La Nouche's Dream Journal-Chp 38


• I remember being back at my old home in the apartment

• I think I was yelling at my mom

• She was scolding me as usual and I was yelling back at her

• I think she was scolding me about me doing my drawings and want me to stop but I refuse

• She threatened to take my drawings to look at it or throw it away but I grabbed onto it tight

• She demanded for it and I put up a fight

• Then it progressed to wanting to throw my stuff away but I protected them vehemently, saying that they belonged to me and she has no right to touch them

• Weirdly there were ppl in the room, watching us argue our heads off but they just watched but not do anything

• I pushed my mom away and she fell to the floor

• One of them tried to pick her up but she refused them

• We had a yelling match again as she tries to dump my stuff in which I wrestled it back from her

• She said why can't I be the filial child like everybody else

• I replied to her that I've tried my best but she wasn't giving me a chance

• Then I concluded that her violence was an addiction, that she was a sadist and she wanted to abuse me because it gives her the high she wants

• I remember throwing things at her, including throwing a bottle of pepper at her head, dunno why

• I remember the last straw was throwing her out of the window or something

• I woke up for a while but when I went back to bed, she wasn't there anymore and I am with familiar ppl

• I was cleaning up the mess, throwing unwanted things into plastic bags

• Then I remember being in an arcade with Joe

• Joe saw his friend and gave me some money to buy tokens while he chat with him

• I get the tokens and tried out a new DDR game

• This DDR game machine is new with no dance pads but a lot of levers and steps like from either a piano or a reload gun game

• I entered the token and started playing

• I did the character selection byt stepping down on one of the levers slowly because if I step down too much I'll end up to the level where we'll be selecting songs

• Oddly, the character looks like something from Halloween, or more like scarecrow or pumpkin head or something

• I selected wrongly for 2 char play

• The song was in random, but mostly Chinese songs oddly and displayed like karaoke instead of my char selection

• Then I have to play the DDR by stepping and pulling levers and stomp on the steps at the right given moment

• Because I selected the 2 char play, I was having a hard time keeping up but I'm more or less playing it

• Ppl start to gather round in seats clapping and cheering

• It seems like I'm the only one who attempted to play this DDR and they were impressed

• But almost to the final stage, the machine went haywire and hanged

• I had to stop playing but at least I had fun

• I looked for Joe and went on our way

A Wish Come True (A Short Story)

I woke up with a start when I found myself in a very unfamiliar place. The bed I was lying on was grand—an English-quilting blanket and 2 soft pillows with flowery laces. The whole place was fit for a king! Suddenly the door opened and there stood my dream prince: Katsuya Kimura! I gasped in astonishment for he was actually a cartoon character. I did not know that he really exist. “Wake up, dear,” he said and pulled off the blanket and handed it to a woman who looked like the maid. “You will be late for work.” “Work?” I asked. “Yes! Work! Have you forgotten your own comic workhouse, baby dear?” Comic workhouse?! I…I have became a cartoonist? That was my wildest dreams! Being a cartoonist! I undressed and changed into my beige T-shirt and black trousers at once and hurriedly finished my breakfast. Katsuya drove me to the workhouse. My, my, was it big! I’ve never seen a bigger place than this! Katsuya kissed me and said, “See you at four, OK, baby?” I blushed scarlet. I always wan...

Hans and Hilda

Once upon a time there was an old miller who had two children who were twins. The boy-twin was named Hans, and he was very greedy. The girl-twin was named Hilda, and she was very lazy. Hans and Hilda had no mother, because she died whilst giving birth to their third sibling, named Engel, who had been sent away to live wtih the gypsies. Hans and Hilda were never allowed out of the mill, even when the miller went away to the market. One day, Hans was especially greedy and Hilda was especially lazy, and the old miller wept with anger as he locked them in the cellar, to teach them to be good. "Let us try to escape and live with the gypsies," said Hans, and Hilda agreed. While they were looking for a way out, a Big Brown Rat came out from behind the log pile. "I will help you escape and show you the way to the gypsies' campl," said the Big Brown Rat, "if you bring me all your father's grain." So Hans and Hilda waited until their father let them out, ...

I've Learned...

Written by Andy Rooney, a man who had the gift of saying so much with so few words. Rooney used to be on 60 Minutes TV show. I've learned.... That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person. I've learned.... That when you're in love, it shows. I've learned .... That just one person saying to me, 'You've made my day!' makes my day. I've learned.... That having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world. I've learned.... That being kind is more important than being right. I've learned.... That you should never say no to a gift from a child. I've learned.... That I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in any other way. I've learned.... That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with. I've learned.... That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.
