It’s
so amazing how time flies so fast. How the handwritten became typewritten, how
Betamax became DVD, how penpals became phonepals and eventually became
textmates, how porridge was made available in an “instant” packaging to
substitute the used-to-be Lola’s merienda during my childhood, how Daddy gave
me freedom to live on my own without hearing his usual loud voice when scolding
me, how Mommy stopped me from crying from the usual life intrigues, how my
friends who used to be Mama’s girls became Mom’s with girls, how my dreams seem
to be closer, and how my number of so-called “friends” were trimmed down into
half (of thousands…haha) but now more fulfilling since they’re more precious
and true.
I’m
amazed that one of my closest friends in college who used to collect coins from
us to buy her food for lunch easily became "the one" who’s treating
us for lunch. Time worked in wonders, because now, the used to
what-do-you-need? question of Mommy turned into “What do you want, mommy?”
question from me, then with her quick response, “I want you to save for the
100, 000 worth lot, and for our Flower Farm, ok?”
I’m
amazed on how I have a fulfilled life right now thou I don’t have a D&G
sunglasses, MacBook Pro, Ipod, worth 28, 000 dress or worth 12, 000 shoes. I’ve
fulfilled some of my parents’ dreams, i am snoozing sweetly every night, a
wonderful work (though stressful…haha), amazing friends, great family, and the
best boyfriend. What more can I ask for? This fulfillment will never be
replaced by a 8G Flash Disk… haha.
“It’s
funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything’s
different”.
One
thing will never change, Daddy’s still the greatest when he inculcated to my
nuts that “I will be the one to teach other people how to treat me and that
RESPECT will always be earned and will always be indispensable…”
Love
you, Tantin!
Ay!
Dad pala… Haha.
