I didn't go home this week.  That isn't a strange occurrence, actually.  In fact, I've done it quite a lot in the past.  Strangely, though, this particular weekend was rather lonely for me.

Since I lost my phone last week, I haven't been able to have a real conversation with my parents.  I was thinking that it wasn't any big deal, but it made me miss them a lot.  Before, my mom chatting me up in Y!M annoyed me, but now, I want her to keep IM-ing me (which she can't yet, because she isn't used to the mobile version of Y!M, I think).  I miss my dad's formal texts* (which make me feel like I'm a grown-up or something).  I felt a bit sad when I actually got to talk to my mom for a short while, and our conversation was just:

Me: Mama! I missed you!
Mama: Ate, hindi ka uuwi?
Me: Hindi.
Mama: Ah, idedeposit na lang daw ni papa yung baon mo. Pag nagwithdraw ka, may laman na yun. Nanalo rin pala si Kurt sa copyreading contest kahit wala silang Journalism sa school.
Me: Uh, okay. D: Um--- mama, kailangan ko ng pambili ng artworks. Pwedeng padagdag kahit na konti lang?
Mama: *tells papa* OK daw.

It's so quick and, I don't know. I kind of missed how everytime I go home, she would whine to me: "Dalawa na lang yung anak ko!  Sila na lang yung nakakakain ng masarap!"  To which I reply: "Okay lang, diba bunso niyo na si Sadaharu?" (PS Sadaharu and I are friends now! Before I left, he hugged me!!!! ASLFJALSFJA I swear he hugged my legs and cried when we let go <3 FRIENDS YOU HAVE TO MEET HIM, HE'S THE SWEETEST, GAYEST DOG EVER)

Anyway, I think I can survive another week without much contact.  It's very busy, and things are passing by in a blur that I'm not sure if something happened or if it didn't.

*On his birthday, I texted my dad a message which took me quite a lot of drafts XD:

Me: Happy birthday, papa! I love you! You're the best father ever!
Papa: K.
