the calm AFTER the storm

Everything is almost back to "normal" now but my definition of "normal" has changed so I don't know if everythin is back to normal. Yeah, now I'm confused and so are you. Cool.

My tito, tita, and cousin Gino left last night for Cali (that's home for them). The house is quiet, we are less busy, but the house is also less happy because Gino's not around anymore. No one's hiding my celphone each time I leave it on the table (or anywhere else!), we don't constantly go out anymore to different malls to bring my cousin who is the ULITMATE MALLRAT, and I don't eat like a boy anymore like when my cousin was around. Ate also moved out even if her things are still here. She still sleeps over and she'll come back tomorrow with Kuya John until my parents fly back to Brazil via Los Angeles for ten days.

I should be good at goodbyes by now because I've done it countless of times but I guess one will never get the hang of bidding goodbyes especially to people you love. Goodbyes are always sad because the distance is there and the absence is painful when you miss people. But such is my life...distance has made this family closer and even if we're not physically together, the love will always make us FEEL closer than we really are. Besides, if December next year pushes through then it will be just a year apart of not seeing each other.

I owe my Auntie Belle stories and photos of my birthday celebration, ate's bachelorette, ate and kuya john's wedding, and the three day vacation away from the city at Tarawoods. I also owe Ate Anabelle a lengthy email. I feel lazy just thinking of recapping all these activities but I do want to chronicle them for the sake of looking back when I feel like it in the future. I promise I'll blog them...one step at a time. I have tons of photos to share too but I haven't uploaded them yet.

I got tired from all these acitivities but it was worth it because I LOVE MY FAMILY. :) And 2008 is a hell of a year to remember, alright!
