" There is no place like Home".
Photo was taken while I was riding on a Ferry boat going home.
Though this vacation of mine was not in plan and broke my wallet I could not help but to feel the excitement the moment the plane took off. Just seeing the green scenery as the plane passed over the provinces and the crystal blue sea water, hay; I could feel that I was almost home.
What more when I am already in the middle of our sea travel? As I watched the waves caused by the ferry while listening to my toddler nephew screaming as he couldn't contain his excitement seeing the ships in actual.
The journey was not that long as there is no traffic as well as the road is now wide that could even accommodate two vehicles in one lane at the same time. I felt happy seeing my hometown's progress.
And these mahogany's that are standing too proud? Just a hundred meters away from our house.
I was thinking perhaps I could sell some of this if I run out of budget, what do you think? Mahogany is a good lumber for furniture.
We arrived home at lunch time so I opted to buy some "lechon manok" to save time and for us to eat . Thus at dinner, the Father and my brother in law cook the "Tinola with native chickens". Sorry, I forgot to take some photos as I was so excited to eat. Though I had a feeling they just decided to cook some as my older sister is with me. They even kept on asking her what she wanted. She was the family's "apple of the eye", everyone's favorite. Am I jealous? Before I was to be honest, who wouldn't? She is always the BEST! The prettiest, most intelligent, all the positive adjectives. Me? The opposite . I am even one time my Father slapped me just because I was cutting the milkfish in the wrong way. I was only twelve years old back then. Yet when my sister got pregnant during her college days, Father only reprimanded her. Not that I wanted her to be slapped too. It is just, ahhh nevermind!
There was a moment in my teenage life that I came to think I am just an adopted , lol. That was impossible though as I look exactly like my Mother.
Now? Naa, I had overcome that feeling. Not that I don't care, it is just that life is so unpredictable. After all she has been through in her life, I am glad that she could feel the special treatment from the family. Besides, my sister was always good to me ever since. She had a close to saint attitude. Oh, sorry for the negativities. Just some nostalgia happened. There are some instances, things, situations that bring back those memories of the past.
Just like the other day, I was still sleeping when I heard my mother ranting and nagging. To whom? Yours truly, lol. She is reprimanding me that I wasn't able to wash dishes in the right way. She found some dried soap in one spoon. I was like? Was she serious? I told her that she is so loud, I am still sleeping. YET she answered that I should wake up as I was sleeping too long. When I checked my phone it's only six in the morning. AIGOO!
Mother will always be a mother. No matter how old you are, you may be working or having good high position at work, STILL to you MOM you are still her offspring. You will still washed dishes at home. Been doing that anyway.
Oh, I am not ranting, just giving you guys some realizations.
OH DIBA? There is no place like home. Life is so different eh.
Disclaimer: I am not mad, I find it funny actually. Like I am used of giving instructions at work, yet at home " Utusan pa din ako ng Nanay ko" (it was Mom giving me instructions). Mother is very organized person and always had that "PROPER WAY" of doing things that is why I still got some "sermons" when she is not satisfied with my work.
