Peace of mind

I really want to have peace of mind…I don’t know…I am so confused…I got to think a lot of things...I am bothered by many things….wew!!!

I want to go to a place where I can be all by myself. A place where no one will give me a ring…where no one can call my name…where no one will talk to me…where no one will wake me up…where I can sleep the whole day.

I tried to stay late at night so to have the quietness but it took me to hell…got a head ache! I tried talking to a friend and just tell her how I feel but just the same…I tried to sleep but there’s a lot of things waiting to be done out there!

I want to run away…I want to leave home and never tell them where I’ll be. I want to go near the sea and just look up the sky. I want to climb a mountain and be there on top and just simply sit down and shout if I feel like shouting.

I really want to be alone this time…I don’t know why. May be I’m just too tired or stressed. I want to unload. Ooopsss! One thing I forgot to do…I’ll talk to Him!

A Hectic Saturday

Have you ever felt really tired (as in tired) and you really want to just lie on the bed and rest and rest and rest!

Last Saturday, I was tired (as in pagud na pagod talaga ako). Ooops, before Saturday, I was in SM with my Tita Helen and Jennard waiting for Chard (one fine time, huh!)

I got up early in the morning and prepare the foods and things for Chard (he has office even on Saturdays and Sundays). And then took our breakfast and fixed the dishes and everything we used.

Afterwards, I went to the market with my ever dearest mother. I bought our foods: fish, meat, beef, pork, vegetables, fruits and others…

And when I finally arrived home, I brought with me Bamster and paid Meralco bills and as usual bought toys.

And so, we ate lunch and started to clean and fix the house. And of course the most “nakakapagod of all” was laundering our clothes. This time a mountain of clothes (lakas magbihis ni Bam eh and pati si papa Chard). I started at around 4 pm and ended up at around 7:30 p.m.

And you know what? I still have the energy to cook for our dinner. I rested for a while and Chard arrived home and again prepared and fixed his foods.

I took Bam a bath and made him sleep. And finally at 12 midnight, I also took a bath and brushed my teeth. I was planning to iron our uniforms but because I was already tired, I slept with my hair still wet!

PROUD MOMMY

My 3 year old son is already studying in a day care center. Wow! I can't believe it! Just a few years ago he was in my arms. A few years ago he was crawling on the floor. A few years ago he was a baby!

Ched and I were really very excited to see him in school. We bought him uniform and even went to the grocery and bought him his "baon", towels, socks, bag, and school requirements, etc...

I was also nervous at the same time. I'm wondering what will he do? Maybe he will wander around the room, play with the things around, talk with his classmates or maybe fight with them. O my God! I wouldn't be there to stop him.But everything turned out right. My little boy is behave in the class. So attentive and constantly raising his hand to answer the questions of the teacher.

My mom and my mother in law were the ones who look after my son. And with the stories they shared during his first few days, I was really glad and so flattered at the same time.

It's good that he easily learned how to count numbers and how to recite the alphabet. It's good that he already knows what are the parts of his body and face. It's good that he was exposed to educational books. It's good that he knows a few songs and a few poems. It's good that he knows various names of animals. It's good that he can distinguish colors and can tell different shapes. It's good that he knows how to use the words "po" and "opo". It's good that he knows how to make the sign of the cross and how to pray. It's good that he knows who is Mama Mary and Baby Jesus. It's good that he watches cartoons coz he can practice speaking the English language. And it's good that he easily learns things when you tell him. And a lot more.

As a mother I am really proud of him...When you to talk to him, you'll feel that you're talking to a 4 or 6 year old boy. He knows how to reason out. He knows when to give thanks and when to ask for sorry (sometimes inaaway niya si chan at chock!) He shares what he has (but sometimes hindi...hahahha).

He is an extra ordinary boy. There's still so much about my child (of, course). And you know what his teacher placed him in the 11:00 to 1:00 class where his classmates' age ranges from 4-5 years old. According to his teacher he is a fast learner and his intelligence level is not of a 3 year old but that of a 4-6 year old.

Now tell me, is it just right to be a proud mommy having a son like Jennard!

After 7 long years, here she is...

I haven't seen this girl for 7 long years...imagine that, after graduation from college her shadow vanished under the moonlight.

We were classmates way back in college. We were group mates every time the class has a project (in advertising, radio, PR, etc.). And most of all, KABARKADA...and we were both members of the EMPIRE unlimited (a group of people with a world class sense of individuality, style and intelligence).

College days were our happy days. But after graduation, we all have to part ways and face a new world ahead of us. Some of us had communication but as the days swiftly passed, the communication was disconnected. I lost (we) communication with this girl. But not with my two Ka-EMPIRE, H and Chona. We had communication until now and sometimes take time out relaxing from work.

I never heard any news about her. They said she was out of the country, out of town. I wonder how she looks like. Does she still have that braces in her teeth? Does her skin is as white as snow? Does she remember us?

Well, on our part, we remember her always and we truly miss her.

I received a phone call from Chona dear telling me that a long lost friend called her and she was asking me to guess who that was. Luckily, I knew who she was!

Wew! It was Jordinette! At last we found her. Finally, we will cross paths again. Surely, we will reminisce all the events that took place and had shaped our college days as well as our friendship (including the times when were finalizing our thesis...remember that girl!). And I know we will have a lot of things to talk about - GILR TALK!

Can't wait to see you, girlash!
