I shall be enough
We went to Amadeo today for the town fiesta. Anyway, usual stuff every year. Nothing new.
It’s not that I don’t like it, but our extended family/clan seems to have a male drought when it comes to my generation and the next. Almost all of my cousins and second cousins are female. All their children are female. Most of my dad’s siblings and cousins are girls too. Almost everyone is a girl! It can be very frustrating at times. I was at the living room at Lolo’s house earlier today and I looked around and all I could see were my aunts, my female cousins, and all their little girls. It’s not that I feel awkward, no, because I’m used to it. My brother and I have been often the only boys for years (until my fourth male cousin was born). But now that I’ve come to think about it, it is indeed weird! And kind of sad. Thankfully, I don’t even feel like I’m carrying a burden of being the eldest male in my generation to continue a supposed ‘patriarchal’ tradition. Haha.
Sigh. Anyway, I see I still haven’t lost my touch with babies. I adore babies. And babies love me! If only babysitting was uso here in the Philippines, I’d probably be earning a lot with loyal and satisfied parents. But unfortunately, there are too many willing nurses to employ, to ever need babysitters.
