from green to black

but i notice

i just had dinner to celebrate my grandmother's birthday
at the civil defense club. things were amusing since i
had 2 cousins to disturb as they were both younger and
had to face a little good natured ribbing.

i am always amazed by how different our family bonds are
and how we connect with each other. but let me talk about
pak's daughter.

see pak's daughter is the elder of 2 children and i guess
is in the tough position of being both a girl and more
intelligent than her brother. so with downward pressure
from her parents and upward pressure from her brother. i
guess her only recourse is to withdraw and isolate herself.

now, i totally understand having felt that way before.
what i wonder is, comparing to the standard of my elder
cousin's family (and that is sim-ple ;) since i only
have one) what did they do right or better that things
turned out that way.

but i guess what would really suck is knowing that you
are intelligent, and there's no one around who can either
understand or accept you because of it...
