37

Last year I posted here my thoughts of being 36 years old.

Well, I just turned 37 a month ago, and another year of wrinkles, white hairs and aching back were added to my body.

Socially, quite a lot has transpired since last year. I've been to Singapore for the 3rd time, been to Ilocos and Bangkok for the first time. I'm still in PGH, working as an administrator for the hospital (my 5th of 6 years) and a consultant for the Department of Ophthalmology. Our group in Eye Republic is still doing good. We might have a new clinic by early next year in St. Luke's The Fort. I still need to finish my thesis in my Masteral degree in Informatics.

Tatay and Nanay were here last year (almost half a year) and they did a lot of things - fix the house, buy a new car and sadly, to bury my Tito Ben, Tito Toto and Lola who all passed away the last year. Some uncles and aunts were also able to visit us (Tita Josie from New York and Tito Francis with Wesley, Jeffrey and Tiffany).

Zia and Enzo are growing fast. Zia is currently enrolled in a special school to further train her speech and social development, while Enzo is becoming more of me. Most of my nights are playtime with my wonderful children.

Judith is becoming busy. Most of her clinic days, she has even more patients than me. She has hired a driver to accompany her, making me less worried when she is out working.

Hopefully, this next year will be as much as fun and more productive than the previous one.

37, tsk tsk, I'm getting old...
