I've been wanting to do a decent update recently (totally slacked off on my daily beer and daily picture, huh? I have issues), but every time I started to type something, I just couldn't seem to finish it. So I'd just close the window. Until yesterday when I posted that pointless entry about Because of You. But! I really do like that song. It's so .... beat-y. :P

Anyway, so the parents have left for Taiwan for the week (grandpa's funeral *tear*), so my sister and I have been left to fend for ourselves. Well, not really. My mom basically prepared enough food to feed us for a month, so we're pretty set on the food department (this also saves us from having to spend ridiculous amounts of money eating out). Other than that, been doing some housework, mainly laundry. Our drying rack is definitely too small, so we can only pretty much do a load a day.

Need to vacuum, but I think we've put that off till Saturday, the day before they come back (yay procrastination!). I think that's about all we have to do.

Caught a cold recently. The body is not used to this cool weather in August (where's the heat?! the humidity?!). Sigh. It's adapting, I hope so anyway. Rather not constantly get sick and chug down large quantities of water that makes me need to pee every 10 minutes.

Went to Antwerp before the parents left. Had some dim sum, well, had A LOT of dim sum because we ordered a tad bit too much. Left feeling stuffed, but satisfied (yay Chinese food!). Walked around Meir, street with all these different stores (they had Urban Outfitters! So random!) that were probably all over-priced. Couldn't bring ourselves to actually go into a store and be depressed at the amount of money needed to purchase one of those products. Checked out their city hall and church (gotta have one of each in every town here, of course). It was actually really nice, I think having nice weather also helped improve the feel. After our rainy trip to Luxembourg and Germany, cloudy blue skies was heaven.

We took the train to Antwerp just to see what it's like to take the train here. Nubbad, but the train station at Antwerp is fantastic. Too bad the outside was under construction, but the inside was super nice. I'd post pictures, but I'm actually too lazy to get my camera and upload the pics. :P I think that describes my mood for the past couple of days - lazy, lethargic.

I spent all yesterday watching the first season of Gossip Girl. Mmmm, Nate. Yum. :P
