RE: TEENAGE LIFE HAS GOT.. ERR... BETTER

I guess everything that's happening to me now is a mere sign telling me that I should start to act my age. 17? Am I not acting as I should? My closest relatives think I still lack some maturity. Okay lang... highschool pa ako eh!*lol* Nevertheless, I'm thinking twice about what they said. I guess I should really act my age. Whatever that means.

Last week, my mom called me up. I thought she would ask the same thing... what am I doing? has ate gone to work na? what's for dinner? etc,etc,etc. I was surprised when she said, "You look for your birth certificate. I think it's in the box with your projects." I was wondering what my certificate was for then she said "We'd be getting your student permit by next week so you can start your driving lessons." I felt electrified, and my eyes opened and I was speechless for a while. No kid. She's enrolling me this summer. I could just kiss the floor. Haha... *lol* I put the phone back and hurried on the box she was referring to and searched for my birth certificate. Damn... My lame summer has suddenly opened its windows to let air inside for me to breathe in. But the again I realized, mom wants me to take up driving courses 'cause she thinks I'm mature enough for it. I shall prove her right.

Last Sunday, I tried to drive mom's car - and gladly, not my dad's pick-up. To make a long story short - I was a gear away from saying goodbye to the world! Ha... I'm so never gonna touch the car's wheel unless I am under schooling. Damn... That was close. It wasn't the time to prove my maturity. *lol*

I went with my mom to Pricesmart today. I was on a somewhat OJT. She asked me to get this, get that. The trouble is, I don't know how to distinguish good vegetables from the bad. She asked me to get potatoes and when I got to the rack, there were different kinds of potatoes pala - Local Potatoes, Potatoes Lacsamana (?), etc... Hhhhaaaa??? Ano nanaman 'toh?! Even the tomatoes - I didn't know which pack to get since all packed contained a few rotten ones. Ano ba yun? Ggggrrr... I settled na lang for local potatoes and nag-mini-mini-mi-ni-moe sa tomatoes. Haha... :) Pathetic.

I wasn't ready for it. But then again, maturity doesn't come with a manual. If I need to learn about certain things, I should desire to learn it. It is not required nor disencouraged to learn about. It's just that you would someday feel empathy for yourself for having let go a chance of nurturing yourself. Ha.. Maturity daw... Sige lang. I'm still young, It's a step by step process and I shouldn't hurry of transforming myself into a ripen person. Diba? Haha....
