A Filipino American's new life
I was starving and a bit dizzy and exhausted from a bad landing by the time I arrived at the waiting area at Heathrow where my husband was waiting for me. It was wet, cold, and windy which made it more difficult for the pilot to maneuver. We were up in the air again for another 15 minutes after the first try before we were able to land.
My pregnancy was not planned at all, but like many other women I've thought about it and wanted to have a child one day. However, I did not expect it will come now and not this quick. When the test result was positive. I do not know how or what I felt at that moment - I was just STUNNED! On the one hand, I was grinning, I was so happy, but on the other hand I was so scared that Michael will get upset or might turn his back and not take responsibility.
Home is really where the heart is and I know California has been my home for the past thirteen years, but it is also time to build my new home with Michael and our baby. Goodbye for now, Los Angeles, and see you some other time.
