Work and Pleasure at HarborLights Hotel

Although my scheduled trip to Mis Occ was deferred, I have both work and pleasure here in HarborLights Hotel until Friday. Work because I have to prepare and present the MNCIADP e-reporting format on Thursday and Friday. Pleasure because we will have every night socials activity for each batch of participants. We at the PMES are well-known for "socials" because we have dancing instructors and ballroom dancing. The first batch is for the rice municipal report officers of the Province of Bukidnon, Camiguin and Lanao del Norte. Tomorrow are the report officers of Misamis Occidental and Misamis Oriental.

Edwin is still in NOMIARC for the Cabinet meeting. Sleeping without Edwin is lonely and even the kids feel the loneliness. We huddle close and hug each other as a way of comforting our longing for Edwin. May be thats why God has not yet granted my wish for either Edwin or I to work overseas because the separation and loneliness will be too much for us and the kids. I still cry at some nights when Edwin goes on lengthened travels. At times, the kids and I take turns in crying. Leilalia is specially affected when one of us goes on travels because she's too mature for her age and questions why we have to go on travels and leave them.e It hurts because we parents sacrifice too much to be able to provide for our families. As I said before, we can't have our cake and eat it too.
