Leaving home

Jul 19, 2010 04:19

On my first day of nursery school I clung to mama and wouldn't let go. What if she doesn't fetch me, I thought. I didn't want to be left in my new school all alone! When dismissal time finally came and my mom wouldn't be in my first line of sight at the gate, I would collapse and cry myself to relief, as if wailing would magically summon her.

Vicky!!! How are you? Thanks for loving my delayed entry, hahaha. And thanks for following my "leaving" trio of entries. ;) Yes, it's been only 3 weeks and I feel I've grown so much already! (Hopefully I don't regress during the coming months.) Ikaw, kumusta ang new job? What does it feel like? Write all about it, I want to know! :)

been waiting for a post since you left, and this one was definitely worth the wait. reading this made me smile...your leaving and studying and achieving and being on your own and making your family proud means so many different things on so many different levels, but perhaps at the heart of it all, your being away from home means growth, not just for you, but for everyone who loves you as well.

so excited for everything that you'll discover while you're there! can't wait to hear about them all.

p.s. you're online on ym! i'm rarely online so i hope you reply to my message soon. miss u mikey!

worth the wait? aww, thanks, chin! :) so many different things on so many different levels, indeed. growth for everyone--that's a really nice way of looking at it. sana nga! :)

may bago nang kuwento! just haven't found the time to write it all down. i can envision a buddha jones entry, as well as a jalapunyeta complement to dish out all the juicy detail. (the latter version would have to be written in filipino, hahaha.)

i was online on YM because i'm always online on YM. :) i keep my iPhone's YM on because that's how Karlo and I communicate. :) i miss you, too!

26 days to go!!! omg, so excited for you! and also so excited for all of it to be over! ;)

thanks, ficklecattle! :)

i went over your blog, too. kakaintriga ka naman. we must have seen each other at the gym--what time do you usually go? of course this assumes that i correctly guessed where you work out.

anyway, i'm glad to meet new people through LJ. i used to blog so much before and delighted in meeting new people who were also marginalized in some way.

good luck with your studies! when are you taking the bar? :)

thanks! i'm taking it this september. I haven't worked out in a month, haha. Before that, I usually go to the fort or ortigas branch. :-)

Can you get your car insurance before you've moved to the state? anonymous March 21 2011, 19:30:00 UTC

Simply how much can a provider legally require to let an insurance plan holder out of his automobile insurance?
Simply how much does your agency cost when anyone needs to end and how much pressure would you use to hold them?
What are some ideas or something we can say if our any individual has several months still left on his present automotive insurance policy? Definitely, all of us are not going to wait until his renewal comes due each time.
