puffed

my mother just called to say sorry that she wasn't able to buy the nice pair of bronze earrings i will wear for my cousin's wedding tomorrow since she was glued to the television the whole afternoon, watching the live feeds of the senate inquiry on the bloated nbn-zte deal, where controversial witness jun lozada is testifying. after seven hours of true-to-life drama, the hearing finally ended at 5:55 pm. it's now 6:49 but she's too embarassed to go to the nearest mall since her eyes are still puffed from crying.
