my side of the story.

I'll be leaving for Manila with mom on May 30... which gives me only 7 more days or a week at home. Seven more STRESS FREE days... home-cooked meals... tv show/movie marathons... A week left of pure, honest-to-goodness, "peaceful" living...

Well, yes, summer was a bit boring. Having only one brother who's 7 years older than me and a hundreed thousand miles away, no cousins within the vicinity, closest friends that are four hours away (this is what happens when you go to a boarding school) and basically only my grandmother to talk to during weekdays, you can say I had a first class trip to boringville. But anyway, I enjoyed getting bored (?). I LOVE IT AT HOME. And it isn't too late to spice up my summer for the next seven days.....

and happy 35th to us jac.

Happy Birthday to the following people:

Stevie Wonder (1950)

To the AWESOMENEST (a word only fit for her) MOM... Happy Mom's Day!

Just a random thought:
My first ever memory of my mom was very vivid though it happened way before my preschool years. A hunch would be that I was about 2 or 3 that time. With a pen on hand, I was jumping up and down excitedly at the top of the stairs as I heard her enter the front door, I suppose, from work. I was giggling and shouting "Mama" when my innate clumsiness suddenly arrived from nowhere - by some stroke of fate, I tripped and I managed to cut my forehead with the pen. And then boom. I couldn't remember a thing from there on. Mom said she found me all covered in blood but I wasn't crying in pain or anything, I was in shock. She rushed me to the hospital and got me stitched me up.

My mom basically raised me and my kuya up all by her own. When I got sick, and I got sick A LOT, she was the one who would rush to school to pick me up. I was raised with full of love, hugs, and kisses. Not once did I feel that there was something missing despite the fact that my father wasn't always there. Even though now that I am in college, already capable of taking care of myself, she's still always 24/7 looking out for me despite the distance. She has this knack of ALWAYS knowing what I need even before I realize that I need it. AND she understands and trusts me despite myself...
I recently did something very wrong and I know other's would react differently... but mom? She just hugged me and told me, "I will just be here... Even if you push me away..." :')

A lot may say that their mom is the best.. but that is because they haven't met mine yet. hehe.
I LOVE YOU MAMA...

...but it's not even a room. XD

I was honestly dissapointed that the Merder wedding was postponed. But when Alex said his vows, I lost it. (':
I hope Izzie lives...

Was this supposed to be sweet? :|

We had free LIVE telecast at home and even though if we didn't have, my grandma would surely subscribe through pay-per-view... My brother, being an avid fan of boxing, told my mother to update him of the happenings EVERY single round since he had work and couldn't watch it live in Dubai. Everyone was so excited when the fight started and mom would even shout every time Pacman would punch. HAHA. The excitement was just short-lived though, for it ended so soon with a knockout during the second round. Everyone at home.. the whole neighbourhood.. the WHOLE PHILIPPINES... were up on their feet cheering their hearts out...

HA! Hatton just couldn't bear it... GO PACMAN

HATTON: "uhhh.. who are you?"

"Wake me up when September ends...zzz."

PACMAN: "oooops.."

If looks could just kill.

Pacman giving it all back to God.

PINOY PRIDE: Pound for Pound Champ.

Believe me, i have already lost count of the times when he and I would decide to break up... but then the bottom line of every discourse that we have, may it be through internet chatting, texting, calling, or in person.. is that we just couldn't. So you just know, we've been together for almost three years now. AND WE DIDN'T HAVE A SINGLE ANNIVERSARY THAT WE WE'RE ACTUALLY TOGETHER. Well, at the physical sense at the least.

We got together during our last year in high school. We we're both happy... and then I decided to go to a different university from him. It's hard to explain why but I would say this again, if it matters to him for me to tell him this over and over for the rest of our lives, I will, that I didn't do that for the reason that I didn't love him. And it was also not for the reason that I didn't want to be with him because, for all that God knows, there wasn't, and still isn't, a single day that passes without me missing him and praying to God that I would live a longer life so that I can spend it with him after. I may sound like a thirteen year old who just recently had a puppy-love, but then when you fall in love this part of you called "logic" just seems to fall apart... but then I am still a hundred percent sure that mine is in tact and safe.

The last time we saw each other, I was having an upset stomach and I didn't want to eat or even walk. So we decided to just sit at one of the benches at the mall. The pain was just unbearable and he bacame upset because he thought I wasn't happy... but in fact, despite my diarrhea, it was one of my happiest days. The long months of being apart and lonely faded away and didn't seem that long after all. When I opened his wallet, I saw this list... and it contained all the places and things that he planned for us to do during that visit. He abruptly pulled the paper from me and looked ashamed. He said, not one on the list came true. Well, I don't care about the list and I don't care where we are... all that matters for me is that he's there beside me, even though the limited time.

He's still the sweetest guy I know though this time there weren't any chocolates, or roses, or matching shirts, or a dinner date, or a life-size teddy bear, or a banner saying "i miss you and i love you"... But he rode the bus with me home. And our house is 4 hours away from theirs.

He.. the one I fell for..
wait for me.. my family loves you..
And I love you too..
