My Birthday

It was Sunday morning, August 15, 2004 at about 9.24 when I was born in Iloilo Doctors Hospital, Iloilo City. It was a sunny day.

My attending physician was Dra. Espanta, while that of my Mommy was Dr. Marilou Papilota Juan Loa.

The biggest world event then was an Olympics Games.

When I was brought in to the nursery room, I was the longest, 47 centimeters and 3.7 kilograms, among the children in that room.

And when I cried, I opened my mouth so wide as if I were an opera singer.

I could not immediately sleep with my mother because I was born via caesarian method.

My mother had a goiter and the doctor who followed my mother's pregnancy had advised my mother that I be born through the caesarian.

My parents, my grandparents were all very happy of my birth because I came out normal.

My mother had been taking several medicines before my birth, medicines for her goiter and my health.

After two days, my parents brought me home in Bolilao, Mandurriao, Iloilo City.
