28th: Week

10.37 pm

I shouldn't be doing this late night. I already have troubles trying to wake up early in the morning...
(I seem to be having difficulty in uploading images... Meh)

Well, let's begin.

Earlier this week, I had gone to this place, like a club thing, but it's open to the public. Though, I couldn't be too sure about this. Anyway, me and my family were invited to join my auntie Annie (as it would be Englished) for a little swim in the pool there. Well not her and not my parents, or sisters for that matter. Those who are swimming would be all of the children of both of my sisters, my auntie's children (two of them at least), my brother and myself.
There is one slight problem with that, however. And that was my inability to swim. But you know what? This occasion was special. How you ask? Well, for the very first time, I am successful learning how to swim. Oyay! I'm hoping to learn how to swim at least once a week, seeing how successful I was there at that club with that swimming pool. (Really, I couldn't remember the date)

The night before was also slightly eventful. There was a blackout that lasted 3 hours for the entire neighborhood. I slept 2/3 of the blackout, and continued sleeping untill morning. What I would like to do that night was to have a look at the night sky. Since it was cloudy that night, it wasn't going to be a beautiful sky.

Saturday, we had a little eat-over at my grandmother's house, for the sake of the same auntie Annie's well being. She had a stroke some time ago, though I don't know when. Nothing seems bad though, thankfully. The event was also coupled with a wet slide bouncer, and I believed it was rented by said auntie. They looked like they had a lot of fun, all my younger cousins. Me, I'd love to join, since it was the only time any of my relative rented a bouncer in my entire life, and I'm not exaggerating. But, alas (to sound cliche') I am far too old for those things. (And I didn't bring any extra clothing to boot. I didn't know it was wet actually)

And at the same day, at that same event, the same auntie Annie got a telephone call about how all the students (me too) of this country are to have their holidays extended by a week. So I won't be going to school tomorrow, this post. Isn't that pleasant?

Saving this for last, a few days ago had brought news that Michael Jackson died. Though I wasn't one of his fans, I can see that his loss brought rainfall of sorrow throughout this World. Still, I am saddened that an icon like him had passed on, but after what he had been through, I guess it is a rest, albeit permanent, from his hectic life.

I do not want to sound cliche' but, let us have a moment of silence in honor and memory of the King of Pop's death.

It's the least they could do...
