Hi Anak,

Took this photo at around 10:30-ish pm. Papa's snoring 😴 (as per usual hehe). He's tired from work again and a bit down kaya I cooked one of his favorites - CHICKEN CURRY!!!

He's wearing his Ateneo jersey shirt na more than 10 years old na ata. The quality is good din naman kasi and also comfy. You know, Pinoys like to use basketball jerseys as pambahay at pang-swimming hahaha! Pasensya na din super dumi nung sofa natin. Di pa kami nakakahanap ng maayos na cleaner for it. But promise, before ka dumating sa mundong ito, it'll look better na ulit! 👍🏻

I took a nap too but your papa woke me up. I opened twitter and saw a thread about the letters that the late DILG Sec. Jesse Robredo wrote for his family. I'm very touched by how authentic and raw it was so I decided to it as well. Imitation is the greatest form of flatter - imitation ba talaga o simpleng gaya gaya lang? Char! Haha!

I really think this a good outlet for me to show how excited we are for you to arrive kahit na we're still waiting na magkaroon ako kasi hindi nag-work yung last batch ng Yaz pills ko. My PCOS causes so much delay for us to have you, Anak. Sama mo na yung tatlong beses na na-delay yung church wedding namin. But I'm glad na we can now focus on conceiving you ayyy sorry anak SPG 😁🤭🫣

Dami ko ding ginawa today, puro interview din. Mag 1 year na din pala akong housewife. Dami ko ring nakuhang email na hindi ako natanggap sa work but it's okay. Kahit gustong gusto ko yung company na yun wala eh, di ako qualified. Sobrang saludo ako sa papa mo, kaya siguro siya din yung una kong post eh kasi gusto ko makuha mo lahat ng traits niya. Makuha mo yung pagiging matalino niya at masipag. I wouldn't mind too if you'll look like him kahit sabi niya sa akin kamukha mo siya!

Sana next week may good news na para matulungan ko na din si Papa mo sa mga gastusin dito sa bahay. Kahit kaya niya mag-isa. siyempre hirap na din siya. I really really like to help your Papa, Anak. Also, pag andito kana, kaya ko na din ibigay lahat sayo. Hindi yung pinaka-expensive na mga bagay ha. Pero siguro pwede once or thrice a year haha! I would like the three of us to go to different place. Maybe that's the kind of luxury that I really want to give you. For you to experience different cultures, cuisines and weathers!!! Haay Anak, wala kapa dito but we have tons of plans and dreams for you. We're prepared na anak, ikaw na lang ang kulang. Sana dumating kana.

'Til my next letter! We love you!

Your Bestfriend,

Mommy 💖
