Ch.12 - Ch. 14

Bill said that Jake was an expatriate. Bill then teased Jake that expatriates are drunks who are obsessed with sex and who write nothing worth publishing. I don't get how expatriate could be drunks who are obsessed with sex. While they were joking, they started to say things about Jake's accident and how other other men suffered from the consequence like Jake's on horseback and another one on the bicycle. I don't want my son(s) to read this and be afraid to ride horses and bicycle because they don't want to suffer like Jake did. Seriously... What are the chances of that happening? I'm sure that if the boys don't ride horses and bicycles recklessly and violently, they wouldn't have any problem fearing what might happen.

Bill and Jake went to an inn in Burguete for five days. They fished, ate, drank, and played cards the whole time. I don't want my children to be wasting time. Sure, my mom complains about me wasting time but I don't want my children to be lazy like me and sit infront of the computer to play and have fast food beside them. I do that but not for five days. I don't want my children to think that they can do nothing but play for five days and get away without me scolding them. I don't want them to look at life and future as if it's nothing because I did that and I regret that I wasn't so serious about my studies. I'm still not that serious about my studies but it has become a habit and I cannot sit in one place studying for more than half an hour. If I get to play on the computer, I can stay in one place for the whole day. I just don't my kids to be carefree when they are teenagers because they will regret it sooner or later.
