Good things always happen when you least expect it

I had lunch at Anthony’s house today, which gave me a chance to dote on baby Matthew. I swear, he’s gained soooo much weight since the last time I saw him, and that was only two weeks ago. And I don’t understand why his skin is so pale when the rest of his family is so tan! I never thought I’d actually be saying this, but babies are so cute. However, I still have low tolerance for little kids, unless they’re the quiet type who’s mature for their age like my cousin Bianca. I think the reason why I prefer babies to kids is because the worst thing babies can do shit and cry. Little kids are entirely different; they’re noisy, they’re messy, and they never leave you alone. I’m still debating on whether or not I should have children of my own. Babies are cute (and the fact my children will actually be half me sounds rather intruiging), but I don’t think I have it in me to deal with things like 3 a.m. feedings and varicose veins and diaper-changing. I can’t even be responsible for myself; how am I supposed to be responsible for another human being? I also have this fear that one day I will be so caught up in my thoughts, I’ll end up dropping the baby or something. If that happens, I’ll never be able to forgive myself.

My Economics teacher said that the Philippines will soon replace Thailand as the shopping center of Asia because of the really cheap labor or something along those lines. I definitely agree with her. I didn’t plan to go shopping today but out of curiosity, I went to check out this bazaar to see if they were selling anything good. Less than an hour later I emerged out of the place wearing a huge smile on my face and carrying several shopping bags. I love bazaars, they’re one of my favorite places to shop because there’s just soooo many things you can buy. The only downside to it is when you buy bazaar clothes, there’s a possibility of running into someone wearing the same top or jeans or shoes that you bought. But that’s a risk I’m willing to take. Some of my favorite finds today are a pair of really cute sandals (which I bought at an unbelievable price), and a top similiar to the one Michelle Branch wore in her Goodbye To You video. Just yesterday I was wondering where I can buy a top like that, and now I have it! I swear, there’s no better way to end your day than to go shopping.
