Hello there everyone! I am so sorry for suddenly dropping out of the radar these past few days. I didn't mean to - I swear. Well, life happened and sh** happened (sorry for that, I'm just really bummed about it.). Anyway, to cut my story short, I was sent into a forced sabbatical leave by the most cruel and wretched chicken pox. I know, you're probably wondering "how old are you kid?" trust me, I'm not sure either. So there, now that you know what happened, actually it's still happening and I'm afraid I'll suffer this forever and ever till the day I die (okay, so probably I'm starting to become too much of a drama queen and I probably should stop this mindless chatter soon.) Back to -- where was I? -- oh yeah, since I'm still suffering this wretched and vile disease let me just share a story that happened during the weekend.
Some of you may know that the Pope visited the Philippines just recently. We were watching for his arrival on the TV when I crawled my way on to my mom's lap because truth be told, the itch is enough to kill me and add to that the fever, headaches, cough, vomiting and oh - did I say about the itch? So I asked my mom to give me a back rub just to distract myself from it. Then out of nowhere my niece suddenly popped in and said "Mama, now that mama Cho's sick and she is the nurse, who will take care of her?" I know I was a bit emotionally strung during that time so I teared up a bit. Then I fully cried out when my mom kept on rubbing my back and said "Of course me, I'm her mom."
And everyday she kept that promise. She always made me sleep in her bedroom and she noticed whenever I couldn't sleep because she'd sit beside me then give me a back rub until I fall asleep. Every morning, she'd suddenly scramble to stand up whenever she feels me leaving the bed and she'd ask me if anything's wrong or should she make me a breakfast. I always feel like crying everytime and I love her more for it. And through this ordeal, I once again realized how blessed I am because I have a family to take care of me, especially during the time when I can't be strong enough to take care of myself. So to all of you kids out there, be grateful of your parents or of those people who takes good care of you. Cherish each moment you spend with them because I'm telling you, once you get to become an adult, it's one of the few things you'll start to long for. :")
**P.S. as for my usual posts, I promise to try to get back to it as soon as I can. Please don't lose hope on me. (^o^)V
