Thursday, May 12
This morning on Thursday ...
Mom had written Call 212 : Mother's Day
and Call 213 : Tell Dad ... and published them on the blog.
This would be one of the very few times that she's written 2 entries in one day. Actually, her story was just long, and she had split it into 2 posts. :D
You must have wanted your mother to rest her eyes from the computer glare, because the next day on Friday, Blogger service was down from morning till midnight. Yup, she had checked at 3 separate times, at 8 am, 3 pm and 11:30 pm ...
and found the service down down down ...
A coinciDANS, no doubt ... :D
On Saturday the following day, upon checking, she found her entry Call 212 missing from the blog.
It's still missing at the time of writing this entry, if You must know. :( Dad has been telling her to print out her call - entries and keep them safely in a folder ... just in case ... but did she listen?
NoooOoooOooOooo ... O.O
Oh ... so maybe now she'll do it ... since the just in case has happened ... So that's the update about the missing entry ...
It's still missing ...
Anyway ...
on Thursday afternoon, Justine was in college and Dad was at a meeting. Mom was at home. It was about 2:30 pm, before Mom decided to take a break from her work. She thought she'd watch a movie for a bit.
Going through some new DVDs that Dad had bought,
she picked JUST GO WITH IT ... and slid it into the player. That was the only movie that she had not seen among the DVDs in her hands ...
and why?
because the day when Dad, Justine and Aunty Carol watched that movie ... on May 1st (Labour Day) ... she fell asleep whilst the show was on ... and she only got up when Dad woke her up to tell her that the movie had ended and that she could go to sleep ... :D
So, she watched JUST GO WITH IT that Thursday afternoon ... all by herself. Gee, was it her imagination or does that movie have quite a bit of ZAP signs that made your mother feel You near ... so very near her ... Did she mention? She feels your presence the strongest whenever she's alone ... :D
Honestly, just check out the signs in the movie ...
1. Danny ...
The fact that the main character is called Danny had earned her full attention right from the beginning of the show ... although of course it would have been better had he been called Daniel, she had thought at first, since we don't normally call You Danny, but Dans ...
Still, like the title, she hears your voice ...
Just Go With It, Mom ... :D
2. "children, all 14 of them" ...
says the Danny character.
That was her second ZAP. Of all the numbers that was uttered, it had to be 14?
1 AM NUMBER 4 ...
Call 43 : Angel Sign
Call 150 : Number Four
3. "boobie bags" ...
says the Katherine character.
That third ZAP sure put a smile on your mother's face. She remembers how the word boobs would tickle You ... any time, anywhere, any day ... She can so imagine You cupping your mouth trying not to laugh out loud ... :D
4. Somebody Call 911 ...
Her 4th ZAP ...
The background song at a house party scene ... 911 ... was a grim reminder for Mom as she thought instantly of the ambulance ride from Lourdes Hospital to Pao Medical Center and that last time You were transported to Sunway Medical Center in a loud-siren ambulance and a week later, back home ...
5. PSP ... "I score!" ...
Her 5th ZAP.
The maid came on and appeared to be engrossed in a game she was playing ... how could that not remind Mom of You and your PSP ... the maid yelling "I score" ... reminded Mom of how excited You are whenever You scored ...
6. Rocky 4 ...
says the Palmer girl.
Hellooo? 4 ???
Yes 4 ... Jump For Joy 4 ...
7. M e o w ...
says Katherine to the waiter.
Meow ??? Her 7th ZAP.
Meow ... like the cat that mysteriously visited our home a few weeks ago? And the one that appeared in Aunty Diana's life about that same period, and is still with her now?
Meeeeow alright ...:D
Call 186 : Meow Meow
8. "I forgot, You're 15 ..."
says Katherine to the Palmer girl.
Yes ... Yes, You are 15 ...
Forever 15 ...
Her 8th ZAP.
Your last Baskin-Robbins Ice-Cream Cake with us ...
9. "13 steps" ...
says Danny.
Her ZAP number 9. Can't remember what the line was about, only that her sharp ears heard Danny mentioning 13 steps ...
Decode : 4
TWO times ???
Ahah!
Take notice, Mom ... :D
She hears You ... <3
10. Kiki D ...
The little girl's fake name ...
Kiki D ???
27 alphabets and the producers had to picked this one? :D
Her 10th ZAP.
Hmmm ...
You see what's happening here, don't cha?
Maybe that's why she has to watch this movie by herself. You must have been blowing softly into her face the other night to lull her to sleep. There's no way Dad, Jus and Aunty C would have been able to watch this movie without hearing your mother's reaction every few minutes. :D
See what You have done to your mother, Son ...
She's just not the same ... but then who is?
Who --- is ???
Allow a short pause here ...
Oooooohhhhh ... 0.0
She hears You, and sees your trembling "I'm scared" hand action. Yeah, the one You do whenever your mother is trying to make a strong and firm statement ... your Ooooohhhhhh would break her momentum and reset her agitated mood and leave her chuckling in the end instead.
That is your gift, Daniel ... <3
Thank You Jesus, for the gift of Daniel ... <3
11. "PlayStation 3 ... 4 games" ...
were the words that came out during the negotiation between Danny and the little boy. Her 11th ZAP.
PlayStation? That's You ...
And 4 ??? Oh, c'mon ...
Who else is Number 4 ???
Oh Oh Oh, by the way, Idol James Durbin is also Number 4. :D Can't help but wonder if You got all your angel - gang to vote for him. :D How perfect that he ended his time on stage with the song :
By American Idol James Durbin
Don't stop believing... Hold on to that feeling...
No, no she won't ... and ... Yeah, yeah she will ... :D
By the way, the video showing his journey ended with him showing the ROCK ON hand sign ...
Which reminds Mom of You ... :D
