this morning i wake up to two text messages from my pops. 1) are you awake, 2) my heart is broken again

my sister left for aussieland two nights ago and my dad is very sad. i called him and he said "the house is so empty and quiet now- everyone is leaving". and i could just see the :( . wish i could be there to give him a hug and spend time with him. so there again is the dilemma of how much of my own life is mine alone since it is meaningless with no love and family.

anyhow i have been itching for a couple of weeks to buy a new couch. so today i bought one from urban at quite a steal i think. andres fell in love with it and is getting the exact same one for their new apt too. he calls it the karma sutra couch because it unfolds into a bed and you can fold it width-wise and it becomes a chaise-type lounge for two. the only problem now is trying to have it fit in this tiny apt and how i'm going to get rid of my existing futon.
