My "kumare" went back here in the Philippines last November to pick up her children and join them in New Zealand. One day in a cold NZ December, her nine year old son told her:
Son: Mommy, malamig pala dito. Kung malamig lang pala gusto niyo e di sana nag-Baguio na lang tayo
Mommy: Anak, wala kaming trabaho ni Papa mo doon sa Pinas
Son: E pano, pag nawalan kayo ng trabaho, lilipat tayo ulit?
My "kumare" migrated to New Zealand this year.
My cousin left to work in Jeddah after his bar exam.
A month and a half after my sister joined her husband in Singapore.
Two weeks after, Pipes received his working visa and soon thereafter board the plane to Riyadh.
Then, yesterday Robert's on his way to work overseas again.
And Vicky will be spending her Christmas vacation in Washington DC.
Gosh! I need to go out! I need some air....

Just talked to Grace from Vietnam, she'll be coming home for the holidays. Whew!
I have read the following on the internet..
Think it’s very possible.. I am in love with someone who I know doesn’t love me back in the same way… and I’m still always going to have those feelings for him even though all we’ll ever be is just friends.
And it made me think..and I wonder.. is it possible? Guess, I’ll agree. It is possible. Kudos to the one who wrote it, the message is so unconditional… so loving.. full of acceptance…
Symptoms:
Dr.: So what's it with you this time?
P: A few months ago, I felt this kind of feeling...kind of awkwardness, there was a twitching in my feet and hands..my heart beat faster then I froze, my mouth and throat went dry.. I couldn't speak...my mind went blank and I felt paralyzed. Did I have a mild stroke, Doc?
Dr.: Maybe. Maybe it's acute panic anxiety reaction. We'll see after you have an MRI. Go on.
P: Then, I felt okay as if nothing happened so I postponed going to Makati Med. I am amused of all the new sensations I am now feeling; I'm jumpy and I laugh a lot at very little things as if there is something tickling me. But there are times when I feel sad.. well, more of longing for something..so I took this drug which the ad said makes Piolo and Angel complete. And I feel different. It is amazing…and puzzling at the same time. It is as if I am in someplace else, doing something else..being with someone else. Most of the time my mind is wandering, wondering..bordering on dreamy.
Dr.: What drugs are you taking now?
P: Here, I am only taking this. It's been six months since I took Virlix for my asthma. Hmm.. could it be possible Doc, that it has a hallucegenic and amphetamine like properties?
Diagnosis:
Dr.: (took the pill and examined it) Hmmm… Where did you buy this?
P: At a small pharmacy near my place. I just told the lady at the counter to give me the drug that makes people complete.
Dr.: When did you start taking this?
P: Four months ago.
Dr.: This is bad..very bad.. maybe a lot of complications…You should probably take a blood test…an angiogram..No..a full body scan..definitely a brain scan...
P: What is it doc?
Dr.: Hmm..a disease mostly affects women…. a viral infection.. usually airborne..
P: ..I-Is it curable?
Dr.: Yes and No. When you said 'someone else'…in your "high" times..isn't it the same person..everytime? Probably someone older, lanky, with absurd ideas… ok fine..witty or whatever, has a weird walk and…
Patient: Uhmm..sort of..yeah?
Dr. House: A love bug. Go home. Get some sleep. Spray some insecticide in your home or whatever, just don't bother me anymore.
Catch me... I'm fallin'!.. Where's my portkey? Ugh! Fine. I'll just Disapparate… soon.

Seriously?
