Part 1   Pathway of My Anxiety

    Julie has been living away from us since her college years. she would call our landline every other day if not daily.
    I was still young enough to deal with the separation.

    Julie was sent to Australia for a special training. She would use me as her alarm clock. I had to call her daily.
    Emil was horrified with our PLDT bills. So I was sent to join Julie. But this did not last I had to be a wife and not only a mother to Julie.

    When Emil was with USAID he had to fly to Naga on weekends every month till it was rainy season.
     I wasn’y fazed with reports of near plane disasters.

     Emil went to Indonesia with Dr Jeanne etc to deliver papers. I had no caregivers then. But I survived.

From the UK with Love

Our only daughter who lives in the UK has been assigned in Manila for 4 years. This means visits complete with pictures and Stories about her cat. Of course this also means Stories about BTS before the group was disbanded.

 In my room I have a collection of RJ stuffed toys of various sizes. I also ha a collection of Hello Kitty stuff. On our dining table which also serves as my working table is a tin can of Hello Kitty for one peso coins. Beside it is a Hello Kitty puse for coins of bigger denominations.

Inmy bedroom I have an RJ cushion which always sleeps along with me. In fact I have 2 RJ cushions so I can send one to the laundry and still have one with me.

  Most of my pillow cases have Hello Kitty design on them. In my computer table I ha BT21  notepads which I gladly gave away recently.

 Ironically I have never been To Korea. I don't eat Korean food either. I have not been to Japan where Hello Kitty lives.
