Journal Entry #1
Hi, I'm Alexa Montes. Seven years old. This is my first time na magsusulat ako ng journal, nagsulat ako dito dahil wala na talaga akong mapaglabasan ng sama ng loob, my life is perfect. Everything is so fine. I have everything I wanted, my amazing parents, sweet grandparents, cool titas and titos and great friends. I'm so contented in my life, I have no younger brother/sister and I never ever wish na magkaroon ako ng kapatid, I'm satisfied with my life, kontento na ko kila mommy, daddy, granny F, grandpa A, granny T, grandpa E, tito Gian, tita Micah, Selene and Niobe. Many people keep asking me, kung gusto ko daw magkaroon ng kapatid? I don't understand why people asking me that question over and over again, can't they see na I'm very happy with my life? But I guess nothing really lasts forever. My perfect world shatters when my mom and dad announced something na hindi ko ineexpect na marinig ko sa kanila.

"Mom, Dad! I'm home!"
Masayang-masaya ako pagkauwi ko sa bahay, I'm so excited na sabihin kila mommy na nakaperfect ako sa quarterly exam namin sa Science. I'm sure na bibigyan ako ni daddy ng prize and ipagluluto naman ako ni mommy ng favorite kong ulam.
Pagkabukas ko ng pinto nagulat ako na kumpleto silang lahat sa sala. Mom, dad, granny F, grandpa A, granny T, grandpa E, Tito Gian and Tita Micah. Mom and Granny A are crying, samantala si daddy and Tito Gian ay masyadong busy sa pagtawa at pagngiti, masyado silang busy sa kanilang pinaguusapan, sa tingin ko nga hindi narinig ni mommy and daddy ang sigaw ko kanina. Owkay? What's happening?
"Hello! I'm home!" napatigil silang lahat sa pagkwekwentuhan at napalingon sakin, ngumiti ako saka kumaway.
"Alexa! Come here may good news ang mommy at daddy mo" wika ni Tita Micah, good news? What is it? Out of town? OMG naalala ko 'yung sinabi ni daddy one week ago he promised me na kapag nakatapos ang exam ko magoout of town kami sa Disney Land! OMG! Bukas na ba yon? This is the last day of our quartely exam, I guess ito 'yung good news na tinutukoy ni Tita Micah?
"Ako din po may good news" nakangiting wika ko sa kanila, saka lumapit sa kanila, nagbless ako kila grannies and grandpas, ganun din ang ginawa ko kila tito and tita, hinalkan ko naman sa cheeks sila dad and mom, and kiniss rin nila ako sa cheeks.
"So ano po 'yung good news?" natahimik silang lahat saka nakangiting lumingon kila mommy, lumingon si mommy kay daddy, nginitian naman ni daddy si mommy at hinalkan ito sa noo
"I'm pregnant!" masayang wika ni mommy, wh-what? litong lito akong lumingon kay daddy
"Finally magkakaroon ka na ng younger sister!" wika naman ni daddy saka hinawakan ang tummy ni mommy, kumurap-kurap ako sa harap nila, what? did i heard it right?
"Hon, we're not sure if the baby is a girl" wika naman ni mommy, "the baby" para akong kinilabutan nang marinig iyon galing kay mommy, what is this? Isa ba 'tong kind of nightmare? Unti-unti ako humalakhak
"Hahaha! What a funny news dad, its joke time po ba?" I said while laughing, napatigil naman sila ng pagngiti
"Alexa" napatigil ako ng pagtawa nang naging seryoso ang mukha ni daddy
