It's all good.

Big koh koh called me at work this morning to let me know that he managed to contact my daddy at 1am this morning. Everything is good, except that electricity is gone for now. Big koh told me that he couldn't manage to persuade my daddy to come home soon, so he asked me to try.

Called mommy later in the afternoon and she also mentioned that my daddy called her yesterday and told her that all was fine. He's still going to work as his area didn't suffer too badly from the cyclone. I asked her if he was coming back and she said that he said that he was not going to, not anytime soon anyway.

I knew it would all be good. More so when I called his home number and it managed to get through (just that no one picked up).

But aiyo my stubborn daddy. I mean, I know being a workaholic is part of you, but...ish.

I'm going to try my charms later on him. Pull my beloved daughter card. See if I can persuade him to come home soon.

I'm going to drill it into him that family should be of higher priority than his employers. And I'm going to drill it into him that his being there worries the hell out of us everywhere. And I'm going to drill it into him that we want to always know that he is safe and sound nearer to home instead of in a country which has reported so many happenings as of late. And I'm going to drill it into him that it would be the best birthday present that he can ever give me. And I'm going to drill it into him that it saves me a lot of worrying, knowing that he's home, being lovingly taken care of by my mommy.

And I'm going to drill it into him that I miss him so much, and it would be so much easier to contact him if he was home.
