Hello!! How are you all?
By our God's grace, I'm doing fine. Things are great so far. I feel happy and sad at the same time to be back here in Manila. I feel happy because I get to talk to my husband more now than when I was in our province. We don't have internet close to where I live. The closest internet shop we have there is 24 km away from my town. So, you just can't imagine how hard it was sometimes for us to communicate with each other on a daily basis. Phone card is expensive. Not to mention that we can lose signal if we don't have electric power. At least now, we can just both hop online and talk for as long as we both could last.
I'm happy, too that I am with the kids again. I missed my Baba and Poopette too much and I know they missed me as well just as much. I can't believe they've grown that fast. Looking at them sometimes makes me feel I've been away for longer than a month. They both have grown taller and the Little Lady can now say more words. It's so cute hearing Poopette calling Haniel, "Kuway" for "Kuya" [older brother] and Haniel always telling me to call him "Bumble Bee" [Transformers] now instead of Baba. And can you believe that he is calling me "Police Car" now from the movie Transformers still?! hahaha...They really surprised me with so many new things. I just love these kids to death and I love every moment I spend with them. Being an Aunt to them, it's such a feeling that's so beyond compare!!
On the other hand, I feel sad that I had to leave Samar. I already got used to the life I once had before I started living in the city. Since I left Samar for college, this vacation has been the longest one I ever took. Before, the longest period of time of my stay there would only last for 2 weeks. This vacation, I got to stay for more than a month!! I hate having to leave my grandparents, family, and friends once again. I miss the rainy days and nights, though because of that I couldn't leave the house. I won't ever take any day back that I'd just been trapped at home because of heavy rain. Because of that, I got to spend more time with grandpa and grandma. I didn't mind at all if I got bored sometimes because other than reading, listening music, and watching TV, there was nothing else really for me to do. Still, I loved my whole stay there and if God will let me go back, I will in a heartbeat!! I already mentioned about me going back there and staying for another month but it will all depend now on what God has already planned for us. My husband said I can go back if I want to. Well, we're praying for that.
By the way...
My oh my, I've only been here for 3 days but it already feels like eternity!! And Manila is so cold, I can barely last a day without wearing sweater and a pair of socks!! I thought that when it comes to temperature, there would be no difference at all since it was always raining in Samar and cold, too. But I was wrong -- very wrong!! Manila right now feels like Baguio in summer. Even the water is cold. Sometimes I'd joke that there's no need for us to put water inside the fridge to cool them because it won't warm up even if left unrefrigerated. And who would need a cold water in times like this, anyway? Just crazy!! hehehe...
Well, I guess this is all for now. I'm already feeling tired and sleepy and the cool breeze outside is telling me that I need now to get under the covers and warm myself up. So, goodnight everyone and good morning to the ones from the other side of the world ;) I'll write more next time...
