The Curse of The Absentee

Hey guys, this is totally random, but everytime my parents - especially my mom - went abroad or is "ABSENT" and I have to take care of the stores, there seems to be a stream of curses heading my way.

It started since 2008, when they left for a vacation, my brother and I were in charge of the stores. So, that was the first time ever I - well, partly - was given the responsibility to run the stores temporarily and I was about ten years old then. So, things went smoothly enough... until night descended on us..... and... BAM!! BLACKOUT!!

Well, since we didn't have a generator, we just assumed that it was a mere inconvenience. But, you know luck is a capricious bitch (as said by Gin)... and she decided to show us some of her most charming side. Her educating side... Blechh..

So, what started as a puny disturbance turned into a full blown freak out when - to our surprise... haha..  seriously - the electricity didn't came while others were blessed by its ubiquitous presence. The bottom line was there was something wrong with the wires - I forgot whether there was a short circuit or something. So we could not access electricity. Haha... That was so funny, luck, cause we need to cook, shower, drink, and do everything using electricity. Ahh!! Seriously!! As I was in the state of semi-consciousness (it was midnight), my brain didn't truly registered that we were in a f*cked-up situation. It might seem so irrevocably simple the solution was for some of you... but hey!! We were young. So, the situation was handled somehow by my brother and my cousin. I was just there, although I didn't actually have to be the one who did the decision-making, but mind you I feel the pressure.

Okay, so that was the first time.. Awesome, right? There were probably a few times the curse struck after that but, I didn't recall it. Meh!! Maybe it was not that significant, I guess, or maybe I wasn't the one who was in charge. There was one when my brother was the temporary boss, he managed to lose a sum of money which disappeared, maybe?? Haha.. I don't know. There was another that happened this year on my watch. I haven't even kicked start the day, when our car crashed onto a marine(?) officer's motorcycle on our way to drop my mother off to the airport. I mean that was one heck of an opening show!!

So last week I got another shift at being a boss. The curse showed up uninvited again. This time it was all messed up in the ingredients part. But at least it was not a big catastrophic problem. Phewww!!

That's why I posted this today, to not jinx The Curse of The Absentee!! Haha..  Okay that's it.. Wow! This is the first time I wrote such a long post.. Awesome! Bye, guys! :)
