The long weekend was one of those rare moments when Husby travelled and I was left at home. Thankfully, have found bliss in my new hobby --- scrapbooking!!! Well not the real deal yet, it's more like sorting our pics and putting in fancy embellishments and texts on each page. Especially now that I've been having some memory gaps, it pays to invest time in documenting our travels. As said before, when you're memory is gone, all you have left are pictures heheh.
Anyway, thankfully too my younger sister works near so invited her over to spend the weekend and to bum around. She had a blast watching old movie reruns while I had the OC attack and organized and filed all our music CDs and DVDs -- with classifications to boot :) Next project will be to organize and group together our book collection which is indeed very ambitious so I don't dare start something I know I might not get to finish :)
And of course I have the longest introduction ...
Why separation anxiety? Well, last Sunday, sis and I had lunch with the folks in QC and Mom prepared two of my favorite dishes. She cooked it herself and the eggplant was a bit salty while the sinigang was a bit bland. But man, it tasted heavenly to me:) It's been a while since Mom last cooked, she actually prefers to "mando" in her kitchen (may pinagmanahan ako!~). Her point is that the usual Sunday lunches are not the same what with three of her daughters away from home, and the pinakamagana kumain (moi!) already has a good cook for a husband.
And so she cooked again for me last Sunday. Because I requested and she gamely obliged my plea for homecooked meal after two days of fastfood take out. And yesterday, the separation anxiety bit me.
Yup, found myself crying over the thought I can't just go to QC to taste my Mom's cooking when I'm already based in Singapore :( Or to listen to my Dad's endless senseless rantings..or to just lie on my old bed.. or play with Massey ... or pull silly jokes on my sister...
I'll miss it and I hope I don't self destruct in Singapore. These are the very things that keep me sane and keeps me grounded on who the real me is... now if I can only make a scrapbook of these thoughts to take with me to Singapore ...
