avoidance

i was in line at a fast food when i suddenly smelled something unpleasant...  : }

i immediately moved to the farthest queue.

then a young lady asked me:  'are you in line?'

wahaha...  in my desire to move as far as i could, i did not even stand in alignment with my new queue.  i was a bit to the right...  :"O

anyway, i told the girl i was and she stood behind me.

then her companion arrived.  he wanted her to transfer to the queue i left.  it was the shortest.

i butt in:  'there's a bad smell there...'

young lady:  'yeah!  i smelled it, too, that's why i transferred here.'

the nose knows nos...  ; p

i was walking behind a mom and her children this morning, a baby on her arms and a little girl by her side.

the little girl kept on singing despacito.  the thing is, she was singing only one line, just one word actually.  it was just  '♩ ♪  despacito  ♫ ♬'  over and over again.

it made me feel uneasy, wahaha.  it was like you're mid-movement and suddenly you freeze.

when the little girl went at it for the nth time, i continued the song:

'♩ ♪  quiero respirar tu cuello despacito
deja que te diga cosas al oído
para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo  ♫ ♬'

then i overtook them.

i heard the little girl ask, 'mama, who is that person?'

the mom just chuckled.

on my end, i felt such a release, hahaha.

i remembered one of those lines that for reasons i don't know randomly comes to my mind every now and then:

'there is nothing like an itch that you can reach.'

cue james brown.

'♩ ♪  i feel good
ta na na na na na nan  ♫ ♬'

;")

upset

couple watching TV...

wife:  'these military men are so touchy...'

husband, a retired military officer, quickly objects:  'that's not true!  military men are very understanding!'

wife:  'well, that is my observation...'

husband:  'your observation is not accurate.'

wife:  'that is my opinion...  military men easily take offense...'

husband:  'your opinion is unfair!  military personnel are one of the most understanding, if not the most understanding.  they're unflappable.  you have to think clearly because lives are on the line.  you consider so many things.  you put up with so much.  otherwise your people could get killed; they could get wounded.'

wife:  'but that doesn't mean they don't get touchy.'

husband:  'you civilians don't understand these things!'

uhm, i think the husband just demonstrated the wife's point...  peace...  ; )

ants

four nights ago, i was awakened by a weird feeling on my legs.  i turn the light on and see antsssS on my bedsheet.  waaahhh!!!  i changed the sheets right away.

following night, it recurred!

i googled natural ant repellents.  there were many:  lemon, cucumber peel, vinegar, peppermint, lavender oil...

i didn't have lavender oil but i have lavender body wash.  worth a try.  i got this container of car freshener and poured in body wash.  i placed the container on the foot side of my bed.

well, for the last two night there have been no ants on my bed.

sharing...

forever friend

wanted to go with my sister this afternoon because i wanted to eat at mcdonald's.  nope, it's not because of the food.  it's because of a toy.  they currently have a hello kitty kettle in their happy meals and i wanted one...  :")

i wasn't able to finish what i was doing early enough, however, so i told her i'll just drop by mcdonald's next week.

guess what, when she came home she had a hello kitty kettle for me!  awww!  sweet!  <3 <3 <3

she's not really a mcdonald's girl.  she usually gets pizza or noodles or pastries.  this time she got a happy meal just so i could have a hello kitty kettle.

i'm sooo happy...  i'm sooo thankful...  : )

hooray for sisters...  : D
