So, is moving out part of the independence path ?
Maybe it's the country you live in? If you were in the U.S.... you would d probably be taken because of your attractive intellectuality. By looks I wouldn't know... I don't know how you look to tell you my opinion based off that factor.

They should understand that, indeed.

That's sad, being treated that way must've taken a toll on him. But at least he can talk now with you now and hopefully in the near future bond fully with you as well.

Of course not, stand your ground well and look for the best pathways. Worship and faith will indeed be there for you. Your mother is your mother and there's not much room for anything else to befit her title. I agree, let yourself live who you are without such caution thrown into the air to tell your mom. She'll live. Though I find it hard to believe, 20 ? --- Well, that's the story of many countries. Their stubbornness to commit to the new era inhibit their growth as a nation and more closely, to their people. It limits them so much to them.

I'm guessing you're being submitted to this, now, unwillingly. Is there too much of an embarrassment tie that keeps you chained to such commitment(s)? If there isn't than just don't be kind. Put up a cold front. Let them plead their case humbly and not falsely with a sugar coated surface and ulterior motives. Don't stress yourself out over such people who cannot settle and work honorably for their cause.

Gruesome. That's probably why maybe you brother had those feeling towards you.

You can't do much to try convince her otherwise. Its like trying to move a mountain. Just hope she doesn't make you choose between your family and who you want to be. That'd be devastating. Just live loving your family, and trying to be who you are at the same time. I hope you soon enough come to a considerate compromise. We can't have everything we want in life, but we can sure try to as best as we can. I don't know how it feels to be rejected by a mother, but I can already feel the discomfort in the words you tell me about her and what she has planned for you. I agree, we make our own destiny. We choose in the end anyway. I'll pray to whatever is out there for you to make the right decisions to lead you to the happiest life possible.

You are? In what context ?... You don't seem like a person to be abused from kindness. You seem strict in your ways ? Or was that my faulty analysis ? x)

I guess on the surface he was that type of person. Though indeed it does seem he cared for you in every way possible, detail by detail. Haha, even the rarity of someone scolding me would be very gratifying. I don't remember much about my father, but I do remember him being a really quirky man. From what I was told from Tony, my guardian, he was awkward in his speech, scary in his demeanor but very sweet all around in his personality. I would have liked to get to know him better.

I see. It's sad that she couldn't wrap her head around who you are. Though I'm guessing she kept herself in denial to keep being able to love you just as much as any other mother love her child. Tony and I had this conversation about coming out to parents, and he told me that wanting people to understand all the way something they have never thought to be even possible is something the teller must understand. He told me there are people out there that were raised with strong religious values and being told something they were raised to think wrong to be told told is right now takes a big toll on them. Imagine being told that the world is actually flat even though we were raised being told that it was round. Hard to believe. Choosing to not tell your mother about further decisions, I think was a good choice. It's the fairest compromise that can be enacted and followed through. My mother is the parent I remember the least of. The only thing I can remember is her telling me to go to sleep before they passed on. Tony tells me she was the definition of dark satire, and that my father was the only man in the world that would understand her sick sense of humor and character.

Nothing vital was harmed! I wasn't perfectly okay, but I had stitches for some weeks and now I have a tiny white scar that isn't visible if not without close inspection on top of my right eyebrow. I wasn't rushed to the hospital or anything, she helped me get home and when I got home Tony turned pale and took me straight to the emergency room. It was the first time I saw him stressed and vulnerable. Though, he never scolded me about going outside at night. The one who did scold me was a close friend of his that occasionally comes for breakfast.

I feel too free sometimes like I have no one to yell at me for eating too much, coming too late, not being at home, not that I do those things. Though I do miss a fatherly scream or motherly touch. Haha, I'm 17. I was 11 when my parents passed on, and he was 23 when he took me in.

That's cool. It's good you guys settled your differences to come to a good brotherly relationship.
That leaves a lot to say and want. I'm pretty sure though, judging from what you tell me, that he loved you just as much.

I was punched in the stomach and hit at the head with some hard object. I lost complete conscious, some lady found me later on in the morning.
The guy left with 20 bucks, and my cellphone. Not much. I rather would have wanted to be threatened and asked to give these things than attacked by the guy.
I'm not traumatized or anything, I just don't take risks anymore at night, in this city.
I would try again though, indeed, with people around me. : )

Lol. That would be a nice change for me. I'd like someone reprimanding me once in a while.
He does. He's pretty understanding. Generally lets me make my own choices. He's only 29.

That is very sheltered. I'm guessing it's just a different culture.
Mmm, does your brother still have something against you? Wah, your dad knew ?

Haha, at night ! But I wouldn't venture there at night. Last time I went out at night in the city I was attacked so... yeah. XD
God I'd love to go it sounds so amazing when he describes it. > // <

He's lax and rarely affectionate. He's not strict with like going out, just with hanging around certain people who annoy him in the wrong way. He imposes on me when needed and I'm fine with that. We've gone through enough to know how to interact well. It's cool. The word has a couple meanings. I know where you're coming from though. Ah, I see. A modest home. Maybe it's different socio-economic classes, with it being different countries and rules etc.

There is this huge park by my building but it's always crowded with tourist who need directions. So I never go. I live in downtown Chicago, Illinois. It's the most horrendously crowded lively city next to new york on the face of the plant. Finding nature is hard. The park is all man made and maintained.

He's always been reserved it's not that he doesn't want to talk about it or wants to be distant, it's just something he's not used to doing or better said, isn't entitled to talk about.
Haha, don't worry. I'm not from a well-off family. I'm from a single "parent" middle class home. My guardian was the only close friend of my parents before they passed on, so he ended being my 'guardian'.
& he prefers guardian because he's touchy with being associated with having had children. Still a single old dude looking for a soul to link with. : )

I probably would have flipped out even thinking about it. Suppressing emotions, words, truth, and feelings is hard for me. That's good that you tasted adult hood a bit more than you usually would. Pride of being in charge is always a very gratifying thing to ones confidence and reliability skills. You're so lucky. Nature is far from me. Limitations of time and consent always inhibit my encounter with nature. BAH !

I'm not that young. I like experiences rather than watching per se. I agree with that too, sometimes it's just boring and predictable. To top it off my guardian is a bit on the edge with anything sex related. I never had "the talk" with him. If he ever did I think the world would come to an end. Literally.

Oh fun, that's Spring vacation for me.
Haha woah, that must've been uncomfortable as can be. Though a sacrifice for the bigger galvanizing purpose of seeing places like Yardenit is worth it I guess. White lies go a long way.
It sounds very peaceful. There is nothing like that in my ugly, horrible smelling, smoke consumed, consumer crazy city.

They do and I sometimes switch channels while those scenes are going underway. I'm too much of a chicken.

Well then, I'll go for summer vacation. I really want to visit. My best friend is from the Philippines and he's always saying how he wants to go.
Woah that must have been so cool ! What was your favorite sight ?

I see what you mean. I learned Spanish first, and then kind of piggy backed off that to learn French. Latin roots helped me derive more words in both languages. French is very attractive to the ear. My guardian speaks Spanish and French and every time I hear him speak, I want to speak back but I'm at a loss for words from the excitement. Haha, I watch 'novelas' to try to learn more Spanish. They're very intense like Southern Korean dramas.

Now that's a challenging obstacle. We never suspend days. Maybe a couple days every other year when snows reaches above cars.
Oh. Right. So it's wet season. Do you like the Philippines ? Do you ever want to travel?

That's amazing. I never really thought of approaching a language that way other than trying to study it. I'm studying Spanish and French in high school and on paper it sounds ok. Once said is where I get the problem. I'm lost for words, and emotions to go with them. I should stick to the basic rather than try and crank out the harder more refined words in those languages. It seems like you learned a lot from the exposure. I'm hoping somewhere along the way I get some to be able to communicate in different languages.

Goodness, stranded even. Do teachers try to accommodate with giving out assignment before hand and due later?
Is flooding a normal occurrence or just in this season?

I haven't, but I will later in future when I'm prepared.

That's cool. I'm pretty sure your grandmother loved having you there with her. California has such a beautiful climate.
It seems you grasped all languages well.
You had no difficulty speaking one language and then quickly bringing up knowledge to speak another language ?
Or was the exposure the firm grip to learning the dialect ?

They even cancel school? It must be really bad.
Do you live in an urban in the Philippines ?

Ah ! I was doing my donation bags, as well, yesterday along with a buddy.

I'm trying to get rid of my cold by attempting to make this tea that was recommended to me by an elder lady at the super market.
So far, I think it will taste bad and probably cure my cold.
