All I can do is imagine what might have happened to my family after hearing and reading and seeing what has happened to millions of homes and families and establishments and bridges etc in Bicol due to the typhoon. Believe me, my imagination's running as wild as a beast. I know you would too if you heard that there were flash floods. Lahar. Water above people's heads already. Houses completly submerged. Dead people floating in the river. People literally dead on the streets. Hundreds missing. Hundreds dead. Thousands homeless. Bridges gone. Transportation zero. And I know you would too if the last message you received from your mom was 2 days ago [Thursday morning]. And when all she said was that it may be her last text already since the electricity's gone and she didn't have battery anymore. Then she says God be with you.
The guilt I feel devours me whole.
I just hope they're okay. I pray everyone will be okay.

ruthiee: hindi, sanay na yun
ruthiee: hahaha
vianca: hahahaGood riddance.. Is 20 hours of sleeping weird? Hahaha! I have nothing to do anyway. I just wake up, watch TV, PS, internet, eat a little, sleep a little. Hahaha. Yeahhh, bum. Pero sanay na nga talaga nanay ko :D Kasi tatay ko ganun din. Bwaha.
When my dad was still here [I mean he's still alive but when he was still in the Philippines], saturdays were sleep time. Sundays were church time then sleep time then buhbye time. Haha. My dad works in Manila and he comes home to Bicol every week. Fridays to be exact. Either by bus or by plane, doesn't matter, just as long as he's with us during Saturdays and Sundays. Then Sunday night, he'd be off to Manila again.
Basically, Papa goes home to sleep. Isn't that cute? Hehe. But most of the time he'd wake me up on Saturday afternoons to go swimming. Hurray. We pick up loads [as in loads! around 50-75 pieces] of ice cream sticks from the grocery [we leave some at home], pick up my cousins, and weee go swimswimswimmin in the
sea pool. Yey! Papa would swim for a while then he'd go to sleep again :D When he wakes up, he'd take a quick dip while we tidied up then buhbye pool see you next week.
When we get home, he'd get three ice cream sticks from the freezer. He'd give me one; the other two were for his tummy hehe. My mom would cook chicken for dinner. Or sometimes when she gets a little retarded, she cooks Japanese [OO SOBRANG WEIRD pero talagang todo japanese pati bowls cups pati yung table dun kami sa mababang table para feel na feel na naksquat hahaha, ganun kaweird pamilya ko DATI hahaha].
I wish my mom always gets retarded >:) After our ice cream sticks, guess what we'll do. Papa will.. Sleep and I will play 'interactive games' hahahaha. Yep. Computer. Wahaw. The computer was my bestfriend. Wait. It still is, haha.
After dinner, either Papa would doze off again or he'd sit in front of the computer until the wee hours of ze morning. It all depended on the unfinished work he had blahblah. [Ahem ahem cough cough bad for my health daw ang pagpuyat o, tsktsk haha]
Then Sunday. Sunday. We go to the 11am mass, then lunch at my uncle's place. After some chitchat, we go home to sleep. Haha. Sleep until 5pm. Papa's bus leaves at 6pm. My mom would always ask Papa to check his things because he might forget something. He would say everything's okay, then we'll leave home. BUT
sometimes, on our way, Papa remembers that forgot something at home. Just when we're near the bus station he suddenly remembers. HAHAHA. Then my mom would say 'O. Iyo na an ang pigtataram ko.' ['O, ayan na nga ba ang sinasabi ko.'] 'Tsktsk. Padara mo na sana.' ['Tsktsk. Padala mo na lang.'] Very good. Hahahaha. Good job.
Hmm.. I wink now. Hahahaha. Might be the genes :)
