SHE'S ALIVE!!
I tell you, yesterday was the scariest and most emotional day of my life. I really honestly thought I was going to be motherless. Like seriously, can you even imagine what it feels like to be so close to lose your mom? Worst feeling in the world.
My dad called me at 8am this morning to let me know that mom called him and said she was okay and was with all 9 of her siblings. Hallelujah! I swear, a million worlds has been lifted off of my shoulders. I do, however, am surprised that the airlines lied to us. They told us last night that they put the passengers in hotels with meals. Totally not the case. Mom said they were stranded the whole time on the airplane. That information right there makes me seriously concerned. What if it was another 9/11 happened or the tsunami did swoop them up? The airline would makeup shit in order to get you off their backs? Beyond insufficient. There was just too many emotions involved to make this permissible. I really am considering suing for false information.
But regardless, I am so relieved to know mommy made it to Indonesia and barely in time for the wedding. I hope she takes lots of pictures! <3

Today was such a hard and long day. I have been frustrated all around. This Friday was definitely one that went completely unplanned. I didn't plan to spend all day and night being paranoid about where my mom, my only mommy, was. It's her 45th birthday on Sunday and my uncle is also having a wedding the same day. So we decided she should fly to Jakarta, Indonesia... her home that she hasn't been to in 10 years, to surprise them. And here comes a big 9.0 earthquake and tsunami. I was scared and my phone buzzed continuously throughout the night last night and well into this evening. A few hours ago, mom's airlines finally told me her flight was rerouted to Haneda Int'l instead of Narita and she's scheduled to make her next connecting flight to Singapore at 9pm, Japan time. I don't know if mommy is personally alright, I only know of her flight information. But I'm hoping she's calm, full of her favorite snacks, and sleeping.
In addition to all of this panic I have been through in the last 48 hours, I also saw who my real... true friends were. Some disappointed and some surprised me with their indifference. It bothered me that some people said some insensitive things about the tsunami and its flooding. Some decided to say "fuck the tsunami, keep partying." Yes, I understand that the world keeps turning and what the fuck ever. But since we know each other, I would have expected a little more respect. It pisses me off that knowing your friend's mother might potentially be swept up in a flood doesn't matter to you because it wasn't your own family member. However, we all know that if it was their own relative, all hell will break lose. I want to say "fuck you" to those people, but I am so emotionally drained that I do not have the energy to even be spiteful. All I can say is that I am disappointed and I now know where the relationship stands.
In any event, I want to really thank those who called and kept checking up on me. And especially thank the very, very few, more like 1 or 2 people who went so far as to looking up the news and airport information to help me figure out where my mom could be. Thank you and I am ever so greatly appreciative.
I love my mom--the kind, naive, positive, nonjudgmental, fair, and sweetest person ever. She never hates anyone and always looks at the nicer side to all individuals... even those who have screwed her over. I strive to be just like her. I love her.
Please come home safely. :(

and just like that, i am at 203lbs again.
which I don't understand why. I have aerobics twice a week and I do bicycling at least once a week. So I'm active at least four times a week. However, I have noticed that I am eating more as I am craving things obsessively. For example, I craved anything orange. I would have maybe four oranges a day and two cups of OJ. But I doubt that week was bad... although this week, I have been cooking at home more and I'm noticing I'm eating rice more frequently as if I were back home with mom. I also have a lot of left over candy from Valentine's Day. I am also more noticeably tired. >_<
*sigh* fml.
After my midterm today, I think I am going to crash... sleep off my woes.
