Day 5: Parents

It was still early in the morning and the sun was just also waking up when I stood up from my bed. I walked slowly out of my room while wiping my eyes with the back of my hands. I went straight to the kitchen where I heard the usual noises in the morning.

The whistling kettle signaling that the water inside is boiling. The rustle of the newspaper my daddy was reading. And the clutter of plates and utensils my mother was preparing.

They both saw me and greeted me good morning with bright smiles as I continued walking with my tiny little steps to my chair.

It was a normal morning in our household. After breakfast, my daddy grabbed her briefcase and I waved at him on the window as he went flying with his blue suit and his red cape away to the sky. He wouldn't come back until the darkness of the evening swallows all of the Earth.

For the whole day, I watch my mother do a lot of things inside the house while tending to my every need. I could swear that she was doing everything in ultra fast speed and I thought that she had so many clones at time because she was doing a million little things at the same time.

At night, I'll wait by the door until my daddy flies down from the sky. He would just sit back on the couch and I would help him take his shoes and socks off. I was so happy doing that because I felt that somehow, I was able to assist him in saving yet another day. My mother prepares a lovely dinner for the three of us and I would just feel grateful to have two superheroes as my parents. I am so proud to have them and it is my dream to someday make them both proud in my own little way. I would like to be a superhero just like my daddy and my mommy.

Hey!

4 days already went by just like that and I'm already at the 5th day of the 30-day writing challenge. What's the challenge about? Here, take a look at this for a better idea:

For this day, the challenge asks me to tell something about my parents. But I thought that I could just share a general view of parents from the eyes of a little kid. For the lucky ones, they have the luck and the chance to view their parents as real life superheroes. I know that many of us view our parents as our own heroes too growing up. It's true, one way or another.

When I was a kid, I always hear or read about essays saying things along those lines and I personally relate to them too. But instead of monsters and villains, they are fighting against the world to give us a better life.

Oh and by the way, let me share to you about what kind of day I had...

I wish that I could say that it has been a slow day, but it wasn't. I had so many things to do early in the morning and everything just piled up over the afternoon. I was stuck on my chair all day attending to users' concerns and whatnot.

I also deployed a little program that I made to several users.

I was really occupied so I took advantage of my break when I was able to breathe from work. I was just a bit jealous of my colleagues since overall, we are on a downtime in the office, the boss was away and there really wasn't much to do save to my little shenanigans.

We watched several short movies on the projector screen that we were testing.

I was also very much surprised that Jollibee came up and released a lot of short films "kwentong Jollibee", that's what the series is called, I think. I'm not really updated with happenings in social media and in mainstream media, that may be the reason why I haven't heard or seen any of the stories before. They were short films depicting stories of love, friendship, and family. Some were really great and some were just so-so. But all of them were based on true stories, well, that's what they were claiming at least.

Just like many other Filipinos, I'm a sucker for sappy stories that would really touch my heart and my soul, so I enjoyed watching the short films too. Either that or I enjoyed procrastinating away from my works.

Anyway, it was a good use of our breaks too so I wouldn't complain much about it.

Speaking of break, I think that this is a good place to break the article of and to call it a night. That's it for me and I will be looking forward to your entries.

Until we read again...

Sweet Dreams!!!
