Lazy Tuesday...

Hmmm..have we changed much? I was 10 when my Tatay left for the USA to work. My Nanay went there when I was 14. They both came back home in 1995. This is a very typical family scenario here in the Philippines. The head of the family [or in some cases, it's the mother] go outside the country for work. Sad but true. As time goes by, the kids might get into trouble [drugs, alcohol, smoking and what not] for lack of parental guidance. I am grateful we turn out okay. Yes, one of us got into trouble along the way but it's all good now. We're blessed than some people. I know it and I am so grateful.

NG will finally have a weekend off this week. Told him he should just rest and do the things that he's been putting off because of lack of time. If only he lived nearer, I could help him since my weekend is pretty much for chores anyways. Or send Monica Geller to his house no? Those boxes have been there since he moved to that house. I think, that was back in March. Each week I see them on cam, the pile is getting higher it seems. Heee.

I didn't do much today. Got up late since I didn't have work. Chatted with NG for a bit. Then just played some computer games. Then tried to nap around 4pm-ish. Then had dinner at Kalye Juan, it was Uncle Boss's 57th birthday. Food was yummy. Price was affordable. 11 persons and the bill was about Php2500++ me thinks.

Must go to bed now. Hope you have a fine rest of the week. Keep the faith. God Bless.
