Gwen and Robbie were both excited to spend the whole weekend together with baby Elise, they will go to church and after that, to the mall. Elise will be celebrating her first birthday two months from now that is why Robbie and Gwen really prepare for it this soon. They will look for a venue after the mass, Robbie want it to be held in a restaurant while Gwen suggests it in a small function room.

“Kung sa Jollibee kaya? Para sila na lang mag-organize ng lahat, wala na tayong aasikasuhin.” Robbie says.

“Ayoko sa fastfood kagaya dun kasi hindi masusunod ang theme ko.”

“Ano bang gusto mo?”

“Syempre yung favorite nya, si Barney. Di ba baby?” Gwen turns to Elise.

As early as 9 months, Elise started to coo, she can say ‘mama’ and ‘dada’ already, and some other baby words. Gwen is very much particular in listing down Elise’s development, from the day she say a word, first time she walked without any accompaniment, and so on and so forth.

“Robbie, ano kaya kung dun na lang din natin gawin kung saan ginawa yung reception ng kasal natin? Para at least alam na nating maganda yung service.”

“Pwede rin, sige, siguro by next week magpa appoint tyo para makapag pareserve, basta ang gusto ko mismong araw ng birthday nya ah, ayoko yung hindi sakto.”

“Oo naman syempre.”

“Oh sige wag na muna natin intindihin, magenjoy muna tyo mamasyal, saan mo gusto kumain?”

“Kahit saan mas excited ako dalhin si Elise sa toyworld eh.”

“Eh hindi naman mahilig maglaro yang anak mo, pambihira nga yan kasi music at panonood ng TV ang gusto.”

“Masyado kasi advance ang mga bata ngayon, hindi ko nga halos namalayan ng mag iisang taon na sya eh.” Gwen sighed.

Robbie rested his arms at Gwen’s shoulders while she pushes Elise’s stroller.

They decided to eat in a Japanese resto, Elise is pretty sitting on a high chair while her parents enjoy the sumptuous food. Robbie mashed the potato and feed her.

Elise is a very healthy baby, except that she inherited her mom’s history of asthma, as early as 6 months, she already uses nebulizer to ease her breathing. But the good thing is that Robbie and Gwen monitors it everytime.

After lunch. “Ibili ko muna ng mga bagong damit si Elise, Robbie. Maliit na kasi yung mga pang lakad nya eh.”

Gwen picked out 6 pairs of shirt and shorts, 2 pairs of pajamas, 1 pink lovely dress that matches a white elegant shoe with lace, a walking slipper, wash cloths and a hat all from Gingersnaps which cost 4,400 all in all. Before they proceed to the counter, “Gwen ang dami naman yata nyan.”

“Okay lang Robbie, sweldo naman kahapon.”

“Gwen, oo nga pero sana praktikal naman, 4 thousand sa damit lang ng baby, ang bilis naman kaliitan sayang.”

“Walang saying pag para kay Elise, saka may allowance naman yang mga kinuha ko kaya masusuot nya ng matagal tagal.”

“Bahala ka nga. O heto cash, wag ka ng mag credit card.”

“Ah hindi wag na, dito na lang, nabalance ko na naman yan eh. Mamaya na lang yan pambili ng gatas, diaper at vitamins nya.”

While Gwen pays for the clothes, Robbie shook his head in disappointment, “Ang mommy mo, bibili pa pala ng gatas kung ano anong inuuna.”

“Oh ikaw mommy, anong gusto mong bilhin?” Robbie asked.

“Okay na ako dito, masaya na kong may bago syang stuffs.”

Robbie remembered how luxurious Gwen’s life is before they got married, she spends 10 thousand bucks for a weekly shopping courtesy of her Daddy Frank, but now, she buys things only for her baby, so Robbie decided to lead her at the jewelry shop.

“Ano namang ginagawa natin dito?” Gwen says hastily.

“Siguro magbebenta ng alahas.” He smiles.

“Pilosopo ka talaga.” Gwen tickled his ears like she used to.

“Ano bang gusto mo dito?”

“Robbie wag na, itabi mo na lang para sa baby yang pera mo.”

“Gwen, hindi. May nakalaan kay Elise, at syempre meron para sa misis ko, kaya sige na ano bang gusto mo, o ako na lang ang pipili. Ano kaya kung itong necklace na may pendant na G, for Gwen. Ah miss 24k ba yan? Patingin naman oh.”

“Robbie wag na yan ang mahal kaya nyan, tignan mo 10 thousand, naku isang buwang sahod ko na yan ano, akala ko ba maging praktikal.”

Robbie insisted to put the necklace on her neck, “Bagay na bagay sayo.” He smiled and gave her a smack on the lips.

“Kukunin ko na ito. Pwede ba ang cheke?” he kids. “Biro lang, cash!”

“Robbie hindi naman yata tama para sa ngayon yan eh.” Gwen scratched her head.

“Wag ka na kumontra, advance anniversary gift ko sa iyo yan. I love you Gwen.”

She had nothing to do but to accept his gift, she feels so lucky to have a husband like Robbie, despite the difficult times of their marriage, they still manage to carry things on and have time for each other.

“Ganyan kita kamahal, Gwen. Araw araw lalo kita minamahal.”
