Spuddy Buddies

won’t go home without you

What happened today?

Today.

Um, apart from some sucky dinner which I will write in detail soon, everything was normal.

Guess who got herself a new Swiss made watch?

Yes, me.

Yippeedooda.

Cheez was horrified with the price and kept hissing that it was overly expensive. She got herself a digital watch which was not even close to the price of my watch. Heh. Oops. Sure, mine was around 700 but the other watch I was admiring a few months back cost 2k. KA-BOOM! goes Dad's wallet. Oops. And Swiss watches are well known for their quality and sturdiness so I thought it was a fair deal.

Mom, too, was slightly dazed but when I compared it to a few other cheaper but similar watches, the Swiss one was the apple of her eye.

Dad was willing to get me any watch I liked. I looked around and saw some pretty fancy ones which would have made amazing watches but the price was sky high and I'm not the kind of daughter who empties her dad's wallet and spends until his credit card breaks into half. Either that or the watches were waaay too fancy for school and I like where my wrist is so I don't wanna wear it then get my hand chopped off by some lowlife thief. Thank you very much.

I adore my new watch. It's plain but at the same time so elegant and pretty in a plain kind of way. The straps are black and leather (I think) while the face is so gorgeous. I call my watch "my wife" and wipe it when I think I have dirtied it. Smirk. Refer to Cheez's post below. And "my wife"'s name is Seb (maybe). Haha! Kinda gay but it's too long to say "my husband", so "wife" will do. It also has glow-in-the-dark hands and dots where the numbers should be. Fancy fancy. (: I love it. Thanks, Dad.

Okay.

Another thing!

I GOT TO CRADLE A TAKAMINE GUITAR IN MY ARMS TODAY. HOLYMOTHEROFSTEAMEDCODFISH! YES, I DID AND I LOVE IT!

SO SMOOTH. SO BEAUTIFUL. SO SHINY. SO WONDERFUL. SO YUMMY. SO EXCITING. SO AMAZING. THE SOUND IS SO BEAUTIFULLY MELLOW.

Oh my God. I'm in dire need of one now.

Seb, now I know how it feels to hold one. Even though, you're probably used to it and think it's just a guitar, I'm sure you must have had a time when you actually got to try out your dream guitar.

My spirit is rising by 150%!

Mmm..

But yuck to dinner at some seafood place. We I don't eat live seafood fished out from the tank in front of your eyes and thrown into a pot. The action itself spells: CRUEL. So yes. I had a hard time eating anything there. Even though, Mom said it was alright to eat it if someone else ordered it because you didn't ask for it, I still felt a pool of guilty at the bottom of my stomach. Throughout the whole dinner, all I had was one bit of crab, some fish paste fried in batter which turned out to be quite delicious, some vegetables, less than a spoonful of noodles.. and that's about it. All eaten with a bowl of rice.

Eww.

The journey to the place itself took almost a full hour and by that time, we were starving. It was located in some dingy place unknown to the city people like us so we felt kinda disgusted. There were stray dogs and weird characters about. Ew, total OMGWTF factor. I clutched Dad's arm and glued myself to him so that if any wild dogs went crazy, my dad would be in front of me to protect me. Hehe! No air-cond. Great. Just great. Expected though.

Whatever. So we ate. And came back kinda late because the older relatives wanted to chit chat. I finally caught Dad's eye and signaled to him that we wanted to go home.. badly. Second try earned us our ride home. Mwahaha. I'm such a daddy's girl most of the time. Which is good at times of emergency like that.

Heehee.

Okay. That's all from the Tacobellbell.
