I will give my officemates a lunch treat. As usual, Baging with throw a candle blowing ritual as a sideshow. My children and I will have a fancy dinner at one of the fine dining restaurants somewhere downtown. We promised to dress up a little, for posterity :) Nica is paying for my full body massage at one of the spas on Saturday.
I am turning 50. I feel a sense of purpose as I wrote that. I am thinking about my parents and I am scared. I need to send them my balikbayan box. Papa will will love the boxing magazines, the thinly sliced almonds, the shavers. Mama will love the canned goods, soap bars, toothpastes, olive oil, the towels and bedsheets. I need to go home soon. I need to do more. Live, love, laugh more!! Things will run in fast-forward pace from now on. I hope I can keep up with me.
