DVD of my performance for the Downtown Dance Festival. I think that's what it's called...I don't remember, it was last summer. Let's see if I can get it up.

That's all for now. Ta-ta!

I think I'm sick. More specifically, I have an irritation in my throat. Bronchitis? Maybe. Dunno. May go to doctor tomorrow.
Imagine a dry mouth with a thick coated tongue and pain like a huge fishbone stuck in your throat every time you swallow.
--->That's me.<----

Anyway, don't forget to heck out my new WIDGET. Quote from prev. entry:

"You can subscribe to my textmark! I will be able to send a message, an update or whatever, to everyone at once. ^-^ Not to worry, I will NOT get your phone numbers so don't get scared I'll be calling you up at odd hours. XD And you won't pay anything extra besides your normal texting rate. Example: I have a text/IM thing on my phone for...200? mssges for a couple of dollars per month. And that's all I pay. No extra fee subscribe or get the messages. =P

I wasn't sure if you guys would go for this, but what the heck. Tell me what ya'll say."

End quote.

Peace!
