Disappointments and empty promises

00:17 , , 0 Comments

Sundays were never an event or anything special for my family - or so I thought. I guess my parents' new year's resolution is to keep the family close by eating together and spending the weekends together. I have nothing against that, I actually think it's great! Taking time to spend time with each other but then at home, we barely see each other. Not that our house is some kind of a palace or something but we'd opt to stay in our rooms and spend the day with our bed, phone or laptop. I guess they should try harder.

Moving on, we did what we always do on Sundays (whenever we get the time to do so), we went to mass then ate in some restaurant. I was having fun and all, we all laughed at Cafaye while eating and we also made fun of how slow the service was. See, each time a dish was served, we would all eat it but then the service is so slow that when the next dish comes, it's like we had nothing. Hahahaha We're such a monster family.

To end out day out with the family, my mom treated us Starbucks, yum! Everyone placed their orders and I got my non-fat, no whip, peppermint mocha, hot. I understood how it was taking longer than usual since there were only two baristas working with the drinks, we had to leave already but the drinks were not yet done so we waited for a couple more minutes. The moment our drinks were placed on the bar, we got our drinks then walked to the car - we were rushing because my dad's patience is surprisingly short.

I was so happy to end the day with my favorite drink from my favorite coffee shop but then when I took a sip, DISAPPOINTMENT. It was nowhere near my non-fat, no whip, peppermint mocha, hot! It was freaking MILK WITH ESPRESSO SHOTS where's the peppermint and mocha in that? OH. MY. GOD. This fucking ruined my day, I could not believe it. It could have been a mistake but OH MY GOD, ang tanga ng hayup na barista na yun for her not to notice that the drink was missing its key fucking ingredients! So there, that ruined my night. I'm planning to go back to the Starbucks in Shangri-la, ground floor and complain about the girl. Tell them how unhappy I was and how her mistake ruined my evening.

See, fate was on a roll, it didn't want to stop with ruining my drink, it went on and on. I thought I was about to snap but thank God I was able to at least pretend I was listening. So, you know how your parents sometimes talk about their dreams and ambitions with you? Yeah, I hate that. To me, they're empty promises that I know won't be happening. Ang sarap lang nya pakinggan, masaya maniwala pero masakit umasa. Alam mo yung naniniwala ka na, sinabi mo na sa mga kaibigan mo pero bigalang babawiin kasi hindi pala nila kaya itupad? Oo, naiintindihan ko sila pero sana siniguro muna nila na kaya nilang panindigan mga sinasabi nila bago nila ipangako. Masakit kasi, panira ng tiwala. Kanina, labas-pasok lang sa tenga ko mga pangarap nila para sa buong pamilya. Ayoko nang umasa na mangyayari yun, ayoko nang maniwala na kaya nila kasi dati na akong umasa sa mga pangarap nila. Hanggang ngayon, pangarap parin. So anong gagawin natin sa mga buhay natin? Mangangarap nalang ba tayo? Ako kasi, ayoko e, gusto ko yung nangyayari mga panagarap ko.


I hope the week won't be filled with these emotions alone, I want to be happy sometime this week.

Some say he’s half man half fish, others say he’s more of a seventy/thirty split. Either way he’s a fishy bastard.
