Visioning my grandkids

(image from HERE)

So there we were, about to go to bed.

And K says that he wants 3 kids. In fact, he’s named them already! The first two will be boys, Nicholas (he wanted to name the eldest “nickels” but when I suggested Nicholas, he seemed to like it) and the 2nd boy, Carlo (this was said very spontaneously, seemingly with a lot of thought). It took him a while to name the girl. And by the time he figured out a name for the girl, he already wanted SIX children (with SIX yayas, take note!)

He is naming his 4th child (and 3rd son) P, Jr. and the 5th child (and 4th son) K, Jr. after his kuya and himself. Then he figures out what he wants to name the girls. Brianna and Brianna Jr. Apparently, “Brianna” is the name of the sister of Kick Buttowski.

That all send and done, I figure S and I will have some six grandkids from him. Waiting to hear what P has planned.

Reconnecting with Old Friends

I wrote about my 2010 goals in the beginning of the year. While I have yet to fulfill the rest (I’m doing good with #4, #5 and #6 these days), I’ve been trying to fulfill #7 quite well.

I did take a trip to visit my BFF who’s been living there for more than 20++ years! I had that long postponed lunch with a friend from university, and I finally had dinner last night with two friends from way back. We were together in the student council in highschool.

And it’s been great! I realize today that I have friends I can count on (is it because we all have begun to realize that we have lives to live on our own, aside from our husband and kids??). For a while, I’d be so sad that I didn’t have girlfriends to call for nights out. But then, I now know it’s what I choose to do!

And I choose to reconnect with my friends, I choose to make new ones, I choose to live my life, distinct, though connected, with my family.
