as days pass, the number of people in this house becomes less and less.
ate just left for a scholarship in france. she'll be back in 6 months. and maybe, when she returns, its only a matter of time before she leaves to migrate to australia...
i hate it. 'parang lahat na lang ng tao umaalis.' moving on. growing up. well, i expect to meet a new ate when she comes back. the same ate, but an ate more mature more grown up.
when i grow old and hopefully i get rich. i'm really gonna miss my ate(i'm missing mommy rin kasi she's at US now) and the problem is that i do not have the capacity to visit her whenever i want to. it would be otherwise if i had the money to do it. i can visit her anytime. i can visit yukiko on a free saturday anytime i want (in the future).
its not the material things that come with the money that i want, its the mobility that it gives you. kung yung airplane fare kapresyo lang ng pagsakay mo ng jeepney from ateneo to UP, i would not be so much interested in being rich right now.
yes, i cannot deny the material things that come with the money. but then, i guess i'm more interested in the relationships i will be able to maintain well because of the mobility that money can offer.
in the end, life is all about other people. about the your relationship with others.

tita mely cried kanina before ate left.
right now, (i think) she's trying to comfort herself by listening to mike velarde's words over the radio.
i've always wondered how she really finds the words of mike velarde. does she get strength from those words? comfort? peace?
i just hope she's better off with it.
she will be mostly alone nowadays here in the house because ate left already and we unhired the 2nd maid we have because we're practically only 5 left in this house so no need for another 'katulong.'
it worries me a lot. i (hope) want dad to hire another katulong for the sake of companionship on her part. yun lang.
she's old already, at 53(?), i want her to be happy... i only want the best for her. matigas nga lang talaga ang ulo niya on many things (like her eating habits, taking vitamins, etc etc)
