It’s worth everything…
I used to call my parents early morning in the Philippines all the time. Recently I don’t call that much anymore. Last night I rang them at 9 pm GVA time and 3 am PH time.
Regardless of what time I call, regardless of the reason I call but whenever my parents pick-up the phone and knowing I’m on the other line I’m always greeted with such warm that is overwhelming. As if my call is the most important thing and everything stops for them. No, I’m not exaggerating and I wonder how come I don’t call often anymore.
I enjoyed more than an hour phone talk with my mom and I can’t stop laughing. My mom has this ability to make me laugh so hard and forget all about my worries in life. And main topic of our conversation was their upcoming trip to Singapore. I was originally planning it for December of course with me but now that I’m not sure if I’m having my vacation in December in PH or not, I decided to give it as a birthday gift for my dad.
At first I want to be there when they go to Singapore, I want to show them the places I always go to whenever I have trainings there. I want to boast to them how well I know the city and how well I know how to go around. And also I was a bit afraid that they will not enjoy it that much because they will be hesitant to roam around by themselves but I have to let these thoughts go, I have to let them go. I can’t be there for them this time but I’m sure that they will enjoy the place as much as I enjoyed it. I may not be able to show them the places I’ve been to but I’m happy to know they will see the places that I’ve seen. And who cares if they get lost there, it’s only a matter of getting a taxi to bring them home.
Tay advance happy bday and I hope Mama and you will enjoy the place as much as I did and I miss you guys so much…
