urban legends and my mom's better mood

i don't know what hit the pretty QA people (kasama ko dun ah!) today. we had an extreme chika day! the tales ranged from exorcists to worms to dwendes to kapres to paglilihi and all sorts of creatures and stories that'll give you goosebumps. maybe because halloween is coming and the tv networks air nothing but scare-you-to-hell-movies. ok season na naman ito ng i'm-alone-late-at-night-watching-tv-then-a-scary-scene-is-shown-and-i-run-with-all-my-might-to-my-bedroom-kse-natakot-ako! susme... napakatapang ko talaga!

oh, my mom's in a better mood today! a few weeks ago, her office in NAIA closed and they had to transfer to the fort in makati. she was a bit down because she had to give up the comfort of working nearby (tricycle ride away, like my office =)). plus she had to say goodbye to the people she worked with for quite some time now. she had been pretty quiet and not her usual kulit self, but i noticed a better transition lately. funny pa nga last night, while making kulit kulit and munching a large block of chocolates, she had her jaw locked. susme, di magkaintindihan pag massage and pag rere-align ng jaw nya... she was pretty scared haha! and kanina, while preparing dinner, may pasayaw-sayaw pang nalalaman! kuya and i just rolled our eyes and told her, "o kulit kulit ka mamya, mag lock na naman jaw mo!" haha!

i asked her if she still feels sad about this sudden change. she answered with a nice grin, "i'm feeling better!"... yeah, that's the spirit, ma! =)
