Dear, Peanut,

People are asking if we’re back, Yeah, I guess we’re back! Aww, yiz.

We’re back in Manila and it’s almost the same since I have left more than 2 years ago. I have already lowered my expectations to avoid disappointments. I don’t want to be one of those balikbayans who continuously compare their home country and rant about it all the time.

You see, even if our country is not first-world and a lot of improvements in many sectors still need to be done, at the very least, here you can eat your favorite food. Pork is always on the menu and most of the stuff you eat won’t set your ass on fire.

There is a minimal language barrier since you will be speaking in your native language. Our health card will include maternity benefits, which will save us a bunch on your birth and check-ups.

Our family and friends are here eagerly awaiting your arrival. :)

You see son, it’s not so bad.  Life is all about perspective.

Regards,
