May dalawang peste sa Dubai: Surot at Ipis!

Ipis!!! 'Yun ang marami kami! As in! Buti na lang hindi sila Flying Ipis. Maliliit lang sila pero sobrang dami naman. Syempre hindi ko hahayaang maghari sa bahay ko ang aking mga mortal enemies. Kaya ang sagot sa problema... Insect repellant!

Binili ko ang Raid, dahil walang odourless na Baygon. Ang kinalabasan? Imbis na mapalayas ang peste... AKO ANG NAPESTE!
Lenchak na 'yan, hinilo lang ang mga bespren kong ipis. Parang naghappy-happy lang sila sa bar. May hangover lang kinabukasan tapos balik na ulit sa kanilang mga huwisyo.

Palpak ang balak na pangri-Raid! Siguro dahil crawling at hindi flying ipis ang pinapatay ko kaya di sya epektib? Sa sunod try ko humanap ng Crawling Insect Killer. Acheche!

When I've learned this morning that Mother's day will fall on the 8th of May this year I got really home sick because it is the same day that my Dad will celebrate his 60th birthday. So I went to emirates on-line and booked a flight! My flight will be on the 5th of May and coming back on the 14th of May.


But I know that this is only a wishful thinking. The fare is too expensive! Aed2,995 for one-week vacation?! Converted to Philippine peso it will amount to Php36,000! Not to mention that I would still need a pocket money. We just can't afford it. Now that my brother is still jobless and we have lots of loans back home that we need to settle, it is not practical.

So on that day we will just have to settle with Skype. But once on a while I still visit the airlines site to look for a cheaper rate. If only I could find money on the streets or maybe a part time job to pay for my fare... Wishful thinking...

I was shocked when my friend told me that she stopped praying and going to mass when her mother died. Five years ago, I'm in the same situaton as she.

It was the first time we went out for a drink. We were talking about life and all the shit over a bucket of sanmig lights and crispy pata. Tina, Mac and Me. They were telling me how they hang on to their faith because of their mothers. While I told them how angry I am with God for taking away my Lola. And now, the tables had been turned. I'm the believer and she's the non-believer.
 
Honestly, I really don't know what to tell her. How can I encourage her to believe again? I understand that a lot of things happened in our lives that either make us see or blind us form our faith. And losing someone we really love is really painful and hard to accept. I know what Tina is feeling right now. I asked the same question to God... "Why did he take away the person that I love the most?" Now, I know the answer. Just like what I told Tina. "She's tired. Let her rest."

I still wish that she is still with us. But it would be selfish of me not to let her rest just because I'm not yet ready to let her go. I know it will take time before Tina can let go of the hurt. If only I'm just near and can ask her to go out for a drink. The only thing I can do right now is to pray for her. To pray that her wish to speak to her mom, even in dreams, will come true. And one day she will believe again...
