Story of a Balikbayan’s Daughter Part 1

November 30, 2007

  It's been a month since my mom arrived here in the Philippines and it's been more than a week since she went back again to England for her work.

I guess that is the typical life of an OFWs daughter. You'd be waiting outside the NAIA for her arrival then after a week or two, you'd be bringing your parents to the departure part and bid another tearful goodbye.

As I was waiting at the airport for her arrival, I observed the other balikbayans hugging their hubbies and children tightly. "Mama! Miss na kita!" one five-year old kid told to her mom. It just made me feel lucky that I was at the right age already when my mother finally decided to try her luck abroad.

After three long hours of waiting, I finally saw my mom who looked like a Singaporean Girl (some of the other passengers thought she was singaporean and was shocked when she spoke in Filipino hehe) pushing her cart with two luggage.

I shouted like a little girl as well and raised my hand. She saw me there as I wave like a little girl and went straight to my grandfather to tell him that my mom is already waiting in the arrival area.

It seems like she looked more gorgeous than ever! She's so sexy and who would be believe that this woman has a twenty-year-old graduating daughter and a super handsome 12 year old son?
