we are going to be a family!
First of all we would like to ask an apology for not updating this blog for almost 6 months due to the lack of significant events that happened in our life from the time of our last entry to May 27, 2007.
We are still currently living with my parent's house, Zhel's uncle and auntie. the situation with respect to our relationship with my parents have improved significantly. My mother seemed to already accept us 99%, I could say although my father is still a bit indifferent but fairly enough to make us feel welcome in the house. My younger sister is still a monster. Silent but if a little potential conflict will arise, she transforms into a wild animal, so we just ignore her as much as we can. I feel pitty of her since she has two child, separated to their father. A single mother, I would say.
Anyway, we have a good news. This May28, we go to a doctor and have Zhel checked-up for pregnancy and the test result is positive. We are going to have a baby. We are going to be a family in three months. The feelings are mixed with happiness, fear and uncertainty. I know that this will be the start of a new challenge that we will be facing.
Right now, I'm working (trainee) in a company that sells computer parts and accessories. I'm currently earning Php 225.00 (training allowance) and expecting to increased by at least Php 125.00 after my training. I admit I'm not that proud of my job considering I'm a graduate of B.S. in Computer Science in one of the top computer universities in the country. I guess that only reflects how hard to land a good job here in the Philippines in the present time.
I'm still calling to fellow Filipino couples with similar situation like ours. Please give us at least your email address for me to know if our number are increasing. Thank you...
