Our Sweet Princess is Leaving for Singapore

I'll gonna miss my niece AJ. She (with her father) will be going to Singapore to join her mother who is working as a nurse there for almost five years now. I feel really sad as we bid farewell yesterday after watching the movie "The Forbidden Kingdom" with Mama and Dina. I came straight to their house (which will be ours from now on) from my work at around 8:00 am so I can spend my restday with her. I would really miss the gimiks we have with their family as my sister wants AJ to just continue to her studies in Singapore. Although I was'nt able to visit her often before because of my work shedule - I know life without our sweet princess would never be the same again. I spent the whole day bonding with her, laughing with her knowing that I might never be able to experience this "I'll gonna teach you how to draw" kind'a stuff because I'm sure when she comes back - she already know how to draw and will not be interested anymore with this kiddie form of art. I really wish at that time that I could freeze the time so I could spend more time with her - but I cant. After watching the movie, it's time to go home and say my final farewell to my sweet niece - who has been our angel and the center of our happiness for the past 9 years. I would really gonna miss her.

I remember that earlier that day, she saw me writing something in my organizer and she started asking things about what I am writing and started to check on my organizer. She also showed me her diary and her planner while saying "tita mimi meron din akong ganyan..."... as if she wants to show me her stuff as well while she reads some of my entries on my organizer. I told her to ask her father to buy her one at National Bookstore if she wants that kind of planner. I never thought she remembered what I said and when his daddy arrived from worked that day - I heard him
say..."daddy, bayaran mo na ako sa utang mo kasi me bibilhin ako - organizer"... my heart almost melt when his daddy said "tsaka na, baon natin to sa SIngapore.." Frustrated, AJ just sat down and watched television as if trying to forget about the organizer thing... kaya after watching the movie I gave her money to buy for one. That's a very small thing to make her happy compared to the joy she put in our lives.

Though I am sad that she will be leaving... its OK. I'm sure Ate would be really happy having her family around so I hope that everything will turn out to be fine. I know this is the best thing to do and I believe that everything works for good for all those people who believes Him. Amen.
