a glimpse...

"Ayaw ko na marinig kung ano pa...!" (I don't want to hear anything else...) -- upon hearing my sister tell my dad that my brother is seeing somone...

"Ikaw kasi, hindi mo pinagsasabihan mga anak mo, gusto mo lang sila masaktan!" (I don't know how to translate this one!) -- jackie to our dad...

"Ok lang, iiyak din sila!" (It's okay, they are going to cry!) -- when asked how she feels about me and my brother seeing someone.

*** if my memory serves me right.. these are the things that our little sister has to say... see how much she loves us?? :)

Finally... an update!!

This blog has been quiet for months now... what can I say? hmmm...

Like my brother mentioned in his entry... we haven't really seen much of each other. I haven't been online as much...

One thing is for sure.. I am so excited to coming home this January!! I would be a bridesmaid to our cousin's wedding, plus, almost everyone in the Ong clan would be coming to Philippines!! The two weeks that we would be there is already planned out... we are gonna be really big group when we go to Bohol... :) I love it!!!

Work has been good.. really can't complain (aside from the back pains that i have been having..). Although, the last week of October hasn't really been good.. three patients that I know, have taken care of passed away. Thank God, it wasn't under my watch.. I am still scared of facing that part. I don't know how well I would handle a dead body.. having to wash it and wrap it... thinking about it just send goosebumps all over my body!!

Oh well.. this would be a short one.. don't really have anything at the moment... :)

Updates, Anyone?

The children of God have been AWOL. Yet again.

Let me digress... from the fact that i don't see Jen on a regular basis...like maybe once a week or those late nights that I get up to get a drink of water and she strolls in 1 past midnight... or I don't get to talk with my sister in the Philippines over the phone because she is in Boracay for some R&R... or from the fact that I'm out at an average of 4 nights per week...the writers have a block. And time is culprit number 1.

But with all those individual activities, we found time to 1. celebrate my sister's 25th birthday, 2. talk to my sister in the Philippines about travel plans and schedules when we get there (woohooo massage and beach, can't wait!), 3. hang out with my mom for a few minutes before she went playing her mahjong during my cousin's birthday bash, 4. kept in touch.

Jen is staying at home for 5 days due to back pains (but she is going to a concert this Saturday!). Achi is doing her events thing and busy looking for a new apartment. As for me, I'd be going on a retreat this weekend at NJ with BustedHalo.com. This time, I'm helping out with some of the retreat details like, song sheets, cds and I did listen and gave feedback to the talks that will be done over the weekend. As for Jackie, she is stuck in school, learning her ABC's like a normal 7-year old with no worries... yet!

Until then... keep the journey alive.
