I wish it was the 24th!!!

Today is the first after several weekends that I can free my mind up of stuff about work. I fell asleep last night earlier than usual due to intolerable exhaustion (earlier for me is 12:30AM). But in spite of my ultimate desire to chat with my kids I knew I could not 'coz I really was so drained. Since I am used to getting a 4-hour sleep every working day, I hatefully woke up at 4am then craving for my favorite mama-cooked buttered shrimps. I suddenly wished it was the 24th already-- it is my schedule to fly home. Trying to tire myself to hopefully fix the dream I just had (hehehe, yeah I had one of my most sensible yet undesirable dreams tonight), I watched a movie which I had seen a million times in the last 6 months-- and this didn't seem to work.

Anyway, I sent my mother a text message a couple of weeks ago to ask her to prepare the food I wish to taste again during my short vacation in Manila. I wish I could still see some of "ka-tropa" from high school so we could get together like we always did in the last few years-- as well as see other people who requested me to visit them to, at the very least, show them I am still alive. Hahaha! Can't wait to go home. Can't wait to embrace and smell my daughters who have all grown up like they're not my babies anymore. Can't wait to enjoy my time with the people I truly care about. Can't wait to feel home gain.

I will try to take a long nap after writing this one-- need to prepare for a possible long night out to watch "Cirque du Soleil" with my good friend, Mich.
