Screamer

Since time immemorial, I've been known to have a very short temper. No matter how I try to be calm and tell myself to count to 10, I guess I need more than that to keep my fuse from blowing.

Yesterday, I was supposed to pick my sister from school in Makati. Syempre, galing pa akong Quezon city. Her dismissal was 4pm but I had a meeting with my groupmates in LS. I ended up leaving school around 345pm and since there was a storm, traffic was heavy in EDSA. I couldn't concentrate on my driving because she kept on texting me. Takte! I'm driving here!

Long story short, I was able to arrive at 5pm. She was standing under the tree in the stupid rain. Ano ba yan?! Umuulan na nga, dun pa pumuwesto. Ewan!

And then she kept blaming me for not picking her up. Ang kulit talaga. I tried to be quiet, to remain calm. Para namang naglamiyerda ako kung saan saan at nakalimutan ko siya sunduin. I kept telling her that I also have my own priorities. I'm studying too, you know!

And then mom called her phone and told her in a very bitchy way that we were on our way home. I had it, I lost my temper and screamed at her. And I couldn't stop shouting in the car. It was raining outside but I didn't care. I was almost flooring the accelerator but I didn't give a damn. I then blamed her that she only wanted to go home just so she could watch her stupid cartoons. Yes, my logical reasoning had flown from me. She said she had to study for a long exam.

Tch! Exam my ass! She's the laziest person when it comes to studying.

Anyway, that's what happened. I felt bad for screaming at her, but she's so self-centered and doesn't care if anyone's hassled as long as her needs and wants are met.

Darn her.
