[b]icekandi[/b] i want you to know that i am a volunteer too. you influenced me. [b]topic[/b] you can also find these in my blog. if you want to comment, please visit my blog and comment there.. [spoiler][b] I confess that my cousin annoys me so much... My mother brought him from Cotabato City saying that he is my cousin that I haven’t seen in like, forever... and I mean that literally. She said that he bought him here because he was like a pain in the butt back there.So I was like, "if he is a pain in the butt there why did you bring him here??" and she was like "please understand. They are very poor there and we have to help them." I got nothing to say to that, you call us poor but we are way fortunate them. According to mama they don’t have water system there, no refrigerator and no proper income. They where 8 in the family with a 2000 pesos monthly income. While we have all necessities that we needed here and a bit more. We are just four in the family, but we have another human that we are feeding here who happens to work for us. Have I mentioned that they are two?? Well, the younger one was accepted since she was just in grade school and we were really looking forward into having a "living doll". But the older one is like... "What?? You bought another problem? Is Jun-jun not good enough and you still want one?" I hope I can shout that to her but I cant. My mom would be hurt. Being the eldest among three of us, I am the one who do the budgeting since my mum is only around during the weekend. So, I stretch the money and the sack of rice that we have. I don’t want our stocked food to just vanish in midweek. But the foods that I prepare are good enough for all of us. So it was really a shock when he came in late and all of us where finish eating that he said to me "what’s for lunch?" I said "there ion the table, veggies and dried fish that mama brought from your place" And he was like "we have fish in the fridge right??" I nodded. Then he said "I will cook a piece for me." I was really shocked. All of us ate the same thing, even his sister. My mum raised us to share everything we have so it really came to me as a shock. I want to shout to him but I can’t. I want to show him where he stands; I want to let him know that we are in a tight budget. That rice is way too expensive now. I want to tell him all that but I can’t coz I don’t know the proper words to use. I can’t because I don’t want him getting hurt. And not only me, he even annoys my sister. She has this cabinet where she keeps all her clean clothes and one morning when she opens them she found his used shorts in there. One look at the cabinet and you will know that it’s for clean clothes only. We also hate it when he smoke in the house and when he talked as if he knows everything, with the fact that he was not able to fining his studies. I really wish i can do something but the way things are in here, i think it will take another month before he went back to their place. i just hope that his sister will stay with us.[/b][/spoiler]
