//ang santol, bow.
isang araw naisipan namin ni janice na maglakad.
sabi ko isusuot ko ang aking 80's attire.
naglakad kami nang naglakad at pinagmasdan namin ang mga puno. andami palang puno sa loob ng compound. may duhat, may mangga, may ipil, at marami pang iba na hindi ko alam ang tawag.
maya-maya nakakita kami ng isang napakalaking puno, punong-puno ng bunga!
puno ng santol! at dahil buntis ang asawa ko, sinubukan kong mamitas. andaming bunga!
tingnan mo nga naman. halos sampung taon na akong hindi nakakakain ng santol.
alam nyo bang nakakabading pala ang santol? eto ang nangyari sa kin kinabukasan, habang nagdo-donate ng dugo sa red cross.
masisisi nyo ba ako, ang laki kaya ng krayom.

//celebrating father's day
To my yet-to-be-born child,No words can express how your mom and I felt the first time we saw you. In a cocktail of emotions, our first glimpse of you was simply unforgettable - you were so tiny, probably the size of a strawberry, yet there in the middle of your silence, was your heart beating fast - a sign that we have done a good job so far at making sure you'd grow healthy. Then suddenly, you moved, and it was as if you were greeting us too. It was as if you knew we were watching you.
An 8-week old wonder, a gift from above, an answered prayer. Suddenly our universe shifted and your mom and I now live each day for you.
We're counting the days until we will finally meet.
Until then I hope you won't mind if I celebrate Father's Day next Sunday.
With Love,
Daddy
