A 2 Hour Journey

Linda and I decided to go to a pet store together along with her mum and my two sisters.
She needed to buy a female roborovski hamster.
However, the store didn't sell them.
So, our 2 hour of wandering resulted into nothing but a cup of Red Mango frozen yogurt.

Filbert and Bean

I have two Red-eared sliders; Filbert and Bean.
I asked my mum if I can purchase items for my turtles, but she said no.
That sucks.
Purchasing at least $49 worth of items from Petco means free shipping, and I would like to dedicate that amount of money to my turtles.
I think it's worth the buy.
But my mother thinks likewise.
Aww. :'(
I hope she'll have a change of mind later.
Or I'll continue to persuade her until she gives in.
Mwahahahaha.
Wish me luck. :)

A List of To-Dos

Oh gosh.
Life is definitely a test.
A test of wits, determination, and courage.
My parents tell me: "You can't live a life without money. And where do you get that money? You work. And how do you get that job? By staying in school, and doing well."
They repeat it everyday, 24/7.
That puts a lot of pressure on me because they expect me to do well.
But what if I don't?
Then I will discourage them, and they will label me weak and useless.
Then I won't be a perfect picture they can brag about to their friends.
Aside from that burden, I also have others.
Three projects are coming up; one for social studies, one for writing class, and one for math class.
I also have three tests in June.
But I promise I will do well on these projects, and receive high marks on my tests.
Because then, my parents will be glad.
My teachers will be glad.
I will be glad.
We'd all be glad.

BUT

I do it mostly for my future.
And you should do things for your future too.
Don't do things to make others happy.
Do things that will make YOU happy.
Do things that will paint a better path for you.
Oh great.
Now I sound like Uncle Sam; "We want YOU for U.S. army."

Thanks for listening to me and my complaints.
I'm terribly sorry if I gave you a headache.

Waiting is Life

In life, all I mostly do is wait.
Right now, I'm waiting for my cousin to help me fix a game problem.
And waiting for my black bean plant to grow.
The list goes on.
Nothing much happened today, which is why I feel so lethargic.
I feel like Garfield, the fat orange cartoon cat.
I love him, but I don't love being him.
It would make any person feel useless to laze around and do nothing.
Or is that just me?
I feel useless when not doing anything.
That's why I'm blogging; to erase the feeling of not doing anything by typing.
I hope I make sense.
