Rainy Friday night

Dear Mama,

    It's a rainy Friday night. It's past 7 p.m. and Angel is on her way to work, Mama. I just booked her Grab car, and she's on her way now. The rain started as she was about to get into the car. I hope they'll have a smooth travel, Mama. Although traffic is expected because it's Friday and it's raining. I'm monitoring her through my app, Mama.

    Ralph is also getting ready for work. He said he's going to leave early tonight, and he won't be having dinner here. Edgar is still not here, Mama. He and his officemate went out for coffee night. So, once Ralph leaves, I'll be all alone here, Mama. Edgar won't be home until probably 10 p.m. the earliest.

    It think the rain has stopped, Mama. Or it just rested. It's been on and off, Mama. I hope the cats and kitten in our garage our safe. I couldn't let them all in the house, Mama.

    I already had my dinner earlier. I ordered tocilog from the apartment in front of us. I also ordered for Angel's lunch break later at work. I'm not sure if it's the app lagging or there's really traffic in Balibago right now, but the car in the tracker is not moving, Mama. It's seems they are already inside Clark.

    That's all for now, Mama. I have to clean the cats' litter boxes.

    I miss you, Mama.

    I love you.

Just another Monday

Dear Mama,

    It's just another Monday. Angel is already at work, it's 8 p.m. now. Ralph is getting ready for work, too. We already had our dinner, Mama. Not sure really what to write here.

    Yesterday, we went to SM City Clark just to eat, Mama. Ralph attended an event after lunch and he met us at SM around 5 p.m. for the dinner, and afterwards we went straight home. We were not able to have coffee, which might have frustrated Angel because I felt she didn't want to go home. Although she immediately fell asleep as soon as we arrived home. She was actually already sleeping while we were still in the Grab car, Mama.

    Anyway, I really do not know to say. But I wanted to talk to you, Mama. I wish I could.

    I miss you, Mama.

    I love you.

                                                                                                    Daddy

Wednesday night

 Dear Mama,

    It's Wednesday night, and we already had our dinner. Angel is already at work, Mama. She left at 7 p.m. earlier (it's 8:20 p.m. now) before we had our dinner. But Edgar was able to pack her 'lunch' for work, Mama. Ralph is resting now. I will wake him up later at 9 p.m.

    I really don't have much to say now, Mama. Still grinding while dragging my whole existence. Also waiting for my songs in Spotify to be noticed. I'm still not getting much streams, Mama. I guess I just wasted my time and money.

    I'm a bit sleepy now, Mama. But I have to fight it because I still have to wake Ralph up later.

    Anyway, I guess that will be all for now, Mama.

    I miss you.

    I love you, Mama.

                                                                                                        Daddy

Friday anxiety

Dear Mama,

    It's almost 5 p.m., I'll be waking Angel up in a while so she can prepare for work. Although I'm not sure if she's okay. Earlier she sent a message while I was work that she's not feeling well, Mama. She said she'll take a nap and see if she'll feel better later. I hope she is, so she can complete the whole week, Mama.

    Edgar just arrived home from work. He is the one preparing the our dinner, as well as Angel's packed 'lunch' for work. Their lunch is around 11 p.m., though. 

    I'm having anxiety again, Mama. It's Friday, aside from Angel's condition I'm worried again about the restobar beside us. I hope there won't be any problem tonight.

    I'll be reporting the house rent balance again by the end of month, Mama. I am worried because I have so many advances that I might not be able to pay off. Ate Let will get mad at me again. I got caught up again in expenses, Mama. And it seems worse this time. Angel has had a lot of check ups, laboratories, and consultations. Aside from other indulgences to make her feel better. I'm sorry, Mama. I thought things will get better for us financially. I might resort to lenders just to cover up for my advances, Mama.

    I guess that'll be all for now. I'm sorry for the problems, Mama.

    I wish you were here.

    I miss you, Mama.

    I love you.

                                                                                                Daddy

Father's Day celebration and my quarterly check up

Dear Mama,

    Yesterday, our children and I celebrated Father's Day. Well, sort of. We went to Marquee Mall yesterday, Mama. There wasn't really much too see there, except for a car show. What was interesting, Mama was that one of the cars there has a plate number NEM 9999, I forgot the numbers so I just wrote 9s here haha... But the letters  spelled NEM, Mama! It was your nickname! It felt like you were with us yesterday :)

    Then we had our dinner, which was of course courtesy of Ralph, Mama. There was too many pieces of chicken wings and potato rings that we had to take home what we can't finish, Mama. But it was delicious and we had our fill.

    Afterwards, we went to Infinity, Mama because there was an event there and our grandchildren from our nephews was one of the stalls there. We bought drinks to support them. Edgar also bought me a ballcap from the stalls there, Mama. Then we went home, although Ralph had a hard time booking a Grab car. It took him almost 30 minutes, I think. 

    I did not work today. I took my birthday leave before it gets forfeited. It was supposed to be taken on birth month, but since there were too many holidays in May, I asked if I can take it in June, instead and it was approved. To make the day useful, I used my leave to visit my doctor this afternoon for my quarterly check up. Of course, I took my lab test results, Mama.

    My doctor said my lab test results were okay, and my cholesterol level is ideal, not just within the safe range, but it is ideal said my doctor. Of course, I still have to continue maintenance medicines, and see him again after 3 months. Good thing my consultation of covered by my HMO, Mama.

    Anyway, that will be all for now, Mama. I'm just waiting for Ralph to leave for work before I can go sleep, Mama.

    I miss you, Mama.

    I love you.

                                                                                                    Daddy

Father's Day tomorrow

Dear Mama,

    It's Saturday night, only Edgar and I are at home. Ralph attended another quiz night event, and Angel is out with her co-workers. She is better now, Mama. She has completed her antibiotics. Hopefully she won't get sick again. They are still on graveyard shift.

    I got my lab results this morning, Mama. It's time again for my quarterly check up with my doctor. I will go to the doctor on Monday. I'm thankful my lab test results are okay, Mama. At least I think they're okay because they are all still within the safe range, Mama. Unless my doctor sees something that I don't know. I wish there'll be less medicines to take. I'm tired of these medications and check up, Mama.

    Tomorrow is Father's Day again, Mama. After Christmas, it's my least favorite occasion because it reminds me of how big a failure I am as a father. I'm sorry, Mama.

    Anyway, that's all for now. I miss you, Mama.

    I love you.

                                                                                                    Daddy

Angel did not work tonight

Dear Mama,

    Angel did not work tonight. She's sleeping right now. We already had our dinner, Mama. Edgar just arrived home. He had dinner outside. Probably it's related to his financial advisor hustle. Ralph is also sleeping. I will wake him up at 9 p.m., Mama so, he can get ready for work.

    Angel is still sick, Mama. That's why she did not work. It's better that she rest for now, instead of having an on-and-off fever. She'll take her antibiotic later at 10 p.m. Please make her well, Mama. She wanted to work, but her body needs to rest. I hope it won't affect her status in his company. She really wanted that job, Mama.

    That's all for now, Mama. Please hold my hands. I need you, Mama.

    I miss you.

    I love you.

                                                                                                    Daddy

Sunday update

Dear Mama,

    It's another Sunday night, we just had our dinner. We did not go out today, Mama. We were supposed to, but Angel wasn't feeling well, so we just stayed at home. She's taking antibiotics again, Mama. Looks like her tonsils are again swelling which was causing her pain and fever. The antibiotics was prescribed by the doctor in their office, Mama. She was advised to see an EENT, which she did yesterday but the doctor was not around. She'll go back to the EENT next week, Mama.

    We don't have work tomorrow, Mama. It's a local holiday in Pampanga because it's the anniversary of the Pinatubo eruption. Edgar will work, though. They'll be operating in skeletal force and he's one of those who were picked to work. Ralph and Angel will also work tomorrow, Mama because their companies are following U.S. holidays.

    Nothing much is happening, Mama. It's June and it's time again for my quarterly check up with my doctor. It's getting tiresome, Mama. I am supposed to get my blood extraction again for the FBS and other laboratory tests that I need to bring to the doctor. I'm getting tired of this routine.

    Anyway, that's all for now, Mama. I wish to see you soon. I miss you, Mama.

    I love you.
