Just want to share the latest happening in my life this past week. I thought this might be interesting. Super akong naging busy pero super exciting din naman.

I'll start from the beginning.

My mom adopted a pregnant girl, September of last year. She's a kasambahay of our family friend. She was kicked out of the house kasi daw she's promiscuous, but i dont care if it was true. So there, she tried to go back to her province pero di sya pinayagan sumakay ng barko kasi nga buntis, bawal pala sa barko yun, kaya sya inampon ng mom ko at tsaka pala sabe nya after she give birth aalis na sya sa bahay namin kasi wala naman syang balak arugain yung bata, she was planning to send the baby to adoption or worst ibenta nya. Hindi naman na kame nakipag argue 'coz it's her decision. Naawa mom ko sa kanya kasi parang lahat ng tao kaaway nya, I wont elaborate anymore on the issue, to give justice naman sa girl since di ko naman alam kung totoo yung mga yun. Anyway, what my mom did is she wrote to "Wish Ko Lang" to tell the story of the girl. Kasi nga super naawa kame sa kanya and she told us na wala na syang parents.

My mom went to Broadway to drop the letter but unfortunately they no longer have the drop box sa Broadway, sinabihan sya na she needs to go pa sa GMA Kamuning to drop the letter. But the good thing is, guest si Vicki Morales sa Eat Bulaga, which happened to be in Broadway. So she watched Eat Bulaga and she saw Vicki, mind you, she personally hand the letter to Vicki Morales. Yan ang Nanay ko!Ü

That was October.

Dumating ang November at nanganak na yung girl. It's a baby girl. We were amazed on how cute the baby was. Hindi ako kagandahan pero masasabe ko na hindi talaga maganda yung girl na inampon namin kaya ganun na lang ang amazement namin nung makita namin na maganda yung bata. Naisip na lang namin na baka nagmana sa tatay. At di lang kame ang nagiisip ng ganun, apparently the midwives had the same opinion about the girl and the baby, and because super amazed sila they named the baby Crystal. You know why? 'Coz they thought na yung girl na inampon namin is si Bakekang and the baby was the pretty daughter ni Bakekang na si Crystal. Ang mean noh?

So dumagsa yung gustong umampon sa bata, aaminin ko, at first talaga wala kameng pakialam kung anong gagawin nya sa bata kasi iniisip namin na baka kamukha nya, oo mean na kung mean, pero natural lang na isipin namin yun kung ganun naman talaga ang itsura nung nanay. Pero after she gave birth, we wanted na ampunin na lang yung bata kesa ibenta. The girl agreed naman, so she stayed in our house. I actually don't agree na sa amin sila, kasi i'm the breadwinner and having them in our house is like having another mouth to feed especially sa mga gamit ng bata. Ok lang sa bata but not the girl. But since i'm a good daughter (aherm!) nakisama ako since kelangan naman nung bata yung mother nya.

January. Nasa amin pa rin yung mag-ina, and super na nagiging attached yung parents ko sa bata and mind you my parents were planning na pag-aralin yung nanay ng cosmetology para may pangbuhay sya sa bata kung wala na sya sa amin. Syempre di ako pumayag. San sila kukuha ng panggastos?

Well, after a week nasagot ang tanong ko. A guy came sa house and started asking questions about sa mag-ina. Nagpakilala sya na taga GMA. We were already guessing na galing syang Wish Ko Lang pero di umaamin yung guy, we just let it pass kasi alam naman namin na dun sya galing. Bakit naman magkakainterest ang isang taga GMA sa story nila kung hindi dahil sa sulat na binigay sa kanila. So there, nagtaping sila about sa buhay buhay ng mag-ina. On the third day of the taping, dun na inamin na galing sila sa Wish Ko Lang. Pinabinyagan nila yung bata, binigyan ng baby stuffs, binigyan ng scholarship yung girl for Cosmetology sa TESDA pati mga gagamitin nya eh provided ng show like yung mga pang manicure and rebond ng hair, and binigyan ng award ang mom ko for being helpful and all. Nanay ko yun!Ü

So tuloy sa pagtira sa amin yung mag-ina. Natapos na nung girl yung scholarship at nakakapag service service na sya. May mga established customer na rin sya. Mas lumalalim rin yung affection ng parents ko dun sa bata, pati na rin kameng magkakapatid. And mas nakikilala namin yung nanay nung bata. Im not going to say what we found out about her, let's just say that those stuffs na nalaman namin are enough para palayasin na lang namin sya sa bahay. Napagkasunduan nila ng mom ko na iiwan muna nya yung bata sa amin habang di pa maayos ang pamumuhay nya, then dadalaw dalawin na lang nya sa amin yung bata, which she agreed upon.

Ang kaso, nitong Tuesday, lumayas sya sa bahay namin with the baby. Walang dala miski ano. Iniwan nya lahat ng gamit nila pati yung mga gamit nya sa pagrerebond and manicure. My mom came up with the conclusion na tumakas sya. We were confused as to why she has to leave without any notice. Kung nagpaalam naman sya papayagan naman namin sya. Ang isa pang kinakaasar ko, wala syang utang na loob. Pinaglaban sya ng parents ko sa mga taong ayaw sa kanya. Tinulungan sya, mas pinili sya ng mom ko kahit na super against ako sa pagtira nya sa bahay and then eto ang igaganti nya.

We tried to look for them kasi my mom was worried na baka gawin nya yung pinaplano nya noon pa lang, ang ibenta yung bata. We tried to contact GMA and tried to tell them what happened, we filed a blotter to the police para kung makita man kung saan, pwedeng dalhin sa custody ng DSWD, we also informed DSWD about it. My mom didn't stopped from there, sya mismo ang naghahanap sa bata. Until, nung thursday nakita nya yung mag-ina sa bahay nung nanay nanayan nya. Kinuha ng nanay ko yung bata kasi ang dungis dungis na nga dahil walang dalang damet, alam nung girl na kinuha ng mom ko yung bata kasi gising sya nung time na yun, gusto pa nga nyang sumama kaso pinigilan ng mom ko dahil baka kung ano magawa ng kuya ko sa kanya pag nakita sya. So inuwi ng mom ko yung baby and binihisan then dinala nya sa DSWD para isurrender, my mom knows naman na wala kameng habol sa bata kaya nya dinala sa DSWD. Pagdating nya dun, andun na yung girl and nagpafile ng reklamo. Apparently, my mom committed daw kidnapping, my mom, was so angry kasi bukod sa walang utang na loob yung girl balak pa syang kasuhan ng kidnapping, wherein the truth is, the girl knows naman na kukunin ng nanay ko yung bata dahil napakadungis.

They were asked what are the reasons why the girl needs to leave the house, she provided reasons naman, but the officers won't find it enough para humantong sa ganun. So they came to a conclusion na both of them need to leave the baby in the custody of DSWD until the mother finds a good job to let her sustain the kid. But since all of her cosmetic materials are not with her and my mom doesnt have any plan to give it back to the mother for revenge, she can't look for any job to sustain her kid. So the kid has to stay with DSWD.

This might be very interesting to you and you might be wanting for more details, but I won't give more. I was very worried to my parents because I know that they care about the kid but they also know that they don't have any legal rights to the kid, so they don't have any choice but to let DSWD takes care of the baby.

I just hope that the girl realizes how she waste the opportunity to have a good life with her baby. I don't care if she didn't event graduate from grade school. Benefit of the Doubt can't be learn in school. It's a natural attitude towards people who showed kindness to you.

Capri

She's got a baby inside,

And holds her belly tight,

All through the night,

Just so she knows,

She's sleeping so,

Safely to keep,

Her growing.

And oh when she'll open her eyes,

There'll be no surprise,

That she'll grow to be,

So beautifully,

Just like her mother,

That's carrying.

Oh, Capri,

She's beauty.

Baby inside she's loving.

Oh, Capri,

She's beauty.

There is an angel growing peacefully.

Oh Capri,

Sweet baby.

And things will be hard at times,

But I've learned to try.

Just listening,

Patiently.

Oh Capri,

Sweet baby.

Oh, Capri,

She's beauty.

Baby inside she's loving.

Oh, Capri,

You're beauty,

Just like your mother,

That's carrying.

Oh Capri.

Happy Mother's Day!

Honestly, I really dont have anything to say in this post. I just felt like it's been awhile since I post something in this blog and I feel obliged to create another one.

Well, if your interested on what happened to me after the last post, Good news! I already received my salary on Apr. 30. (im no longer a beggar!hehehe).

But aside from that, I quit my job. Well not really quit because I have a new job waiting for me on May 21st. I just resigned early to unwind. I feel like im suffocating when im in the office, the pressure and the people there makes me feel dizzy. So here I am, free as a bird.

I have a plan to go to Quezon Province in my sis' house and waste my remaining vacation days there learning how to drive and play a guitar. Just for the sake of learning it. I just hope that my nephew has the patience to teach me and that I learn those things before I become busy again.

It just sink in to me, the reality of not working.

It just feels good, not to be pressured by your Sup, of not waking up in the middle of the night while your family is sleeping and your preparing for your self to go to work, of not being a zombie because you can now sleep the same time as your family sleep and lastly, you no longer have to kiss the assess of those americans who call you because they feel like your raping them because of the charges they saw on their bills.

I am free.

I can now change my occupation on my friendster account from being a "miracle worker for a american idiots" into "bum"...Hmmm..I don't think that sounds right.Hahaha!

But, there are also some downside on this decision that I made. Aside from not having money to support me and my family. Believe it or not, i'll be missing a lot there, the aircon, the free iced tea and lemonade, the guards, the la-z-boys, the kampays after the shift and my team mates.

Hope I get to see them in the future.
