Of Travels, Troubles, Uteri and Mammaries

-
Such was the range of topics we chatted about. Being friends from way back (since grade/high school), our evening together would always be a session of "no-holds-barred" chatter, usually picking up from where we last left off. The last time we all gathered in one place was December 2010 during our high school silver jubilee held at DLS-Zobel's gym in Alabang. And things have happened since then.... so...

We tried to take turns but we could hardly keep up, each one trying to catch her breath while recounting significant (as well as insignificant. ha-ha!) events... Picture all six of us (and we're not even the complete group!) blabbing excitedly and laughing almost at the same time... Tsk, such a raucus! Never a dull moment there.

I have to give it to my Manila friends to pull an instant get-together each time I happen to be in town... health concerns and tight travel schedules notwithstanding. Having them around always makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over...

...just like when we were schoolgirls.


Friends
All giggly at Starbucks, Madrigal (Ayala Alabang)

Angels Are All Around Us

by Junnie Metro Manila is still wet. Some parts are still with knee-deep waters. One thing we have going for us is that we have strong faith that this too shall pass, and that the Filipino will rise above. It is October already and it seemed that no one noticed that we arrived Manila last Monday at the heels of the weekend Typhoon Ondoy visited the country. This week we celebrated the feast of the Archangels - Raphael, Michael and Gabriel, and last Thursday, we celebrated the feast of our Guardian Angels. What a whole week of heroic deeds from Pinoys helping their kababayans, and for all the angels in our lives. :)

School and a Mixed Bag of Emotions

"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet. I often find myself introspecting... about the nest almost empty now and other similar thoughts. And I struggle to stop myself from wallowing in a mixed bag of emotions. It's not a bad thing, except, I could waste hours doing that. I thought I was totally in control and could dismiss the situation as another milestone, like seeing your child lose his first baby tooth. Nothing a warm hug or an ice cream could not fix. On the contrary, that hug at this time just exacerbates the yearning. It

by Linnor When the boys are home, their room doesn't stay as orderly as the pic above.  Mistulang binagyo kapag silang lahat ay nasa loob ng kanilang asul na kwarto. :) Merong nag-gigitara, merong nagko-kompyuter at merong naglalaro ng Lego.  Sa madaling sabi, pag nasa silid sila, talagang di maiiwasan ang pagiging makalat nito.  :P Anyway, at least nasa bahay lang sila at hindi nagbabarkada sa labas. Pero sa totoo lang, after a long day at work or from school, it's always nice to come home to a clean house.  Ang sarap magpahinga sa maayos na kabahayan pagkatapos ng mahabang araw  di ba?
