Two days ago, my daughter told me she's moving out on Monday but due to her time shift which was changed from 9am until 12 mn effective tomorrow, she decided to move out today.

I logged out at past 2 o'clock this afternoon in the middle of posting OP in Unification Wars and apologized with Randy for leaving him alone posting OP for our fed mates.

I accompanied my daughter to her new found place. Her new place is somewhat ideal for starters and it has a big swimming pool. After dropping off her stuffs, we went to Pancit Malabon in Cubao and had lunch. Then, we went to Makro, she bought a 4 ft. mini ref and some kitchen stuffs she could use in the next few days. While watching her choosing what she likes, in my heart, I still couldn't believe that my youngest child wants to be independent and live apart from me. Well, after she gets that job in the Call Center in Ortigas, she suddenly developed this kind of guts that everything she touches will turn to gold. Anyway, my greatest fear is to see my children leaving me but, my daughter told me to give her a chance to expand her horizons.

After shopping at Makro, I suggested to leave the grocery shopping the next day as my heels were aching. They dropped me home and she picked up some of her stuffs, including some cookwares. I still do not understand why she wants to live a separate life from us but I will surely miss her. I love my kids but, they couldn't live with me forever. They need space and a life of their own...

Anyway, when my sweety left, I called Ana, the wife of Egay, and we talked about the PC they're selling. After few minutes, she came over to pick up her sons and I gave JM the payment. Randy will be using this PC when we play Unification Wars game.

When Randy came back online this evening, he posted OP for me while I reset my DP. We're so upset after posting OP for everybody, there's no one to post OP for us. These situations happened almost everyday and we're growing tired of being used to take good care of other empires. After I was back in DP, Randy has to come out of DP to take good care of some empires that had been turned down by a fellow fed mate. Then, we recited the rosary before going to bed.

The atmosphere in our place will be different without my daugther around. She takes good care of me and often does things for me. Now that she's into another stage of her life, I am wishing her good luck, prosperity, and God's blessings....

Bayantel technician came early this morning and installed our new telephone line. They had difficulty with the wiring but after an hour of dedication, they hooked up a new telephone line for us.

While the Bayantel men are working, my kids embarassed me not only to those people but to all the neighbors who reside in the building. They had heated argument over the house keys of Junjun and Denise which accidentally were thrown to the garage of our neighbor. Pearl arrived at past 2 am and needed a key to open the gate. Both Junjun and Tintin were playing a local network game, they hurriedly throw the key from the balcony but they miscalculated it and it landed in our neighbor's garage downstairs.

Because of misunderstandings between my kids, only Paul Denise joined me to hear the 5 PM mass at Lady of Hope Parish. Rev. Fr. Jun Pascual said the mass and assisted by a deacon, Rev. Fr. Bong Turingan. It's the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. The First Reading was Is 62:1-5 and the Second Reading was 1 Cor 12:4-11. The Gospel was Jn 2:1-11. Rev. Fr. reminded us about the importance of family and marriage in God's eyes.

After the mass, Denise and I did some grocery shopping at SM - North EDSA. Pearl followed us later and helped us with the shopping. When I was almost done with the shopping, Ate Neth met us inside the grocery section and handed me Flora's Christmas gift. A Victoria's Secret cream and an umbrella with her recruitment agency logo. Flora worked for my EX as Liaison Officer in Saudi Embassy for several years. Whatever made her remember me, I didn't call her even Ate Neth gave me her cellphone number.

The annulment case is on-going and I didn't liked to have any connections with the EX and his employees. Calling her would reveal my contact details and being quiet about the gift is better than losing my privacy.

Now that we have a new phone line, it only proves one thing, I must forget about the past contacts and must move on. I thanked God I have Randy...

Junjun's vacation is over and yet, I didn't liked him to go back to work in Saudi Arabia.

To make him busy, he enrolled today in STI taking up a 2 yr course in Computer & Electronics Technician. I wish I could choose a better course for him but he's so much interested in computer stuffs.

Paul Denise didn't come home last night since he left in the afternoon to follow up his remedial class in Physics.

When he showed me yesterday a note from STI College about his fair and incomplete grades, I exploded with anger.

Three years ago, he told me he wanted to continue his studies and would take it seriously. When I sold our house in April 2004, I sent him and Pearl to college. Pearl did well with the TESDA Automotive course she had chosen and Paul Denise, although intelligent in class, missed going to school due to addiction to online games! I advised him to take afternoon class but he insisted to get morning class because all his close friends were in the morning class, too.

Almost every night, I had to tell him to go to bed and in the morning, I had to wake him up and reminded him to go to school. My son will be 25 on May 3rd and yet, I feel he doesn't have any ambtition in life, except being my son!

I feel so lost and a failure as a mother when it comes to him..

Maybe I was spending too much time on the net this is why my children had serious sentiments that were not given attention to. Thanks to BlogShares transaction fees, I can have my time off the net and dedicate more time on household matters.

Due to last night's fist fight, we have cold war here that may last for a week or so...

We had a fine dinner this evening. My kids liked the tenderloin tips I cooked. When Paul Denise was done with his meal, he watched TV while talking with someone on the phone. Both Pearl and I were busy discussing something when my son scolded us to lower our voices which surprised us.

Then I stood up and instructed my daughter to clean up the table when she's done. I went to my room to pray the Angelus but I couldn't hear my prayers. The kids were noisy and yelling at each other. Right after I went out of my room, they were fighting with each other. I tried to break them apart but both didn't stopped attacking each other until I got a chance and pushed Denise inside my room and hurriedly locked the door. He was so furious. I saw his nose was bleeding.

After an hour of insults and accussations of being unfair to them, Paul Denise would like to go out to the living room and watch TV. I let him promised me that he will behave and will not attack his sister anymore. Couple of hours, he got bored and went inside my room again and fall asleep.

It's my chance to talk with my daughter. I saw her holding a small piece of ice on her face, she got a blackeye. I didn't say a word until she's ready to go to bed. I demanded that she must ignore her big brother in the morning and pretend he's not there especially when he tease her and challenge her for another fist fight. For the first time, I kept all knives hidden somewhere in the kitchen.

The source of Paul Denise's anger was not really because of our noisy conversation but, because he's jealous and someone pushed him to believe that my daughter and I were maltreating him. Now that they are both sleeping, I couldn't help but ask myself, where did I go wrong? They never listen to me anymore... :-(
