Just came back from an overnight trip to Tagaytay. Funny how having visitors from abroad can make you appreciate what you have here in the Philippines more. There are places we went to, like horseback riding and going up the Taal V, that I wouldn't have gone to if they weren't here...
Anyway, I also spent the past few days bonding with my cousins, especially the 2 girls. I saw them last year when I visited Toronto, but I guess it's different when they're the ones visiting and I'm the one showing them around. Being the only girl in my family here, it's a little weird to have other girls in the house. I'll be the first one to tell you that, ordinarily, I'm very territorial when it comes to being the only girl in the family (also the main reason why I'm not too keen on having daughters-- I like being the princess of the house). But having them over has been super fun! We've been engaging in the high-points of girl bonding-- gossiping about celebrities, getting facials and manicures, talking about boyfriends and love lives (haha, a definite favorite!) and shopping. And, what's best, I got to bunk with women who're not my grandma or my mom! Haha! What fun it is to share a room with girls-- especially if they're family :)
Because of all this, I guess I don't mind as much not being the only girl in the family.. Maybe I should rethink this having-a-daughter thing. (wink wink)
