The Past Catches Up...

Ok, I left Davao over a year ago so I can start a new life. I had to go far away because the family has a long reach. So, since March of 2008, I was happy that despite the chains that bind me to my mom, I'm more or less free with what I do here in Manila. Not anymore.

You see, my stepdad was getting sick of working for his insurance company with the work climate becoming unbearable. Fate gave him an alternative. He'll manage a manpower agency that has a clean and good reputation. So he's here now. Normally I wouldn't mind but Fate decided to pull a joke on me. I live on one end of Mayapis street. My stepdad's office and his pad are on the other end. Until now I still can't internalize that bloody fact.

And what happens when mom comes to Manila to pay a visit or stay for a few weeks? I don't even want to think about it.
