letters to my children

My Dearest Little Kuya Giann,

Mum will be honest. I'm worried about leaving you for days but I know you'll be a good boy. Mum will definitely miss you and I know you're going to miss me too but promise me you won't give your lola, ninang, kuya and the maids a hard time, okay?

I will be back soon! With a bonus baby sister for you! :P You may not really be thrilled with her arrival but we'll get there. You're a smart, sweet, very beautiful little kuya and I love you very much. Know that a new baby will not lessen my love for you. Mum actually looks forward to raising Baby Red with you. :)

Make mum proud Kuya Giann! Patiently wait for me like the real, smart, good little Kuya that you are! ;)

I love you. I'll see you soon!

My Dearest Baby Girl,

I wish I have the best words to tell you how anxious and excited I am to finally see you! Mum will not lie, I am very very very nervous too (that we cried more than once yesterday just thinking about the BIG day!) but we're strong, we'll be fine. :)

Conceiving you may not be as breezy as conceiving your Kuya but I want you to know that it never lessened the joy, love, and anticipation I'm feeling knowing that I'm going to have you. I actually can't wait to hold your tiny, fragile little body while imagining how cute you'd be in pink dresses! :P

We're off to the hospital in a few hours. Mum will yet again undergo painful, annoying medical procedures before having you but much as I'm scared, I will take them like a real woman for they bring me steps closer to finally meeting you.

Mum is really nervous! You must be too. But no worries love, we'll be fine. We have your lola's strength! We're strong and beautiful and we're gonna rock St. Luke's! ;)

Daddy and Kuya Giann will be waiting for us, we should come home soon. 

I love you.

bulutong scare!

There is an epidemic of chicken pox in this place.

It all started with our neighbour - the first one to get the virus. I couldn't understand why he didn't leave their house to spare his two kids of the virus. His eldest is 4 and the youngest is months younger than Giann. The father is all well now. But both the kids got the virus. It seems to me though that it doesn't bother them one bit. When I went out of the house for a drive, I saw both kids in the streets - playing! With scabs all over their body. And their parents were just there, watching. Didn't they know that 1. sick children should be resting; 2. they should be confined at home to prevent the spread of the airborne virus. No, they probably don't know. Or just don't care.

Now the eldest daughter of Giann’s maid has the virus as well! And she lives upstairs! Giann’s maid, the other maid and her younger sister are all exposed to her, and they all come down here to play/look after Giann! One thing about chicken pox is sometimes, you already have it but you have no idea that you’re a carrier. Pau and I are now afraid that one of them might spread the virus and infect Giann and me! We’re both very susceptible to chicken pox. Giann’s still very young and I am pregnant. Chicken pox, like any infection, is a big NO to any pregnant woman.

Therefore Pau has decided that both Giann and I leave this place until the outbreak has totally subsided. We’re going to be Mummy Lhai’s refugees for days, weeks even!

Too bad Pau won’t be staying with us. He’s got no place to sleep in our little condo! Heh. We’ll definitely miss him. :( But it’s something we gotta do to make sure Giann and Baby Red won’t get infected by chicken pox. Anyway, Pau’s promised to visit us every day and that while he’s in this house, he won’t leave the room or be in contact with the maids so he won’t get the virus. Then again he keeps on insisting that once you already had chicken pox, you get immune to it. But I read somewhere that you can still get the virus long years after your first infection. So yeah. Better safe than sorry!

I knew it. This place is really not good for us!

So I was right!

I am a master of the specie that we call MALE! :P

The swimming/drinking didn't pursue. Well, it 'kind of' did. But not as planned. It's not in Laguna and it's not going to be overnight. It's just going to be in a condo somewhere in Makati. There'd be lots of drinking and "WoW-talking" and it's gonna be a sausage fest!

So why am I home? Pau didn't want to go if it's not going to be overnight. He doesn't want to drive after drinking. :) If he goes, he just won't have a good time. He knows he's going to stop drinking after two bottles of San Mig Light because he's gonna drive! He's just going to drool and envy our friends who can drink a whole case of beer without having to worry about driving! See, Pau's an educated driver. ;)

I am not gonna lie and say I was saddened by the fact that we didn't go to Pansol for an overnight swimming/drinking. I am actually relieved. I really had bad vibes about it.

I feel sorry for Pau though.

There's always next time! :)
