Dear Sky,

Today, we had our swab test. It was funny when you were scared that you made me do it first before you did. That actually helped me forget about my fear and anxiety. 

They say that the results can be released any time today until Tuesday. They will call or text us if we test positive. I'm hoping none of us test positive. I'm also praying hard that Mommy tests negative soon and nothing untoward happens. 

During times like this, it is good to have someone to talk to. Someone you can trust. Someone who understands you. And someone who does check up on you every now and then. I'm lucky to have a number of people like that in my life though I am definitely disappointed that the one that I thought would be concerned about me does not seem to care at all. Or maybe that's just his way of handling things as he has his own worries to take care of. But that's that. I'm making excuses for him again when I shouldn't. 

As you grow older, I do hope that you know which people to trust and not to expect too much from people. You may be surprised as to who is there for you, as compared to those who you thought would really be there. Don't take it personally. Some just aren't made for that. Just let that go and simply appreciate those who are there for you. 

xoxo

Dear Sky, If there's someone who's trying to bring you down, be proud. Because it means that you're above them. They think you're better than them. You cannot put a good person down. Only the foolish will believe them. And you don't need foolish people in your life.  I've had my fair share of people calling me different things and telling other people lies. I've had my fair share of people I've trusted and them telling other people some things that I told them in secrecy. I don't want these to happen to you but I know that it will. I just pray that if you do encounter something like this, there is no need to prove anything to them. Just be yourself and do what you do. You're unique in your own way and you're you. They're irrelevant in your life and trusting people like that even more is not going to help you. Cut ties, burn bridges if you must.  It will hurt. It will definitely hurt. But it will make you stronger, and wiser. Their words w...

Dear Sky, For the past few days, I've been really hot-headed and my temper would just flare up at the slightest inconveniences that I get. But it's definitely not about you or anything else. This only happens when I do not get the services or products that I'm supposed to be getting.  Some people may say that I am feeling entitled because of what I'm doing. But I say that it's not about feeling entitled. It's about asking these businesses/companies to give me what I should be getting. It's not absurd to ask for faster service when the service is too slow. It's not about not being able to understand other people when you've done your part and it's time for them to do theirs.  A good example would be the two instances where I felt my temper really go up this week.  The first case was with Globe Telecom. I have been a subscriber for three years now of their Globe At Home plan. I lost my connection on a Thursday and reported it immediately. I reporte...

Dear Sky, One of the things that I think you should understand about people is that there are people who would be more than willing to learn and hear about what happened to you each day, and then there are people who would not in any way be interested in what happened to you. And sometimes, the person that you want to tell your stories to are the ones who are not interested.  Do not take offense in this. People are different and your energy may not be the same as theirs. Let that go. You cannot do anything about it.  Honestly, I still have a hard time reconciling this in my own life but I am dang trying my best to make it happen. I don't want to be disappointed anymore and I don't want to get hurt anymore because I expected too much from certain people. Right now, all I'm trying to do is just make it through each day and do as much as I can. There's no constant person to really share my stories with so I share them with different people each day - to those who may liste...

Dear Sky,  I had plans to ask your Ninong to drive us around and take us to the beach. But with the new restrictions and the rise of COVID-19 cases in our city, I don't think that's the best thing to do. I also have plans to go out and go biking with you. But I don't think that's a good idea right now.  I do pity you though because you are here, stuck at home. It's a good thing though that you have your PC and good internet to see you through. If this happened during the time I was your age, I don't know what I would be doing. Probably just re-reading all the books that I have that time. There was no internet yet and nothing else to do.  But I do hope and pray that things would get better soon. That way, we can go out. You can meet up with your friends and get to socialize with people. I wasn't good at socializing really. I was misunderstood by some. But that's okay. I learned a lot. I realized that I can live on my own. And the friends who stick by me a...

Dear Sky,  I am worried.  You told me earlier today that you were having some body aches which you described to be like the kind that comes with the flu. I tried to check your temperature but you did not have a fever.  Later today, you told me that you have a headache.  These went away when you took some Bioflu which I gave you.  Then tonight, you said that you had diarrhea. But you said that you only went to the bathroom once. I'm presuming that you just had some loose stool, but not necessarily diarrhea.  I just hope that you're fine. I hope that you don't have COVID or anything like that. I'm praying that come the morning, you'll be alright.  xoxo
