To quote the warden from Minority Report,
"If you dig up the past, all you get is dirty."
Yeah, well, I was cleaning up my arwah nenek's house yesterday, and you can bet the past is WAY dirty. Dirt and dust reign in those corners, I tell you. Even roaches didn't live to see the light of day, judging by many dead bodies found under the kitchen sink.
Uurrghh.
I DID get some interesting stuff out of there though. For one, there was a whole container of VINTAGE cameras. Like, from 1970s VINTAGE. They were awesome. One even had a maximum shutter speed of 1/12,800th of a second! That's fo' shizzle, biatch! XD
Frankly, I was impressed.
Looking back, I can't believe that house is being sold. Many beautiful memories were formed there, you can be sure. My grandma greeting us at the door whenever we came to visit; the dishes she used to cook (which were ROCKIN'); just her presence. You can't never get the same feeling anywhere else.
Now she's gone, and my grandpa's bedridden. Old age has really taken a toll on him, I guess. He may even possibly be slipping into senility.
And I can safely say I ain't never gonna respect my paternal grandparents. (Not the two I was mentioning at the top)
*Editted* Once again, I let the ugly side of me roam free. It's time it went back in its cage. DOWN BOY.
Yeah, this is the kind of thing you only see in dramas on television. But you can bet your ASS it's happening all around you.
On a lighter note (somewhat), I'm waiting for Adobe Design Premium CS3 to transfer over to my external hard drive. The estimated time remaining keeps fluctuation between 2 days and 40 minutes. (-_-) Just felt like backing up my files today. Somehow my trail of thought came up to the top part of this post. Sigh. It's been a really eventful year, I must say. I'm lucky I still got school to get my mind off such things. Change was imminent, and I'm still much of a wuss to handle it. No, this isn't self-pity. It's the uber-screwed up reality.
My photos are supposed to be ready sometime between today and tomorrow. Apparently they had to send the machine off for repairs, so instead of getting it on the same day, I gotta wait for 3 whole days. (-_-)
I'm off to wallow in the pit of superficial grandparents, deadlines, and obesity that is my life.
Ta.
