naalala ko tuloy yung lola ko, "ano ba yan, wala kang ginagawa. basa ka lang nang basa." nagbabasa nga eh, di may ginagawa. ano ba konsepto nila ng "may ginagawa"? nanonood ng tv?
I'm sorry to hear about the panic attacks. But I understand what you mean about getting all those looks.
As for what your lola said, I get that from my aunt. haha Pag kasi hindi libro kaharap ko, laptop naman. Pero ang linya ni mama eh, "You need to stop reading/being on the pc so much. Kailangan mo ng social life. Tignan mo ko, I go on trips." etc, etc, etc.
Feeling ko tuloy minsan epic ang pagka dysfunctional ko.
