I am both feeling sad and happy. Sad for a few reasons. We’re leaving Nyke and Mochi in a few days and won’t be seeing them for almost a year. Unlike in the past when we made two trips to the US in a year, this year we can’t. We’re not coming back in May like we used to. We don’t have our annual May family reunion scheduled yet. We are not spending Thanksgiving nor Christmas here either and not this coming New Year in Las Vegas. But of course, we will be here in January 2023 before my son’s birthday. That’s a very long time to be away from my son. I bet he likes it better that way. Wala ang mga parientes na makukulit.
I feel happy to see my preggy daughter. She needs assistance in prepping up the house in preparation for the tiny prince’s, or princess, arrival in early July.
Lest we forget, we are still employed. We left some work behind. Kailangang maghanap buhay para merong panglakwatsa. 😛😇😛
1:30 pm
When we are here we are also busy doing a variety of things.
I haven’t finished decorating the gazebo.
We went to Seafood City to drop off a balikbayan box. While Edmund was filling up the shipping forms I stood beside the store’s glass doors and watched people go by.
2:39 pm
I observed the Filipinos who were coming and going. Most were carrying grocery items and some with a cartful of Pilipino goodies.
We’re all busy with our own world. Every person has a place in this world, a role to play, whether we play a major role in making this world a better place, or we choose to be the spectators, or mere ornaments. It doesn’t really matter what you choose to do. As long as you don’t become a liability to yourself, to others, and to this world.
I was watching this pretty young mother slumped on the pavement near the entrance of Seafood City. I can’t judge her why she was starting the life of her kid that way. Only she could tell.
