So my mama left yesterday after a very brief vacay in Manila. I am still trying to get over my sadness of her leaving. I guess being so far away from them will always remind me from time to time how much I miss them and miss out on so many things. 
The last three weeks made me regress to my younger self, being cooked for and taken care of. 
I miss those times and its not even 48 hours since my mom left--- and I miss her even more.

I love you, Mama. I hope you had a great vacay. Counting the days until I can be with you again. 
See you soon, Lola

Hi.

Hello much forsaken blog... I'm still here.

Whew, where do I even start? The last 4 months had been very hectic yet rewarding.

First off, we finally and completely potty-trained Hunter barely a month after he turned three. It was a very trying first two weeks. The triumphant smiles and screams and way-to-gos in the end made all the experience very special. Amidst "accidents" and exasperations, I wouldn't miss any of that in the world.



We joined two consignment stores, two online shops and opened a store in Lazada very recently. I will also be opening a small community store. I know that I had been talking about taking it slow though there are still some big decisions to be made I generally like the direction I'm going. We'll see where it goes.

My parents are back in the Philippines for some well-deserved vacay. It will only be for a short while.  Days before my mom leaves and I'm having minor panic attacks, bursting into tears just thinking she will be in a completely opposite timezone again.



Honestly, I've been making myself extra busy to take my mind off from that. 
I am honestly feeling the itch again to fly back to Chicago and be with family but with all the things going on and preparing Hunter for the big school (gasp), I just don't know how the next few months will be for me.

*Sigh. My first post after a long time and I sound a bit nega. It's the whirlwind of activities and emotions that are getting into me.
More things to blog about, I guess. Hashtag: Welcome back. =)
