This week's news

Did you know so many things happened the past week aside from my Lola Fely's and your Lolo Nestor's birthday?

1. Lady Gaga was unstoppable amidst the rallyists' cries for the cancellation of her 2-day concert in Manila because some closed-minded people think she's satanic and a bad role model for the youth.
--- I think these people have nothing better to do. I like some of her songs but find the others too weird for my taste and I am in no way satanic nor vulgar. I do find her outfits ridiculous but not even a topic for discussion. Why do people have to be so affected by it? When you're a bit older I'll show you what she looks like and you tell me if she's weird. Now I wonder how will the pop artists of your time will look like? I shudder at the thought but I guess you'll be just like me, nonchalant about these things. I did find some of the concertgoers' outfits quite hilarious, though. I probably would have watched had it been a year ago when I was still digging her songs.

2. Chief Justice Corona stages drama which just left the impeachment court and the TV audience irritated and exasperated with what Philippine politics and the justice system has turned out nowadays.
--- This is a piece of news that just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The paawa effect and all the crying makes me puke. The chief justice trying to wriggle his way out of the mess he had created, the millions of dollars and pesos to his name, his hypoglycemic episode, haaaaay! It makes me sad to think that you will be born in a world of biases, dishonesty, dirty politics, lame excuses, and people who insult other people's intelligence. This may be far-fetched, but I hope and pray that the good still prevails everytime.

3. Philip Phillips wins American Idol Season 11.
--- Your Daddy and I have been avid viewers of the show, and it came to a point where we didn't mind if Philip or Jessica Sanchez won. However, when news spread that he needed a kidney operation, I thought it was a lame excuse to get sympathy votes, so I decided to bet on Jessica because of Filipino pride as well. We were able to vote several times, but I guess middle America still can't get enough of WGWGs (white guys with guitars). I know how some people have vehemently reacted to the results, but I guess everyone's pacified by now, since there's news that Tommy Mottola has already signed her up for a recording deal. I wonder if you'll be as musically talented as her? Haha. Mommy wouldn't mind whatever you get yourself into, be it sports, music, literature or the arts. Heck, you can even get into practical shooting with your dad if we can afford it!I asked him one time, and he said it would be nice if you'll end up a doctor or lawyer later on. I wouldn't mind if you turn out to be a teacher like me. As long as you stay right on track at least most of the time, you won't hear anything from me.

4. Mommy is 35 weeks pregnant!
--- Sorry baby Georgia if at times Mommy's just quiet or she complains a lot. I'm actually having a very difficult time already carrying you and honestly I really want this pregnancy to get over with! I visited the doctor last Friday and she told me I should really watch what I eat, considering you'll still grow 200-300grams a week and when I continue eating as I've been, I might deliver you C-section and that's something that we are really trying to avoid. My tummy's always itchy, I have a hard time finding a good sleeping position, and I can no longer endure a shopping errand! To think that I used to spend a whole day at the mall just a few years ago. Your Lola Baby helped us fix our condo for your arrival and we spent yesterday afternoon buying stuff for you. My feet just killed me and it was just under 2 hours! It actually made me worry because that meant I was already too heavy for my feet which have become swollen when we got home. It didn't ended there; we had to fix the closets, take out stuff, clean the rooms, set up the crib and the electric rocker, and so many other things that left your dad and me extremely tired and hungry at 9pm. Well at least everything's ready, we might even have somebody to help me at home when you arrive! I just have to pack our stuff for the hospital and we're good to go!

We have around a month to go, or maybe as short as 2 weeks I can't believe I'll be able to hold you in my arms!!!
