But am still posting this, anyway.
To my dearest niece, the second borloloy and self-appointed muse in the family:
From all of us here, with love. I feel a pinch in my heart every time I see her on the webcam blowing kisses to me whom she has never seen in person yet, and I missed the chance of holding her when she was still an infant. Oh well, this is what I get for living away from family: missing family milestones. *sniff* I hope to see her soon before she turns 18!
I borrowed Toe's, term, borloloy, and, like her, I use borloloy with much endearment to refer to my nephew and niece, offsprings of my brother and sister.
Oh, Beebop is soooo cute! Diba sobrang bagay silang tawagin na borloloy! :) No matter how big they get, they're still borloloys. :)
Hey, did you vote? Sorry, I didn't tell you... I don't go on duty on weekends. Iba kc committee ko e. :(
I so empathize with you, ZJ--that is, being away and missing the milestones of our beloved borloloys. I hope you will be able to connect with her when she is older (but before 18, that is). :)
Oo nga, Toe. Thanks to you, borloloy took on another meaning :D.
No worries, I'll go and ask for you again this week.
Thanks, Gypsy!
Oo nga e, sana before Beebop turns 18 e makita ko man lang ang kakulitan niya. At the rate my work is doing, mukhang matatagalan pa. Hanggang webcam na lang muna kami.
hi ZJ,

Jean,
Phnom Penh has changed a lot! I am sure you will be surprised when you come visit here.
ZJ, guess what... I won't be going to the office this week... I have chicken pox!!!! :( Take care... uso daw ngayon sabi ni Dr. Marissa.
Chicken pox!!! Naku, uso nga yan kahit dun sa target villages namin. Mainit kasi. Get well soon... you might need a cream for the scabs, it could get very itchy.
