I find this night a very good time to write. Just earlier I woke up and find myself crying. After I uttered prayer,I visualized the whole picture inside our home as of that time. There, I see my sister preparing food for dinner. Then her one month and two weeks baby is in his deep sleep. And father is sitting alone in our sala. The last image I see is my Mama, she's in ouur room and is in her bed having a rest and at the same time looking out of her grandson. While picturing them out my tears do not stop from flowing. Why is it? I know they are fine.
I decided to got up and eat my dinner. I think it's only an effect of a hungry one. I washed the dishes for Nikki, my boardmate went early that night to school together with our classmates Honey and Rose to watch the show Mr. Purple Pink in which the contestants are purely 'barako' and would portray a true image of a lady.
An hour later, I have received a text message from my sister informing me that my Ninong Franco in Burias was dead just later that hour. And I answered my question to my crying earlier.
This godfather of mine was so closed to our family.Aside from that his our neighborhood and a close relative of the family. Right after I read the message I have to pause and utter a prayer for his soul
Ninong, May you rest in Peace. MARY ANN

Hello every one!
It's summer time! It's vacation time!
Different 'pakulo' every one would think of. Tourists would possibly go to their favorite hang outs for this weather. Even native residents like workers and students would go to their respective areas to spent their vacation with their families.
Last night, I have overheard from the volumed television of our landlord that Donsol, Sorsogon is now hitting the great number of vacationist for this month. I t would probably increase for the upcoming months. For those whose who are in the nearby of Donsol, they are lucky for they will be having a good income in their businesses this time. To the staffs and leaders there, show your true hospitality to our visitors. Treat them well as you could. To our vacationist just enjoy playing with this creatures specifically the mammals known as ' butanding' which are under the sea.
Of course our hardworking family members of the family who work and are far from their love ones would probably excited to see and share their ' pasalubong'. Surely, your family who are left are also feeling the same and busy preparing in welcoming you back.

To student like me, the feeling is doubled. Excitement plus feeling of relief from long exhaustion.It's time to be free from paper works and from the corners of the room to where every student almost spent his time, however for good---instructive.
To all who will be coming home---welcome back, to all who will be leaving---safe journey.

It's me Mary Ann.
