Family

It feels good to hear your brothers screaming with happiness. It happens today when I called them and told them I've met our mom already. They were so happy and they wished they could meet mom in real also, and not just by phone call. I told them that one day, when time is right, we can all gather together. I explained to my other brother Nicko that mother is working as a maid.

We are a broken family as my mom and my father separated. Just yesterday, my brother had asked me whether I think mom is ok. Now I could confirm, yes she's ok. My brother wanted to help mom even a little. He told me even though our mom left us years ago for someone else, he wants us all to help our mom. His reason is that if it's not because of mom we all wouldn't be here in this world. Hence, as her children, we are inclined to help her and to help each other. I told him not to worry! As the eldest I know my obligation. We will help mom and support her with her current plan. My brothers are very caring and they have accepted mom without thinking about the mistakes she had done before. I know no one to blames about the past since my dad made mistakes too. We have to start over again.

Scared by ghosts

Today, it is raining here at my place and the power sunddenly went off while I was writing blogs. Too bad for me and it's also too hot even it's raining. Now I'm trying to write blogs on my phone and I will have to copy&paste it later. Oh now the power is back! But the wifi is not working yet! I will have to wait for a few minutes and for sure it will work!

The good thing is: everytime we have a brownout in my place the power is back in just half an hour. Well sometimes it takes longer like couple of hours but most of the time it comes back in just a short while. I really don't like being alone during a brownout at night. It scares me because of the ghosts. I know there are people who don't believe in ghosts and who laugh at all that. But I hate being left alone in a dark place because I'm a coward person sometimes when I am alone. I avoid to watch scary movies too because that's another thing that makes be fearing of dark and it doesn't go away from my mind. I know sometimes I'm the only one scaring myself.

Here in my apartment I started getting scared when one of my friends told me she saw here something and she felt it was a ghost. I wasn't scared before that even when I was alone, but now that she said that, I can't be alone anymore. That's why whenever my friends leave I always ask for one of my friend's daughter to stay with me since we live in the same compound. Huhuhu, ghost exist, believe me!

Birthday Gift Part 2

God never failed to make my wish come true! I had wished to see my mom on my bday. And yes it happened yesterday I saw her even it's not my birthday yet. Seeing my mother is everything to me! I was so happy yesterday that I had finally met her again after I've waited for so long. I had tears in my eyes yesterday the first time I saw my mother. She was a bit skinny; I guess it was because of too much work. I had always thought of my mom as a hard working mother. It was really great that I've seen her and she's ok. I have nothing to worry about her now, we can also talk whenever we want and see each other in real once in a while. I want to have quality time with my mom to talk about what she had been doing back in the province she went. She didn't tell me much yet, but I will try to call her whenever she's free to ask her things. Right now everything is so perfect, I know where she is and we can see each other and talk with each other. I am so happy that she's just out there and she's ok, and my wish is granted.

Subic

It was really a tiring day for me when I went to Subic and same day I headed back home. I wasn't expecting that the christening party would bore me. After church we went to a resort in Olongapo for the christening venue. Everybody went for swimming, for food and for singing since there was a karaoke. It was certainly fun for those who enjoyed those kind of activities, but I myself was too tired. I was so sleepy. Well I'm not really into it: I hate swimming and I cannot sing! I told to my friends I don't want to go but my friend persuaded me to come with them. So I did, even though Subic is kind of boring for me. I would be enjoying if I'd go to Subic for jet skiing. This is more fun than just swimming in the pool. I love jet ski and I feel so cool driving it, I can't drive a motor bike that's why I like jet skiing since it's easier. I did it in Boracay once and in Subic for a couple of times. Its kinda expensive though that's why I  haven't driving one for nine months now. Another thing I liked in Subic is that it's not really polluted unlike Manila. Subic is already a province that's why the air is fresh ... Well, that's all I can say about Subic.

Birthday gift

If I were to choose what birthday gift to have I would choose to have my mom with me on my birthday...

I really do miss my mom. It's been so long that I haven't seen her. I experienced many birthdays without her, and my next birthday is coming this 29th. Well, it would be great if she could see me even if it's not my birthday. I have many plans what we could do together: I would take her out for a date with me, eat, buy her something I afford to give to her, go home to the province together to visit my brothers, etc. I have a lot of things in mind to do if I see her again. I have many dreams what to do when she is here. I really do miss her and I am worried because I don't know where she's at and I don't know if she's ok. We did not have contact for long time. I am really a daughter longing for a mother presence. We'll it's not too late to hope I still have a week to wait for her to come if not I hope she could still remember that it's her daughter birthday ...

Ohhh ... I just heard my mom is in Manila ... I need to go to Manila ... I will find her! If I find her, that will be my best birthday gift!
