Babsy

Let the light pierce through the darkness Close all old accounts, turn a new leaf Re-learn that old lesson of friendship Kill nor be killed, settle for lessening Amidst us of this fossilized hatred

Babsy

is my nickname

Perhaps that time has not come yet when our, Gods would listen to the beats in our hearts, peace and happiness spread their glow, perhaps we would have to force Mother Time?.

For the Souls – Better Late Than Never

Today, I was able to convince my Mom to pay visit and light a candle to a family on my father side. They live in another Island – Guimaras and therefore we need to ride a boat to be able to get to our destination.

My mom and I dropped my daughter Hannah to school, then we went to Atrium to buy a candle and food to eat. We then went to Parola in where the boats to Guimaras are available. We ate our breakfast in the car then went ahead on our travel. We arrived at Guimaras and Van approached us stating for Php 200 we are good to go. My Mom and I hopped in because we are in a hurry. We wanted to have a back and forth service using the said Van. But when my Mom asked the driver, “How much for a back and forth?” The driver took a long time to think, then answered “Php 700.” In a shock, I angrily get off the Van and I asked my Mom to do the same as well. Imagine, he would let us go to our destination for just Php 200 but going back would cost us Php 500? That just doesn’t seem fair for me. So when my Mom got off the Van, we looked for a tricycle. My Mom asked the tricycle driver, “How much for a back in forth to the cemetery?” The tricycle driver replied “Php 300.” We then got in and had our back and forth for just Php 300. Too bad the Van driver just lost a passenger because he was too greedy. He needs to work on his math!

Anyway at the cemetery, we lighted a candle for Lolo Ali who is a good guitar player, Tito Tamer who most of the people call Mommy Tamer even though he is a guy and he used to cook me fried chicken whenever I visit them before, my great grandmother who in the Philippines we call “apoy,” and to my cousin Mighty who has been such a brat but was a funny kid. May God Bless their souls and welcome all of them to heaven.

After all those things that happened in Guimaras, we were more than an hour late in fetching my daughter. I thank the teacher assistant they have for staying with her while we were on our way to fetch her.

Our day is not yet over in serving the departed ones. We went to a mall to buy a prayer card for our friend “Nong Agor” who passed away last October 31, 2008. I told my Mom that it was a good time for him to go since there would be a lot of his relatives that would fetch him to go to his final destination. We then have the prayer card delivered via LBC. I hope it gets there by tomorrow, as the LBC employee had informed us.

After all those things, we got home and I sleep together with my daughter. I slept the whole afternoon and I think since I will be back to work tomorrow, that was the last relaxation I could get for the month of November.

Here are our pictures today:

Oh and by the way, I noticed that I am getting bigger again. Some of my pants wouldn’t fit me. See:
