A Click Away

I was sitting on the chair and just looking every corner of the house.  I decided to rearrange it again since no one can disturb me because the kids are sleeping as well as my father.  I started moving the chairs, center table, sound system, television and all the things I put in the living room.  I like arranging things when no one is around because no one will bothers me what I am doing.  Especially my father who always disturbing me by asking what I am doing and why I always change the position and the look of the living room.  I just laugh at him and not paying attention to him.

Before lunch I am done arranging the living room and I am happy to see the new look of the living room.  I was relaxing when the father woke up from sleeping and said, “wala ka’y mahimo noh?”.  It is our dialect which means, you are bored I guess.  I just look at him because I am used to it every time I rearrange the living room.  I am glad he is not mad like the last time I did it.  Instead he said, it looks better than before.  Makes me think that he also is bored with the old arrangement of the living room.  I am glad they like the new look and smiled at me.  For the first time, the family appreciate what I did to the living room.

One day I visited a friend’s house.  I saw her daughter playing different games in the computer.  The games are educational and it is helpful for the kids who are just started learning.  I thought of downloading it to my computer so that the nieces can play and learn.  After downloaded the site in my computer, I showed to the nieces the games and on what to do to be able to get in the site and play.  My intention was good because I want them to learn more.  I love watching them playing because I can tell that they are thinking and making analysis on what to do next.  Apparently, there is bad thing about it because when they are playing, they are not listening to what I say.  Which makes me mad and thought of deleting the site in my computer.  I told them that if they wont listen, I will delete it in my computer but they did not listen.  I want to show them that I am serious,so I deleted it in my computer.

I was cleaning the house when I saw a paper that is fold.  I am curious, so I open it and read what is written on the paper.  I was surprised to see that the letter is for me and it was from my niece.  In the letter, it says there that she is angry of me because I deleted the site and she is hurt that I do not want them to play.  The letter made me smile and regret that I deleted it.  But doing it is the best thing to show to them that I mean what I say.  I hope that the niece understand what I did and realized why I deleted it.

I started doing cross stitching as a project at school.  Since then I am hooked up and it has become my hobby.  I have collections of different patterns to stitch but did not able to do it all.  Out of the ten that I have collected years back, I have only done five of it.  I do not have time then because I am a bit busy at school.  I cannot do both studying and stitching at the same time because time is very hectic.  Doing it is quiet expensive for a student like me.  And also, cross stitching takes lots of time to make a single pattern.  So, I decided to put cross stitching stuffs in a box and do it when I have lots of time.

Today, while cleaning the house I saw the framed cross stitch pattern.  Suddenly, I miss doing it.  I check the box where I put the needles, threads and patterns that I keep for years.  It is still there and waiting for me to have time to do it again.  I do not have time still because I have other things to do online.  It is so sad that I was not able to make the five remaining patterns that I have collected.  I hope that one day I will have the time to do it and have it frame to hand it on the wall of our house.  Seeing the framed ones makes me smile because at reminds me of my high school and college days.  I remember when that I used to bring it at school and do the cross stitching during my free time.  Soon  I will do cross stitching again and add it to my collections.

I started teaching Ronna in doing the dishes at the age of eight years old.  I want her to become a responsible person when he grows up.  Every time I teach her, Ella always watching and sometimes asked me if she can help.  I am not allowing her because she is younger than Ronna.  I told her that I will teach her when she reach the age of eight.  While Ronna is doing the dishes,   I asked Ella to sweep the floor so that she won’t bother Ronna.  She is a very helpful girl compared to Ronna but I cannot allow her to help because Ronna gets mad when Ella is around.  Though they are friends, sometimes they fight when Ella is messing with her.

January 7, 2012 is the birthday of Ella and she turns seven.  I was preparing the salad when she come near to me and whispered “isa nalang kulang”, which means one more year she will turn eight.   I am surprised because she remembers what I told her.  She is indeed a good girl to remember it and reminded me.  She is not only happy that it is her birthday but also happy that she is seven and one more year she will do the dishes.  I am happy with my nieces and I pray that they will be a better person when they grow up.
