Seeing Double

Early Friday morning, Raffy gave a lecture on Media Law in a seminar for Batangas and Mindoro journalists sponsored by the UP College of Mass Communication and Shell Exploration so we decided to make a trip out of it. After Baz's class which ended at 2 pm, we all drove to Tagaytay. Grandma and Gramps, as well as Auntie Ritchie and Grauntie Neny were there too.

For dinner, we went to The Boutique Bed & Breakfast along Aguinaldo Hi-way. It was a refreshing change from the usual hotel look and feel and lived up to its name. It felt like a smaller W. Hadrien loved the lounge/beds in the lobby and couldn't be dissuaded from lying on it (not even the mention of how many b_tts did you know what on it managed to gross him out of the bed).

Baz, on the other hand, discovered what it was like to have a twin. Auntie Ritchie captured those moments as well as what were probably Baz's thought bubbles here -


Actually, Baz had a twin! A dermoid cyst which had to be taken out when Baz was about 19 weeks in utero. An unsightly mass of muscle tissue, hair, teeth and bone which was all of 10", roughly the size of a large avocado. (Or was it my twin? Remember that line in the My Big Fat Greek Wedding?) Sorry, Baz, your twin is nowhere as cute as you.
