Exquisite Cream of Broccoli 

Get in touch with your soul for just 330 pesos, only at Fiesta San Miguel

Somehow, moments of epiphany strike me at the most awkward moments.

Last Friday my friends and I decided to give Fiesta San Miguel at Dusit Hotel a shot. The principal attraction, drink all you can for 330 pesos; and, with an in-house microbrewery, the draught was smooth and well chilled.

One hour and two liters of beer later I was feeling quite fine. It was at this precise moment that I was struck with an astounding realization, I would be a father in four months! Dumbfounded, I blinked blearily at my brew, then broke into a smile as an overwhelming joy rose from the depths of my soul to sweep my consciousness to levels previously uncharted. (Then again, it may have just been the beer).

The question that always stumps me now is, "Anong gusto mo? Boy o girl?". This totally floors me because I still cannot get over the fact that there is no lisensure board for being a parent that I am still unable to get my brain around the concept of the astounding mystery that is the creation of life.

To sum it up succinctly, "I did that?!? Wow!"

At this moment, the shallow preference of gender is drowned by the flood of emotions that the new baby brings. I am simply too lucky to have a child on the way! I don't know what I did right, but thank the Lord seven times seventy times for this gift!

"Basta baby, masaya na ako."
