I called Dona last night at 00:15 and the birthday girl cried on the phone Her friend gave her a very bad news as her birthday gift and what a good friend the girl is! She told Dona that her boyfriend has another woman in the Middle East. I cried with her on the phone, then I called Vivi. Vivi and I actually have known about the affair of the asshole since Vivi was still in Dubai, but Vivi didn’t want to tell Dona because she doesn’t want to hurt her and Dona’s boyfriend is actually Vivi’s brother in law. So it’s another very complicated thing in this very complicated world…

Dona then called me again this afternoon and she was still crying. She blamed Vivi for not telling her and Vivi called Dona’s friend that gave her such an unforgettable birthday gift. And my name was mentioned, too. Vivi’s my soul sister and there’s no way that I won’t tell her. She even knows the color of my pee and poo, so she is the one that I trust the most and there’s no secret between us.

I told Dona that everyone might have a good intention to her, but anyway the decision is in her hand. If she still loved the asshole, don’t leave him and just deal with all the pains and hurts he caused. But if she wanted to move on, just go and never look back.

May God give that beautiful Dona wisdom and strength…

I dreamed of Mom again this early morning. I didn’t sleep the whole night and just fell asleep at 06:00. In my dream, we were exchanging gifts. I can’t remember what the occasion was. She gave me lotsa things and one of them was a box of leaves. She said I once asked her to buy me a box of a kit of drying leaves with some jars of colorful paint in it. Then I later wasn’t interested anymore in it because I couldn’t find leaves to dry and color. That’s why she gave me those leaves and she told me something that I can’t forget last night:

You have to finish what you start. Don’t give up easily, don’t waste anything.

She’ll always be my mother, a person that loves me the most, whether here on earth or there in Heaven…
