hiatus

i am back.

after two months of blog-hibernating, and numerous blogables to be immortalized in an entry, i have decided that it is high time that i awaken my now snoring blog account. so many events had passed; all of which summoned entirely different emotions. inexplicable, to say the least.

hence, let me recapitulate what was i up to for the last two months by enumerating what have i learned, if any, from those experiences...

i have learned and realized that...

1. that being a mom is one huge responsibility, which cannot be messed up because it cannot hardly be redone.

i have spent weeks taking over mom's chores and i was sooo exhausted i barely had the time to watch my favorite shows on tv. i had to get up as early as 4 in the morning to prepare dad, ate and my nephew's breakfast. it's difficult to cook especially for a person like me who wasn't domestically-engined. yeah, i was raised as an "eater" and never the "cook." it was harder thinking about the menu for the day. and i realized that i would think a hundred, or even a million of times if i will ever go for motherhood.

2.that cooking is a good way of workin out those flabs.

be it fried, nilaga, tinola, sinigang, sopas, or just rice, i have learned them all! hmpf! =D however, i do not eat whatever i have cooked. i dunno, they just taste so different.

3. it is scary being a woman.

mom had a hysterectomy last october 22, a saturday, 7 in the morning, at the asian hospital. her entire uterus had to be removed so as to eradicate the possibility of cancerous cells growin [can't explain it well, ala-omar,hehe]. with GOD's help and thru the prayers of family and friends, she is now okay and had a speedy recovery. while i was in college, she had a DNC [aka 'raspa'] and she had undergone the same before her uterus were removed. her obstetrician-gynecologist explained that women must undergo tests and check-ups of their reproductive system regularly, whether married or not. good heavens naman! we, women, had to suffer for 9 long months to give birth to our husbands' mini-clones and still had to look after these longganisa-looking reproductive organs [segway, i just found out that the uterus pala are so small, parang the size of a small basin lang, but they expand talaga to the extent of carrying fetuses, amazing!]. the many strengths talaga of the women. hehe.

4. things are a lot better when i was in highschool.

since mom had to rest and i took the helm, i was the one who had to accompany and send my nephew to school every morning. the feeling was unexpected. i miss school. i miss my highschool days. the early flag ceremonies, the resounding sermon that the teachers and administrators flood our ears with, the anticipation of seeing crushes... haaay... sweet highschool. but seeing the "kids" nowadays [read:teeners], i let out a deep sigh and realize that nothing compares to what i had. sure we were soooo baduy back then and things are simpler. but the simpler things are far less complicated. kids now are trendier and more in touch with the wonders of technology but, can it outbest the thrill there is in handwritten letters and notes, unfussy fads to deal with and cheap joys?

5. in the employment kingdom, underbars and single-degree holders are just the same insects. only that, the former can apply in call center companies and not feel devastated.

i am speechless. =D i cannot pass this opportunity to make an entry for this.

two months in the outside world.
