Their house is just beside the beach as surrounded by coconut trees. The air was very fresh, unlike living in the middle of the city. In the picture is my little sister @unicorn123 carrying my baby. My baby (Pointy) seemed to love the new environment. It was new for her, to be under the coconut trees and along the beach. She didn’t like to be carried because she wanted to walk but I didn’t allow my little sister to put her down as there was a puppy below. Even if it is friendly, I’m still scared if it’ll bite her and it has a rabies. I used to be injected with anti rabies at the government hospital and I went back there four times. There are two injections to be injected such as the anti-tetanus and anti-rabies. So, my baby wanted to play with the puppy but of course, rabies is scary especially at her age.
Sazumi, my aunt’s grandson enjoyed the chocolate present and also the biscuit. In Mindanao, it is our culture to expect biscuit presents in huge boxes from someone who travelled from Manila. Sazumi loved his biscuits in a huge plastic he took from the huge box. He also ate a lot of chocolates, but we didn’t knew it is not allowed for a child with an autism because it causes more hyperactivity. My aunt taught her the right attitude when you have a lot of foods. She told him to share it with his cousins, but he ignored it. It’s understandable because of his condition. He cannot speak, emotionless, hyper, no eye contacts, has his own world but he understands when you talk to him and instruct something. When her mother was alive, she brought Sazumi in our house when they fought with Sazumi’s father because she was very stressed. Her husband has many vices. He wouldn’t give all his income to her but spent it on other women, on cockfighting, gambling and on drugs. He went to their home always drunk and battered his wife, the mom of Sazumi. Sazumi’s mom is my cousin. She always asked help to buy diapers and milk for Sazumi as she didn’t have money. ‘Till one time, when the pandemic hit the entire world and the Taal Volcano in Batangas erupted, she couldn’t handle her depression. She lived in Batangas, so they were also affected of the catastrophe. She chatted her mom, begged to take care of her children when she’s gone, but her mother didn’t read the message because she was busy at work. One day had passed, she died. She was found hanging at the comfort room.
When we saw the situation of Sazumi, we left while they talked because we couldn’t contain to see them ( my mom and aunt) so emotional (not including Sazumi). Because, imagine, my aunt and him didn’t meet for 4 years after the tragedy! I almost cried too, but I didn’t want my baby to see my tears. Sazumi’s mother was very dear in our family. When she was younger, she used to be our eldest sister. My parents love her a lot, ‘till time came that she left us there in the mountain to finish her highschool in Leyte; until we heard her married to an old man in Cotabato. After 12 years, he left her husband in Cotabato as he was an irresponsible father who can’t raise his family. She worked abroad until they were separated finally. When she went back in the Philippines, she met Sazumi’s father at the bar, had a relationship and babies. But, she ended her life while her kids we’re still babies. According to her mom, she didn’t have a luck with men. When I heard that, I said to myself that we women should never trust a suitor that easy. Knowing them first even if it takes time is wise.
So, we spent our time (with the kids) at the shore while they were hugging each other at Sazumi’s house. When the car was running while we were on our way to Carmen, my anxiety was hitting again. I don’t like to be quite if the car runs because overthinking comes along the way and it’s hard to control it. When the car runs and I’m in a silence mood, the traumatic scene of the movie Sky High came to my memory that made me feel so scared. I didn’t tell it to them but I tried to calm down. I was glad that while I began to chitchat, it went away. Talking a lot when anxiety is triggered is the most effective way to shut the nervousness down. And, when I looked at the sea, the water was as calm as my mood after overcoming the trigger. My niece liked to swim, but her mother didn’t bring an extra clothes. I also didn’t like the water because the flowing of the canals from the sinks of the houses flow there. People throw their garbages at the shore that is too eyesore that I didn’t include in the picture because it really looks ugly. Seems like the residents don’t value the importance of nature and the cleanliness of their surroundings.
When we went back to Sazumi’s house, they served us two lechon manok (roasted chicken), rice and cokes. I was happy because I was very hungry. The lechon manok was juicy with a lot of seasoning that we can feel. For short, it was so yummy. It almost cost 7$ these days. Seven years ago, it only costs 3$. The price nowadays is shocking. In the picture by the way is Sazumi who loved his icecream. Her cousin gave him a cellphone so he would just behave while we eat. He focused on the screen much, but when he was done eating the ice cream, he just put the plastic cap beside the table and took the electric fan. His grandpa stopped him taking the fan, but he was pretty aggressive that ignored his grandpa. My aunt was just laughing because Sazumi didn’t like to share their fan.
Anyway, I must stop here. How about you, what did you do today?
