Four months.

Four months since I started a new life, four months since I started living alone. Everyone thought it wasn't going to happen. And then just two weeks before I get to see my relatives again and huddle around the ps3 for a good round of Call of Duty or Blazblue, I just lost it.

and cried, cried my heart out.

It was something I clearly didn't expect. For around five hours after an confession with the preist, it seems like anything that could remind of anything back home, be it a dog that reminds me of my beloved beagle, or a driver that reminds me of Kuya Joel ,would suddenly result into an sudden emotional outburst that will have Aile sobbing silently till no end. Even my friend Rafael was quite surprised when I suddenly started tearing up while we were talking in the cafeteria.

At first, I thought I was gonna feel like this for quite some time until I received a surprise phone call from my mom, telling me that she and Dad made a surprise trip to Manila because Dad had a meeting to attend at the last minute, and she offered that we could have early dinner together before they head to the meeting, and I instantly agreed. With that, I said goodbye to Raf and headed back to my apartment to change and prepare.

But even as my earphones blast "Matryoshka" at a considerably loud volume and I was looking forward to dinner with my parents, I still cried a good deal on my way back (which unfortunately, caught the attention of a few people. Someone even came up to ask if something bad had happened to me). By the time I was back to my apartment, I was already sobbing uncontrollably Ate was worried about something that might have happened to me.

After explaining to her briefly of my situation, we went and prepared for the walk to my parent's hotel. The good thing about the location of my apartment, is that while I'm literally less than fifty meters within the range of Benilde's Main campus and SDA campus, The hotels my parents frequently stay is within walking distance. Unfortunately, it's not near enough for me to walk the entire way without , yes you guessed it, breaking out, although it wasn't as severe as how I looked when I first arrived , but you all get the drift

I managed to get to the hotel, where I met up with my parents. Mom was worried at first when she noticed I was close to crying again, but after telling her what had happened, she told me a few encouraging words, before asking me what we should have for dinner. I didn't really want anything specific, but we ended up eating at a nice japanese restaurant near the hotel.

I was amazed on how parents can clearly cheer you up. My mom and dad's presence made me happier. I started talking about a lot of stuff, and mom constantly asked questions (tl;dr Aile switched from baw weep sob mode to geeky geek mode). What made it even better was when I'm pretty sure my tablet = confirmed for x-mas. Which is good because my visualization of this year's Christmas vacation: 10% glorious a** and underboobs on high defenition, and 90% slaving over studies and projects due for the finals right after vacation.

So tl;dr

- Who needs anything when you have parents?
- I love my parents so ******** much that I'm that willing to follow each and every one of their requests provided I don't forget
- Aile's christmas seems hopeful in a small insignificant way (Ailerlyneedsdattabletsogoddamnhard)
