This occurred with many helpful, humorous letters from Alex. I only went back to defend my thesis, which was about two weeks before my first child, a daughter, was born (she was early).
Ako lang nagpunta bumalik sa ipagtanggol ang aking sanaysay, na kung saan ay tungkol sa dalawang linggo bago ang aking unang anak, ang isang anak na babae, ay ipinanganak (siya ay maagang).
