I spoke to my sister who is vacationing in the Philippines. I can hear their excitement. I wished I am with them too. I burned over 250 minutes of my long distance plan and I still have 29 more days to go till the next cycle starts. Anyway, I spoke nearly 2 hours with my mom yesterday. I am happy that she is doing fine. We talked anything in the sun. We never run out of topics to discuss, we even gossiped about the neighbors and cousins who are misbehaving lately. Mom is my source of information to keep track the juiciest part of the news available in my hometown. In short, my mom is the number one promoter of the news hips.
Last night my time, they were at the appliance store to shop for a television set, there were lots of brands available but I am very certain of not buying anything made in China that are sold in the Philippines and I have my reasons that I don't want to divulge. But here in the US especially clothing sold at discount stores, everything is made in China, what else is new! Anyhow, we decided to get the ones made in Korea and it is a LED TV, my sister initially wanted to buy a bigger screen -- a plasma tv, I disagree because it does not have the best picture considering the cable service in my town which does not offer HD service and besides we don't have cable connection yet. Since I authorized my sister to use my line of credit, I told her to ask mom which one she really likes, mom replied, she cares less of the TV, all she wants is me to come home, but my other sisters said in chorus don't go home just buy the TV! Mean sisters!
Little did mom knows that we are beefing up a surprise--a surprise that everyone will be shocked! Yes, I am coming home and I'll be there for our parents golden wedding anniversary. I know keeping a secret makes my mom's heart bleeding, it will be a bittersweet reunion with my family once again.
