Dear Mama,
It's now past 1:00am and I haven't slept yet. I was meaning to write you earlier, unfortunately, in thinking out what to write, it reached me this hour. I am really sorry for my first letter, I know I should not be writing to you about those kind of stuffs, I should take care of things here now.
Anyway, I haven't talked to you yet about these past days - Rem's graduation, EA'a birthday, Angel's exam and interview at Holy Family and lots of things. I guess I should update you on what's going on with us. Ralph's graduation passed by quickly, we haven't prepared any at home. I don't think I can pull that one, fortunately Ralph understood and we just celebrated together with EA and Angel. First, we had dinner at Cafe Seatenta in Balibago, and was Angel satisfied. Aside from big servings of spaghetti, she praised the service at the place. You know how particular our 9 year old daughter about service. I'm sure, the two boys enjoyed dinner there too, we had a good time there.
After dinner, we went at Boom na Boom Carnival at the back of SM Clark. There, they rode the bump car, the carousel, and the mini-viking boat. Ralph finally was able to ride the cable car (chair actually), at first he thought it was fun. But when he noticed that the cable car was very slow and they stayed on top for a very long time, I think he felt nervous. Although he won't admit it to me. They had fun at the carnival, they went in the bump car twice. It was fun just watching them going at each other in their bump cars. If only you can see the pictures. After that, we finally went home. It was exhausting but fun.
Next was EA's birthday, which we celebrated at SM Clark. They played at Quantum. They also have bump car there. I played table hockey with Ralph and EA. It was fun and exhausting. Although the place was air conditioned, I sweat a bit in the game. And we watched a movie, Orton Hears A Who... it was a good movie. Another CGI effect movie, the kids liked it. I love it when I make the kids happy.
Angel, on the hand passed the exam and interview at Holy Family. We are now just waiting for the schedule of their enrollment on April 29, Ralph has yet to secure his card from his adviser. He still lacks one teacher signature on his clearance. On my part, still there are no confirmed orders for the personalized business. Just lots of inquiries, I am now applying for a job in SM Clark. I was applying for a store manager, but when the HR Head interviewed me, she read that I am a CPA in my resume so she said that she will refer me for the position of accounting manager instead. I'm just waiting for a call for another interview with the department heads.
Ate Let, sent a document for me sign, which I signed today at Sta. Teresita. The document is a letter actually which congratulates me and says that I have been accepted to work in their (Ate Let's) company in Canada. They will be waiting for me once I complete all my documents. Imagine that! I already have a job in Canada when I haven't moved a finger to apply. Ate Let is really helping me to migrate to Canada. I will be going there with kids, just as you told me... it seems to be that I really have no future in here.
Ralph is not really keen on going to Canada, EA too. They actually want to be left here, I don't know... maybe they're just apprehensive. I can understand them because they don't know anybody there, it's an entirely different culture... I guess they are just afraid. I too, am not sure about my feelings regarding this thing, but I guess going to Canada is the best thing for us. Angel is the most excited when it comes to the Canada thing. How I wish you are still with us as we migrate, maybe there you won't suffer much because I would be able to sustain your dialysis. And maybe we could even arrange for a kidney transplant once we are there. Oops, here I am again... I'm sorry.
Well, I guess that would be all for now. Looking forward to being with you soon. I'm trying my best to take care of the children... and please, do look after them when they're not with me.
Bye for now Mama.... take care, I love you.
I miss you.
Daddy
