I missed my bed. I missed our cable Internet connection. I missed Ate Al's cooking. I missed Rocko (our dog whose breed is still unknown to us) and Cookie Jr. I missed my bros, my mom and dad, and my lolo. But now, I'm back. I miss Mark's room and bed. I miss my favorite kawayan chair. I miss the spiders in the bathroom. I miss the wake-up calls from the flies and the honey bees. I miss our pansit canton, Yang Chow, pancakes, sardinas, tuna, corned beef w/ potatoes, potatoes w/ corned beef, tortang talong. I miss our magically-refilling drinking water. I miss our disappearing undies (and then finding it the next day hanged outside for everyone to see). I miss the next-door sari-sari store and their TV, Lumpia, RC, Fruit Soda, Chocnut, Popping Candy. I miss Djuri's fans club, especially Zhyrene and Jansel. I miss our BHWs and BNS (Ate Edline, Ate Norma, Ate Pining, Ate Yolly, Ate Elisa, Ate Sixta, and Ate Josita), Maam Dima and Maam Violy. I miss Mark and his kakulitan. I miss Shiema and for being the sister I never had. I miss Ate Marilou and how she always greeted us warmly whenever we came back to their house at the beginning of the week. Thank you for taking us in, for the hospitality, for treating us as your own. Thank you for the amazing six weeks. I will never forget the experience. We will see each other again. I will be back, I promise. I miss home. |
