Dear Mama,
I'm sorry for not writing to you lately. My last letter was May, and it's already September. It's already Christmas season here in the Philippines haha...
The truth Mama was, I was really planning to write another letter but every time I sat down in front of my laptop, I didn't know what to say. My mind would always go blank, Mama. But I know, deep inside me, I wanted to say a lot to you. I wanted to talk to you, Mama.
My mental state has been on a rollercoaster ride these past months, Mama. Sometimes I would feel high and excited, then suddenly I would feel low and filled with anxiety. Most of these anxieties happen when I'm at home, Mama. Ironic because I am supposed to be relaxed here, but you know the situation in our neighborhood, Mama.
Anyway, Angel is working again, Mama. She said she would stay longer in her work now. I hope so. She is also running her online selling business. She started it when she was not yet working, she said she will continue with her business even though she is already working. Still a long way to go, but she's getting better in handling her finances now, Mama. Compared to how she was before.
Ralph and Edgar are still in their same company. Although Ralph now has to report to the office once a week. They used to have a complete work-from-home set up. But the government was requiring BPOs to have a certain percentage of manpower that should report to office. Hence, their set up now.
I am now an Area Director in Toastmasters, Mama. My term started last July 1st. I am not even sure what I am doing, So far, I am surviving. I am not sure when training and contest season comes. Because I need to organize events and people, and I cannot do that, Mama. I hope I'll find my way around.
Next week Ralph will be turning 32, Mama. Time flies really fast. Imagine our eldest being 32 already! Unfortunately, he's still single, Mama. So, no grandchildren coming anytime soon. We will be celebrating Ralph's birthday, as usual, by eating out.
I guess I have already said a lot. I wish I can write more often to you, Mama. I miss you. Please visit me in my dreams, Mama.
I love you.
Daddy
