Birthmark
Every so often it becomes noticeable. I think Obiwan has a birthmark. It's above his right eye almost near where his hairline should be. Of course his hairline is also not noticeable. It's a spot that's a little darker or redder than his complexion.
I'm sure most if not all people have a birthmark of some sort. But in his case, it's little bit more familiar. He may just grow up to be a head of a country.

Fun Facts
Obiwan and I were both born in Makati Medical Center. And I just found out that we were both born on a Friday.
:D

Cho Nam
A memory I have when I was less than 10 years old was when my father would bring me to Quiapo. I don't remember why we were there but we would always have lunch at Cho Nam Panciteria. What I remember most about it was its facade. There wasn't anything extraordinary about how it looked but compared to Baliwag, Bulacan or Novaliches, Quezon City where we lived, Quiapo was very different. It was full of people and the streets were full of action.
Today, I found myself passing by Quiapo. It was time for lunch and I simply had to go to Cho Nam. It hasn't changed. But I realized that there wasn't anything special about the place after all. The food was plain. The people were indifferent. And the place was old. When I was a child, it was a special place. Maybe because it's the place where my father and I shared. He didn't bring anyone else in the family there. Or at least not that I'm aware of.
This is what I want to share with Obiwan. I want to show him places that would broaden his mind and add to his experiences. He has me as a guide to show him everything I can before he starts exploring on his own.
Good plan.

Cerelac Gold
The doctor instructed us to introduce Cerelac Gold to Obiwan. At the time I thought it was a very fancy name. But after scouring different grocery stores and coming out empty handed, now I think it was named that way because it's as rare as gold. There are a few more stores to try. After that, I may just need to start digging and mining for it.

Word from Doc
We went to Obiwan's pedia the other day for his vaccine. Doc said Obiwan is healthy but he's not obese. The thought did cross my mind a couple of times but the doctor assured me that he isn't obese until he looks like Bibendum.
Doc also said that we can start introducing solid foods. Not as a substitute to milk but just to get him acquainted. He grows up so fast. At this rate, he'll get married before I do.

Bye Obiwan
Obiwan will be spending the summer at his greatgrandmother's house in Baliwag, Bulacan. He'll get to see where I grew up. I hope I can drop by every so often.
