How can you escape all the pain within your heart and move on from the past... knowing it hurt the one person you truly loved. What happens when you learn that what you've been running from all these years, was all wrong? How can you mend what has...
Dec. 20 *Ding* "Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to NAIA. Local time is 6:55pm. For your safety and convenience, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the Captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. Please check around your seat for any personal belongings you may have brought on board with you and please use caution when opening the overhead bins, as heavy articles may have shifted around during the flight. If you require deplaning assistance, please remain in your seat until all other passengers have deplaned. One of our crew members will then be pleased to assist you. On behalf of Philippine Airlines and the entire crew, I'd like to thank you for joining us on this trip and we look forward to seeing you on board again in the near future". The FA announced.
I sat back and just waited for the plane to stop. After what felt like forever, I was able to get my passport stamped and finally made my way to the baggage claim area. "great, more waiting" I whispered.
It was around 8pm when I finally walked outside of the airport. "Holly...." someone yelled. I looked around and finally saw my mom and Russel by the gate. I waved and rushed to cross the walkway to greet my family. "anak..." my mom yelled as she greeted me with a tight hug. "Ate" Russel chimed in and gave me a big bear hug! "Russel, how are you?" I greeted. "Ok lang Ate" he replied. As he took my stuff and started to walk towards the parking lot. "Saan si Papa?" I asked, turning my attention to my mom. "Na una na s'ya sa van" my mom replied. "tara na" she added. Nodding my head, I smiled and just followed them. Finally, we made it to the van. "Pa...." I greeted happily and rushed to him and hugged him tightly. "oh how I missed you all" I added, as tears ran down my face. "Holly, anak" my father answered as we embraced each other tightly. "I missed you, baby" he said and hugged me again. Kung hindi n'yo pa alam... ako ay isang daddy's girl. Don't get me wrong... i'm very close to all my family, pero super daddy's girl ako.... besides Mau, my father is my best friend, text-mate, great listener and my shoulder to cry on when I have problems. Kahit nung nasa states pa ako, pag may problema ako... sya ang tinatawagan ko. "Tama na nga kayong dalawa dyan" my mom said, as she grinned at us. "umuwi na tayo para maka kain at maka pag pahinga na ang anak mo" she added. Dad and I looked at each other and laughed. As he handed me his handkerchief. "thank you" I took it and wiped the tears off my face.
Mang Thomas pulled into a driveway of this beautiful house. When the van stopped, I stepped out and was just in awe of the new house. Well to me it's new as I've never been here. I've seen pictures but this is the first time I will actually see it and step foot in it "wow" I whispered.

"Ang ganda ganda naman dito" I added (looking around) "Naku anak, bukas mo na tignan ang labas, sa ngayon pumasok na tayo para maka kain at makapag pahinga ka na" mom said, as she lead the way to the entrance of the house. "si Ate, parang hindi ko pinadala sayo yung pictures nang bahay natin" he joked (as he passed me, dragging my stuff with him) "kaw talaga..." I said. "iba pa rin yung personal... sa pictures noh" I added, as I followed behind him. "Holly...." Ate Mary, yelled as I walked in the door. "Ate Mary" I answered running up to greet her. "wow, ang ganda naman nang alaga ko" she said. "ikaw talaga Ate Mary, hindi ka pa rin nag babago. Kaya love na love kita eh" I happily replied and smiled. ^_^
