Yesterday I turned 36 years old.
When I was young, when I learn that a person is older than 30, I see them as old people. Folly of youth?
I don't feel old, sometimes. When I'm with my babies, I feel young, but when I'm carrying them too long and my back starts to ache, then that's the time I feel my age.
Zia is now 2 years old and Enzo is 5 months. When I reach 60, they will be 26 and 24 respectively. I was thinking a while back, will I be too old when their life starts? Can I still guide them well? Or will I be too weak then to lend a hand when they are in trouble?
I was calculating the age of Biboy and Tatay, and their age difference is quite the same as mine and Enzo. Looking back, Tatay did a great job raising Biboy, and they were able to do father and son stuff, so maybe me and Enzo will be alright.
What were the major changes since my last birthday?
1. Enzo came to my life! I became a father the second time around last January.
2. I'm taking a Masters degree in Health Informatics.
3. Biboy went home last March.
4. I started a blog. (2 blogs actually)
5. Eye Republic added a clinic in SLMC.
6. Another doctor joined OCP.
7. I was reinstated as Assistant to the Director in PGH.
8. I became a consultant of PGH.
At present:
- I'm still 5'7"
- at 160 lbs
- waist is still 34"
- work 6 days a week
- sleep roughly 6 hours at night
I turn 3 dozens of years yesterday, hope to review this blog entry one year from now.
I hope Google calendar reminds me next year, my memory is sometimes not as sharp anymore. :)

Visitors
Yesterday, June 3 was a festive day in the Tahanan ng mga Perez. We were visited by Candee (Judith's cousin) and her family - Ogie (Zia's godfather), Gian and Sean. They came together with Joy (Judith's sister) and her family - Mek and Kyla.
Candee is a godmother of Enzo but was not able to attend his baptism last month because she was in Tacurong, Sultan Kudarat with her family. So as to bring her gifts, they visited us in our house in Las Pinas, and brought delicious food.
Of course, because of the 3 kids, the house was riotous! Children running, playing, jumping around, shouting, playing and laughing. It was fun. It made our home very lively, unlike our usual Sundays which are very silent and tranquil.
They were very charmed by Enzo who they described as very malikot for his age. Zia was also playing with the kids but not as actively as we would want her maybe because of her bowel problems.
When they left last night, the house was once again very peaceful, and we missed them immediately.
I was not able to take pictures so I can't post any for the blog.

June
June na ulit, tag-ulan na naman at pasukan na naman.
Mag-eenroll na naman ako para sa aking Masteral course sa Health Informatics sa UP Manila. Pangalawang taon ko na sa kurso pero hindi ako masaya sa mga natatapos ko sa klase, hindi ko talaga mabigyan ng kaukulang oras para masulit ko yung mga klase namin, nauuwi tuloy na naghahabol ako palagi lalo na kapag may mga kailangang ipasa. Hay naku.
Pipilitin ko na sa darating na semestre ay mas maging maganda pa ang magiging takbo ng aking pag-aaral. Medyo mahirap, pero kaya naman.
Mas malamig na ang panahon dahil nag-uulan na, di na katulad ng nakaraang mga araw na saksakan ng init. Sa bahay naman namin, medyo tahimik naman at wala masyadong bago. May umalis lang na isang yaya (kay Enzo) pero may nahanap naman kaming kapalit (kaya lang mukhang di rin tatagal). Nakakaya naman ni Judith sa ngayon dahil mababait naman sina Enzo at Zia. Nakakapag-clinic pa rin naman siya. Ang Mommy naman ay naiiwan sa bahay kasama ang mga yaya kapag wala kaming dalawa ni Judith.
Namomoroblema lang kami ng konti kay Zia dahil hindi pa rin regular ang kanyang pagdumi. Minsan maayos pero minsan hirap na hirap siya kaya umiiyak habang dumudumi. Nakakaawa talaga pag nakikita naming nahihirapan siya, kadalasan tuloy pinipigil niya na dumumi siya. Sana nga malagpasan niya na to.
Pipilitin kong maging regular din na magsulat dito, baka nga mabawasan dahil medyo maraming parating na gawain. Tiis muna.
Buti na lang merong isang magandang paparating na mangyayari sa buwan na ito, ang aking kaarawan sa 23. Magiging 36 na ako!
