Bonding With Geri

I am an OC. And being the OC that I am, I helped my Ate Rj pack her things up in the office last night. They are leaving on Wednesday (their flight was moved,, they were supposed to leave today)... Anyway, it was a nice thing to do - to somehow bond with her.. Mushy as it seems, but I will miss her. Although we're not really the sweety-sweety type of siblings, the fact that she's there and her family's just with us is definitely one thing I'll all surely miss.

My sister and her husband is really cramming for all the things they need to accomplish, the stuff they need to pack, the things they need to do... And somehow, Geri will be the ever kulit kiddo who wants to do what her mama does and would play around in the midst of a busy day.. So I took the opportunity to just go out with her and bond the whole day.

So what transpired today? Well, we went out to bond, have fun, eat, watch movie.... So from home we went to our clinic where we stayed for a while (and where I put on my contacts-- ouchie for a first timer like me..), then went to Eastwood to wait for Hunny. Geri was so nice (although sooo kulit) and fun to be with. I mean, we ate at Mcdo - no hassles. She was satisfied with her happy meal toy, her chicken and rice and orange juice.. and my fries. lolz! She played for a while in the kid's area in the middle of Eastwood then went to pick up Hun. Then off we went to Robinsons Galleria to watch Ant Bully, but unfortunately, it isn't showing there anymore.. So as not to put Geri's expectations to nothing and disappoint her so much, we went to Timezone to just unwind for a while, where she enjoyed so much - playing here, playing there and asking (with matching the tiny sweet voice) "Tito Noel" to swipe the card so the games would start - where Tito Noel would gladly oblige. Afterwards, we went to SM Megamall to find Ant Bully, and luckily (since the cinemas in SM shows movies even a month old), we were able to catch it, which made Geri's day complete. So to cap it all off, Geri fell asleep on my lap before the movie ends, and Hun carried my little (big!) baby.. and we went home.

So there.. It was a fun day bonding with my cute niece. I'll definitely miss her noise, her kakulitan, her funny antics, everything. Not to mention, a day with Hun - baby sitting. We would tell each other, what if someone we know sees us together with Geri... people might think (which, some actually did) we're married and we have a kiddo already... I would tell him..."Nah! Geri's not singkit... Her eyes are big and she doesn't look like me.. eh, we look alike" It's not the type that people may say "di mapagkakaila"

Hmmmm.. makes me wonder... Am I ready to be a mom and a wife? But just as what Hun and I agreed... "We'll get there...wag lang mamadalain".. Afterall, we're, somehow, starting to plan things up... :)
