The other day, I got fined $150 dollars. For an overspeeding ticket. I was running at 53 kph on a school zone. I would have gladly slowed down to 40 kph, that is if I saw the sign. But I never did and the GPS didn't beep either. It was a classic case of bad luck.
It almost ruined my day, but I figured. I wasn't so unlucky at all. I got the house we wanted on my birthday and our family was not affected so much by the flood. So any stroke of misfortune would just be peanuts.
Lesson learned. Slow down and down shift your gear when the signs say so.
Come to think of it, moving to Perth is a way for Tatay to slow down. Here I can sleep 8 hours a day again, work during the day and sleep at night. I was also able to cut down on my eating so now I am less overweight. If you haven't noticed, I am able to write on this blog again.
I made a few revolutionary changes too. From www.penaranda-twins.blogspot.com, our blog is now:
www.penaranda-kids.blogspot.com.\
Why the name change? Because we are speeding up to Third gear!
Thirdy, its your first birthday today! This is one of my favorite pictures of you.
Your smile makes me smile. You may not look like me, may not be my mini me but you always be my Thirdy. I gave you Lolo Ben's name and call you by the nickname Mama Ellie calls me with. "Doy".
That's it for now. Need to slow down and get back to sleep. Mission has been accomplished. I , your Tatay am the first person to greet you on your first birthday.
No one can top that.
