Going down

Dear Mama,

    I don't why I am feeling down again lately. Every time I go home, I feel tired, and at night I don't want to do anything. I just lay on the bed and scroll my on phone screen until I feel sleepy, Mama.

    I'm having these bouts with loneliness again, Mama. I feel so empty. I should be happy because Angel is already working, and she's doing fine. I should be worrying less, but I am so darn tired and lazy for everything!

    I'm sorry, Mama. This thing usually comes at night time, when I am about to sleep.

    Anyway, it looks like I won't be saying anything good tonight. I might as well end this letter now.

    I miss you, Mama.

    I love you.

Good Friday

 Dear Mama,

    It's Good Friday. Angel left about 20 minutes ago for work. They do not observe Philippine holidays in their work because it's a call center and their clients are US-based. The good thing is they have holiday pay, at least. She will be working until tomorrow, Saturday. Her day off will start on Sunday. She seems to be enjoying as of now, Mama. 

    Ralph has started in his new job. I'm not sure if I have mentioned that already in my previous letters. He is still adjusting because he was working graveyard shift in his previous company, and now he is working daytime. He's fine so far, aside from being caught up with chores sometimes. 

    Nothing really new about me and Edgar right now. Maybe I'm just excited because my term as president of our Toastmasters club is about to end. I'm happy I got through it, and we reached the highest level of achievement in my term. Of course, that wasn't because of me, Mama. It's because of the dedicated members and officers of our club. I'm sure they will do even better next year.

    I guess that will be all for now, Mama. Until my next letter. 

    I miss you, Mama.

    I love you.
