I did not like my day yesterday; My mom, on the other hand, had a grand time. She went out at around lunch time and left me with my Aunt Jamee.
She went to visit this:

It is the oldest active ocean-faring passenger ship. It travels around the world carrying books and selling it at discount prices. Being the bookworm that she is, she had to see it. She bought seven classic novels all for P900.00 (roughly $20).
Then, she went to see her friends and they watched the final performance of her favorite Filipino band.

If she only knew that I barely touched my food because I was anxious for her to come home.
If she only knew that I just slept because I didn't want to play with anyone else.
If she only knew how long I stood by the gate hoping to see her familiar face.


When she came home around 2 a.m., I immediately greeted her and showered her with doggy kisses. I was so happy to see her that I forgot I was supposed to be mad at her. It didn't matter anymore that she was away for far too long. All that matters is that she's home.
