 Hey, guys its Friday once again. And I am so looking forward for the weekend. Nothing unusually to happen but I just want to stay home and sleep all day long.

 I’m still not over with my “paglilihi” yet and I’m getting tired of this feeling.

 I loss few pounds already because I really can’t eat or even drink enough water.

 KA is excited to see her little brother/sister na. Di ko lang alam kung gaano sya magseselos kapag nakita na talaga nyang lumabas.

 KA also takes care of me when I said I am not feeling well. Sometimes she just gave me water to drink even without asking her to do so, para lang daw hindi na ako mahilo. Kakatouch!

About KA’s schooling, so far, lagi pa naman syang excited to go to school and always willing to do her homework every night before we go to bed.

 With regards to my parents, as per my brother’s update eh okey naman daw sila. Unti-unti ng nakakabawi ng lakas. And I thanks God for that!

 On the other side, July 4, marked the day that I was able to go inside (for the first time) the Malacanang Palace, Manila, in Rizal Hall in particular.

 That was also the day that one of the breakaway group signed the MOA on closure agreement with the government, and I am so proud to be part of the group that work for its success.

 On the same day, I was able to see Korina Sanchez together with Mar Roxas personally because they were also in Malacanang but on a separate event.

That’s enough guys. Have a happy weekend everyone!
