Dear Mama,
Yesterday, our children and I went out. I went straight to SM Clark after work because I had to get a haircut, then I waited for them. Edgar arrived first, Mama. He also came from his work. Ralph and Angel came after a while. We had dinner at Din Tai Fung courtesy of Ralph, of course. He wanted us to experience it, Mama. It was quite expensive, though. After dinner we went to Starbucks for coffee, where we also stayed and waited for Ralph's time to clock in for work which was 9:00 p.m. Their office is just at SM Clark, Mama. Then, the three of us - Angel, Edgar, and I, went straight home while Ralph proceeded to his office.
Tomorrow, we will be celebrating Nanay's 96th birthday, Mama. Although her birthday is actually on Monday, we had to schedule it on a Sunday so we can invite our cousins from Nanay and Tatay's side. Although, there will still be another celebration dinner on her birthday on Monday in Sta. Teresita, Mama.
I'm still having anxiety in our neighborhood, Mama. Although the new management of the grill house beside has done everything to be not too loud. They have done some sort of sound engineering, not actually soundproofing because I can still hear them sometimes. At least not as loud and disturbing as the one before the pandemic. But I am still getting anxious at night, especially when there's a car parking in the front of our house. I'm trying my best to manage it, Mama. I needed to adapt, I know. I cannot always have things my way. But I wish it wasn't the case.
Edgar will be riding his motorcycle to work starting on Monday, Mama. He already got a copy of his OR/CR. He is out right now to get his temporary plate number he will use while waiting for his actual plate. He just arrived right now, as I am typing this. Guide him on the road, Mama. Help me pray for his safety.
I am listening to my song right now in Spotify, Mama. I had to add it to a playlist, though, and play other songs. So I won't appear to be self-patronizing or something like that. At least it will still look like a legitimate streaming.
I guess that will be all for now, Mama. I have said too much today. I hope I did not annoy you.
I miss you, Mama.
I love you,
Daddy
