2 Father's Day
Today, we celebrate the Father's Day. Here in our flat, only two of us are already fathers. This weekend, one of them went back to Philippines to celebrate his son's baptism on Father's Day. So only me was celebrating here at the house. Happy Father's Day to all fathers.

0 BCG for my baby
Earlier today, my baby's pediatrician administered another vaccine to her. It's called BCG or Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine. This is for preventing my baby from acquiring tuberculosis. Last June 13, the doctor also gave her the second shot vaccine against hepatitis-b.
That time, she was out of breath when she her skin was punctured and cried afterward. My heart was broken when I saw my baby cried like that. It was heartbreaking, really. I couldn't do anything but to pretend that it did not affect me at all.
Today, my wife told me that my baby didn't cry when she was given the BCG vaccine. But she cried when they wrapped her in a blanket and held them to prevent the baby from moving while she was being vaccinated.

131 Invitation Letter from Philippine Embassy
For those who want to go to Singapore, sometimes it is required by an immigration official to present an invitation letter from a relative or friend who is in Singapore. Last time, when I went here, I only have an invitation from my sister which was just a simple invitation letter with her name and IC number.
What I heard from my friends, right now they require an invitation letter signed by officials from the Philippine Embassy here in Singapore. This invitation letter should be applied personally in the embassy and has a fee($45?). My housemate went there last Wednesday and he was in for a surprise. The invitation letter will be processed for several days and you would only be able to get a copy after that time. Not recommended for those who procrastinate. If you have friends or relatives who plans to visit you, try to get an invitation letter as soon as possible.

0 Going back is hard
This time, it was the hardest. I had to free myself from selfishness and needed to overcome any force to stay. I needed to get back here to work to be able to give anything for my family. But, this time was the hardest. I was unable to sleep after arriving at the flat. I had to take MC to rest and regroup my thoughts. I have a broken heart, that can only be healed if I'm with my two angels. T_T
