01:46: it's a terrible thing to come home, itching to get the make-up off your face and get the gunk out of your french twisted hair... and find that there's no water. i need a shower. badly.
the wedding turned out ok (pictures to follow), terrible church singer notwithstanding. a lot of people didn't recognize me (hahahaha!). papa went so far as to say "aba, kailangan lang palang bihisan ito! kamukha na niya si amalia fuentes(?)!" ...i have no idea who amalia fuentes is. i have no idea how close or far from the truth that statement was, nor do i know whether it was meant as an insult or a compliment.
it was quite strange to see joe like that. serious, i mean. he has always been the biggest clown among all my cousins. he seems so sifferent now. maybe all those years of independence in hawaii has changed him. or maybe it's ev. or maybe it's us... he seemed a bit apprehensive over how we were going to deal with their marriage. i had a sudden vision of this wedding coming back to haunt me someday. it's a peculiar case. and a little too familiar, as well. of course, we will be as accepting as we can be, no matter how clannish we are. i just hope it works out for joe and ev.
everywhere i went, i could hear scattered comments on how i am "the last one." (ooh... i coulda been a character at last weekend's convention! hahaha...) the last single person in my genration of caranwes. yes, khali is technically single, but he has arianna, and he's already spoken for. when i think about it, wev was around my age when he got married and had riannon. schmidt was my ge when she got married, too. tick... tick... tick... whatever. just let me inch my way out of that crappy school of mine first, ok?
the fortune i pulled from the cake? "it is the difference between men and women, not the sameness, that creates the tension and the delight." what the---?! well, Eru's sake, tell me something i don't already know.
