Away from Home

I've just got home last night from our Cebu - Bohol tour. I've been out for almost a week and I miss our house so much. The tour was fun. I enjoyed it but there's a part of my brain that was left in our house. Maybe it's because we had a problem just before I left the house. My mom and my older sister had an argument and it's because of me. I understand why my ate got so mad because I also made a mistake but I think she just don't understand mama's point that she just want to help me. It's just too personal so I won't say it here in details. While I'm on tour, I can't help but think how things were going on in our house or was my parents o.k., was mama having a hard time taking care of my nephews, was my father feeling sick... things like that. I also had a lot of physical and emotional stress while I'm on tour. I'm with my classmates and I met a lot of people there. We sailed on the ship, ride on the bus, slept on a hotel... Actually, we lacked sleep because we had a lot of activities. We also had a training onboard. It's all fun but tiring as well. I think I gained more weight because we're also eating a lot while having a tour. When it comes to emotional stress, I could say that I hold my temper well. I was so sensitive but I just kept it all in. It's hard 'cause there were times when I want to shout and say things that I wanna say but I can't... and I don't. I've understand that people really have different personality. I can't please all the people around me, even if they were my friends. I just felt bad that I'm the only one who's adjusting to them and they don't adjust to me. Maybe it's also my fault 'cause I was so sensitive but as what I said I just kept it all in. I don't say anything that could hurt them. On the lighter side, I still enjoyed our tour. We went to different spots on Bohol and Cebu. I even bought their delicacies and souvenirs a long with my classmates. Too bad I wasn't able to buy a guitar 'cause it's too expensive. In that five days that I was out of our house, I really learned a lot. There was one line that I used to remember... "People can have skills and intelligence but they cannot succeed if they don't have the attitude". It's how you handle things that was going your way. Everyday of our life is a journey. It's not always a smooth sailing trip. We will always encounter hard roads but we should find a way to get through it. Being away from home was not easy. We will meet a lot of people and we have to deal with them. Really, there's no place like home. It's always safe and comfortable in our own house. c,")

It's already March 10 and I have a lot of relatives who will celebrate their birthday this March. Today is my niece birthday, Kristel. She's turning 15 then tommorrow will be my mom's birthday. On the 19th. will be my niece birthday and on the 21st. will be my best bud's birthday, Bryan. On the 29th. will be my brother's birthday... it's also Tae Hee's birthday, one of my fav'rite Korean actress. She's turning 27. Last will be on the 30th. which is my cousin's birthday, Ate Clang. Wow!!! what a birthday blasts! I'm also leaving for our tour on Monday. I'll be out for five days. I'm sure that I'll miss our house and of course my room. Hope I won't vomit when I get into the boat. We'll be staying there for two days I think. I'll also miss surfing the net. After our tour will be our Finals... after the fun, it's all the work. I just hope I'll enjoy our tour and also learn at the same time.

Oldies glimpse on the past...c,")

I bought Yeng's album last Tuesday and I can say that her songs are really good. It has a touch of rock music in every song but it's still good to listen to... not that irritating in the ear. My current favorite is "Cool Off". It has a nice melody and lyrics. On the other hand, something bad happened to me today and I really felt sad about it. But I think I should not think of it so I won't feel bad the whole day. The weather's too hot and I'm quite dizzy right now. We went to lola's house last night 'cause my tito was there. He just came in yesterday morning from L.A. so my parents visited him. They talked about everything. He even played organ last night so we went home quite late 'cause my dad enjoyed listening to him while he was playing the instrument. My dad asked me if I still remembered the day when I was still playing the organ and I told him that I do. I just can't remember if I still know how to play right now 'cause it's been so long since I did it. I was just around 8 or 9 that time. While they were listening to the music, they remembered the times when they were still in high school. They even talked and shared their experiences when they were at that age so I was like laughing all the time. It's nice to hear that they still remembered all those times 'cause it's been a decade already. I just love listening to them. I also thought that maybe if I reached their age, I'll also be like them... reminiscing memories when I was still young. Anyway, my mom's birthday's fast approaching. I think I should buy her a gift.

Events that happened...

It's my father's birthday yesterday. He just turned 65 but he doesn't look like it. He still looks like he was just 50... hehe! Ate Nenen and her whole family went to our house last night. They went there to eat dinner and give gift to my father. My eldest brother and his family just left yesterday afternoon. I felt sad that they just stayed in our house for three days and a half. I didn't get to spent more time with them 'cause I still have a class and it always end late. Anyway, I think I'll gain weight again because of the fiesta. My mom will definitely won't like it 'cause she wants me to be thinner... haha! Our Cebu - Bohol tour will be two weeks from now. My mom told me to join and so I will. Hope I'll enjoy and learn at the same time. Last Wednesday, I slept at around 2:30 am 'cause me and my nephew, Aaron talked the whole evening. I also went to school last Wednesday. My class was from 4:00 - 7:00 pm so I got home late already. I wasn't able to attend class yesterday 'cause I woke up late. Good thing there's no class yesterday. They just went to Laguna to watch toque's festival at UPHL. Now, it's just an ordinary day. There's no PH tonight 'cause it's shown until Thursday only. I hope I can watch Love contract tonight. I just love watching Asianovelas. There's no teleserye that appeals to me now. Hope they can make one good teleserye to watch for.
