Ohana Blues
March 29, 2007Until about seven years ago I was Daddy's little girl and he was Superman personified. He was the only man in my life and everything was okay. He knew everything about me. When I was little, he’d give me Barbie dolls and Snoopy merchandise as pasalubong every time he’d come home to Cebu. He knew how much I loved those. He knew all my deepest, darkest secrets and I’d come to him to seek advice. He knew I wrote songs so when I was in fifth grade, he hired an organ instructor for my brother and I.
Seven years later, everything changed. Daddy remarried. I thought it was the end of the world. I was wrong. No sooner than that had the nastiest little bug came and, quite honestly, I would’ve loved to just flick a finger at it so it would splatter all over the windshield of my life [thanks for the idea, Garfield]. And just like that I wasn’t the only little girl for him anymore.
5 things to look forward to after college:
5. I get to decide how to do my own room.
4. I don’t have to suffer under bad cooking anymore.
3. I’d be far, far away from The Others.
2. I wouldn’t have to see The Narcissist vis-à-vis on a daily basis anymore.
1. I wouldn’t have to live in Hell House II anymore.
5 things NOT to look forward to after college:
5. 0 funds.
4-1. Well, really. I don’t want to grow up, so why would I look forward to life after college?
