nothing beats a good cam-to-cam conversation with papa. happy that my good old folks has finally binded with technology. armed with no knowledge whatsoever on how to use a simple computer, they slowly studied how to be onliners. yahoo messenger was even out of the context. no idea on how to download, no idea on how to log in so they settled for a much easier recourse --- facebook. yes they are both facebookers on their 50s.
i got a little surprise today. i'm off from work and was planning to go to the hospital for a checkup. but papa said he finally got skype! (kudos to mark for helping papa.) woot woot! they're finally skypers! yahooo! so i ditched off my checkup and stayed home. no regrets. i got to see my papa on cam after 15 long months, it's just damn priceless! i'm glad he gained a little weight compared to the photos they had months ago.. plus i got to see their place. it was indeed small. i was laughing while papa was telling me about how they got all the things they have on that apartment. but i felt sad when i saw the couch they sleep in. yes they officially don't have a bed. they had to get rid of it coz if they don't they'll be homeless in five days. that's a crap! "leche ning mga kutinga ni!" i said to myself. hope they can get a better bed soon. gosh! when papa told me a brand new bed costs more or less $1000, i almost fainted! that's too much man! but they're planning to get an air bed instead, it's much cheaper. hope they'll get to sleep comfortably soon.
i hope to see mama on our next skype session. she's still at work so i haven't seen her earlier. i'm also planning to get my ass over my granny's place on sunday to paint smiles on their faces. i'm sure seeing everybody here in the Philippines with make them feel at home again. missin' them so much. talk to you later mama and papa!
Thank you SKYPE! mwah!
P.S. i was about to take a souvenir picture but i was a bit late cos papa already clicked end call button. lol (gipatulog sa nako kay magwork pa xa night shift)
