It has been a great feeling being reunited with my family once again, since it has only happened once before when they came home in the Philippines, when I was still staying there trying to finish my studies. Since it’s the start of the new year, why don’t we just stick to the present, for now.Īt this moment, I’m typing this down in our room, my family’s room, here in Sharjah, UAE. These happenings are already a thing of the past, and relaying them to you would just take me ages to finish writing them down. I guess at this point, you’re already expecting me to relate a summary of the happenings that has been, but I won’t. I’m a born writer! A writer has to write even if people don’t actually read his writings. I can not ignore this burning desire forever. It would be a pain, going to and fro the town centre just to go online, with my parents being so stingy to me these days, I hated it. Another factor was, I don‘t have my own internet connection anymore. It has already been almost 10 months ago since my last post and obviously a lot have happened during that lengthy hiatus, such happenings that are really worth sharing with my blog, but I failed to do so because I was too lazy to write all about them. That’s one fact in my think-tank that I can not eradicate no matter how persistent I am on trying to ignore this longing. I hope I really do find a decent job amidst this obnoxious financial turmoil going about the entire world. Now that I’m all done with studying, I came back to pursue a career. When I got a little older, I think I was five when they took me here for the first time where I stayed until my 7th grade and then I went back to the Philippines to resume my education. They couldn’t quit their jobs just to take care of me so my grandparents from my father’s side took the responsibility of looking after me while my parents resumed their jobs here abroad. Then they got married and had me as a baby after two years. Coincidentally, my grandmother’s and my mom’s employers are relatives, so that’s how my parents met. My dad naman, he was able to come here through the help of his mother who also used to work here as a maid. That’s why my mom opted to fly abroad instead to help my grandpa. She went abroad at an early age when her father became incapable of sending her to college because life was really hard for them back then. You see, my mom came here when she was just 19 years old and lucky for her (and even for us) to have found really kind and generous employers. He used to work here as a mechanic when they haven’t met yet. Furthermore, my dad started working here when he and my mom got married. Would you believe me if I say that my mom has been with them for the last 28 years already?! Yup. My mom’s their maid and my dad’s their driver.
Sigh.Īnd for all of those who are curious, YEP my parents work domestically. I can’t wait for another one of those parties coz my mom only makes Arabic desserts occasionally. Yep, they were all Arabic food, but the were all delicious! Especially the dessert! Yumm. It was really awesome because I felt a bit like a celebrity that day. I also did a lot of shaking hands with all the people I was introduced with. Man, that afternoon became really busy for me from all that smiling, which slightly strained my entire face. And when I left she could barely pronounce well, now she’s typically talkative for her age.
Even his sister YASMIN outgrew me! She’s just 12 but I think she’s a inch taller than I am. He’s actually 5 years younger than me and now you’d be surprise to see him with a lot of facial hair and about 5” inches taller than I am. My favourite playmate before was ABDUL AZIZ, my parents’ employers‘ eldest grandson. They sure grew! I mean, yeah, they all outgrew me. And MEYN, I too felt a lot of shock seeing the kids I played with before. I think its one of their expressions to denote a feeling of surprise from seeing someone they haven’t met for a long time. Everybody was surprised and happy to see me again. The said lunch was arranged by my parents’ employers for their entire clan and that had been a chance for me to meet some of them for the first time since I came back. Last Friday, we had our lunch at the Sharjah Carlton Hotel.
