Today, of all those days that I’ve dropped off Nacou at my mom’s, I felt immensely sad for leaving her there. In fact, I was also extremely sad for not being able to stay longer and spend more time with my mom.
On my way back home, I started to reminisce the precious moments I shared with my mom. The retail therapies, the spas, the massages, the food, the gossips, the laughters, the tears… I found myself wishing that I could turn back the time and go back to those days when we did everything together. Not that I’m unhappy now but I’m just not spending ENOUGH time with her. I feel bad. I got a lot of making up to do.

And so it poured heavily through the night and went on all the way till the wee hours in the morning…
The spaying appointment for Cocoa has been RE-scheduled. *rolling my eyes*
Why am I not surprised?
Pah! Family!
Sometimes, you can NEVER rely on them. My mom called me this morning to tell me that she couldn’t find the pet carrier. There I was on the bed, subconsciously awake, trying to register what exactly could’ve been the big deal.
I’ve been reminding both my sister and my mother to get Cocoa sterilized as soon as she turned 1. Which was in February and it’s been long overdue!
Excuses after more excuses… They’re busy with work, couldn’t get time off…
Okay, acceptable.
But then there’s the occasional complains from mama that Cocoa’s meow-ing is getting unbearable, it pains me to say this but is it REALLY my problem?!?
Aren’t she supposed to take it out on my sister? IT’S HER CAT AFTERALL! She was the one who dumped Cocoa with my mom in the first place! Why can’t she just be responsible in some ways or another?
But then again I won’t be fair to quickly dismiss the problem that way. Cocoa is my mom’s responsibility too! *sigh*
Such a headache!
Can’t blame me for getting pissed now or can you?
Today, I was meaning to do some debt collecting but I guess I have to cancel the plan.

My mom turned 56 last Saturday and the whole bunch of us spent the evening at her place having a scrumptious feast of local delights and played Uno throughout the night. It was one of those treasured moments that rarely happens when we were kids. Sadly, once again, I didn’t take my camera with me and didn’t manage to capture the happy event we had as a family.
My sister will turn 32 on the 15th and we’re gonna have yet another birthday gathering.
I’ve always loved birthdays!
But when I was younger, we never really celebrated any birthdays. Maybe the occasional little gifts for our parents shared among the siblings but that was all there is to it. I’m not fretting, but just a little disappointed that we never cherished those moments. They could’ve been a sweet memory for us to reflect on today. But once again, I’m not regretting what we didn’t have.
Through all the things that we’ve been through, we have learnt to accept now our past and make something out of it.
