Happy Valentine's Day

Pwede bang sabihin na time out muna.

Nung bata pa ako, pag nag lalaro kami ng monkey monkey o kaya langit lupa pag malapit na mag zone in yung taya sa iyo, pwede kang sumigaw ng time out time out para bigyan ka ng kaunting break.  Para makahinga ka ng maayos.  Pero di yata ganun sa totoong buhay. 

Asa US ako ngayon bilang isang doctor.   Sabi ng iba, wow ang yaman mo, pero ang sabi ko naman, di ko alam kasi lahat halos ng kinikita ko napupunta sa pilipinas para tulungan ang pamilya.  Wow. Classic Judy Ann.  Sa lagay na ito wala akong pamilya ng sarili.

I should be happy, being in a position to bless other people rather than person needing to be blessed.  But sometimes, I guess there are times when i feel like it is messing up with my plan. No i don't need expensive bags. No it's not that helping my family gets in the way of me buying awfully expensive shoes.  It's not that it's keeping me from buying a jaguar.  I don't even like those things. It's keeping me from going home

Home.

To the philippines. 

How can I go home when my family depends on me for everything in the financial aspect?  It's a hard task to be given this role.  Do i like it? No.  Do i do it? Yes. 
There are some things you just do because you have to.  This is one of those things.
