Later in the afternoon, as I arrived from school my other Tito called from Davao. He gave some money for us to eat outside. So they decided to eat at jollibee. It's my grandma's first time celebrating her birthday in jollibee. She's very excited and my tita made her wear a red dress. Also his brother wore a red shirt. They both look happy and have a great time. My niece and cousins make the venue so loud they have been screaming and crying while waiting for the food to arrive.
Since the food is not yet served we decided to take some pictures for memories. We also sing to her happy birthday. The food is quite late, about 45 minutes of waiting. Since we are 32 people, that's why they prepared it for a long time. And also if you want to celebrate your birthdays you can celebrate here at jollibee Naga south bound. It's a 2 story building and the second floor can be a private birthday party. They provide privacy in that area or shall we say exclusive.
Then the food is already served. And my cousin distributed the food for everyone. We pray and also we sing a happy birthday song to the birthday celebrant. She seems so happy that time, she always smiles. After everyone is eating we clean the plates that we used and arrange it properly. We always practice clay go. Every time we eat outside. That is also showcasing being responsible and practicing the proper etiquette. Afterwards we decided to go home and rest until the day went long.
My Lola is getting old already. She's 77 years old. Quite a long time living here.
But I'm thankful that she is healthy. She even lived on her own. My father and Tito built a tiny house for her or what we called “payag”. My Tito and My brother give her some money every month for her to spend, like buying her basic necessities and whatever she likes. She just likes it on her own because she wants freedom I guess. She has lived here almost 3 months in our house but she doesn't seem to like it. So she leaves and lives on her own. That's what she likes to do so we just support her.
Every time she is not busy or done doing her chores then she will visit us. Especially her brother. And also come to our house to visit and talk about things. Sometimes she just talks to my mom. I had a deep regret about grandma. I might say I hate her since my mom talks about how my grandma cheated on my grandpa. It hurts you know. I love them both and I deeply love my lolo. He was there when we were growing up while my grandpa stayed with some guy. I don't know what happened to that time since I was just a child but there are some questions running through my mind at that time.
I just recently found out that she is cheating. That's why I hate her. But deep down I still care. I just question what she did that my lolo is so kind and honest he doesn't deserve to be treated like that. But that's like we often make mistakes but I think the saddest part would be my lolo dies and they don't even have a proper closure. I may say that my grandma doesn't even say sorry to my grandpa. From what she did to him, for a long time that they have each other my grandma used to cheat on him.
And that's sad. I don't understand why people do that even to their loved ones.For a long time separation grandpa stayed with us he was the one who took care of us. Until the day he died. He died in my father's arms . It was the saddest part for me. I know that he is in good hands now. But for sure for me grandpa forgave her. I know he forgave her because you can see through his eyes that he still loves her regardless of what she did to him.
All I can say is that we should cherish every moment we spend with our family. We might regret it. There are some things and circumstances that we can't control. If we have the time left we should use it properly and nicely. We should show love and respect to people who deserve it. For us to have a clear heart and mind with no regrets.
Once again this is Khesia, have a nice day ahead! Thank you for reading. God bless!
