I have been spending my weekends with my boyfriend’s family lately. I like it here. Maybe because I don’t feel alone. I won’t have to be in my solitude, in my little room for 2 days. I have someone to chat with and laugh with even if it would mean I won’t have to get enough sleep on my rest days. There are things you need to sacrifice sometimes, to be happy. LOL!

But then, even if I am with someone else’s family, I still can’t help but think about my folks back in the province. I haven’t been home for months now. I terribly miss my family. I don’t even know how they now look like. I haven’t seen any new pictures of my Mom and brothers in Facebook. The last time I talked to my younger brother over the phone, he told me my Mom had already recovered from being sick and that they’re alright now including my nephew, Brandon who seem to be growing up pretty fast. Except for our older brother who’s on Police training right now. He’s lost a lot of weight. The training must have been so intense. I worry about him sometimes.

I miss spending time with my relatives, especially with Lainy and her familly. Her Mom’s house is always my first stop whenever I come home. I like it when Tita Rose prepare my favorite “kinilaw na isda” (ceviche) and have fun chatting with her while Lainy pops in the kitchen to take a rest from her online chores and join our conversation. And then later on, in the evening, jam with Kuerdas Band on their gigs. Just thinking about that make me feel like going home right now.

I wish I have enough money so I can be with them whenever I want. I haven’t even had my homecoming scheduled this year yet. I’m keeping an eye on the PromoFare by Cebu Pacific. I hope I can get a cheap plane ride back home.

For now, I will have to content myself with the family that I have here in Manila. Thanks to my friends who care enough to not make me feel lonesome and even make me feel like I’m home, somehow.

But still, there’s no place like home, isn’t it?

I’m planning to move to a better apartment. My problem is, I still don’t have the time to search for a new pad yet and I also haven’t found a room mate/ room mates to share the rent with. A better apartment meant more expensive rent. I don’t want to be paying an expensive rent by myself. I’d be broke if I decided to do so.

I wanted a place that I can repaint and make interior designs on. I also wanted to invest on some personal furnitures like a living and a dining set and also buy one of those nice dressing tables for my bedroom. I just wanted a place that I can really call a home, you know.

In my present little pad, I feel like I’m a transient college boarder. I’m not supposed to live like that anymore.

Just like what my Mom kept telling me, I should start investing for my home so that I won’t have to buy all that I need all at once because that will mean I’d be spending a lot of money for that in an instance. She’s right about that!

Hi everyone! My name is Ally. I’m Lainy’s cousin. She might have mentioned me on her blogs in the past. I authored the previous post Happy In Love.

You might be wondering why you’re reading this post right now. Lainy is taking a break. She asked me to take over her blogs for the mean time. Until when? We don’t know yet. But meanwhile, I hope you guys are going to pardon my rubbish.  I promise you, Lainy won’t be on break for too long. She’ll be back with great posts and stories to tell you all. This has been part of her life, anyway, and it’s impossible that she’s going to turn her back from blogging. This has been her baby for years.

So here I am at A Sojourner’s Saga, taking over! I hope you all are gonna stick around!

Happy weekend!!!

One of the many things that my Kido and I have in common is our love for music. We’re both members of our church’s choral group. He loves to sing but let’s just say his voice is suited for a choir. Not for mainstream lead vocals.

He actually wants to improve on the technical side of music. He told me many times that he wanted to invest on completing his sound system so he can profit from it. He will have it rented on events.

Whenever we go to the mall, he always grabs my hand and brings me to the music store where he can check out the gadgets like that of numark mixtrack that he so wanted to acquire. I will always tell him that he’s got a lot of saving to do so he can purchase his dream gadgets. And that if ever we end up together, I might help him out. Of course I just said that to myself! It’s still too early to say, anyway!
