Gleniz da MenaceAfter a couple of months, ngayon ko lang na-process yung reaction ng tito at tita ko nung sinabi kong nas-stress ako sa paglipat namin sa Calgary. It stuck with me kasi na-wirdohan ako sa reaction nila. Para kasi silang nagulat (with a mix of derision) nung sinabi ko na nakaka-stress yung paglipat—na parang unheard of sa kanila yung feelings of stress and anxiety when moving from one place to another.
Na-appreciate ko yung “Happy wedding anniversary” greetings sa family group chat without a single comment about pagkakaron ng anak. At kung naglalaro man yun sa isip nila, I still appreciate that they held their tongues (or thumbs). It’s just so refreshing. There’s hope! Boomers are learning!!
Sana wag mabati.
Nalaman ko na nagbabasa pala ng blog ko ang mga tita ko. Hello Ate Bengsya and Ate Gigi (at kung sino pang family member na hindi ako aware) 😅 I didn’t expect na magiging interested silang magbasa ng mga sinusulat ko, kaya naman yung mga bagay na hindi pa dapat nila malaman, nagkakaron na pala sila ng idea. Nakakatawa tuloy yung mga theories nila.
I started drafting this entry nung beginning of June pa lang. Ang saya pa ng tone nung pagkakasulat ko that time. I even claimed this year to be one of the best ones. But after just a month, it went from being one of the best to one of the worst.
