it was mom's birthday yesterday, and because I only have 20 pesos left (yes, I'm so br0ke and I have no job) I just gave her a pink bell flower that I have picked outside our doorway and greeted her "happy birthday my" with a kiss. I helped her clean the table after dinner (niuli na ang maid kay until 6pm ra xa) and swept the floor... it's the only thing I could offer her for her special day. tsk...tsk...poor poor me...

happy birthday my! love u! Y

and at the end of this journey, my wonderful story begins...
