I woke up earlier than I usually do and went directly to Mama's room kissed her on the cheek and enthusiastically said "Happy Birthday Mama!" Its my mom's birthday today and eversince I always have the habit of giving a simple gift for my mom and of course as the eldest I usually initiate and ask my siblings as to "what are we going to give for mama?". Hehehe looking back when I was little my mom loved the drawings I made for her. She often requests that I make one for my ninong and ninangs but eventually I got tired of it. Yesterday my mom made an unusual request, that we shouldn't bother buying her a gift. Well it was really late and my sister and I had to make up an excuse just to got out without her. I was actually planning on buying her a dozen red roses (her favorite) last night but unfortunately the shops were already closed by the time I got a chance. Well at least my mom got her wish...my dad is going home on Monday...
I've been sleeping late these past few days because of the recent events that has happened. I'm always watching CNN and BBC keeping up-to-date with what was happening at the Vatican. Its very sad that our beloved Pope John Paul II left us already but looking on the brighter side at least he is already back HOME with his family and God.
I have a typical first name and that is Kristina. It could be spelled-out in different ways (Cristina, Christina, Xtina and what have you) but nevertheless it still sounds the same. For the last 2 decades of my existence, my name has evolved from Maria, tin-tin, Kristina, Kristeta, tina, tins and in an effort to be unique I finally chose a hyphenated name now I am t-na.
Mood Swings
Confessions
I always said the right things, throwing smiles left and right, ignoring "unpleasant" scenarios pretend that it didn't happen. I found it difficult to say NO, even though I really don't want to do it. To top it off, I always believed that "If I could just be nice to other people, maybe they will also be nice to me in return". Now, realizing that all of that crap I thought of is just full of shit since a lot of people took advantage of my disposition. Some of them even recognized that I was gullible and naive but instead of correcting me, they completely did the opposite. I've treasured momments of reflection and meditation, the healing of wounds. One day I'll face and conquer my demons...
