Soooooo it was just yesterday that I came cryin bout how mom broke the camera right? Well, I changed my mind. I’m glad she broke it.<\/p>\n

Lemme tell you about this camera: neither me nor my mom is a professional photographer…or intending 2 become one in the nearest future. So the camera, which we bought from Sam’s Club with mom’s member card was a Casio 5.0 mega pixel camera. Nothing extraordinary, really.<\/p>\n

My aunt convinced my mom 2 take the camera back 2 Sam’s 2 see if they wuld take it back. I thought it was a fruitless effort (why would they take back a broken camera?). Let me just say that my aunt is the queen of returning stuff. Wal-Mart usually lets people return stuff even without a receipt, but my aunt has returned so many things that she has been banned from returnin stuff without receipts. Apparently, she has reached the limit. Who woulda thought Wal-Mart has a limit?<\/p>\n

Anyways, my mom went back and tried 2 xplain 2 the customer service lady that the camera fell, but the lady cut my mom off, and said, “So do u wanna replace it?” I was stunned! So we sha went 2 the camera section 2 look @ the cameras where we realized that the one we had was no longer there. We decided to get another camera: a Samsung, 8.1 mega pixels.<\/p>\n

Been playing with the camera ever since, and I am really loving it! I guess it’s a good thing that the other camera got broken. I just hope my mother doesn’t go crazy & break this one, knowing it would be readily replaced.<\/p>\n

After we got the camera, my mother suggested we run out of the store before they realize the camera we gave them was broken. I wonder, won’t our running out of the store call attention 2 us? Besides, since mom had 2 use her ID (cause she didnt have a receipt), I’m thinking, if they wanted 2 catch us, it really won’t be a problem @ all. My mother is soooo dramatic.<\/p>\n

I heard this on the news today, and I thought it was funny.<\/p>\n

Two mexican men workin @ McDonald here in Maryland were arrested today. Wat did they do? Two cops ordered cheese burgers and the mexicans decided to put marijuana in the burgers. How dumb was that? Good thing is the cops noticed the burgers tasted funny and decided 2 open it; thank God they did. Who needs cops high on weed running around the city with fully loaded guns? As if we don’t have enough issues already<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I have changed the name of my short story again. It went from ‘I Must Be Married’ to ‘Woman Palava’, and now, I have changed it to ‘Every Woman’. This is the thing with writing this sorta things; u have 2 keep changin the title until u reach the perfect one. The good news is that I’m done and will be posting it tomorrow, without a doubt. Bear with me, please.<\/p>\n

I think that’s all for today. I will post the story in the morning. I hope you all enjoy it and stay tuned for following chapters. I won’t disappoint u.<\/p>\n

Good Nite<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
