Napagsarhan ba kayo ng Hollywood?.. hehe..

Gone are the days when we would share outrageous stories,
corny jokes, and funny faces...
Altogether in one place...

Gone are the days when we would discuss some serious matters...
Face-to-face...

Gone are the days when we would indulge in "food trip"...
"Giling" time!..

Gone are the days when we would scavenge for food...
Breadsticks time...

Gone are the days when I would see them struggling
with their cousins to catch money from Wawa on New Year’s eve…

Gone are the days when we would dine out
and they end up laughing at me when I fix the “kalat” on our table…
OC-OC!... They would call me…

Gone are the days when they would come to me to ask for my help
with their school stuff… paperworks… or anything for that matter…

Gone are the days when we would stay up all night
just reminiscing our “so-happy-childhood-days”…

Gone are the days when we would walk into the bathroom,
each carrying her own basket of toiletries…
Dormitory style…

Gone are the days when we were just learning household chores…
it was a trial and error experience…

Now, they do their own chores…
Now, they miss the “chichirya” from the “sari-sari” stores…
Now, they no longer use shampoo nor toothpaste sachets…
Now, they do their own nails and stuff like that…

Now, they resort to more instant and microwaveable food…
Now, they live on their own…

Everything’s different now…
Why? Because for some reasons…
They’ve gone to Uncle Sam…
And experience white Christmas…
But they found out that there’s truth in the saying,
“There’s no place like home.”...
Yet, they have to stay there…

We only communicate through phone and the internet…
Thanks to technology… It made situations like this simpler…

I know this is not easy for them…
It requires a lot of sacrifice… A lot of effort… KAYOD!!...
It just pleases me to know that they’re safe...
They’re doing well… And they’re happy…

I miss their giggles and crazy antics…
Their tantrums and “senti” episodes…
I miss the TOXIC days…
How I wish we could be altogether again…
Just like our Baguio escapades… Remember?...
Moments like that… they seem so precious now…

I miss you PINGKAY and BINING… “LIPUNGOW!!!
