They say life begins at 40...
if that is so, then you are about to turm one...
I'll give you a peek of the story of the guy named RORY:
You will be the firstborn of your loving parents Al & Ruth--- (thought bubble: they probably thought you'd be a girl, coz your Mom was very pretty all throughout her pregnancy... hence, the name RORY...)
Baby Rory, you will be a very smart kid and someone very famous in school (or so you thought).
- You will be a Valedictorian one day... good job! Kudos to your Mommy and Daddy who will play such big roles in making you not just a smart and famous boy but also a handsome and a happy one... ok let's fast forward a bit, in high school you will still be as smart as always but not as competitive anymore, you will give way for others to shine.
- You will start to fall in love with music more than your books... make friends because of the bond you will have with people after a soulful epiphany at at recollection (the need to have friends to share your life's little secrets and boys' stuff too)... but you will still gonna make it to your dream school (ok let's be honest, THE ONLY SCHOOL YOU KNOW YOUR PARENTS CAN AFFORD & because of the love you have for your siblings who will come after you, you will prefer to go to a prestigious state University)...
- After 3 years you, will meet a new friend (a girl, of course, through your erstwhile high school classmate - she will introduce you to her gorgeous cousin) just in time when you will need a company because your parents will need help from someone- a nanny perhaps because your two youngest sibling (a toddler and a newborn will need someone to take good care of them) being the loving son that you will always be, you will decide to take a leave of absence for a semester.
- Never in your wildest dream have you seen yourself falling for your bestfriend who will just be there to help you take care of your beloved siblings (neither she will see herself being around you because for her you will just be a "friend", by the time you meet her, she already has a life - a bestfriend and a "future" that her father had planned for her-)
- When you go back to school, you will realize that that same girl whom you will spend time for a semester off from school will also be the same girl you will never get by without. You will look for her. Your life from then on will be just about her. You will find yourself insanely in love with that person who will only consider you a friend...
- You will always be by her side and she will face a lot of struggles and you (being the knight in shining armor you have always dreamt of becoming hahaha - ako nagkukwento, so ako syempre bida!- you will try to save her) she will never choose you because she will feel that you will be too clingy, too poor, (though brainy) too weak for her to lean on. But you will prove yourself worthy (by taking advantage of her weakness- again, uulitin ko kwento ko kaya ako ang bida- kwento ka para ikaw naman ang bida hahaha- you will get her pregnant) she will run away but you will never leave her side not let her go and will hold on to the baby she will carry---user lang--- hahaha... then you will get married against your parents will and will prove yourself worthy of a chance to the parents of your baby's mother. They will give you the chance (kasi hello "matutulog" ka sa tapat ng bahay nila!?! Duh?!)...
- 20 years and a hundred plus lbs later you will find yourself in a place you have never imagined yourself to be at and in a situation you never dreamt of to be in, you will be able to fix all the damages done to the ones who matter to you, deal with all the littlest and greatest struggles because you will be the Strongest Super Hero ever, you will prove the impossible : possible, hence----
- You will end up with the person you have always dreamed of HAVING AND BEING YOURS - SHE WILL BE YOURS "VOLUPTUOUS" BODY, "BEAUTIFUL" MIND (yung pa-schizo na ay gifted pala) AND "GOOD" SOUL ALONG (downside: she comes WITH FACTORY DEFECTS THAT YOU WILL ONLY LEARN ABOUT 16 YEARS LATER BUT DON'T WORRY SHE WILL GROW OLD WITH YOU BECAUSE SHE WILL MAKE YOU HER GREATEST LOVE OF ALL - Lucky you, ang ganda siguro talaga nun--- (again kwento ko to AKO ANG BIDA HAHA)... and
- You will be proud of being able to raise a beautiful boy who flies a plane, drives a bimmer, speaks French, Spanish, English, TAGALOG fluently- a bit of German and understands a little Nihonggo (but couldn't speak it), an achiever just like you (only far much good-looking-thanks to his Mom's genes), loves music (composes and sings way better than you can- hence you will give him his own lil recording studio corner along with the gadgets needed), makes you proud of all his achievements but will bet real money: he's a high maintenance baby... because growing up he will not ask you for toys but when he turns 16 he will start wanting to play guitar, keyboard, go places (out of the country), just like you he will be so engrossed with photography and pricey lens and lights and will even ask for a studio, eats like a true blue growing boy (and oh boy, coursed meals), he will want to have lots of headphones from music playing to Pilot/Aviation noise-reduction types, will ask for Vinyls and of course its player, a car (he will just mention liking to have one but you will give it to him as a gift-because YOU WILL BE A DADDY ANY KID WOULD WANT TO HAVE, oh by the way, when will I have one Dadeeeeyyy🤣), he will shock you with Sky Hawk's expenses... that will be the reason you will eventually thank God for having just one kid (after all one is more than enough- even though you and your GF in college dreamed of having at least 4 or 5 because you both love kids)...
- Your BEAUTIFUL story will go on and on and it will only get better and better as time goes by...
Here's my advice for you, Baby Boy:
Live. Laugh. Love.
Live life.
Love it.
Then whenever it gets tough --- just LAUGH!
You will always be that smart, cute, loving little boy and clearly, having you will always be the most beautiful thing that will ever happen to me (when you turn 19) and Jacob (when you turn 21)...
Always begin with this story in mind because you will have no regrets!
Or will you have you?! We'll see when you turn 40...
but for now... Enjoy being 1!
HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY BIG BABY BOY!
Come to Mama, come to Mama!
Peek-a-boo!
