Hi there! My name is Jacjac, at least that is what my dad is calling me. I am just a few months old and my daddy is taking care of me. Today was a pretty tiring day, I rolled over for the first time and I cried when I couldn't get my hand free from under my tummy. It's not because I'm weak or anything, it is just our bed was too soft and too comfortable for my liking.

Anyway, I am just blabbering here talking about nothing and I just wanted to tell you the story my dad told me this morning. Every morning he feeds me from that little bottle and I don't know why but he started to tell me a story. I really enjoy his stories, especially at night when he is putting me to sleep. This particular story is about him and mommy which happened years ago before I even existed.

It was back then when they were still dating. My daddy was working as a programmer of some sort and he went to my mom's office to pick her up for dinner. He kissed her, and she hugged her, and yes, his story made it sound so cheesy but I like it the way it is. I can feel the love they have for each other and it is resonating in my personality.

"Where do you want to eat?" he asked.

She paused for a bit, thought about it, and dismissed the conversation with a puzzling, "it's up to you."

While they are en route to the mall my daddy was lost in thoughts still thinking about where they would eat. He tried to ask again.

"What are you in the mood for? Japanese? Korean? Italian? Chinese?"

She took a little bit of time again in silence. It was evident on her face that she was contemplating what to eat for dinner. After a minute or so of thinking hard in silence, she replied, "You know what, I am really not that hungry so, I'll let you choose. Nothing is really coming into me."

"Hmmm. Okay then."

A few more minutes passed by and they arrived at the mall. While at the parking lot my daddy asked again, "Alright, let me narrow it down. Japanese or Korean?"

He felt that it was a mistake to ask again, the annoyance is now subtly showing on her face. Her lips were contorting into something not really good, it was not a frown but it was not good either.

He quickly tried to patch things up and he hurriedly said "Okay, let's go Japanese." Not even a 'yes' or 'hmm hmm' but she heeded the decision and they decided to go to a Japanese restaurant.

They arrived at the restaurant and they were seated at a table after a few minutes of waiting. The menu was given to them by the waitress. Daddy looked over it and glanced at my mommy. He thought that he may be needed to be assertive and a bit initiative so he placed an order for both of them. Without any expressions on her face, she put the menu down.

He asked her if she wanted anything else and she just shook her head with a faint "it's okay."

An awkward silence ensued with some pitiful attempts of my daddy for small talks. She was just sitting there scrolling through her mobile phone. She only put it down when the food arrived.

In the end, she only ate a few pieces of Maki roll and some slices of sashimi so there was a lot of leftover food on the table.

Worried, my daddy then asked her if everything was alright. Then she answered him with an annoyed tone. "You didn't even ask me what to order, the food you ordered all has shrimp in them, I'm not in the mood to eat shrimp. A little consideration next time will be appreciated."

Daddy told me that he wanted to talk back and explained that he was asking her to pick the place to eat because he knows that her "moods" affect her appetite and the food that she could and could not eat. He wanted to tell her that he was being considerate from the very beginning but she was not answering properly, of course, he did not say any of that, a slap across the face is not a good dessert after all. Instead, he just apologized and held her. All is well that ends well.

And that's all I could remember from our story this morning, and I am feeling so tired narrating all of this. Let me just wail for a bit and ask my daddy to carry me in his arms until I fall asleep. Till next time...:)
