"hey Lil'phil! Breakfasts ready" I shout from the dinning room and in response he comes racing in and immediately sat on his chair

I sat on my chair and clapped my hands together and murmur a prayer, I took a small peek at philippian and he copied me but with closed eyes

after pray I got a plastic spoon to scoop rice and put it on MY son's plate

"Dad, can I ask you something?"  he looked at me while I was placing rice on the plate

"sure, what is it?"

"why do we look weird?" he looked at me with a grossed out look

"why we look weird? what makes you say that?" I said with an amused tone

"I saw other people on TV and they have similar colors and they have different faces but we look different" philippian said in a little embarrassment

"well, that's because we're countryhumans and that's what makes us different" I smiled at philippian but he gave me a look that said 'wat'

"but what are countryhumans?" he asked, as I put some eggs on his plate

"countryhumans are leaders of a portion of land that is on this world and we protect and help the people in our country and work in the economy" I said In a calm voice


~Philippian~


after what dad said I couldn't really get it out of my head really. Probably because I don't remember anything from when I was younger but I know I'm 6 years old ( or 5 ) and he's my dad but I just woke up in a place I'm not familiar with and that kinda scares me bit especially with what the lady in the screen said... 

"Taal volcano eruption level 4, anyone near the residents please evacuate idmmedietly"

Evacuate...

I felt goosebumps yet I don't know what that is... but I know theres a reason for that, I'm sure of it!

"huh, it's still early I still have time..." I heard dad mutter which caught my attention, what is he late for? is it important? is he going to leave me? where is he going? can I come?

"dad, where are you going? are you going to leave?" I politely ask and he flinched and slowly turned around with a awkward smile and he looked nervous

"ummm okey well I'm going to my work place but now I just realised I'm not sure if I should leave you or bring you along heh... hmmm" dad then made a thinking look and then he asked me "hey lil'phil do you have any other um... clothes?"

I don't know so I shook my head as an answer

"awww jeez" dad scratched the back of his neck "I think I still might have smaller clothes for try"

"rweally?" I asked while chewing my food but then dad told me not eat with my mouth full so I kept eating until my plate was empty 

"Done!" I slammed my hands on the table happily but dad looked a little stunned? as I muster up a cheeky smile :)

he stood up taking my empty plate smilling, I should do that more often to make him smile!

"dad, can I come with you?" I asked politely, but he flinched and quickly clean the plates

"um anak, I can't-" he started to speak but then I realized, I have to wear something formal like in those people in the giant rectangle glass!

"Don't worry dad I can't go with you I understand" I said in sincerity, It took him off guard and he looked sad with a guilty expression
