Mikaela's Moon

I had a very busy and tiring Friday. Raymund and I went to Batangas City, my hometown, to give the Parental Consent form to my mom. We arrived at 12:30 pm, just in time for lunch. It was weird to be coming home again, after 4 months. I guess I got so used to just being in Manila. I can't quite describe the feeling as the jeep stopped in front of our subdivision's entrance. Excited? Anxious? Scared? Nervous? Happy?

I was very surprised to see my uncle in our house. Tito Paul is my mom's younger brother, second to the youngest. He took care of me when I was young, because my mom was in charge of his schooling before. It appeared that he just arrived from Muntinlupa, and mom was just going to take him to the hospital. He has been having nervous attacks, and he hasn't been able to sleep and eat. They were just waiting for us to arrive and then they left to go to the hospital in Lipa City.

Raymund and I were left at home, and we watched Shrek 2 after lunch. My mom got back at around 4, and we played with my brothers for a while. My brothers are HUGE. Take this: my youngest bro Marx is 3 years old and his waist line is 25. My other bro Marven is 11 years old and his waist line is 31. WOW! I'm the only normal person among them! Sheesh.

Mom drove us to the bus terminal at around 4:15. We dropped by her friend's house, my Tita Susan. I was really glad to see her. Her family has been our friend since I was 10 years old. I introduced my future husband to her.

I am glad that my mom has told some friends that I am getting married soon. My parents have stopped hiding the truth about me, why I don't go home as often as I used to. I am also surprised that we were able to talk about some people we knew, about some relatives, some neighbors...It was like the old days. It appears that she's taking German language lessons along with her Doctorate degree. Wow. I felt proud and happy for her. I knew she always wanted to study. She has this unsatisfied hunger for knowledge. I was able to read a lot of good books because of her. I got my bookworm personality from her.

I was asleep on the bus ride home. We stopped by SM Megamall for the sale. I bought a new pair of jeans, blouse and belt. WOW! I haven't been able to buy new clothes for months...It was late when Raymund and I got home, almost midnight. Our friends from Sykes were trying to get us to go to Timog for a drinking session, but we were too tired to go. Raymund still has work at 6am. He told me I could tag along if I wanted to, but I was so tired that all I wanted was to sleep.

Anyways, bad news at work. Batch 6 and 7 were transferred to a different account. It appears that we are 'overstaffed'. What the?! The results? Queue and a lot of abandoned calls. Sigh. Oh well.

Today, there are only around 10 of us. Plus one supervisor and one Tier 2. It is so cold, as usual. It's a pain to be at work tonight, coz there's a birthday party bak in the house for my sister-in-law. Damn. I haven't been drop dead drunk for ages.
I will just try to update my site to keep myself busy...waaaaah!
