Out of nowhere, Grandma approached me while we were just chillin' at my aunt's shop. She said " You know you should take on dancing, too. Just like your cousin."
It really caught me off guard, but before I could say anything, she continued, " Otherwise you'll lose from your cousins. Cousin A just won a local singing competition and cousin B has been winning some ballroom dancing competition. You should go for something like that too. It will be good for you."
I couldn't help but laugh my heart out.
My grandma. She's the best. One of the two best grandmas in the world. The other is my other grandma from my dad's side of the family.
I know some people might find it annoying to be compared in anyway like that by your family. However, I think I know what my grandma is thinking. I tend to (or would like to) look at this whole thing as her having faith in me, that I could do almost anything. Even such an impossible thing (in my case) as ballroom dancing.
You know what, grandma? Thanks for the faith in me.
One of these days, when it's more feasible to do so, I might actually go and do it.
Come to think of it, I haven't talked to her since she left earlier this month.Maybe I'll go and visit her and Grandpa in a week or two. Let's hope I won't be that stuck with school work.

Just plain wicked!
I went to see a wonderfully "Wicked" musical yesterday. What a great way to spend the last few days that I have in the city. Bravo! That's all I can say. I clapped till my hands were sore last night.
