MOVE
Yep, we were supposed to move in to our new place June 10-13 to give way for proper rest and ample time with the move. However, for some unknown force, which I think you call excitement, we decided to move last weekend. Dad was free that time so we scheduled the move starting Sunday morning.

I was moved.
Last Saturday, it was also a big move for our team since we had our first team bonding with the new comers (*grins) and ate at Gerry’s Grill at MOA and had bowling after that. It was an afternoon filled with fun, laughter and food! Colleague said: “ ‘Di pala magandang kombinasyon ang tawa at busog,”(Full and laughter is not a good combination ), since we were literally laughing our heart out from lunch time to the bowling game. We really had fun and it was nice everyone was happy. After that, I hurriedly went home, while husband and I slept together (since he still has shift that night) and I woke up around 3am, ate breakfast and start packing my things.
I called up dad that morning confirming what time will they arrive. We then took a rest for a while, ate breakfast while watching Naruto Shippuden’s latest episode. Kojie took a catnap since he’s been lacking sleep lately while I arranged some of my stuff and watched the earliest episodes of Naruto Shippuden. We were surprised when we got knocks on the door, we thought it was the landlady; it was one of dad’s helpers. We started packing up and preparing the first batch of the move: Clothes, shoes, our kids dumped in a big toy kingdom plastic bag, bags. We then unloaded first everything and left to megamall to eat lunch and buy some additional home and bathroom needs and to pick up the bed mattress.
I was moved.

I’m not close to my parents, and my family, but that day was quite happy. I’m that guy with spontaneity and humor combined and it quite showed up last weekend, which made my mum and dad laugh more than the usual. There are times when I’ll joke with my mom, holding her hand, “Oh, bawal magturo ha, hawak sa kamay ko baka mawala,” talking to her like a kid, dad gave a couple of laughs.

I was moved.

We dropped by the place, dropped off the mattress and went back to Makati city to transfer everything what’s left. Kojie’s big TV, cabinet and the rest of my “trash.”I was able to catch some catnap on our way back, I was groggy because I took Sinutab which really made me really sleepy. It was around 4pm and bought them snacks, half worried since hubby was still there. I told him to prepare and go so that he still have some time to rest, he then left and they made some measuring since dad will come back to add cabinets,etc. After a while, they left and went back home, while I was left with all the things, still in their plastics, boxes and bags. I took a quick shower and went to Sheenah’s Baby Shower. It was nice to catch up with them, and listening to a pregnant woman tell her stories really made me smile and “at peace.” We were joking like before and were happy that her husband got a new job. I was really thankful that after all the blessings God gave me, He’s now blessing the people I love; my friends.

I was moved.

Monday, it wasn’t the start of the week for me, yet. My week starts at night so we finished unpacking our things, cleaned the place and went off to buy some additional things needed at home. However, we didn’t expect it’ll take that long so we weren’t able to buy the things and just went back. I was so sleepy and asked him to wake me up. He still lack sleep, and since he doesn’t have work tonight, I asked him to wake me up. He woke me up, but I went back to sleep again, and woke up quite late. Good thing I wasn’t late. I still had time to eat “breakfast,” and prepare for my work. It was rather a tiring, but memorable, not to mention exciting weekend for us… oh, not to mentioned I was moved.
