We Will Be Meeting You Soon

We are expecting for you to come out last week of May or the 1st week of June.. The days are getting shorter and shorter my dear and we are hoping that you will be ready soon, because mommy and I are very ready. We have your stuff prepared, handwashed by mommy weeks ago and folded them carefully into a cute pink bag which we will e bringing to the hospital when mommy starts to labor.

We are very excited to meet you. Mommy and I are always wondering what you look like.Whenever mommy is tired of studying or writing articles (for extra income) she looks at your image from the ultrasound and she's encouraged and energized with your black and white image alone, how much more when we see you face to face. It would be very awesome! It would be overwhelming! Your grandma and grandpa are also very excited to meet you. They have nice and good plans for you when you arrive. A day won't pass without talking about you, everything about you.

Dear Pia, we wanted the world to be perfect for you when you come out, but it is not, because after all, everyone living here is imperfect, however our love for you is. We pray that even though you will be born in a world with chaos, but still you will feel our love and protection as you grow old. We pray that even the things around you are full of hate and deceit, still you will grow to be full of love that it would flow to others as well so they may see and feel it too. Also, be honest with all your dealings and speak the truth gently and with grace when you know it hurts. The truth is always the best answer and should always be your answer.

The Day We Saw Double Purple Stripes

My bags were almost ready, I just needed a final check on the things that I should bring before I will arrange them inside my bags. But something happened that cancelled my 1 week trip somewhere out of town and another event really convinced me to stay... Your mom called, she was crying. She was already two months late that time when she did a pregnancy test, and that night she PASSED the test. Two purple lines approved that she really passed.

When mommy called those was not tears of joy, but I want you to know that you are not unwanted. You just mixed up mommy's emotion a bit that her tears badly leaked. I rushed to mommy's place as soon after she called. I went to a pharmacy first to buy another kit, but I told the pharmacist to make give me 2 kits, he laughed at me. I wanted to be sure. When I arrived at mommy's place her eyes were swollen. She used the first one that I brought, then she passed again. The other one in the following morning with same result.

At that time, mommy already finished her BS-Biology course, but her dream was to become a doctor so she enrolled to a med school, back then she was just starting first year in med school, so I understood how she felt at that time how her fears and anxiety mixed up. So the following day I came back to her place and after seeing the same result I hugged her tight and reassured her that everything is going to be alright.

But I knew to my self back then that we are facing a really big responsibility. I knew that our lives were going to change forever. You were given to us by God, you were entrusted to us and I don't want to mess it up. I took the responsibility at 22 years old.

Days passed by and our emotions were quite calmed down, we pulled ourselves together and then we got ourselves settled with God, and we prayed for guidance, and we planned the necessary things to do for you and mommy to be healthy. From that day on our only concern was all about you and for your good. All our plans were changed, because we already included you in them and for all the plans we made YOU are in the middle of the picture, you are always part of them all because we love you.

A Little About Me and Mommy

Your mom dumped me uncountable times when she was still in college studying Biology. I was very persistent, but to be honest I almost gave up. She told that she don't want to see my face anymore and that I was just not her type. She even asked someone to pretend to be her boyfriend so that I would stop bothering her. But that didn't stopped me.

I liked your mom ever since I met her, then as the days went by we became friends and my feelings evolved from a simple crush to love. The day I courted her was a war! A game of hide and seek started, she literally ran away from me. She was repelled by my presence.
So, for a year it went like that. Then one day almost a miracle happened. She agreed on a date, we talked, we texted each other and eventually October fifth of 2008 she said YES! These three letter word was the prize for a year's torment and rejection. But the real prize was her heart..but then..

After one week she called me on my phone while I was at school. She called to break up with me. I didn't understand why or maybe I refused to understand. She said that she's not ready yet. So just like that she broke up with me. And to make it formal, she asked me to find a place where the sunrise is visible. She wants to officially end our relationship with a sunrise.

What a drama I thought to my self, but I respected her decision and I looked for a place where we can see the sun rise so she can enjoy it as she torments my heart. I knew that when that moment comes my side of the earth will embrace the rising sun while I deep inside of me it will be a sunset.

The breakup place and time is set, I even fetched her somewhere near the hill where the sun can be seen as it slowly rise. It's like setting up for my own death. But that was her final request, so I did it for her.
She met me with a warm smile that morning. We went to a bakery first to buy some fresh bread and went on to the hill where the break up is going to happen.

The whole time my emotions were mixed up, happy because we were together and sad because that might be the last time that we could be together. And so we arrived on a hill where the sun will rise behind the city's highest peak -the mount Agad-agad. We waited for several minutes then a real miracle happened!

I never really enjoyed rain, but that day.. that fateful day it saved me from emotional death! God must have sent it to save our relationship, because He knew someone like you will be coming our way. For me that was a divine intervention. A thick cloud covered the sun as it was rising. So that breakup has been postponed until further notice... Your mom wants things to be her way, she plans things and intend them to happen, that day didn't gave her a sunrise for her perfect breakup scheme..

So we found shelter from the rain in a tennis court where the tennis scorer or umpire sits, we just talked the whole time and laughed about the rain.. after that day things changed, I courted her again and she gave me another chance.. 3 years after we found out about you!
