Diaspora II

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?

Diaspora

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!
