Ang Pinagsamahan ...

.. namin ni Marie Kiel.

She told the story in pictures : please read her blog --> http://bcozilovu.blogspot.com/2008/11/hugs.html .. Thanks Kiel! It was fun to reminisce :-) Mahirap ka din kaaway siguro ang dami mong alam!

Yes, I remember that typhoon-threatening day when we found out that you're having Gael. Dapat "Yoyong" pa ang pangalan kasi nga bumabagyo. And I remember not believing that it was "positive" when you came out of the restroom. At ayaw mo ipakita ang test kasi baka mandiri ako kasi may "wiwi".

Haha! Those were the days.

Ah, and as for the "comic relief" the day we found out about bebi pacua's heartbeat (pero thank you muna ulit for being there...)

Okay, so Kiel and I were in a bit of a panic , and at that stage when we didn't know what to say to each other. But just to clear up things, I was not in any kind of physical pain ... maybe emotional shock and disbelief lang. But I was up and about.

The ultrasound OB (In My Womb sa "The Link" , the multicolored building near Landmark) advised that I go to Makati Med ER immediately -- and Kiel and I were worrying - mahirap maghanap ng taxi! Rush hour pa naman (it was around 6-6:30pm ata) . So sabi ko, wait lang wiwi lang ako then we go find a cab.

After the restroom, I found Kiel near the security guard, all smiles - "Marianna!! May sasakyan na tayo!" Kinausap pala nya yung guard para tulungan kami kumuha ng taxi. "Wow." sabi ko, "ang galing mo!"

So hintay kami, hintay -- medyo matagal. May kausap na sa walkie talkie ang guards.. Kiel even asked the guard ... "Manong nasan na ho taxi namin?"

"Ma'am,, malapit na po .. " -- ... "Ma'am ayan na po ang sasakyan!! "

And whaddayouknow, AMBULANCE po ang sumundo sa amin... with matching flashy lights!!! Yung maganda pang ambulance ha... mukang bago!

Wahh.. as in , "Marie Kieeelll anong ginawa moo.." -- we were really trying hard not to laugh.. Nagulat din siguro yung driver ng ambulance na dalawang very able girls ang umakyat sa ambulance nya.

Sabi namin sa guard .. "Manong salamat -- pero taxi lang ho talaga habol namin..." We got to Makati Med fairly quickly in rush hour traffic.

Applause to the guards and the very able security agency of "THE LINK" for helping two damsels in distress! Talk about superb customer service
