Awhile ago,as Mamang and I were having our merienda of pancit canton and lobster balls,Mayet( my mother's yaya) checked the blood pressure of Daddy Cris. He was not feeling well. Mamang blurted out, "Yan pag alang asawa.Alang magbante." Then I told her," Naku Ma,pano nyan,wala rin ako asawa.Sinong magbabantay sa 'ken?" She immediately replied,"Ako!" Awwww,Mang,I know that in spite of the stroke and all,you will always be my number one supporter. You really love me to the moon and back.
Afterwards,I showed to her my niece Kadie's video playing the piano and singing Twinkle twinkle Little Star plus Jakjak's latest photos.Mamang began to cry. She told me," Munta na ka America." Genie in a bottle,where are you??
I do not want to sulk in a corner and focus on what I have not. It is not because I don't care about my life in the future nor I gave up on my dreams already. In the deepest part of my heart I keep this prayer that I may be in USA to finally see and hug my whole family.Before and after Mamang's health condition,it has been her fervent wish that I may see the skies and greens of America. Sad to say,my employment visa is moving slower than a turtle.:( That is why, I always have this weirdest plea to meet Tiger Woods so he can bring me there.
For the meantime, I switch on to Facebook and overseas calls to connect with the most-treasured people in my life. Till I see you all "live."
