MYE DOMAIN

.... previous Uncle Reily was sympathetic. Every detail of Karla's past was known to him except for some issues that she preferred not to unravel and safely kept only to herself. "How can I have the heart to hate him if all memories keep lingering day after day, Uncle? Fresh memories guarded by truth not lies... by trust not doubts... by love not hatred? How could I let it slip away?" Karla was blaming herself for what happened. She told Uncle Reily everything that transpired that evening when she and Jon finally said good bye. She was constrained to recollect the moment she never had expected to happen. Her journal avowed that unforgettable episode in her life. 8 July 2008 Tuesday "It was against my rule to step into his door but the will of my heart directed my feet. My hands were cold... my body was shaking. I felt like I was freezing to death. Only a step away and there I was... meeting face to face the nightmare of my life. I

.... previous Uncle Reily never lost his undeniably perfect timing for serious but implicit approach in dealing with the most inconceivable fate of any person whom he had been acquainted with and those he would eventually meet everyday of his life being ecclesiastic. More so, the agony that Karla was then experiencing. As they enter the restaurant, Karla was reminiscent... The atmosphere somehow took her in a place that made her heart throb... a place where her dreams begun. She could hardly make another step but Uncle Reily held her arms and led her way into the midst of her consciousness. She would certainly face her uncle's advocacy. She would surely open up herself and lay bear the chronicles of her past and how would she confront the truth that will set her free. Mama Gee was being escorted by Manong Caloy as they found that favorite spot of Father Reily. A waiter attended to them and took their orders. Karla was seated beside her uncle. She couldn't hide

Source We usually do our grocery shopping twice a month or once every two weeks. If we run out of laundry soap and shampoo, that's the time when the rest of our supplies will have to be replenished already. Our target destination was South Supermarket along E. Rodriguez Avenue. We made our grocery shopping first before bringing my sister-in-law to their house at Summer Homes where she will be staying after moving out from a boarding house in Manila. She too joined us for grocery shopping to reload some stocks in the house. My husband and I preferred South Supermarket because it has every item in our list unlike other superstores with incomplete or out of stock merchandise. Then it's time to pay. I was quite surprised with the amount registered in the receipt. Nearly 30% had been added to our usual bill. We have some items bought which were not included in our previous list that might caused the amount to be higher but my mind just accepted the reality that

.... previous "How's my dear Dolliedy? Have you received my email yesterday? Uncle Reily asked Karla with much apprehension as if he's not well informed of her niece's current tribulation. He could sense the anxiety wrapping her body and the least he could do was embraced her... put his hand over her shoulder. Karla was soundless... immobile. Uncle Reily made a quick glance to Mama Gee. "Let's have some beach house party in Grilla. I want their grilled specialties with wine pairing." Uncle Reily cheerfully suggested where to dine. "The restaurant is at the corner of Rockwell Drive. I'm sure you will like the beach-inspired setting like Boracay ." "Wherever you want Reily. I am too hungry to think of a place farther from here. That would be fine." Mama Gee replied. next....

My daughter, Lizette who will be a teenager this November and Patricia, my niece who just turned 11 last March tried to commute for the first time. They have to do it on their own and learn the lessons of being independent. Teaching them to be responsible for themselves is part of letting them grow up normally but with our proper guidance, of course. They rode a jeepney going to school but with an escort around... Papa Charlie went with the two young ladies, just taking an eye on them. But, seems like it's a trial only and they are not yet ready for a taste of something new. They will still be on the same school service on Monday. Well. sooner or later... they will learn how to do it. And when the time comes that they have the courage to do it... we may be having some headaches whether we like it or not.

....previous Karla and Mama Gee arrived at the St. Andrew the Apostle Parish with Manong Caloy, their very loyal and devoted driver for fifteen years. He nearly left the Casanova family when Karla's father died. She was only 10 years old at that time and Manong Caloy was just being hired as a family driver by Mr. Rodrigo Casanova who was then a retired general. Because of his selfless dedication and deep concern with the family, Manong Caloy gained the respect and trust of the Casanovas. He never had a family of his own except for a sister living in Bacolod. They went there to fetch Father Reily and invited him for lunch. When Mang Caloy was about to open the back door of the car and helped Mama Gee and Karla out, a tall but slender man suddenly came rushing from the other side of the parking area. He was wearing a white polo shirt neatly tucked into a vintage denim pants with his favorite pair of snickers. He almost tripped down so, he put his eyeglasses on as he drew

.... previous A hard knock on the door somehow roused Karla's staggered mind. Someone has been calling her name and banging her door for almost 15 minutes already, that's why Mama Gee got the duplicate keys and was forced to open her room. "Oh my God! What is wrong with you, Kaye? Oh my dear, please tell mama what's been bothering you?" As Mama Gee approached, she hugged her daughter and fixed Karla's long hair scattered almost covering her face. She couldn't believe that her most beloved child is drowning in misery. She's her only child and it hurts deeply to see her in that dreadful condition. "Okay. You get up! Take a shower and we will go visit your Uncle Reily. He will be so thrilled to see you. It's past 11am already and he's probably resting from his first administered mass. I will not just sit here and watch you cry all day!" "But Mama!" "No more excuses Kaye! Just do as I told you. I
