It was past 11pm when I arrived home the other day. I forgot to bring my key with me. The doorbell was unplugged due to annoying practice of regularly buzzing it for no reason by the street children. There was no housemaid to open the doors for me while the rest of the family members were already in their bedrooms with their TVs on. My phone's run out of battery while my other phone didn't have credit. To interchange the sim cards would be the last option, because that time, I was hoping that our dogs would help me call the attention of the people inside our house to open the doors for me. I hoped that they would bark in chorus when I tried knocking on the gate, but they didn't. They know me too well even when I only stay in the house 5 to 8 times a year. Aww. :)
