Summer: Phase 2

I've been on Guam for a total of six days which equates to me feeling like I've already exhausted my time here. I miss my bike, I miss recycling, I miss my house, I guess I miss my friends and, most importantly, I miss doing whatever I want. However, as the cycle goes, those things will get old (especially the friends) after six days. My brother says that there is a lot of fluff when I write, is this true?

So my computer has unofficially crashed for the third time. I hope my stepfather will be able to recover my files because all my music, pictures and epic, quality papers mean the world to me. Without these things, I am all talk and no pretense. To paint a more pathetic picture, after I heard the news of my destroyed hard drive I have since been mourning. Let us all hope for the best, my heart can only take so much lost files.

I have been hanging out with my niece, nephew and new niece since I've been back. They have grown so much! I like to detach myself from the situation and listen to their dialogue, which always proves to be so entertaining. For example, because my nephew was making fun of my niece for not eating, my niece retaliated by saying that my nephew "pooped on the floor". I think these kids are turning out to be just like their auntie Frances' friends. It is also interesting to see how they interact with their new born sister. They are always willing to help my sister (with or without her permission) take care of the baby. I hope this will continue throughout their teenage years. I also hope that my nieces and nephew turn out to be cool kids.

On the note of sibling relationships-

Before my arrival, my brother told my mom that I like to drink a lot through the means of "funneling" or "beer bonging", which is ridiculous because I have only done that once in my lifetime. So as soon as I get here, my mom kept making comments about "funneling" (which she pronounces as fyoo-neling) and how I should behave myself. Nice, Paulo.

How are you all?
