I was typing away in my not-so-little fangirl forum, talking to online buddies, feeding my selfish hobby needs, when my cousin buzzed me.

He was in a panic. He said my parents' panic was contagious. So apparently my parents were in a panic as well. My sister had taken her leave because she was on her way to check if I was still alive. Because they could not contact my cellphone.

So I finally switched on my phone, and contacted my parents, and told them with a straight face (even if they couldn't see my face) that I'm fine, and that I still have a paper to finish, blah blah blah. I called my sister and she told me I was crazy. I told them I didn't actually turn my phone off, it was put on airplane mode accidentally (lies). When I talked to my dad, he seemed quite not his usual self, he was surprisingly calm and didn't say much. I realized he was probably restraining himself, because my sister told me everything. She said when my dad called her up, he was wondering if I refused to talk to them because I was too pressured and depressed. Wait, what did they think I'd do, suicide or something? Close, but parents are parents.

Then I also found out that my other sister had been planning to give me a gift, a trip to Palawan, if I was all depressed, and it was too late to say I was because I told them I was fine and they were really overreacting. I asked if I could have a PS3 instead. "Are you kidding me? You're an idiot for pulling that trick on us, and everybody got involved."

I know it wasn't supposed to be funny but it really gave me a good laugh. And for some reason, I also cried.

Tch. Darn. That PS3, so close yet so far eh?
