GOODBYE, 2013!

death

Maybe it was coz of my Facebook post before I slept last night that I dreamed of these two precious people, in their old bedroom, ready to get to sleep...

So, I had to leave the room so they can rest, and I gave them each a peck on their cheeks (which was unusual) and said goodbye, and they also said their goodbyes to me... (Tatay even waved...)

I am thankful that I was able to see them again... but sad coz I terribly miss them... 



I will be facing the coming years with inspiration from them, from their love. I have no regrets when I look back to the times I spent with them...

I am actually grateful for Cebu Pacific Air (plugging?!) for I was able to treat them to all-expense vacation to their homeland, Guimaras, --TWICE, thanks to their affordable promos. Then they'd both ask when will the next promo be, so we can all go again. If Cebu Pacific Air can read my post, my Lola was really very proud that our airline tickets were cheaper than the tax we paid at the airport, that she went bragging it to everyone she got to talk to back in Guimaras and here in Manila...

I really thank God that they were given to us to be our grandparents, our Mamang and Tatay...

I am blessed because of them... 

Goodbye, Mamang and Tatay... until we meet again!

I MISS HIM TODAY.

grannies

He has always been one of my kakampi sa lahat ng bagay. Especially when it involves my grandmother.

He has always understood. Always thoughtful. Always caring...

He was always giving. I really won't ever forget his gesture when he tried to give me his most memorable P100 bill just so I can do my follow-up interview.

He never failed to take care of my grandmother and everyone, even when his body was failing him...

He loved my grandmother so much.

He always tried to be strong.

He tried to go to church even if he has to walk with crutches, and even when his knees hurt with all the sitting and standing inside the church.

He loved God and His words.

Though I miss him so much, I know he's in a better place now, I can't complain.

No One BLOGS Anymore!

blogging

The latest entries I've seen from other blogs were way back 2011!

And I speak for myself when I say --I blame Facebook!

Anyway I was thinking of what I have not blogged about since my hiatus, and there were some few significant events. I actually posted them in Posterous --which now just says Good night, Posterous! I was not even given the chance to back-up my files!

So I will be stating a few:


July 14, 2012. My grandparents celebrated their 52nd Wedding Anniversary!


August 3, 2012. My Lolo/Tatay passed away. My grandmother's been sad and sickly since then.




August 13, 2012. My monster mom, who fondly calls me her princess and was sorry she did not adopt me when I was younger, passed away too. This photo was taken in 2010.


I also had a puppy! His name was HAPPY. Sadly, he passed away too.

So, basically, I remembered only the sad events. It's not that nothing GOOD happened, maybe they're just not that significant. ^_^

I'm 27???

birthday

before today ends... i just want to make a blog note of what happened today.


of course i turned 27 as of 4.30 this morning. my mom kept telling me at 27 she already had 4 children. i don't want to elaborate on what she meant by that.

i woke up at 9 am and didn't want to get up. but i had to because my lola requested for MY macaroni salad, because the one my mom made last christmas was bland :) so i went there to make it. or watch THEM (mom and tito joey) then i would bring it down to my grandma til it suits her tastebuds. (speaking of which, i lost mine last new year's eve and i think i still lose it every now and then... blog note!)

then we went back to my place to eat, and to have visitors, and that's it. :) i'm sleepy... i can't think anymore... i have to sleep... i NEED to sleep.

thank you Lord, again, for letting me see my 27th year. :)

i killed a chicken.

coffee


last Tuesday in Guimaras, I was having breakfast by myself (grannies went to visit some relatives --dead and alive) and was waiting for my brother who went out to buy me coffee from the not-so-nearby store, when it rained.
so it took a while for my brother to come back, and i was already itching for my dose of coffee when i noticed this chicken wandering about by the kitchen. i tried to ignore it but because i had nothing to do, having eaten my bf and just anxiously waiting for my coffee, i shooed it off. it then flew to my grannies make-shift bedroom just between living room and kitchen... so i followed it and tried to shoo it again, and it flew off again to the counter this time, and it irked me thinking it would spread some of its germs on the spoons and forks and all other uncovered utensils so I got my grandma's cane and tapped it to the kitchen counter hoping it would scare the chicken! but the chicken just ran around the counter and so i hit it by reflex... and noticed it was bleeding by the nose :)
it then quivered and tried to fly ON MY DIRECTION which scared me so i ran to the living room calling my younger cousin who was playing PLANTS vs. ZOMBIES!
when we got there, it was lying lifeless on the floor...poor chicken. i couldn't count the times i said "I'M SORRY". and i think i was saying sorry to the chicken and its unknown owner... oh my god i am a murderer.


so my grandma decided to cook it ^_^

grannies

2 days ago, my grannies have come home.

happiness. i really miss them. the thought of having them near makes me happy. anyway, the other day, i combed my grandmother's hair so she can have her siesta, and i remembered doing it when i was still young. there was this one time when i got so bored of doing it and i just wanted to go out and play but she wouldn't let me, not unless she slept. so i just pretended combing her hair, rolling the comb all the way to her scalp. then the comb got stuck and i couldn't take it off, so i silently slipped out of their room, leaving her sleeping with her hair tangled on a comb.

i don't clearly remember what happened next. but i do remember i saw one neighbor chatting with her while trying to get the comb off her hair. and hearing that they would need to cut it made me so guilty. and that she didn't get mad at me.

btw, j's field trip was okay. i didn't like it. the whole time i felt sleepy and tired and bored. but i had to attend to her. the stage-sister that i am, to all my sibs. what really made my day was seeing the migratory birds (or migrant?) (--got me confused) along the rice swamps, whatever they call it. they were beautiful.

btw part 2, i am so grateful to be here on philippine soil for the holiday seasons. i just can't imagine myself being anywhere away from here. thank You po...
