i finally bought my dear laptop! ahhh... i'm relieved now. i'm actually not gonna have too much time installing software into it before i leave though. they estimated that the date i'd get it is the 29th. oh well, we'll see what happens.
anyway, i didn't go on the computer last night because the radio stations were teling us to conserve electricity. so it's a good thing. i mean, i kinda like not having to depend SO much on the computer for entertainment. on thursday, without my computer and tv, i was like "what the heck are we gonna do tonight for entertainment?!" but as it turned out, the night had been more fun than i anticipated. before the sun set, the four of us actually all sat outside (cuz it was hot in the house) on the deck, doing stuff. we have this glass table on our deck, so my parents were mulling over their Europe plans, my brother was playing chess with himself (thinking up strategies to beat ppl i guess) and i was contently drawing a flower i heard my teacher teach someone in one of the friday art classes. i don't remember the last time we were all together at one place, not arguing or shouting at each other. it was nice. and we haven't really used our deck in a while. when it was too dark to read tourist pamphlets and draw anymore, we headed inside, lit tons of candles (thanks to my growing collection) and my brother and i played monopoly by candle light. it was actually pretty fun. i beat him. my parents momentarily left the house to go to the office because my dad was worried about the security, so, yeah. when they came back, my mom was like, "there's so many stars!" so i was like "omg!! i wanna go stargazing!" so i abandoned the (second) game of monopoly, and went out with my dad. it was nice. i brought along a towel and a pillow so we could lie on the pavement (of the catholic school nearby) and look up at the stars. i saw the Big Dipper. and a shooting star! then i had an idea of taking pictures! but my dad wouldn't come out with me again, so my brother had to come. but we argued so much. i was really pissed off at him, cuz he kept criticising everything i say and do, so i just told him to leave. so i was by myself for a bit, perfectly happy, except my damn camera won't work!! i got so frustrated, seriously, i was so mad. and then my mom came and told me how it's dangerous for me to be out here by myself and shit. and i'm like, if i get kidnapped, then i won't be able to see my brother again, so it's okay. my mom was kinda disappointed, but whatever, i don't really care. anyways, after a while, all the mosquitos came out so we headed home. i got bit 4 times. and they fuckin itch like crazy! and that was my night. yup. and i went to work yesterday at my art teacher's place, but i didn't see that movie with Timmy cuz there might not be any electricity. so it's postponed til whenever he calls me up again. heh heh ooh fun.

anyways, that about wraps up my rant for today. goodnight.
