Foundation

Friday, June 12, 2009

Me: Wow, JK and Wiranto don't look good in this poster. They look abnormally dark.

Mom: Yeah, you're right. Most probably color profiling problem during the printing process.

Me: And not to mention a bad Photoshop work.

Mom: They seem to have some sort of brick-ish red blush applied to them.

Me: I can't believe they approved to have these posters planted across the city, and worse, the whole nation!

Mom: Compare it with the SBY and Boediono poster over there.

Me: Great smiles with pleasing light brown skin color.

Mom: I think they applied some foundation before they have their photos taken.

Me: Maybe that's the key to win the election.

Mom: What?

Me: Foundation.

Mom: I hope so.


My mom rocks!

E!

Mom: So, are you sure we're going to make it?

Me: Mother, we're 3 minutes away from the gas station. I'm 100% sure we'll make it.

Mom: I've never been in this situation before. The needle is pointing at E! You know what it means? The gas tank is empty!

Me: Relax mother, the red warning light hasn't blinked at all. I've been in a situation where the red light blinked probably 3 or more times before I managed to fill the gas.

Mom: What? You waited until the red light blinked 3 times? Wouldn't the car just die after 3 blinks? I really can't understand you and your sisters. Always wait to do stuff until the last minute!

Me: Mother, you should be happy that I've been in this kind of situation. You know, it is often in this kind of situation that I remember God and regain my faith.

Mom: Haha, very funny. Seriously though, I never could do stuff at the last minute, I will be too worried about it, it will consume all my thoughts, and I will end up doing it at once so I could move on to do better things.

Me: But mother, don't you see, it's all your fault.

Mom: What? How could it be my fault?

Me: You know the saying ... the fruits don't fall far from the tree. And with the 100% rate of this laziness trait appearing at your daughters, it is obvious that the root of the problem is in the parents.

Mom: But, I'm exactly the opposite of you and your sisters!

Me: Well, it's father's fault then. And assuming that it's not genetic, you two were the one who raised us up during our formative years. So, genetically or environmentally, the blame is still on you, my dear mother.

Mom: Sigh ...

And here's one reason why I don't think I'm ready for motherhood, ... the fruits don't fall far from the tree!

McFlurry

SMS exchange I had with Yun last night ...

Yun: Say, do you have a pregnant cousin? I swear I saw someone that looked exactly like you but pregnant.

Me: Well, to be honest, I sometime tape a pillow on my stomach and go and eat as much junk food as I want. It makes me feel protected from the judging eyes.

Me: Last time I did this was when I wanted some McFlurry. I had the Coffee Crunch McFlurry, but it was disappointingly not good, so I finished it on the spot, and ordered the classic Oreo McFlurry. Hmm, gotta love some McFlurry.

Me: Btw, did you see the preggie me with a guy or not? Cause I usually go solo on my mission, and also the obvious fact that I don't have a boyfriend ...

Me: And to answer your question, no, there is no preggie cousin that I know of.

an hour later ...


Yun: Are you high on McFlurry?

*end of SMS exchange*

There was no reply from me since I was already asleep by that time, by 9:12pm according to the sms log. Sometimes, I do get why I don't have many friends.
