accompanied my youngest daughter to her fieldtrip last thursday. it was an educational trip for me as well. went to the ff places:

1) mon nissin - lucky me noodles factory in sta. rosa laguna. they had this viewing place made especially for educational tours.

2) MOA science and discovery center - learned lots from various galleries. like the tallest building, how the earth needs taking cared of. how and where robots started. and they had the most amazing planetrium that is the only technology in southeast asia. you really would feel like you are inside a big spaceship. my daughter keeps nudging me and asking if we really were flying and if we were actually in outer space.

3) fort santiago - a very freaky place. i don't know but it makes my skin crawl. as if a lot of spirits are in the area lurking. i remember i was i grade 3 when i first and last saw the place. the place looks older and ancient now.

4) star city - big rides are not really my thing. developed fear for these giant machines since i was a kid. i can manage the carousel, the boats that goes around some figurines or the bump car. but the rest i'd rather not try or else i might barf around the area. had my daughter ride the kiddie bump car for about ten rounds i think. she enjoyed it so much more than i did. i just watched her having fun.

during the first stop i bumped into my sister. apparently, she is an asst guidance counselor in my daughters school. she just started this school year. was given a few teaching loads in science and math so she joined the trip as well.

i actually saw her first but didn't know how to react. so pretended that i didn't see her....its good that she did the first move to call me ate and kissed and hugged me. i guess its true that time heals all wounds. i hope its the same for my mom. she has wounds that needs more healing than we did. and i'm sure it will take more time for her to understand me and forgive my dad for everything that happened.

i'm just happy that somehow i felt that my sister set the past aside and initiated the peace between the two of us. she said a lot of painful things before that i'd rather forget. never did bear a grudge at my sisters coz i knew how my mom can manipulate them. i hope this is the start of our quest for peace in the family. i know in God's time everything will be well. all we can do right now is pray...for healing and for peace.
