Some dear friends are expecting a visit from the stork anytime soon. I couldn't help but feel excited for them. I obviously would not know yet the thrill of anticipating a bundle of joy after nine months. I am just jealous!
I thought it would be great to become a mother at 24. Young and vibrant, vulnerable and sweet. However, things were not ready for me yet or was it the other way around? So while I waited I savoured my "moments" being on my own. As mentioned before "I was young, carefree, in love and mad!".
I went to Hong Kong for my graduate studies. Met new friends, learned different cultures, uttered a few foreign words, enjoyed the whole experience. And right before finishing it, I got engaged. Woh! The long winded relationship came to its conclusion/commencement, the altar, last December 19, 2003.
"Finally!" EVERYONE cheered when I tied the knot with my one and only LOVE! And finally, I'd see EVERYONE mouths shut - no more "So when are you getting married?" questions. I thought so too...now, EVERYONE pesters me with "so are you pregnant already?"!!! Give me a BREAK!!!
I guess it is a Filipino culture to expect a baby soon after the wedding (sometimes a little too soon hehehe!!!). Wham! Honeymoon was successful and productive... but it ain't for me. I still feel the need to enjoy my "moments" with my husband. Afterall, I guess we deserve to have some time for each other considering all those years we've spent apart.
Truth to tell, I find it a bit rude for someone to pry regarding that matter. I'd say it is better if we leave couples alone, let them be. For all we know, they may have their own reasons not having one just yet (and for what it's worth they need not tell you!).
Right now, I am preparing my oven so it becomes perfect enough for my little bun!
P.S. I adore babies so much. At some point, I was scared I may be barren but let's wait and see okay? Promise, I'll keep you posted.
