I have the best, most wonderful, all-time hands down best parents ever!
You know those times when you want something, but you’re not sure if you really want it, if it’s worth the P18000 you’re planning to spend on. So you think of asking your parents, but then dismiss that idea since you know they already bought you that laptop you wanted and much more besides, not to mention the “please-buy-these-stuff-for-me-in-Chicago” list you gave them when they left for the US two weeks ago and which they were indeed able to buy. No, I think I’m still quite content with my “old-fashioned” iPod mini, if I overlook its battery problems that render it practically useless as an on-the-go, portable music player. But it still works; I love that thing!
And yet there’s no controlling my shrieks of “OH MY GOSH!!” and the huge grin which stuck itself stubbornly in my face when my dad produced a small black box out of the maleta he was carrying and presented it to me. On the front, Captain Jack Sparrow’s smiling face greeted me. On the back, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are Now Playing “Dani California”. As I opened the box, I half-expected to see light coming out of it to the sounds of a heavenly chorus.
OA? Well, you would be too if your parents bought you that thing you were trying not to want without you asking for it. Best surprise I’ve had this year. I suspect I’d be a YouTube surfer from now till who-knows-when. Who-knows-when being November 12, 2006.
My sem break just got more interesting. :)
