4, 3, 1?

Here are her version of the story.

Here is mine:

When Jeanette left, she gave me an heirloom (OA naman!). Pamanang aalagaan ng isang buwan.

Having pet is not new to me at all... I had dogs, cats, hens (oo noh!), hamster (which I named after my crush Carlo), turtle (gift from my MYQ) and fish. Nature ko na rin din talaga ang mag-mother ng mga hayop, halaman (orchids, rose, 7 fingers –hahaha!) at tao.

But it stopped since I came in Dubai.

Anyways, when Jeanette left her 3 pets to me it makes feel like I am a ‘mom’ again. She reminded me to feed the 3 gold fishes every morning and bath them over the weekend.

It was Sunday, the first day I fulfilled my assignment – I was afraid.

I was looking at them before giving food. Un isa nahiwalay - mukhang nagtatampo? OP? o nagseselos?. Kasi ung dalawa nyang friends ay magkaharap – almost kissing – nagmomoment na naman. Pero both of them were not moving.

Ang dating 4 na naging 3, mukhang magiging 1 na lang!???

Patay n ba sila? Patay ako kay jeanette!!!

So I dipped my finger dun sa 2 magkatabi to move. They moved naman, pero 1cm lang ang langoy.

Hala!!! Natakot ako.

Hinalo-halo ko yung water to move them. Ayaw pa rin talaga.

Naisip ko… na brainfreeze n naman ba sila o baka na ‘heartfreeze’ kasi namimiss ang nanay nila (wussshuuu!).

Kinabahan ako. At naisip ko na unang araw pa lang eh mukhang bagsak na ako.

Naisip ko silang bigyan ng food. Pero I didn’t know how much fish food to give – baka maimpacho o baka hindi enough for the whole day.

Nang bumagsak ang food sa water. Bigla na silang gumalaw lahat. Waaaaa! Gutom lang pala kaya hindi gumagalaw!!!

Hayun, kumain ng kumain.

Ako naman, tinititigan ko lang sila.

Nalate tuloy ako sa office kakahintay na matapos nila ang pagkain. Pero hindi pala possible un kasi mababagal silang kumain!

It’s my 6th day as their mom. And I am enjoying it.

Great experience. Ma-nice =)
