Days of "Strawberry Jam" without "J"
Dear Jam,Together now! "Happy Birthday Nahnang!Happy Birthday Nahnang!Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!Happy Birthday Nahnang!" Unfortunately for our surprise though, she wasn't around when we burst into Lolo's hospital room with the pizza and ice cream. She had to be sent to run Lolo's PHILHEALTH requirements. But it wasn't a total loss when she told me later on. We'll get to that onwards the end though.
First, about you. Yes. Sorry, you had ice cream. Although right now enjoying this cup, you or your cough aren't complaining. This is your second helping of ice cream actually. You had one from my plate but since you kept pointing the "Jabee" on the cup and wouldn't stop from doing so, Mamilou gave you a separate share, with your own spoon. Not only that, you were also kind enough to share a bite with anyone else who came to ask. You gave Lolo a scoop and though I didn't ask for it, you gave me some. I had to push the offers away, my own cough has gotten worse when yours has gotten better. But I think that is better than the other way around. Yeah.
Tita-Ninang-"Jabee"-Ma'am-Deen was there for awhile and before her shift. Though you have taken a liking to take her picture, she still couldn't seem to get your attention. Or maybe you're just like that to other people when I am around. You seem to give everyone their "Nahh!" than a kiss from you, which they much rather prefer. I told her to try and offer you food, off Mamilou's can of Pringles. You acquiesced for awhile but when she ran out of time to give you some off it, you ran out of time giving her anymore of your sweetness. Nahnang finally came around before 
Tita-Ninang-"Jabee"-Ma'am-Deen could leave the building. She looked like a bearer of bad news when she arrived, Nahnang. On her birthday, ironically. However, the bad news was not for her. It was for Lolo's messy PHILHEALTH records where there is a confusion with his real name between ARMAND and ARMANDO. That's going to take sometime, being as it is a National ID, it's important to place the accurate information based on other National IDs. Anyway, so Nahnang's birthday gift? *sigh* Had I been in her shoes, in her age, in her...err well, self, I would be happy too. Elated. Ecstatic. What have you? When you were barely walking, we brought you to Eco-Church early in the morning for the Simbang Gabi. This nine-day pre-Christmas devotion has been rather special for Nahnang and even more so will be this year's. What she encountered today has something to do with that. Sorry, I won't say any further! Hahah!It was all fine and dandy before I went online and opened my Facebook. I was met with the most devastating news about your Ate Nikki. I respect her family's decision not to tell anyone but I have to tell this out, right her somehow, seeing as I have no one else to talk to and share it. She may just be suffering a kind of cancer other than the supposed diagnosis of TB. I don't know what to think. We have lost touch for quite sometime, your Ate Nikki and I but that will not take away the fact that I love her as much as I am responsible for her as her Aunt and Godmother. You see, when I was younger and innocent, unhurt but idealistic, I promised her and your Ate Jea that I would send them off to college. That didn't happen. I was lost. There was a rift in the family relationship and our sweet little trio, Ate Nikki, Ate Jea and I, had to break up. I want to take this chance to reach out to her again but it's just difficult right now, with my health and yours. I don't want to contract something that may affect you. So we will see how we can help.
Thankfully, I was cheered by a comment from Tita Jet. In fact she left the note for you and I will leave you to read it when you're big enough. I also got a little comment from Tita Joanna who said I was having diabetes withStrawberry Jam already. Hahah! Yeah. She got that right. I am and I won't deny that. I was just so busy answering emails, messages, texting and well, I'm sorry I lagged on our blog. I wasn't able to put up an entry. So I'm going to do a lot of back tracking what with the days I wasn't online. It took me quite sometime to make another page and this is for my photography. I had HOLLYWOOD FX before and since I've been doing a lot of experimental photography, which takes up a lot of my personal album space in Facebook, I will want the page to store just that. I finally uploaded the shoot we had with Tita Sheena for her birthday; EightSHEEN Pre-Debut Photoshoot.
JaMOVIE: Golden ChristmasI can say that you aren't much of a dog lover as much as (much as very much) of a cat lover. The movie poster as well as DVD cover is rather misleading. The only time these cute little pups came around was at the end and they probably only had about five minutes in the whole movie. Tuh! I was terribly disappointed, I tell you. The story is actually really nice but how they covered it in the movie, how they arranged the thrill and suspense of revelations didn't work well with the director in me. Other than the fact that the only actor I practically recognized there was the man who played Senator Kelly in X-Men and X-Men II, there wasn't much to it. It was too slow-paced leaning to boring and hadn't you willed to stay up late, I wouldn't have endured it. I think I lasted thru it too because I am a total sucker for everything Christmas-ey and well, dogs.
JAMantic of the Day:At home, preparing to leave early to buy pizza and ice cream, your sharp wits and keen observation found my spare sanitary pad in my bag. When you said "Mommy pampos" I finally understood what you meant when you rode on the pad as if it were a horse, or as if you were wiping yourself with it. With it you patted my groin and said "O, Mommy pampos" hahaha Mommy's pampers, you mean? You started early, actually after bath saying "taposh" as soon as you finished with your luxurious bubble bath and delightful shower. You were also kind enough to give me the sneezing clothe, saying "noshe" when I sneezed so loud. AND. AND. I don't know where you got it but you just started doing the "Hahaha hihihi hoohoohoo" like a Lamaze breathing excersise. Wherever did you get that? :DD
Your Mommy,
<---(On our way home, you took fancy on the swinging necklace with the ball pendant. You were screaming with delight, shrieking everytime it swung to your hand as you said "Ball. Ball. Ball".) (It took you time to sleep and you insisted to hold on to your book as I rubbed your back to sleep. You eventually slept with it in your arms is if it was any of your stuffed animals. Below.)
