mid-year, going to where?

i realized i've been in the US for 6 months last feb 24. how time flies fast. i thought i wouldn't survive 2 months without my family, but hey, half a year. i deserve a medal. =P

and i am looking forward to april. my family will be here to visit, and see places, and hopefully, help us with spring cleaning. hehe! they were even nice enough to bring an aunt, tita glenda, with them. if i survived 6 months, what's another month?

last night, the batman phone was down again. but i couldn't get jedi jot's powers to work this time, he's miles away. as in. so i told my folks to just keep trying and to follow what jot told them. hopefully it was just a glitch or something. else i would have to summon all my powers to contact another friend, mel, to fix it for us.

i understand that it's a big hassle when the batman phone is down, but we can't think of a better (and cheaper) alternative. so we just have to do with it. my mama, who's a bit panicky this morning, asked " ano ba yan, lagi ba talagang ganyan habang buhay? kasi forever na tayo overseas diba?". and the little hopeful me replied, "kung mabilis akong yayaman, uwi na ko dyan. OR kayo tumira dito." =P

but seriously, she makes sense. unless one of us gives up the life we have right now, we're forever relying on phone calls, webcams and the occasional trips. like all other decisions and crossroads in my life, it would've been easier to decide if i'm single and can afford to just throw caution to the wind. not anymore. most things are for the long term. for a future kid. for a future family. for a future life i've had a glimpse of.

whew, this is too much drama for a blog entry. i think my clubmates' sentiments about their respective futures are rubbing off on me. 2 of my friends might, as in MIGHT, be preggy, but no official word yet. our email exchanges have been pushing me to think about the future as well. to be or not to be a mom soon. if i have waited 6 months, i can wait another 6 months. or double. =)
