A decade after my first visit, I set off on a wacky trip with some equally wacky and
fun-loving classmates from AIM.
These fellow MM classmates had enough of serious work and were serious themselves in getting some good clean fun before graduation

ReplyDeleteDuring those first times when Glenn's job would take him away on business trips, he would always bring home "pasalubong." It pacified everyone's sense of loss, kids and parent alike. But it caused me to step back and see the whole picture, exactly as you, gwiz, described it. So Glenn and I thought of something - instead of him buying or bringing home stuff, he could save the money and we would use it to give the kids "gifts of memories" by spending on trips and activities together that would encourage us to talk, experience what it is to be family. Long after, the kids still talk about all these till now and no one can take this away from them, or us. Somehow, this perspective has led us to where we are now - though far from home, we are truly "home with one another" as a family. It is really a gift. In this day and age of being able to communicate in real time, we who are all affected by this new wave of OFWs have to think up of ways to beat the adverse effects, re-think it and make it all work. Once again, "life is not solved, it is managed."
pasensha na rin, ha, hebigat din. hehehe
