restraint

a self-imposed restraint is more difficult than i imagined considering that the thing i am restraining myself from is a very tempting one.

next week, my mother and nephew will be going to manila. it will take more than my usual self-discipline not to jump in on the plane with them. i would bet a million stars that i would be missing a lot, considering that this would be Yo's (my nephew's nickname) first time to see a lot of things such as the ocean park. i would love to see the expression of awe on his face (on my part, i also want to see the park for myself hehe).

hay.. i would like to think that it is within my control to give anything (i own) just so i could go with them. i want to be there for my nephew when it's time for him to take the advised tests. and on the side, i want to be with Angelo. i cannot believe it's almost a month since he last held me in his arms. argh!

well, i definitely cannot go with them this time. but i have the summer to look forward to. i just hope the summer class with the Father won't eat up the rest of my meager summer. if it will, then i will enroll a week late for the next semester :) after all, there won't be dire consequences if i do, except paying a surcharge for enrolling late.

i share the same sentiments. My mother and sis are going to Bora for a little reunion with relatives from Iloilo and some balikbayans.

They wanted us family to be there but only my mom and sis are free next week. How sad. It would have been a much needed vacation.

God bless to your pamangkin... he's so cute...

hay..

i don't know if law school and all the lost opportunities outweigh the so-called brilliant future we might have just because we'd be lawyers.

well, for you, goodbye to bora and for me, goodbye to manila.

thanks, i hope my pamangkin will come through with this cleared of anything he is suspected of having.
