Protection for a Woman in Childbirth

Mother's Day is nearing once again...i will receive lots of fresh flowers again from my daughter and co-workers and of course from my beloved better half. But sad to think also that this will be the first time that i cannot share Mother's Day with my nanay. It's been quite a while now but sometimes the thought of it hasn't sink in yet...fully. Anyways, let me share a short story of my nanay's favorite "kwentong kakaiba" when she was pregnant with me. Because i was born in ilocandia land...i will speak in her native tongue as how she always talks to me. To reminisce her ways of talking towards me.

Idiay ili tayo a San esteban , dagiti lallakay ken babbaket dida baybay-an a maturog ti naganak. kunada a no dandani aganak ti masicogen, ti aswang a kasla billet ket agtaytayab iti ngato ti balay ti aganak, kunana, "ik-ik-ik" Intono kuan, agbalin a babae sa sumiroc iti balay sa sepsepenna ti dara nga agwayaway iti naganak. ti naganak masapul a saan a pulos a maturog ti agpatpatnag, ta no makaturog ket sida ti aswang ti ubing. Dagiti tao mangipanda iti bawang iti pasamano ti tawa, agpuorda iti sibay ti tawa, agpuorda iti sibay ti masicog, sada agpuor iti nasallapid a daan a luplupot.

  3. sus, maglagay ka lang ng pizza with garlic ang onion, wala na yang mga ik-ik na yan....

    being a mom is a precious gift from GOD. But being a great MOM is the best gift you can give to your baby. I just hope Tuks will not be as tuks and as crazy as you are....... It will be good though if Tuks will have your patience and courage....
