So my Mom & I spent all day today cleaning and tidying-up the house because my godmother, whom I haven't seen in 5 years (more or less), is flying in from San Francisco and she's lodging in with us. It wasn't until around noon when things got interesting. I was cooking lunch while she was mopping the floor and while mopping, she started humming to the tune of some old ballad.

Me:Sino ka, si Snow White?
Mom:Hah, no. Si Cinderella ako.
Me:Asa. Cinderella's blonde!
Mom:Si Cinderella kaya ako! By day, naglilinis ng bahay, tapos pag-gabi rumarampa.
Me:Mommy, si Annie Batumbakal naman yan e.
Mom:*snickering* Annie Batumbakal haha! Oo nga no.
-continue work-
Me:Haha, ikaw si Cinderella ako si Snow White. Parehong naglilinis ng bahay, pag-gabi ikaw rumarampa, ako naman just waiting for someone to sweep me off my feet... And we both talk to cute little critters! *in that omg-so-cute-baby tone* 'Pretty bird!... Hello, squirrel!... Buffalo!!'
Mom:Hahaha! Gaga!

And so, that's how I'm gonna be spending most of my days until my papers are done. I'm so nervous, they're gonna take 3 viles of blood from me on Monday to test me for drugs, HIV & whatever. Omg, needles... I hate needles... I'm scared. =os

Life's giving me a painful lesson on patience -and it's hard.
