My Fav. Rock

Naruto fans will be familiar with Rock Lee who has a crush on Sakura. Sakura's initial reaction towards Rock Lee's 1st appearance was the same as mine. Eeeks! Bushy eyebrows & bowl shaped hair. Big round eyes & prominant eyelashes. She did eventually warm up to him though he's not the 1 she likes.

I think many people will agree with me that Rock Lee looks much better when he's younger. But what really appeals to me is his undying spirit. He knows that he is without talent. He can't use ninjutsu (Ninja skills) nor genjutsu (Illusionary skills). So the only thing he can improve on is his taijutsu (Hand to hand combat).

I admit I have no talents. This means no easy way out of life. I hope that 1 day I'll be able to be like Rock Lee. I know despite his hard work, he'll never be the best. People with talents will be well ahead of him forever. But he will never be rock bottom becoz he'll never give up. To me, he's already the best he can be and that is what I hope to achieve someday.

I Refused To Give Up!

How do you describe how it feels like to fill your stomach with food? I'm not the skinny kind and you probably think I'm such a glutton for saying this. Money is tight with less than $800 to my name and without a job, we can very well starve. My dad squandered most of the money away and being out of job for more than a year depleted almost every cent we had. It doesn't help that he's got another woman outside and gives her money on a regular basis.

All but 1 jewellery has been pawned, bringing debts close to $2K. To save money, my mom has been eating instant noodles and sometimes just bread for meals. Even I dare not buy provisions until money starts coming in. I ate an apple from the altar but it only left me hungrier. So I ate the 3 remaining peices of oyster mushroom in the fridge. When I got hungry again, I went to sleep.

I went over to Jeff's place when he knocked off just so I can have a proper meal. When I saw him wolfing down his mom's dishes, I felt guilty. If not for me, we wouldn't be in such a miserable state. To help me conserve money, he brought bread to work. Obviouslt it isn't enough for him. This secret has to stay between the 2 of us. Nobody in the family can know about this. I'm not afraid to say this here for I know only 1 person who reads this.

I will earn back the $7K I paid back. I will do whatever it takes to reach my goal. No, my goal is not $7K. But rather, whatever it takes to give my family a comfortable and debt free life.
