A Click Away

After the house loan applied by the father granted, we are very happy because at last we will have our own house.   But the problem is that the house is so small.  Though we used to have a small house before, the situation is different because we all grown up.  The house has only one bedroom that would be occupied by my sister and I.  The father is thinking of putting up another room but the house is too small.  Then he decided to extend for us to construct another bedroom for him and the younger brother.  And the two older brother will sleep in the living room with folding bed.

As the family is getting bigger because the brother and his family lives with us.  The house becomes a bit crowded that makes the father decides to make another bedroom for himself.  The bedroom where I used to share with my sister will be occupied by me and my two nieces since the sister moves out of the house when she got married.  The bedroom where the father occupied before will be given to the brother and his wife and the new proposed new bedroom will be occupied by father.  He already contacted the same carpenter who did the renovation of the house and we are waiting for him to come and give the materials that we have to buy for the construction of the new building.  As an interior decorator of the house, I am thinking of the new arrangement of the living room when the new bedroom will be constructed.  I am excited because I so much love rearranging the house a lot.  

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.
