My Mother's Bloodline
Saturday
12 Midnight:
I received a message from Kuya Fred.
Kuya Fred: "Kelan k daw uwi?"
Me: "Nasiraan bangka namin eh. Byahe pa lang pabalik. Ngayon lang din ako nagkasignal. Na extend kami sa isla kanina. Baka umaga na ko dumating."
Hindi rin naman ako nakatulog agad. Palibhasa tulog na tulog si EJ sa byahe namin kanina kaya siya naman ang hindi makatulog. Dahil hindi siya matutulog, mukhang wala rin siyang balak magpatulog. Ang ingay-ingay niya. Binuksan pa niya ang TV with matching lakas ng volume. Argh!!!!!
I tried to sleep but him being awake really bothered me. And he asked me to retell him my dream this morning. Eh ang awkward nga. Tapos ang galing galing niyang magtampo eh isa rin siyang pilitan pa bago magkwento. Napakaunfair niya. >_<
I can't breathe. Literal. Pwede ring baka nadidighay lang ako kaya pumunta ako ng banyo. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Burp. Burp. Mga 10x. He went to check up on me. So, I didn't have a choice but to go back to bed. Yet same thing. He still annoyed me. So after few minutes. I did the same. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Burp. Burp. This time, longer. Sinaran ko yung bowl. Dun muna ako nag stay. Ewan ko ba. Nabibwisit na talaga ko kasi. I wanted to rest but I can't because of what EJ is doing. When I stood up, the cover of the bowl created a loud noise. Again, EJ checked up on me and asking what's going on. Hindi ko nga siya pinansin even though he's making the tsk sounds. Hmp! Bahala ka dyan. Sa side ako ng bed na malapit sa wall humiga. He's making a fuss about me covering myself with the blanket. Kasi nga hindi na nga ako makahinga. Or rather, nahihirapan akong huminga. Eh ang ingay eh. Paanong hindi magbablanket?
It's just that. Para kaming aso't-pusa. Then few moments after, nilalambing na niya ko. He was asking kung naiinis na ba ko and he apologized and kissed me goodnight.
We're only booked for 6 hours so we checked out before 6 AM. We took a bus. He paid for our tickets. Sa Cubao siya bumaba. He paid my ticket only until Shaw. Eh kaso sa underpass dumaan yung bus kaya ang layo ko na sa babaan. I worried about my ticket kasi hindi naman na niya naiwanan sakin. However, mas pinili ko pa ring bumaba na lang sa Guadalupe.
I arrived home before 8 AM. I just informed EJ and he replied, "Halos sabay lang tayo. Tutulog muna ko :) Thanks a lot mahal ko. I had so much fun~ Another story to tell of our advetures. :) I Love you~"
Earlier, Ms. Elma asked for a feedback about our tour. I only replied to her when I got home.
Ms. Elma: "gud evening po. kmusta po ung t0ur?"
Me: "Hi ms. Elma, goodmorning! Sorry for the late reply. Okay naman ang tour. Nagkaaberya lang sa boat pauwi. But all-in-all, we had a great time. I also want to commend the three tour guides with us during our tour. Thank you so much for making our adventure possible. :)"
Ms. Elma: "an0 po nangyari sa b0at mam?"
Me: "Nasiraan daw eh. Kaya naghintay pa kami sa white beach sa Capones pa rin ata yun. We were fetched around 6pm i think para iharid sa Pundaquit. Ibang boat na pinadala nila."
Ms. Elma: "ah. pasensya n po s nangyari. na-late po tuloy kau nkauwi."
Me: "Sakin naman walang problema :)"
Ms. Elma: "salamat po ng marami :)"
Me: "Thank you din~"
I ate breakfast with Uncle Pogs. He was once a teacher before he went to the U.S.A. He was sharing some of his experiences here when he was a teacher both in public and private schools. Naexperience daw kasi niya yun pareho. But he's encouraging me to go to Public dahil nandun daw talaga ang challenges. Feeling ko ang dami-dami niya na ring pinagdaanan. Sabi niya nga, naka mind set na raw talaga noon na maging successful ang migration niya dahil sa sobrang hirap ng pinagdaanan niya processing the papers para makaalis ng Pilipinas. Uncle Pogs doesn't have a family of his own. But I think he's happy that way.
Nakakaramdam ako ng antok pero hindi na ako nakatulog hanggang sa magla lunch na raw pala kami. Nakapag-ayos lang ako ng gamit. Pero ako late na ko naligo kaya ako ang huling hinintay. Nauna na sina Kuya Godi with Uncle Pogs, Uncle Tito, Timmy and Auntie Baby.
Before 11 AM, EJ texted saying, "Miss na kita~"
EJ requested that I upload the photos kahit daw yung parang pang prenup lang. I just took advantage of the Wifi that was being searched by my Iphone while waiting for our order in Giligan's. I uploaded the Iphone pictures from our Nagsasa-Capones Tour.
Kumpleto ang family ni Kuya Fred and Ate Chelle with Zac, Zoe, and Zai. Ate Ghen with baby in her tummy, Francine and Gwyneth. Kuya Godi at Ate Wina, (wala sila Sophie at DK dahil may practice na naman sa simbahan.) Ate Em and Joel with his wife Jen and their baby EJ. Uncle Manny and Tita Josette arrived later.
We were disappointed nga lang with the Giligan's service kasi hindi sila maayos magserve ng food. Pati plato. Nauna pa nga ang food kesa sa plato eh. Gutom pa naman na kaming lahat kaya badtrip na badtrip kami. Si Uncle Pogs pa naman ang may pa lunch and he was very disappointed. Ang sarap sanang kumain. Yung buko pandan nila. Sagana lang sa pandan. Kakaunti ang buko. At higit sa lahat, hindi malamig. Parang galing pa sa cabinet ang ingredients. Siguro kulang ang manpower nila dahil katatapos lang din ng Holy Week. Hindi na rin kami masyadong nagtagal. We just took family pictures for memoirs. Nakakatuwa si Ate Em. Laging nakakaalala. To what I've heard, ikakasal na rin ata siya. Parang kasal na nga ata sa Civil eh.
She'll be with her parents para raw magpasalamin sa SM Aura. Mabuti na lang talaga praktikal at matalino si Ate Em. Si Joel kasi, wala sa plano ang pag-aasawa, nakabuntis na lang bigla. Parang si Mitos din. Nabuntis na rin after ata pumasa sa Nursing Exam. Sa batch naming magpipinsan, ako na lang ata ang hindi pa nagpapamilya. Sabagay, kahit samin namang magkakapatid eh.
Kami naman, naisipan na ring sumunod sa SM Aura para na rin maigala kahit papaano sina Uncle Pogs, Uncle Tito at Auntie Baby. Pero hindi sumama sila Ate Ghen, dahil nga sa baby sa tummy. Naghanap muna kami ng Money Changer para may Uncle Pogs. Then, paikot-ikot lang naman kami. Nawala nga lang sila Kuya Fred kaya tinawagan ko. Bumalik daw pala silang Market-Market para makalaro ang mga kulets.
Tingnan mo nga naman, ang liit mg mundo. Marami talagang pagkakataon na nangyayari ang panaginip ko. I saw Warren and Raiza. Makakasalubong namin ni Ate Wina. Althroughout the walk kasi namin, si Ate Wina ang kakwentuhan ko. Kinekwento ko sa kanya yung Nagsasa-Capones Trip namin ni EJ. But that time, na makakasalubong ko sila Raiza at Warren, fortunately, I was calling Kuya Fred or Auntie Josette. That's why I was able to pretend that I was busy and didn't notice them. Ayoko silang batiin. Ewan. Hinayaan ko lang silang dumaan na parang hindi kakilala. Awkward lang din naman kung babatiin ko sila. The weird and funny part was when Ate Wina was telling me, "Nginitian ako nung girl. Kilala ko ba yun? O baka may dumi ako sa mukha. Tingnan mo nga! Nginitian kasi ako nung babae eh." Sige. Patay malisya ka Mapurul. Pangatawanan mo yan. I just answered her, "Wala namang dumi sa mukha mo." And did not go into details. I didn't tell her, "Ah yung girl ba? Girlfriend yun ni Warren. Remember? Yung ex ko?" to avoid questions. She knew Warren very well. Even with Ate Wina, I pretended that I was busy. Para makaiwas, nag switch kami ng kakwentuhan. Ate Wina went to Uncle Pogs to probably ask some questions. Ako naman, si Timmy naman ang kapalit na kakwentuhan. I just told her the same thing I told Ate Wina earlier about my recent trip EJ.
We went to Sky Garden. Tumambay ng konti since mahangin. Napag-usapan ang agawang lupa ng Makati/Taguig at kung bakit ayaw ni Ate Wina kay Binay. Usaping pulitiko. Nakakatawa na lang. Umambon pero hindi naman umulan. Pumunta rin kami sa Samsung Hall. Hindi kami nakapag elevator hanggang doon kaya sinabi ko sa kanila ang daan na parang secret passage. Nabanggit ko na yun sa kanila pero dahil hindi ako sigurado at ayokong masisi, hindi ko pinagpilitan. Pero dahil wala ng mas magandang choice, pinush na rin naman ang secret passage. Buti na lang at hindi naman ako napahiya. Dumeretso kami sa San Pedro Calungsod Church. Nagdasal lang ng kaunti at bumalik din sa Sky Garden.
Wala na rin naman kaming mga bibilhin kaya bumalik na rin kaming lahat papunta sa Market-Market. Naiwan na pamilya ni Uncle Manuel sa SM Aura. Nakasalubong namin sina Sophie, DK at Kuya Godi (Sinundo pala ni Kuya Godi ang mga bata kaya bigla na lang nawala.) Pinuntahan naman namin sila Kuya Fred at mga kulets.
We decided na umuwi na rin para makapagpahinga. At dahil hindi ako nakatulog kaninang umaga, mabilis lang akong nakatulog pagkauwi namin ng bahay~
