goodbyes and shrek 2
tonight is my sister leiya and sophia's last day here in Maryland. They'll be flying to Ohio early tomorrow morning. I was too engaged in all the babysitting and playing and shopping that i completely forgot they're already leaving tomorrow. the next time i'll be seeing them will be at least a year from now. i'm really going to miss them, especially sophia, especially now that she has grown close to me already. i'll miss hugging her and reading her books and watching playhouse disney with her. haa.. it just saddens me to think that i have no choice but to see her quickly grow up through pictures my sister will send through email, and when she sees me again a year from now, she will have no idea who i am anymore.. why is it always harder to part with kids?

* * *we watched shrek 2 awhile ago with nong and benjo, by the way. it was loads of fun. hehe. nong thinks it's better than the first. i can't compare the two; it's like each one has its own character. the second one has more adult humor though. donkey even made mention of the "miranda rights", which i only learned in law school. hehe. but i think the kids love it just the same. benjo liked it so much.
