I love my life!
| barkada, family, friends, happyLife takes _very_ good care of me. Also, my mom is psychic. =) This
weekend has been a bit mixed, but the weird thing about it is that
instead of feeling terrible, I feel so _loved._
I checked my mailbox last Friday and saw a note telling me to pick up
a package during office hours. It was past 5 already, so I didn't get
to pick it up until today. Perfect, perfect timing. =) My mom sent me
a wonderful little heart pillow signed by my friends at the Skype
party they held a few weeks ago. She also included a smiley sign,
similarly dedicated. And just because my mom's the kind of
ultrathoughtful mom who anticipates everything, she also sent me a set
of contacts. =)
It was the perfect pick-me-up, and I feel very, very, very much loved.
On one side of the heart:
