ULOG 0006 | 15 days of Distancing MySelf to Technology to have Quality Time with the Family

Are you a technology addict ?

How often do you see yourself lying in the couch using your cellular phone ? How often do you see yourself in front of your laptop ? How often do you see yourself scrolling on your newsfeeds ?

To be honest I tend to be in front of my laptop most of the time (especially now that I finish my studies). Scrolling my facebook newsfeeds and/or watching movies and animes was the things that eat most of my time.

I was well aware of myself being addict in technology so for this past 15 days I make myself distant to technology and give time to my family

What is the main reason for this action ?

My mother was planning to go abroad and help us with our financial expenses, it was really pointless because now that I have finish my studies I can now have a decent work and not let my mother go abroad.
The main reason why I allow her to work abroad is because she insist and it's not really like working, it was more like a vacation as she will only keep an eye to two little kids of my cousin.

The trip was not a work after all as she will just play with my cousin's two child

Also I would never allow my mother to work there if she will be under a complete stranger

It's not that I don't trust foreign people but I was really scared of the news saying Filipino overseas workers were being abused.

So what do I do these past 15 days ?

I literally give time to my family, I stopped watching anime and movies on my laptop, I limit my time infront of my facebook account

I only open my facebook account to look for important messages, if no important messages was being sent to me I quickly log out to avoid temptation 😂😂 Hahahahahaa

I also help my mother to get all of her requirements, starting from her PSA birth certificate, NBI clearance up to her passport and ticket

It really was hard to get an appointment to the DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs), it takes a lot of time looking for vacant appointment on their site so I was really thankful to a friend of mine whose uncle was working with the said department. He was the one who give us an appointment and we were really grateful.

Also we processed some document from my cousin who lived in Brunei (Brunei was the place where my mother plans to go I rally forgot to tell it Hahahahaahaha 😂 😂)

Basically for the past 15 days I was spending a lot of time with my mother, going with her to get her requirements and to go to the embassy and stuffs. We also go and visit my uncle who was on the Ospital ng Makati, my uncle was being confined there because of some sore throat problems. My uncle was scheduled to undergo CT scan this morning and we are all hoping that it was not that bad, we are all hoping that he only have some sore throat and not some serious stuffs.

I can't make myself not worry because we are a family having cancer history.

My mother now have a ticket plane scheduled 2 days from now, hoping her a safe trip

I surely will miss her.

I was not a showee type of son, I was not used in saying sweet words to my parents but I surely know that they know how I love them.

I was really happy for these past 15 days, I give my time to my parents. I even not pass my resume to some companies to ensure that these 15 days will not be disrupted by any calls or summoning.

Being distant to technology was not that bad, many have happened. Many memories was being made for the short period of time, some other time I'll make a more decent post that will cover the whole 15 days. 2 days before my mother leaves, I surely will take my time with her.
