REMINSCING HOME

Good thing I still have my 4 year old phone where I can still scan old photos in it.. when I want to look back whatever I want to get reminisced of, i have evidence.

So here's for today.. Old photos taken 'at home' saved in my phone.

My family. My parents with our youngest on his 6th grade graduation about 4  years ago. My mom's photo on her yearbook. Our eldest bro photo in a frame hanged in our wall of pictures. our second trying to get his best shot on our living room. Me and my sister also at the living room. My other three brothers on our porch. me and my sister again in our room.



My self.


Our ever (magulo )  sweet home... Taken about three years ago.. a 20 year old house composed of 6 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1 kitchen, 1 dining, 1 library room, wide living room and corridor. But the arrangement changed now.

BACK HOME

It’s been a year since I’ve been away from home, it’s actually the longest time.And now I'm back for a short vacation. It’s always a typical feeling of wondering what’s been changed in times like that.

 

So what’s new?

 

Nothing so major, just these:

 

The first level of our house were divided in two for my brother who just recently got married, he occupied the two bedrooms, the extended living room, laundry and the other restroom.

 

The two new huge jars added to my mom’s collection.

 

The ever messed up library/computer room got new furniture; actually it’s not new, our eldest brother had it transferred there after their separation with his wife.

 

Our favorite tambayan room, my parents’, no longer cool since the air-conditioned had resigned.

 

No more variety tv shows, so bad, cable line in our area got disconnected..

 

Plants outside are taller.

 

My room with my sister is rearranged.

 

Good thing internet connection in our home had stepped up the speed.

 

Our old and ruined ceiling is finally replaced with something new after 20 years.

I miss home

I miss home extremely everytime I wake up so early, that's since I started working.. Sometimes random thoughts throbbing my mind... that I wish I never got here to where I am.. that I should be spending my life with my family... that I hate it here... that life is comfortable, simple, at home.. that as time runs, some things change too... and I'm missing something as well.

Walking towards our project site early in the morning makes me feel dull. Skyscrapers seem to mock at me, telling me..."you dont belong here, go home!"

Instead seeing the wide entrance of this buildings I will see the red steel gate of our house. Seeing my family, that's what I wished to happen at that moment... But no, the reality is I am here, soul searching, having my fortune quest...

Anyway, I just felt that this morning.. yesterday... the previous day... and the following day I guess.. But while writing this. I am fine... I just cant explain my inconsistency... But I suppose that's normal... whos not missing their home????
