My siblings and I are fond of surprising our mother with our "instant" arrival in our hometown. I am overwhelmed with feelings when I see my mother's reaction as soon as she sees me enter our door unexpectedly. I seldom go home. I feel lucky already if I get to visit her twice a year. My parents live in a very far province. If I travel through bus, it will take me 21 hours to get there. Yes, that's how far my hometown is from where I live now. If I take the plane, it's only an hour away. But the plane company has only three flights in a week : Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Either way, I will have to take a week off from work. And it will not be soooo easy.
I know my mother is hoping all three of her children who are in Manila to go home for the town fiesta. We've already told her none of us could go home. But it was all a drama, of course. While my sister and I could not definitely make it, my brother could. So tomorrow morning, he will be arriving unannounced in our home. I could only imagine the surprised look on my mother's face. My brother's lucky. His bosses allowed him a week off. Well, maybe in recognition of his performance (he's sooooo hardworking hehehehe). I envy him because he could spend a week with my parents.
I hope I could go home, too. Soon. And see once again the smile on my mother's face as I enter the door.
bea.. bea… bea… you go girl.. congratulations on your babies =) next time dapat real ones na..hehe napatawa mo ako with your rendition of our native song..hehe thank you! i have not been reading blogs in a while as i was so caught up with working on our family website… and yeah i have you there as my fave links… my posts in homeschoolblogger gets automatically posted in there too.. so if you do come and see me, go directly to our family website k.. i love your posts on office policies.. once upon a time i have been a career woman like you so i can totally relate.. amusing pero may point sya… nanay.. how sweet to say that word, i think i will need to teach that to my boys.. when my mom was still around (she is with the Lord now) they live in bacolod and we worked in manila, my sister and i love to give them surprise visits too, as soon as she saw us by that door she would start crying… i miss mamang to this day i still cry when i remember her. looking back i wish i could have spend more time with her, it was a tough choice since we bring home a huge part of the family income… o sya.. until then.. keep posting! i love reading your list! ohhh.. did i tell you i have friendster too..hehe don’t ask why k.. but i did find some long lost friend there! hugs…
