Explaining Why...

Okay guys. So I don't think it's right for me to just abruptly say that I'm taking a break without exactly explaining why. Especially since you (or most of you, anyways) have guessed mostly wrong. Yeah, sorry guys. (Not really. :T) So... yeah...

*Tries not to cry when types up explanations... Is probably going to, though...* DX

This isn't just some stuck-up attention-seeking thing. What I'm about to say in this post is TRUE. So please. You don't have to be all like "OMG I'm so sorry for you! -cries- :'c" in the comments or anything like that. But please, guys. Don't be all like, "Wow, would you look at that? Another AJ blogger taking a break.. Hmph!", or be/pretend-to-be funny in the comments. 'Cause honestly, I can't stand that. And yeah. I know that doesn't really happen on my blog, but I've seen it happen on quite a few other blogs. That's just rude and flat-out mean.

So first off, I'm going to explain why I'm taking a break for what you (or most of you) guys guessed correctly. School. Work. Life. And... yeah. Honestly, I think I put more quality work in the posts I type on here than in my actual schoolwork. That gets a little something called GRADED. Blog posts don't. My handwriting's getting less neat than ever before. I wait until almost the last minute to finish my homework- and I get 2 days to finish it. I regretfully admit this. I put blogging as a more top priority than schoolwork. And I even told myself that I wouldn't let this happen again. But it, unfortunately, has. I even forgot to complete a homework assignment- and this is just the 2nd month of school. And when I actually think about this, it's just sad. And I'm pretty sure I just got a poor grade on a math quiz- *cough, cough* my worst academic subject *cough, cough*.

*Sighs* And now.. Oh wait. Back onto the school and your comments' topic. Guys... I'm sorry if I sound rude or anything, but still. I would've taken a break (kind of but not exactly) for just these reasons a long time ago. But guess what? I haven't. Because I needed another reason on why I should suddenly leave. Well... Now I have that other reason..

Okay. But before I go into that 'other reason', it's best that you read this other blog post by me, beforehand. So if you haven't read this post already, read it now before reading the rest of this post. *sighs* Here's the link to that post.: http://thejamaamist.blogspot.com/2014/09/hes-in-hospital.html#comment-form

*Waits for the other people to read the post about my sad life...  .......................................

Well, okay then! I'm just gonna say that you've read that other post. So now, moving on!

That man that I said is in the hospital... Remember that? It's in the post I mentioned.. Well, well then. Yesterday (Tuesday, October 14th) night, he got taken off this thing called the ventilator, and... and.... In other words, he... Umm... He passed away last night. Which means he is no longer here. Which means... eh, you get my point.

And there are some reasons about that which add on to the fact of why my family and I are sad right now. When he died (Tuesday night) was only a few hours before my brother's birthday (Wednesday, October 15th). He passed away just a few hours before my brother officially became an adult citizen. (Where I live, you become an adult at age 18.) A few hours. I don't know how to even begin to describe how heart-breaking I felt when my dad told me this news this morning. And I'm talking about myself. So I can't even begin to know how my brother felt when he heard the news. And by the way, guys. It's not like snobby teasing things anymore. We've grown past that age. I'm the youngest, and... so yeah. That usually happens with just being the older sibling. Haha, I'm the youngest. Heh.

So yeah. Think that's awfully bad? Too bad. There's more elaborations coming your way...

That man (like my 'unrelated grandfather') is always there with us when we celebrate our birthdays. Like when we go out to eat in a nice restaurant during the weekends because we're so busy with stuff during the weekdays. Oh. Did I say "is"? Oh. Meant to say... "was".... He's no longer here, anyways...

*Takes deep breath* I know for a fact that it isn't and never was my fault for all this. We had two completely different illnesses. Oh right. I have to explain this to you guys because you don't know me. Right.. *Sighs* Okay so.. My family and I attended our cousin's wedding on Sunday, September 21st. Very early that morning, my stomach hurt very badly. This probably sounds extremely weird, but I think it's because of the story chapter I just finished typing just a few hours earlier to that. Yeah. Weird, right? So anyways, I, of course, felt better by the time of the actual wedding. The man I'm referring to in this post was also there. Being like his usual self. Talking, laughing, dancing without his cane.. Yep. So yeah. And now, fast-forward a few days to Wednesday, September 24th. That's when he and my grandma came over our house for the holiday that we celebrate. Suddenly, he's very sick. As in not feeling well. At all. And I know... I just feel like it just slightly might have been my fault. I know it possibly can't be.. But still..... Oh gosh. Am I becoming like Twinkle? Like how she blames herself for her sister's death when it obviously wasn't her fault? Oh god.

So now there's another reason to top the reasons why I'm busy this weekend. First big one is to go out to eat in a restaurant for my brother's birthday. In like a nice, maybe fancy, restaurant. Yeah... And now the second big one is to attend his funeral.

Oh yeah. To top it off with the awful news, my grandma's 80th birthday is coming up very soon (the 28th). You see, they always hung out and did activities together. Almost all of them. And they're pretty active people. Surprisingly, elderly people there are not lazy. Not in the least. Like they do more activities than I do.. Strange a bit? Ya... So one less person here to celebrate with... :'(

And they were planning on going to Cuba. (No. It's not for illegal purposes or anything. It's for religious purposes, educating the people there, and such.) I don't really know if that plan's still legit with her or not. So....

And now onto some brighter news about that! Hey, at least he lived up to 92. At least he's an amazing person who we call "part of the family". Like there's others, as well. I don't feel like listing them now, though.

Oh great.  That brought me to another thought. Darn it! I've been to quite a few other family funerals. But this one will be different. In all the others, it's for a family relative that I've probably seen only once or twice. Or maybe even three times. As in not that often. But for this one... I've seen him almost all the time.. Ya.... </3


And if these reasons don't answer your comments and thoughts about why I'm taking a break from AJ and blogging, then I don't know what is. So... yeah. That's how my real life is going right now. Whoopdeedoo. :L

But for the people who do understand (even before I actually explained why..), THANK YOU SO MUCH. It truly does mean a lot to me that you guys do care. And that you're not all upset or anything that these aren't AJ-related posts or anything. In which case, I thank you. <3 :')

Hmm..... I think that's basically it. So.....

Until next post. Until next time. Eh whatever.

Bye guys.
