Christmas is coming and I can’t help but look forward to give my gifts to my little goddaughter & nephew, 2 young cousins, my mom and dad, of course, my beloved lola, aunts and uncles. We are not much in the family actually, on my father side, I only have 4 first cousins, born from the families of my father’s 2 siblings. There is no population growth in our family since each family only had 2 kids, like the kids are just replacing the existence of their parents. This thought made me remember the fate of the Buendia Family of G.G. Marquez’ “One Hundred Years of Solitude” – that in the end, all the offspring of the Buendia Family were wiped out from the face of Macondo. J And I plan not to have more than 2 kids, so I guess we’re not contributing to the population problem in the Philippines (if there is).
