Tito Joel

During my childhood, there were a few of my mom's brothers and sisters who have had the chance to take care of me and my siblings. One of the most remembered is my Tito Joel... one of the kindest but definitely among the strictest, too.

It has been over eleven years since the last time I saw my Tito Joel. Yet I have never failed to ask my mom of his whereabouts. Unfortunately, she had lost contact of him. Thankfully, there's Facebook! I got to reconnect with my cousin Guerlain, and from her, Mama was able to get hold of Tito Joel's contact number.

When I learned that Mama was able to talk to Tito Joel again, I called him up myself. And the following morning, I woke up hearing my Tito Joel's voice, with his usual laughter.

It is nice to see him again. He might have been strict disciplining us, but I could say that a part of him stays with me until now. I'm sure my brothers would say the same thing as well. :)

trying to be back

I have just checked my blog dashboard and was surprised to see one comment to be moderated despite the fact that I haven’t been blogging for more than a month now.

Thanks to that comment because I am writing again. But what really prompted me to make a new post is the number of updates that I have been missing reading all these weeks from the very few blogs I am following.

I need to allot time to catch up on my reading and know what’s going on with my blogger-friends. I pray that you are all well whatever circumstances you may be in now.

As for me, I have been good, though there had been a few migraine attacks in the last weeks, and we had been slightly affected by typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana). I have been busy sorting files in my office desktop to ensure smooth turnover of workload until December of this year. Husband and I have also been preparing the things we need to bring when we leave in February next year. And in doing all these, I have a cycle of mixed emotions of excitement, sadness, happiness, uncertainty, and then excitement again, and the cycle just continues.

We are thankful that our families and friends are very supportive of our endeavors. And we pray that God would bless them even more.

How about you? How have you been?
