Uwi sa Pinipinas

Friday 6 April 2012

My siblings and niece went home to my folks so we had the chance to video chat with them via Skype. Poj had a lot of fun talking to them and showing off his antics. When Lolo asked him to come home to the Philippines, we said we can't afford to go home this year not unless it's via the balik-bayan box that we plan to send later on in the year. So Poj took an empty box, climbed in with his toys and send "I'm going home to Pinipinas!" Hay, you can just imagine the laughter that erupted after that.  (We've told him many times that it's Pilipinas pero Pinipinas pa rin ang nasasabi nya! In the same way that he says he's a Pinipino!)

We do miss home especially at times like these when families get together and celebrate. These are the times when we feel more homesick than ever. We also feel that Poj is missing out on a lot of things that Papa E and I experienced when we were growing up. Hayz, the prize you pay when you live away from home.....
