The Call

My Kuya Raymond called this morning... It lasted for 59 mins. and I already felt my ears burning... The topic? My mom's requirements for her immigration visa.

The moment my brother left for the US, I knew that this would happen. Having been a citizen last year, people were telling me that he could get 'ma' in less than a year.

We discussed the early completion of the requirements. He emphasized that ma should get at least 3 copies each, one of which will be sent to him. I bravely asked, "Kuya, so talagang makukuha mo na si mama noh?" He said, "Pagkatapos niyang makuha yung letter of appointment and medical examination sa embassy, mabilis na yan. Siguro by September andito na siya."

Mabilis nga... Another thing is my Kuya Robert naman is bound to leave for his MBA scholarship in Japan on July 1. He'll be staying for 2 years there. So practically, I'll be left alone. It made me think that our June 8 Tagaytay family day is one of the last days that all of us could be together.

I don't have any regrets such as -- I could have spent more time with my mom, as we were always together... we chat about anything over coffee, before going to sleep, while watching her koreanovela collection. Yes, it's going to be sad but like what I said... I knew this time would be coming.
