One little slip cost me everything. I flunked a minor subject, much to my ultimate source of irritation as my professor absolutely refused to give me another shot (trust me, I begged from here to kingdom come). Fine. Nothing we can do about it.

What set me off was my mom who, in reaction to my magical flunk, decided to stop sending me to school. Great! Two more subjects remaining and she's making me stop! People have been pushing me to build a good relationship with her and for highly personal reasons, it's not gonna work. I've had my set of "Mommy Issues" that's enough to make a snakehead behave like an angelic guppy.

I've got absolutely nothing to do now. I'm grounded for what feels like forever (and I am dead serious by this; she won't even allow me to go to the nearby convenience store to top up my phone). The only company I have is my 3-year-old PC and my online job. I applied for another job but I'm still waiting endlessly for the acceptance... Or rejection.

What's my plan now? Sawa was been scratched temporarily. I say temporarily because I am dead set on sending myself to school. One measly subject costs PHP20,000 (483.38 USD) already at the university I'm registered at. Coming up with that huge amount of money will be hard but I'll do it.

IF MY MOM DOES SEND ME TO SCHOOL, I've prepared a lot of things to do already and I'm not stopping at cosplay. Here's what I'm planning to do. Dreaming's for free, right?

* Take up Karate lessons again
* Cosplay different versions of Xiaoyu respectively on two major cosplay events set for this year
* Get a part time job

I think I've mentioned it once that one of my life's goals is to keep improving myself. I will see to that whether my mom likes it or not. For now, I'm stuck at home doing nothing mostly but surf the internet like a mindless zombie. At least my boyfriend keeps me company and busy by playing Dragon Nest with me every evening after work.
