Mom.

My mom and I had our weekly video calls yesterday. We mostly talked about school, love and friends. She asked how my tortured life as an elite member of the star section was, how am I holding up and stuff. She laughed when I told her how I gave my privilege speech in front of the class about my "LPN" life; how after that speech, people in class started warming up to me more, treating me more as one of them already (which I will never be an alien ever.. hehe asa pa sila!). But at least it wasn't as bad as I think it was from the start anymore. Actually, I've heard worst from my friends who are in other sections.

We talked about Pete, she asked me about his job and why he's there; about his family, if he's the eldest or the youngest that kind of stuff and when he's coming back here in Lilo to visit again. I told her stories about how Pete gets a wee bit paranoid when I'm out of the house at night or not yet home when I lapse my "Cinderella" curfew, when I get home late from school, or when I'm not online and out somewhere and haven't told him when circumstances come that I don't have a load. I told her how he calls everytime we have a misunderstanding, may it be my fault or his, either way he doesn't care, he still manages to call. I told her that Auntie describes our relationship as "expensive" coz everytime I can't reply to one of his messages either IM or SMS, he calls (and mom laughed at this thought). She told me that dad asked her, like 3 or 4 days ago when they were about to sleep, "Do you think Mye has a boyfriend already?" and mom answered, "Yeah I guess she has one. He's in Dubai." and dad asked what he does there, how we met and mom told more about what I told her about Pete. She said dad made a joke on some parts and they laughed, which she doesn't wanna tell me what was it that dad said that made them both laugh (baddd hehe but I know its a good thing when dad jokes).

Although I'm a daddy's girl, I rarely open up to him, we are more like travel buddies, me and dad. We are explorers. There are times when he would catch me home and looking bored and he will just say to me to change coz we'll go somewhere, to which this "somewhere" of his doesn't really consist of "a place" basta lang we can get out of the house and drive till the gas is running empty. We either go check out a new food place or new store, or new city and just go around road tripping. I'm more open to mom because I know she understands more about this mushy stuff. I also told her that I gave her number to Pete, and she said to tell him that she may or may not answer it because she can either be sleeping or at work. Which is what mostly consist her day. But to tell him that he can leave a voice message if he wants to. I asked her if I can stay here December and spend it with Pete instead and will plan to go on vacation or something it depends pa. And she asked where we'll be going and I told her about the miles I've accumulated that is expiring early next year. "Probably 'round Asia, not sure pa naman" I told her.

I have to admit. I saw mom happy that I'm happy telling this to her. I have this precious gift of reading people's faces and I saw, as I was telling here all these, that I am serious about everything. And about Pete. Coz she's know very well how I am when I'm not interested or serious about a person, I tell her and then I stop you can't get more from me. But she saw and felt that when I talk about Pete, I'm more spontaneous, it's like the words just comes out freely from my thoughts. Hehehe, I can talk nonstop for hours.

*Big encouraging sigh* Haiii.... I just hope and pray that this is one of those moments in my life (which aren't that many) where I can look back and say:

"good decision m0ieee!"
