i remembered my experience teaching kids for DVBS at church. there was this british kid assigned to our class, and he was sweet as honey. i was holding a face which was a paper sticked to a, well, to a stick. on one side a happy face is drawn. on the opposite side, a sad face. i held it in front of the kid, showing him the happy side. "Are you happy?" I asked.

The kid, named Joshua, made a frown and looked down. "No," he answered. "I miss my mom and my dad."

that stung me. he probably wants to go home to England and give his parents a hug. i showed him the sad face. "Look how ugly it is," I said. "This is how you look. If you want to stay cute you might as well give me a smile." i said. with a smile, of course.

at last he smiled.

well, i felt the same thing he felt. my dad is in abu dhabi. my mom and two younger sisters left just this morning. im in no mood to do anything. imagine, i left my dorm yesterday EVENING just to spend time with my family again. then after one night they go off to the airport. i found myself fighting the tears. i have too much pride that i cant show how i cry. then this morning we dropped them off. im gonna miss my youngest sister. she's such a sweet little girl. she's so smart. she knew i wasnt gonna spend the last week with her, i have to go to laguna and study. heck, i needed to study! anyway, i knew she felt that she's not gonna see me for a very long time. the last night she laid down beside to with her favorite doll. she wanted to sleep beside me. she wouldnt get off my bed. that was a very special thing to do.

i miss them. now im thinking if im gonna go back to laguna tomorrow or on monday. we're the centennial freshmen! *clapclap*! im makin history again. haha.. i have to do my homework, do some research, and i have to be a good girl. eew.. kidding. hehe..

i like my classmates and blockmates (we're BACA Blk B3). theyre all very nice, and they make me enjoy college. thanks to them. :]

thats it for now. :] God bless you all!
