April 1, 2009
At 4:30, I was already wide awake. And at 5:00, Mama and I left the house. It was 6:30 when we arrived at East Avenue Medical Center. We were so early, hence we just waited for so long to be called. It was 10:00 when Mama was first called. But most of the time was waiting.
At 2:00, we left the Eye Center. My number was asked so that we will be notified with the follow-up. There is no good news, except for the tentative schedule of Mama's cornea transplant after Holy Week.
It was past 3:30 when we got home. I was exhausted and sleepy. Thus, I took a nap. And when I got up, I notified Mj and Auntie Vangie. The latter replied late.
Padi Glenn Texted me at past 7:00. He regarded me; thus, I told him my financial problem. Then, he stated that he started training in the rural bank. He also promised to lend me money for my incremental budget in Legazpi.
When the couple arrived, Jano uttered the news. Ate Ginalyn wanted me to work in Eastland, as well. My brother says, "Wag ka na mag-teacher." I did not say "no" or "yes." But I was glad for that opportunity.

April 2, 2009
After breakfast, I did some dusting, watering the plants, and sweeping.
At 9:00, I texted Leo and Ate Che. I asked them if they could lend me money. Both did not reply immediately. And Ate Che's reply arrived at 4:00. She said that if Ate Salve would pay her, I would be given by her.
Mj was so 'makulit.' She texted me from time to time. She was implying for my visit. I hated it. I did not reply with some of her messages.
At 2:00, I watched a movie on DVD. I just took a nap for a half hour before I finished it.
I have learned from Mj that her brother had arrived from Bulan, and Ilek and Nicole were with him. I did not commit to visiting them because it would be hard for us to be altogether in a very small house.
April 3, 2009
After treating Mama with breakfast, I lie down again. I tried to sleep, but I failed because Mama and Flor were so noisy.
I prepared my paraphernalia after breakfast. Then, I read my reviewer. I think I was ready for the exams.
At 4:30, I left Bautista.
In my in-law's house, they were watching Nicole's video, where she's giving a speech. I felt envious a bit, but I know Hanna and Zildjian would be academic achievers, like Nicole.
April 4, 2009
At 6:00, I was awakened by the alarm clock's tone. Mj and I got up immediately. She treated me to breakfast. She also packed fried fish and longganisa for my lunch. Good thing, there were leftovers. She did not want me to starve.
At past 6:30, I left Rancho. At past 8:00, I purchased a ticket to Daraga. I saw Pablo on the bus, where I rode in.
The trip was so slow due to the impediments, such as road construction, many vehicles, and so on. I was worried so much that Padi Glenn would wait for so long for my arrival. In fact, he talked to Ate Salve and asked if we could share a house with her, Tina, and Fortin. Ate Salve permitted us.
At 11:00, I was already in Legazpi. They were disturbed by my late arrival. Yet it seemed okay.
I asked God to gave me a tight sleep for tomorrow's exams. I also wished for wisdom and sound mind.
April 5, 2009
At 4:00, we were already awake. We had a hard breakfast. We were done at past 5:00.
Before we left the transient house, Padi Glenn led a prayer. He asked God to give us wisdom and make us pass the licensure examination.
I was very cool at that time. I was very confident that I could make it because I knew it's God's will. However, when we got to our school assignment, I shivered. It must not linger on me; thus, I tried to be calm.
At 6:30, we were filling out PRC's paper. And at 8:00, the examination began. I found General Education hard. But Prof Ed was harder. The questions were situational. They were very far from the questions in my reviewer. They were all confusing. I just took extra care in choosing answers. But almost of my answers were products of so-called educated guess.
Padi Glenn, Tina, and I dined in Jollibee near Divine Word College. I paid for Padi Glenn's food because he also did some of my needs, such as food, coffee, and Lipovitan. He did it while I was on the trip.
At 2;30, Field of Specialization (Business Technology) examinations started. I found it semi-hard. It was due to the presence of computer-related questions, especially those beyond my knowledge. But all in all, I was confident and satisfied in those exams.
I did it early. I just re-read it while waiting for Padi Glenn. I changed some of my answers. I also shaded evenly with my answers.
At 5:00, we were already home. We talked and laughed about what happened during examinations. We all agreed that the LET was very difficult. We doubted ourselves.
At 6:35. We went to Gaisano Mall. We just window-shopped, except Ate Salve. I wanted to but brief, but I was penniless. Instead, I only looked at the prices of different brands.
At 11:00, it was when the lights were turned off. We all fell asleep. Good thing, the owner of the house, I Mean, the dwellers, sleep over to another house. We have privacy.
April 6, 2009
At 6:00, we all got up. And at past 7:00, we left the house to catch the early Queen's Express' trip to Bulan. We were lucky to see immediately the bus at the terminal.
At 8:15, the bus drove forward. Ate Salve shopped first.
Auntie Vangie texted me. It was her reply to my quote I sent her earlier. She asked me my whereabout and about the exams yesterday. I told her that I would be in Bulan first, due to financial shortage. Then I did not keep the truth about the hardship I met in the examination. Yet she was still hopeful and wishful for my success.
It was 11;30 am when I got home. I was starving.
Papay Benson asked about my exams, as well as Aileen and Kuya Jape. But only the former, who was very excited to know the result, asked me if I could pass. He also regarded the garments factory of Espinosa Family and its status, and Tito Sam and Tito Zaldo. But he forgot to regard Mama. It hurts me. She was neglected or forgotten.
After dishwashing, I went upstairs to rest. I took a nap before I took a bath. I just text-conversed with Sharon ang my cousin—Klyn, who also took LET yesterday.
At past 4:00, I was using Aileen's computer. I also watched TV. It was 7:00.
In the dining table, I conversed with Mama Leling. She asked about Mama's status and my recent exams. I never failed from my expectations.
After dishwashing, I spent a few hours from TV-viewing. And at past 8:00, I went upstairs to start catching sleep. However, after a few minutes, Ate Salve texted me. She said that Ate Che was waiting for us tonight for her blowout. It was confirmed by Ate Che herself. Thus, I immediately changed clothes, texted Padi Glenn and left. I however gave respect to Mama Leling.
Padi Glenn replied. He could not join us; I still went on. I knew Ate Salve would be there.
When I got to Ate Che's new house, I mean, for lease house, I congratulated her Grade Six son. Then I met her husband. Minutes later, Ate Salve and her husband arrived.
We dined a healthy 'handa' there. There was wine on the side. It was my first time tasting red wine, which I found bitter. I thought it was sweet and grapey taste.
I joined the four men in drinking Jim Beam, a black label brandy, after taking a cup of wine. However I was out-of-place, and I almost threw up when I tasted the imported liquor. Thus, after 30 minutes of being with them in silence, I left them.
It was not a remarkable night for me. I never felt welcome. But the host and hostess were nice. I just did not know how to belong to myself.
I saw Kuya Bambi in a group of drinkers. I joined them when I confirmed that no one was awake to open the door for me. I did not drink, just listened to them and their conversations.
It was past 12:00 midnight when we went home.
April 7, 2009
Is wept at bit at the 'buladan,' but later on, Aileen implied that I must leave it to the hired sun-driers of 'palay.' I instead helped with other ways.
At 10:00, I cooked. While doing so, I was texting.
After dishwashing, I have learned from Epr that he has been in Sucat recently and he would be back on April 15. I asked why he did not notify me. He did not response about it. I knew he was aloof.
I took a nap after taking a bath. Later I pursued reading my journal dated February 28 to March 30. I also reminisced about the past.
At 5:00, I did marketing. I also did the cooking. It was 6:30 when I finished.
Before I supped, I saved the photos and videos in the digicam of Ate Ningning to Aileen's PC.
At 9:00, I was upstairs. I slept early.
April 8, 2009
At past 6:00, I greeted Daba a 'Happy Birthday!' I expected an invitation from her. However, she told me that she's in Pampanga at that moment. It was okay! There is next time.
I did laundry at 7:00. I finished it at past 8:00.
At 9:00, I went to Papay Benson's 'kamalig' and stayed there until 11:00. I just procrastinated, but I washed the dishes when I got back home.
At 12:30, I was ordered by Ate Ningning to canvass for the freezer's prices. I accomplished it immediately. Thus, I have started cooking biko.' It was 2:30 when I finished.
Minutes later, I borrowed Ate Ningning digicam and did some 'saving' and picture-taking. I also used PC until 5 pm.
Next is watering my bonsai tree and Aileen's plants and helping Ate Ningning cleansing the freezer. I then washed her window grills.
I rested early. It was after I ate dinner.
April 9, 2009
I helped with doing household chores after I had coffee. Then I prepared my stuff. I packed rice and other 'pasalubong.'
Before 9:00, I have done marketing. Before I cooked, I watered the plants that Aileen and I would leave for two weeks.
At 2:00, we left for the bus terminal. I was very disappointed because Papay Benson gave me only P200. But I thanked God instead for I could go back to Antipolo.
At past 3:00, the bus we rode in Moved forward. Ia sked God to guide our way.
Being with Aileen and her two kids was a blessing. I could eat well, unlike when I was all alone.
Our trip was very well. The traffic was favorable.
April 10, 2009
It was past 4:00 am when the Goldline bus arrived in Pasay. Kuya Japi was already there to fetch Aileen. Later he took me to Cubao, where I rode jeepney to Masinag. He gave me P100. He thanked me, as well.
At 6:00, I reached my in-law's house. I have gotten so much 'pasalubong.' So, I was not ashamed to knock on the door.
I slept until nine o' clock and took a nap again after lunch.
At past 7:00, a woman named Let called me. She' Ronas cousin. She's in need of a housemaid. I asked for the qualifications and other important things. I was forced to buy load so I could ask for Ate Salve's recommendation.
After texting Ate Salve, I texted Bernadette and Padi Glenn. They texted me earlier.
I have learned from Padi Glenn that he's going to stay in San Jacinto, Masbate for good on Monday. It is due to the job he accepted in a rural bank. For that, I asked him if I could have the teaching job he was supposed to do if he did not pass in the rural bank. He gave me his brother's numbers.
I texted Sir Randy immediately. His reply was immediate, as well. I have learned that the starting salary is only P3,000. Though the salary is quite disappointing, I still was interested.
After a few exchanges of text messages, Sir Randy promised me help and notice as soon as possible, as he talks to the owner of the school.
Ate Salve promised me, as well, to help me find sa housemaid. I thanked her beforehand.
April 11, 2009
I thought of going to Bautista early, but Mj stopped me. So, I postponed it. Besides, it was very hot outside. It is better if I stay.
Espinosa's residence was full-packed at past 12 noon. Immaculate family was there, too. Though, I still took a nap.
Later I watched my kids on their tantrums.
At 5:00, Mj's effort of postponing my departure failed. Hanna and I left their house. I brought Hanna with me because I have learned from Mj that my in-laws would be in Boso-Boso tomorrow. Zildjian wanted to come with us. He cried and clung to me. Thus, Mj came with us until we got a tricycle ride.
At 5;45, we were already in Bautista. Gie and Courtney were not there. Jano was busy preparing for jamming with Chriz, Tonton, and others in Auntie Belen's unfinished house. He gave me permission to watch DVD. So, I did it at 6:30.
I watched 'High School Musical 3' and 'Hot Rod' consecutively. I also watched 'Juno.'
April 12, 2009
I waited for Mj and my in-laws to arrive. She said they were going to Boso-Boso today, but they did not come.
After lunch, Jano and his visitors—Chriz and Tonton left. We had privacy. We could take a rest and do whatever we want freely.
At 4:00, I swept at the yards. Hanna helped me.
I pitied Hanna because we do not have merienda. I could not even buy her biscuit. She was also asking for milk, but I could not treat her. Our 'baon; is good only for two 'timpla.'
Mama needs milk, as well. The P500 that I borrowed from her was only P200 as of that day, I used up the P300. I did not know how to pay it back.
April 13, 20009
At 7:00, I got up to feed Mama. Later I started doing the laundry. It was before Hanna woke up. At 10:30, I was done it. But there was a hindrance. Hanna must eat breakfast. I spoon-fed her first.
Right after hanging the clothes that I washed, I started cooking. I also watered the plants.
At 4:00, I cleaned the refrigerator, as requested by Jano. I made sure that it was well done. Jano is a meticulous person. He might not like it.
He did not compliment my work when he arrived. Instead, he complained why I did not sauté the sardines in either papaya or camote tops. I kept my silence. But I was very irritated. He did not know that there's no vegetables available.
April 14, 2009
After feeding Mama, I swept in the yard. I was then annoyed by Flor Rhina because she delayed the dishwashing. I just kept my silence.
Then I watered the plants and did some cleaning in the kitchen. Later I went downhill to look for some veggies. I found nothing. I also decided that some other day I would clean under the cashew trees so that I could harvest more.
I cooked early because we only had bread for breakfast. At 11:00, we had our lunch.
Hanna asked for milk again. She also wanted to go home. She says, "Uwi mo na ako kay Mama." I pitied her. So, at 4:00, I gave her boiled monggo. I just put sugar on it. She liked it.
Flor Rhina irked me at past 7:00. It was due to her irresponsibility. I could not hold my temper anymore. Thus, I spoke it out. She was so annoying.
April 15, 2009
I slept back when I got up at 6:00 because I had a sleepless night. However, I have a dream that stayed on my mind. It was about a baby with an unusual face. I knew God did not give us another child.
At past 7:00, I did kitchen work. Later I cooked rice and paksiw na bangus for Mama-and-Flor's lunch.
At 10:00, Hanna and I left Bautista. I would leave Hanna to Mj before I go to East Avenue Medical Center. I just had lunch at my in-law's house.
At past 1:00, I was already at the eye center. And at 2:00, I was given requests for Mama's x-ray, ECG, and lab tests.
On the way to Anonas, I notified Auntie Vangie about the repeat of the tests of Mama. She did not disagree with the idea. She just condemned Jano who did not give even food allowance when Mama and I left the house. I just told her the truth. However, I defended Jano at the end, telling Auntie Vangie the pregnancy of Gie. I implied that it was the reason why Jano did not extend any amount for Mama.
"Sus! Kaya nmn pla... O cge gwn n ung dpat gwin," she says. Then she told me to see her tomorrow at their house.
Before I took a ride to Antipolo, I went to a place in Anona where bonsai trees are so wonderful and numerous. I envied them and craved to have a few of them.
I decided to stay at my in-law's house so that I could save money. Instead of going home to Bautista I preferred to sleep over at Espinosa's residence.
I texted Jano about it. He said, "Okay!" and "Txt u c Auntie." I did not respond to that. I already did.
My head was in terrible pain. It was gone later after I had hot coffee.
Mj confirmed that she has menstrual period today. It means the dream that I had last night was the opposite of reality. I thanked God.
April 16, 2009
Before 6:00, I was already wide-awake. I was still sleepy, but I must leave early so that I could catch Auntie Vangie.
At 6:30, I left Antipolo City. It was 8:00 when I got to Auntie Vangie's house. I waited for a few minutes to her, I just talked to their maids whole anticipating.
It was 8;30 when she and I conversed while having breakfast. Reggie was there, too. We talked about Mama, Jano, and other matters.
At past 9:00, I left their house with P2,500 and groceries for Mama and my kids.
I bought Alaska filled milk worth P250,50 for my kids and vitamins for Mama before I took a ride to Antipolo. I then dropped by at my in-law's house at 11:00 to give the milk, P50 to Mj. Hanna was very happy with the Stik-O that Auntie Vangie gave them. She did not cry when I left. She waved goodbye happily instead.
Mama was eating her lunch when I got home. I gladly related to her my 'lakad.' She was surprised to know that I have been to Tandang Sora. And since Flor Rhina was present, I have not said everything that I wanted to say. It was 5:00 when we talked deeply. We had a nice talk. We also had a connivance for something helpful for every one of us.
April 17, 2009
I had a sleepless night again. I did not know why. I just could not sleep back after I got up to pee. Hot weather and pests (mosquitoes and dog's lice) contributed, as well to this. However, I still managed to get up after Jano left. It was 6:00.
Mama and I left for St. Camillus at 6:30, We were too early. We just waited there for so long.
While waiting, I bought load and texted Taiwan. I asked for financial help. He did not reply.
At past 9:30, Mama has undergone chest X-ray, ECG, and other laboratory tests. We were determined to keep it secret to Jano until Taiwan gives.
Jano did not speak about Mama's needs to be tested. He has been laidback since Auntie Vangie was financing her expenses.
April 18, 2009
After treating Mama breakfast, I did gardenworks. Auntie Lida came over after a while. She was entertained by Mama.
At past 8:00, I went to Veterans and bought groceries and purchased LPG. When I got home, I watched TV. Saturday TV programs were so nice. They made me deep-seated.
I wanted to start cleaning at the 'kasuyan,' but I wanted to do it when Flor Rhina leaves. She did at past 4:30.
At 5:00, I packed and organized Flor's clothes and stuff. It did not annoy me. It instead gladdened me that she has decided to be employed. She would be responsible in life.
Jano did not get home.
I asked God of Mama's total healing.
April 19, 2009
At 6:30, Jano arrived. My sleep was disturbed. I tried to sleep back after Mama and I had breakfast, but I could not sleep. Thus, I washed the dishes instead. And later I went downhill. I cleaned at the 'kasuyan.'
At 10:30, I was preparing our lunch. Later, Klyn, my cute cousin, texted me. After exchanges of regards, I asked her if she could help me find a teaching job at the school where she teaches. It so happened that she was told to look for applicants. I was interested so I asked her a few questions until I ran out of load. I have asked at least the salary. She says, "P5,000, starting" and 'With free boarding house."
I told this news to Mj. I asked her if Tita Lo has printer. If there is, I would be there today. But they do not have.
After lunch, I made a rough draft of my resume, Then, I took a nap at 2:00. I could not sleep well due to Jano. He was awake. He was making noises.
He left at past 4:00. He gave me P100 for water.
At 6:30, I bought load. I later text Klyn. We agreed that she would talk to the school owner first. Thus, I do not have to leave tomorrow.
April 20, 2009
I greeted Padi Glenn minutes after I got up. It's his 28th birthday today. He thanked me.
After breakfast, I started the laundry. It was 'tambak.' Flor Rhina's and Jano's dirty clothes added to it. But it was okay. I was doing it with gladness.
At past 9:30, I did marketing. I was then amid my laundry activities. And at past 10:00, I was done washing. Without resting, I cooked lunch.
At 2:00, I took a nap. But before that I conversed first with Epr via text. He said he was in Sucat to date. He regarded me and I have learned that he was going to look for a job here in the metro. I then wished for our luck.
At 5:30, I was sweeping in the yard. Mama tried to stop me. She said that I need a rest.
Mj texted me this afternoon. In her second text, she says, "Nga pala, pg free k n sau muna c Hnna, hrap pakainin at pa2lugin e. Gs2 puro milk. Ok lng b?"
I knew it was because of Nicole's bullying and tight budget in my in-law's residence. Her reasons were secondary.
I wanted to get her, but it was yet untimely. I explained to Mj that Hanna would not have an attendant when Mama and I left. I promised her that when the cashew starts to produce ripe fruits, I will get her, even the three of them.
Jano told me at 7:00 that if I want to leave Mj can stay here for Mama. I did not say anything. I like it if he says, "Dito muna sina Mj."
April 21, 2009
I was awake when Jano left at six. I tried to sleep again but I failed. I got up at 7 am when Mama rose up. We took hot drink after a while.
Nine, Diyang came over. Mama and I conversed with her. I also showed her my reviewers.
She's still the same. She wanted to know everything about one person. Thus, I kept my feet on the ground.
Past 3 pm, I claimed the x-ray, ECG, and lab test results of Mama at St. Camillus Medical Center. Mama and I agreed upon another lie.
Before six-thirty, Jano was home. Mama told him that we're going to East Ave. Medical Center tomorrow for the test results. She said we borrowed P1,000 from Calove because Auntie Vangie was still in Hong Kong. The fabrication was accepted. He then said that our indebtedness was already paid, which gladdened me. At least, Mama's burden was lessened.
I turned off the tv early. It was 9 pm.
April 22, 2009
At 4:45 am, I was already wide awake. I prepared for our trip today—including our 'baon.' And at past 6 am, Mama and I left home. Jano left minutes before us.
Past 8, we're already at East Avenue Medical Center. We were accommodated earlier. However the waiting was too long. There were so many processes.
At 4 pm, Mama's health was cleared. She passed the x-ray, ECG, and lab tests. I was very glad. However, when I gave the clearance to the optha department, it was interchanged with disappointment. We've learned that the estimated operation bill was P20,000. Auntie Vangie might feel the same way, too.
The optha department asked for my cell number, so that they could notify me for the schedule of operation. It was another disappointment. I thought they could schedule it that day.
Past six, when we got home. I was exhausted, yet I had to do household chores, especially cooking.
Randy texted me. He just regarded me. He has no good news. Yet it was not worth anticipating. I would rather wait for my cousin's (Klyn) news.
April 23, 2009
After treating Mama with milk and bread, I slept again. It was when I got up. It could have been longer if Mama did not wake me up. I was still sleepy when I did some household chores.
So at 2 pm, I took a nap. I still wanted to sleep, but I could not. I had to do some productive stuff.
While having merienda, I started cleaning the plate racks.
Quarter to seven, Dr. Gay-ya of ED/Cornea Department of East Avenue Medical Center texted me. She scheduled Mama tomorrow for the finalization of her cornea transplant.
When Jano arrived at 9 pm, I told him about our 'lakad' tomorrow. He asked, before I asked, if we have money. He gave us budget.
April 24, 2009
I got up before six and prepared for leaving. I waited for Mama to get up. She has sleepless night last night, so I let her sleep again.
At EAMC, we waited until 10:30. The opthalmologists meet and had a conference. It was past eleven when Mama was accommodated. We were oriented of estimated bill and possible follow-up checkups after the operation. Mama and I promised that we would comply with these.
After our lunch, we were told to come back on Monday. But before that, we were given a tentative schedule of operation, which is on April 29.
I texted Auntie Vangie about the P20K budget. She said that she could only give us P10K because it's only the amount left from P25K. The P15K was used since December. She also demanded Jano's help.
When I texted Taiwan, he replied "Wla p kmi pera. Mtagal p shod namin."
I knew the amount would be provided soon. Though Auntie Vangie said she only could offer P10k. I knew she could provide the whole amount. But I still have to tell it to Jano. He has to contribute anyhow.
When he arrived, he asked about our 'lakad' abruptly. I told him the need of P10,000 to fil the lacking of P10,000 of Auntie Vangie. He wanted me to solicit from Mama's siblings, which I disagreed completely, by not minding him.
April 25, 2009
Six-thirty when I got up. Later I cleansed Mama's left eye, as what Dr. Gay-ya instructed me to do. Then I started the laundry. Jano's dirty clothes were greater than the last time. But it was okay for I would use the washing machine today.
At 10 am, I was done washing clothes. I later faced the kitchen. I did dishwashing and cooking lunch.
Jano and Gie arrived at 8 pm. I knew she was here to do laundry tomorrow. But I already did! They must reward me.
April 26, 2009
After breakfast and after treating Mama her breakfast, I swept outside and did some weeding and gardening.
I was not yet done when my mag-iina was dropped by my in-laws, who were going to Boso-Boso. Their surprise arrival gladdened me. I missed my kids so much. They sure missed me, too.
Before I went to Veterans to do marketing, Auntie Vangie texted me. She asked me what Jano and I have talked about. I could reply it after I consulted Jano, who said he has no money yet and promises to shoulder the expenses of maintenance. Auntie got mad. Instead she suggested to try asking Lola Alice for financial help, which was Jano's plan.
Auntie Vangie told me to go to Sauyo tomorrow. I agreed and opened up my plan of leaving Mama there until Wednesday morning, since Mama must not be tired in commuting. Her next reply was an invitation. She told me to bring Mama at their house after the checkup tomorrow. It was favorable to Mama and me.
I was about to text Auntie Belen after that. However the cp number was saved on Jano's phone, which was blocked. It was saved on his phone, not on my sim. I only got Auntie Belen's landline number.
Since I have saved {500 from the P2,500 given by Auntie Vangie, I gave P100 to Mj. I was saving it for any unplanned or surprise expenses, like job application.
Two-thirty, my mag-iina as fetched by my in-laws. They completed my day! I enjoyed the short time with them.
I took a nap at past 3 pm. I just could not sleep tightly because Jano and his friends were practicing their musical instruments at Auntie Belen's unfinished house.
I was forced to sleep early because the electric service was cut at past 9 pm. However at 12 mn, when it was resumed, I failed to fall asleep or to sleep again.
April 27, 2009
I was still very sleepy when Jano tapped my shoulder. He asked something. It was 6 am. I prepared for leaving. I also helped Mama in her preparation. She was very slow that I have done kitchen works even before she got dressed.
At 7:30, we left home. Nine, we were already at the Eye Center. We have to wait too long because the doctors were in the conference room.
Twelve-thirty, the checkup was done. Mama and I were disappointed that Dr. Nepomuceno moved the schedule of Mama's operation to May 5. Thus I notified Auntie Vangie about it.
Mama decided to go to Sauyo after I texted Auntie Vangie and at 2 pm we were already there. We were accommodated by Lola Alice and Tita Merly.
At 5:30 pm, Mj texted me. She says, "Ei, msta? S haus n kyo? Pwd b jn muna c Hnna? Lgi lng kc nssaktan d2. Nhhirapan nq. Kht ngaun wik lng n2."
Immediately, I told her that I will fetch our daughter tomorrow even though Mama's decision to stay with Lola Alice was not yet final.
It was past 7:30 when I told Mama the text of Mary Jane. So she finalized her decision, since Lola Alice wanted her to stay. She pitied Hanna, too.
I texted Jano to leave the key in a certain spot because I have told him earlier that we were going home tomorrow. He did not reply.
April 28, 2009
Past six, after having hot coffee and hot pandesal, I left Sauyo. Lola Alice gave me P90. I knew Mama's alright and would be okay there.
At 8, I was already at my in-laws' house. Hanna was ready to leave. She was bathed and dressed. And after bailing Zildjian with cheap chocolate balls, Hanna and I left.
I bought Hanna Nido Fortified milk in 350 g box. I wanted her to gain weight within a week.
Past nine when we arrived home. I looked for the key, but it was not in a certain place that I told Jano. I wondered why. He possibly did not received my text message. He might not like my presence in this house, as well. Thus, I broke the padlock.
Hanna was starving. After I gave her milk, she says, "Gutom na ako." I gave her biscuits after. Few hours later, she told me to cook. Mj confirmed that there was a crisis in their house to date.
We took a nap at 12 noon. It was 2:30 pm when I got up to watch tv.
Four o' clock, Mj sent this to me: "Lam u pkiramdam q prang wla aq aswa. Naiinis aq. Prang d n tyo ok." I was not able to reply because I ran out of load. But if do have, I would just laugh at her. She can't understand the situation.
Diyang came in at 4:30 pm. She looked for Mama. Then she started the talk. She told me about the family feud between Antolin and Flores. I was very surprised to the fact that Kuya Rex is battling through black magic against another black magic or Latin prayers of Family Antolin. It was unbelievable for me. She also claimed that what happened to Mama was caused by Antolin, which I disagreed.
I promised her to give used clothes so that she could start working again. She left at 6:30 pm.
Jano texted me twice. He used Sun number. He asked about what happened to our lakad. He did not know that we were here.
I thought, he is not going to be home, but then at 9:30, he arrived. But it was okay. I was ready.

Seven-thirty when I got up. After Hanna and I had breakfast, I did some gardening.
When Jano woke up, I started to feel uneasiness. I did not know what to do. He gave me P100 for water. Thus I have got something to work on. I cleansed the drum. I waited for the water supply truck to arrive. However it did not arrive. I was then told to buy coconut and gabi. I looked for them, but I have not found one.
Past 12 noon, I tended Hanna to sleep. I took a nap, too, but after a while I decided to get up and look for clothes that I will give to Diyang. Before I could finish it, Hanna rose up. I fed her so that she would not join.
At 3 pm, I was done. I then watched tv.
Jano left at 4:30 pm. He told me to use my money in buying viand. He would pay me on Sunday. I felt glad that he is concerned naman pala.
At 7 pm, Taiwan gave me load. For that, I have told him about Mama. Then I texted Mj. I told her that her text message yesterday made me laugh. Then I asked her to understand me because we could not be together yet in the verge of that situation.
April 30, 2009
It was raining since last night, thus sleeping up-to-sawa was suggestive. However I had to get up early. I exercised using two bottles of 1.5 soft drinks, filled with water.
Before lunch, Hanna and I watched 'Lion King' on DVD. And when she was sleeping at past 12 noon, I played 'Train Wreck: My Life as an Idiot.' I did not finish watching it because I had to nap. It was 3 pm when I got up.
Mj texted me, saying "Ok lng b kung syo muna c Hnna? Khit pgktpos ng operation Mama u. Sunduin u n lng ulit d2." I committed after I have learned that Hanna is often hurt by either Nicole or Zildjian whenever she was there. I then told her the advantage of Hanna's stay, which is the time for sleep. Hanna could sleep and every afternoon. It might help her gain weight.
Diyang came in at 5:30. I immediately gave her the used clothes. She chose on them, then we talked. She was thankful for my deed. She told me, as well, about her Indian national chat mate. On the course of our conversation, I have infused some of my values, and I have given her words of wisdom, encouragement, and advice. One of the advices I gave her was about the importance of every centavo that she would earn.
Past 7 pm, when she left. It was also the time I cooked viand for dinner.
At 8:30, Mj texted me. She says, "Tma ba n mainis aq, mgtampo dhil gn2 tyo? Plgi n lng gn2... Pkrmdm q npk'useless q. Sori kung nssbi q 2."
I was irritated by it, thus I replied. "Naku! Maling-mali k! Wla k s timing! M2log k n lng."
Then she responded, "Prang gs2 q n mg'gve up. Cge gudnyt."
I did not reply anymore.
I did not understand her. Why she was acting weird this very moment? If she's tired of being with her parents, so I am. I'm tired of this state. But as of now, I can't do nothing, but to take care of Mama. She must be thankful that I have had time to take care of our daughter.
Past 9:30, Jano and his mag-iina arrived. I knew that they us I got ready would come home. The house was organized by me beforehand.
