Lately, it seems to me that I haven’t really been keeping in touch with my friends back in the Philippines. I could say I’ve been so busy, but that’s not really true. I mean, what could I be so busy with that I don’t have time to go online and drop them a mail or chat them up on Yahoo? All I really do here at home is housewife stuff — make breakfast/lunch/dinner (I love Tuna Helper and Hamburger Helper!), wash and dry clothes, Formula 409 everything, vacuum, etc. (No, Jay and I haven’t tied the knot yet, in case you’re wondering.) Let me just say that I love that I can do all these things now, instead of being the helpless/hopeless case I was before.
Anyway. I think part of the why is because I feel so far away from everybody. That’s lame, I know. Like if I YM Precious, she’s gonna talk about the UAAP games, and how it sucks that Ateneo lost to UP in that one game by 10 points. And I can’t be a part of it really, because I wasn’t there. I’m 8,167 miles away from all of that. Well I know one reason why keeping in touch is important is precisely so I don’t feel so disconnected from everybody. So that’s probably something I should be better about.
And another reason why is because I feel like I won’t have much to say about what’s going on here. Yes, I’m still with Jay. No, I haven’t started working yet. No, I still don’t know how to drive. Yes, I’ve met Jay’s family. Yes, they like me. No, Jay and I aren’t getting married yet. No, I haven’t gotten fat. Yet.
P.S. Iya, thanks for sending me that letter. I loved it. Please send me your new address once you start studying. Remind me to give you my new address in OKC too. xoxo
mommy asked me about you and I said, “hindi ko alam. kinalimutan na nya ko.”
Hehe, drama. I don’t go online on Yahoo as much as I used to. Mostly tinatry ko matuto magluto, naglilinis (may pagka-therapeutic siya), nanood ng TV, etc. May job na pala ako! Sa AT&T. Pero hindi ko pa tinatanggap. :)
