Bitter is for Naught

Hello.

 Baby bro just left for another week of school about an hour ago. He looks super tired and sleepy because he slept after 3, shaken up for sahur, and went back to sleep until noon. He handled bad sleeping patterns well enough before, dunno why suddenly today's different. Maybe it's all catching up to him? He is only 13, after all.
I'd woken up around 11, as usual. 

 Rolling around languidly in bed is a luxury I take joy in when I know most of my peers have to wake up at the ass crack of dawn and get ready for their jobs. 
One of the ups of being jobless. LOL

 A few weeks ago, Mom and I had a talk of my childhood memories. Granted, I probably shouldn't have let loose on the bad ones I could still pull up from the memory bank but it got me thinking on the hierarchy of siblinghood. Parents aside, the eldest had it worst.
Suddenly, all the thoughts about Onee-san came to light, and I empathize with her.
No wonder her head's pretty messed up.

 We of the elder siblings were toughened and drilled into our brains that we are to look out for the younger ones. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm just stating a fact.
It's a good build up to being selfless, you know?

 But slowly as you grow up, sometimes I feel so......less.
Inadequate.

 Then I pushed back the bitter thoughts and feelings down down down into the box. Think happy thoughts. Happier thoughts. Why grip on the past?
Live the now.

 I have a great sisterhood relationship with Onee-san,
I can still be of service to Mom and Dad,
I can exchange playful laughter and banters with Mukhlis,
I can scold Mia and pick her up and swing her around on my shoulders at the same time,
all the happy moments I could have.

 Sure the bitter thoughts are always there, it's unlikely to always be happy 24/7.
All the negativity in one body can procure and consume.

 I just need to keep a strong reminder to myself,
that I won't let them win. Not anymore. 
I have bad days, and I need to remind myself that I have good days too.

 It's imperative I fight them,
because one thing I've always known in my entire life,
is that I'm a fighter.

And I will win my demons.

Nightmare in White

 Last night, I had the most horrible dream. Recently, I've gotten the habit of sleeping on the couch, being the couch potato that I am. Most days, I'm too tired to carry my ass up to my bedroom and sleep properly on my bed. Days when I'd forget to do my night skincare and then regret it horribly the next day.  Same case happened last night. I took a shower, ate dinner on the couch with Natsume Yuujinchou on, and fell asleep. It tends to be cold downstairs in the living room at night, and I was wearing short shorts so my legs were freezing. I briefly remember pulling a blanket over my legs in my sleep haze. The details of my dream are hazy by now, but I can still feel the intense disgust and horror at the bottom of my throat. There was the air of something big happening, bustling noises of people moving. There was someone walking beside me, mumbling noises in the background. Everything in my eyesight was filled the golden color, as if we were walking in a ripe wheat field by

A Semblance of Balance

Hi, guys. It's been a while. No worries, I have my reason, which entails two words. Mom, and the black sheep. Mom was pissed he wouldn't go to school 'cause he stayed up late surfin' the net, so she confiscated the wi-fi. It's connected now for the weekend 'cause my baby bro is home for the moment and he pleaded the case with Dad. Way to go, baby bro! x3 That said, I'll only post a few stuff here and there for these two days. Now, regarding my last post, it was the first night after many many months of self-recovery a relapse of that degree. As I stated, it used to happen frequently during my high school days, usually when I am alone because of course I would never have them when I am with my sis or my baby bro since those voices have no place in my head when I am happy and content. I locked the door, and spent the night retching in the toilet bowl. I had records, but they were all gone with the flood. So that's that. Funnily, the urge had grown

"Toukan Koukan" ; Exchange of equal value

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is the best of the best anime can offer.  I resolutely stand by this statement, even when there are countless of other animes that can teach us many things such as Gosick, Soul Eater, The Children who Chased Lost Voices, Code Geass, Sword Art Online, Tokyo Ghoul, No 6, and many more I could name. The first moment I finished FMAB, it felt like I had gone through a life and came out in tatters. So much truth put in one series. So much life. Especially when it's adorned with death. When has it not? Life and Death goes hand in hand. The one thing I love the most was the First Law of Alchemy, Equivalent Exchange. It is fair, is it not? To give all and take nothing is arguably noble. Modern people would say it's stupid and wasteful. Wise people would know that there is something more at work than the naked eyes. On the other hand, to take all and give nothing is selfish. No arguments. I don't watch these things for entertainme
