De-bratting in Progress

Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly. -St. Francis de Sales

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCKKKK!!!

I woke up yesterday with a smile, thinking what a great weekend this will be, my sister and I can go wine tasting at Hunter Valley (more like whine chugging) or hit the beach. But I thought I should do my chores first so going out will be my prize! I knew I needed to refold the clothes in my closet (because it should be arranged by style and color!) and so I got out of bed and moved towards my closet and OMG TWILIGHT ZONE!!!! there were tiny tiny black wormy creepy crawlies with rapelling skills all over my clothes and closet!!!! EEEYYUCKKKKKK!!!! Some were hanging from the ceiling from inside the closet, some were crawling on my clothes and the side doors, some were just being totally annoying and jumping! They looked like tiny wrigglers but black and when you touched them they rolled over and pretended to be dead. I swear they look like tiny lint until they start crawling like worms...you know how when you bend your fingers up and down that's how they move!! iiiiccck goosebumps!

And I found one on my hair so I started screaming and jumping around like crazy! Some really really gross creepy crawly must've laid eggs in my closet and yesterday was when they all hatched...

So I grabbed some insect spray and went mental until I was choking on the fumes, then Kuya Eric took out the vacuum cleaner and started vacuuming the little suckers and we're singing the Ghostbusters theme. tananantantanan tanananananantananantantanan... when there's something strange in your neighborhood who you gonna call... Ghostbusters! hehehe. And then my sister bought me another can (I said the other bug spray didn't work... I'm sure it did it's just my overactive imagination) and I sprayed and sprayed and sprayed.

Now I have this really mental task of washing ALL my clothes :( While I was taking out my tops I got really scared and asked Kuya E..."I wonder what the mommy looks like!" and Kuya E goes "don't worry there won't be a mommy there" I wonder why I believed him that moment but it worked! I went back to scooping clothes out but I was still secretly thinking a big killer worm with massive teeth will spring out and bite me. I watch to many horror movies!!!

It's Sunday now, I'm not even halfway through my laundry and I can't find any black ickies left in the closet but I think they've just temporarily retreated and when I'm sleeping they'll come get me! The frenchies (Kuya Eric and Frederic) were saying I don't need to wash every single piece of clothing but the thought of some microscopic black worm crawling on me wins hands down!!! And well it is lent... maybe this can be my penance! I just hope I don't have to do laundry for 40 days!!!

I miss Manila and the comforts of home... mom sent me a text message saying she wishes she was there to help me and me actually thinking the same thing brings my de-bratting score down to -5.

On the plus side, I was able to paint while waiting for the dryer and washing machine... I saw this painting on the net and copied it (well not totally)... the girl looks a bit odd but since the colours are a bit surreal, I like it :)

You are the World


Completion, Good Reward.


The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.


The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.
