god freaking damn it i really miss jinan. i don't even know what ABOUT it i miss the most; maybe it's the friends... maybe it's the freedom and independence. anyways, whatever it is, I DON'T HAVE IT HERE IN HONG KONG. what i have instead is a family of about 8 constantly bickering, throwing insults and making subversive snide comments under wasted breath. SO STUPID. i am at my wits end; i can't even imagine how my aunt feels, having to live with an amnesiac grandfather and an extremely grouchy grandma who HATES said grandpa. hong kong itself is brilliant, food EVERYWHERE... i uh, found some philly cream cheese in the grocery store (which they didn't have in jinan) and promptly bought some wheat buns (which is also nonexistent in jinan) and ATE THE ENTIRE BLOCK OF CREAM CHEESE IN TWO DAYS. nomnomnom.
that's right. that's what deprivation will do to you, man, it'll drive you insane and make you binge like bloody hell on what you've been missing.
that being said, i wish i could binge on my friends.
alison, hofit, ana, kim, everybody who is reading this- please please please leave me some love on the facebook, because internet is fucking limited and aside from ladyboy massages and a constant flow of heavily liquored drinks in the philippines, it's the only and best kind of relief i can get: the mental kind.
i didn't realize that my family was so irritating. it didn't used to be this way. grandpa has gotten SO foggy. it's really upsetting. and my grandma is still sharp as a tack and she is incredibly irritated with him. she refuses to sit near him. she refuses to look at him or talk to him. i don't even want to get into it. long story short, tensions are running super high. this is my once in a life time chance to have the entire family together, going on a vacation together... and it's already bordering on HELL... and the said vacation hasn't even really started.
i really can't wait to get home. i have been dreaming of pizza, speaking english with familiar faces, and wireless internet.
i'm a simple girl.
happy holidays, everybody. talk to you soon.
and see you in 2009.
