A university professor set an examination question in which he asked what is the difference between ignorance and apathy. The professor had to give an A+ to a student who answered: I don't know and I don't care.

ha. i like that one. too bad that never happened to me in school. i remember when we were applying for college we heard this story about some kid's college entrance essay. he/she was applying to one of the ivy league schools (forgot which one) and all they wrote for their essay was something like : This is my college entrance essay. And that was it. Supposedly they got into the college because the school found it gutsy and unique. Hmmm to this day I still don't know whether or not that was for real, but if so..lucky sumumabeetch. haha.

been pretty hectic these past 2 weeks. my lolo's been pretty sick since last last sunday so we were all really jumpy those first few days. bad word to use i know..hmmm, scared?sad?anxious?nervous? i dunno, i've never really been good at handling things like this. i'm always in denial when it comes to this kind of stuff. i like to think that all my elders will live in my life forever. selfish i guess huh?

my lolo is my last surviving grandparent. and he's pretty much the one we got the closest too and who watched over us while we were kids. then he moved to corona to help out my aunt when we got a little older. and with a lot of family ish that's happened over the past few years it's been really hard to see him frequently. and then when we found out he got really sick we were all there, well most of us at least. i could barely stand to see him in the hospital. it's really weird for me to see him like that. i still always picture him with his black plastic rimmed glasses and his slow but steady gait with his happy smile.

we visited him for about 4 days straight and then i had to go back to work. this past weekend i heard he's been doing better, finally conscious and speaking to my dad and his brothers/sisters. i know i should go back to visit some more. i know this. but a big part of me is scared because i don't want to see him in pain. i don't want to know that something else might happen to him. if i know he's getting better than things will be okay. and as i'm typing this, i know how selfish i'm sounding. i'm not that little kid anymore that used to try to sneak out and play w/ the neighbors when lolo said i should stay and play with my little sister. i'm not that kindergartner that lolo picked up everyday afterschool, taking the rtd bus and then pushed me in my big kid stroller all the way back home. i'm an adult, more or less=P. i should be there now since he's the one who needs us all the most this time. but he's my lolo, i still look up to him like he's invincible. arghhh i can't stand this. i can only hope and try my best right now. thanks to all for your kind thoughts and prayers.=)

things really do have a strange way of working out on their own. lou always likes to remind me that if something doesn't work out the way we had hoped, no worries because something better will come along. and so far he's been right. we've been so lucky with how things have worked themselves out, it's freaking awesome.

no idea if i should change my template to this thing. my comments are gone. my archives have disappeared. but i don't really see a layout that hasn't already been taken or that looks pleasing to me. ahhh am i ready for change? ha.

anyways i'm so behind in work. bah at least it's friday. feliz cinco de mayo peoples! be safe, be merry. who's got the don julio or patron?=P

heehee and happy early birthday mr. ninomlahlah (per your students..hehehe)
