How's your day going? Super chill, which is a nice change after the hectic last couple of days. Went to the mall with my family this morning to have lunch, discovered the gift that is spicy tuna salad, bought myself iced coffe and a container of pink slime, and spent the whole afternoon just playing my new favorite app, Bitlife. What shape is your face? It’s square-ish, which I hated so much when I was younger because I thought it made my face look abnormal (cause no one else in school had a square face) and that it gave me such a wide jaw. Nowadays I embrace it precisely for the reason that it’s not a common Filipino feature, and because it gives me a really good jawline. What sort of computer are you on right now? I’m on a Macbook Air. What's your favorite restaurant? I have a lot of favorites depending on the cuisine, but in general Yabu easily takes the cake. Torch is a favorite if I wanna spend on really good sushi. Mama Lou’s is my favorite Italian place; Marugame Udon is my favorite if I wanna have a budget-friendly meal; Mesa is my go-to for Filipino food. What does your umbrella look like? I used to have a pink umbrella with a faint print on it, but as with all things I own, I eventually lost it.

Do you share a room with anyone? My dog. Are you superstitious? Only when it comes to Oble, my university’s symbol. I’ve explained the supersition on an old survey but it’s an easy Google search if anyone’s curious. Do you believe in astrology? NO. Take the vowels out of your name. What does it spell? Rbyn. Do you eat breakfast every day? No. That’s the meal I easily miss out on; I usually just have a big lunch to make up for it. You can go back in time and slap one historical figure in the face. Who? Ferdinand Marcos, former President and dictator and forever a thief and liar. Do you have socks on? Describe them. Nope. I go barefoot in the house. Pick up your cell phone for a second. Who's your first text from? The first text I got *today was from my girlfriend, letting me know she had just woken up. Fourth missed call? My mom. Are you one of those people who has like a hundred apps on their phone? Noooooo. I never let my phone rack up too many apps. Have you ever been to the ballet? I’ve seen ballet recitals before, but I’ve never been a legit production. It’s one of the things on my bucket list. Do you have good reflexes? Yes, all thanks to all my years of table tennis. Do you have many internet friends? I used to have a lot when I was still an active fangirl on Twitter/Tumblr haha. The most fun I had was with the AJPunk fandom; I had a reeeeeally big and close circle of friends from the States and all over Europe. My sleeping schedule was insane at the time because I’d stay up to talk to them and bond over fanfic updates, new AJPunk scenes, and IRL spottings of the two. While we’ve grown apart in the last few years it’ll always remain a really fond memory for me. Do you think those friendships are on level with your real life ones? It used to be. They’d be the first people I’d talk to before the school bus picked me up and the last before I’d turn in for bed. Do you keep a journal? This Tumblr, pretty much. Describe for me your ideal sandwich. Banh mi in general. I don’t really have an ideal recipe. What are some names that you like? Olivia, Mia, Ines, Elizabeth, Scarlett, Isabella, Emma to name a few. Is there something you're putting off doing in favor of this survey? Not really. I kinda did my main task this afternoon, so I’m good for tonight. Are your friends generally like you or different from you? We’re all different in our own ways. Jo and Laurice are very chatty, JM is super closed off, Aya is a great artist, Kate's social skills are top-notch, Luisa is into sports. I’m none of those. Link me to a picture you think is cute. Egh. Do you like blowing bubbles? I loved it as a kid and I’m pretty sure I’ll still like it now.

What's the band that you love even though you know they're awful? That’s not what I think about the bands I listen to. Ever had a pillow fight? Maybe when I was younger. What do you usually pick in truth or dare? Truth. I have no problem being honest about anything. Are you better at posing good questions or coming up with outrageous dares? I’m a journalism student, so the questions. Vinyl, cassette, CD or MP3? I’d pick vinyl, even if I don’t own any or have a record player. But the reason I picked it is that Gab and I drop by Satchmi sometimes and test the record players and they sound amazing. Do you coo over other people's babies? I always would at the first chance. What is something that makes you very squeamish? Blood. Gab has nosebleeds semi-regularly and as much as I love her, that’s the one thing I can barely help her with. Like I’d get her tissues, but I literally would not look at her while it’s happening, because I will absolutely feel like vomiting. Do you try those as-seen-on-TV things? I wouldn’t buy them but if I saw them in real life and was offered the chance to test them, I would. Has there been a celebrity death that really affected you? Chyna. She died on my birthday and I cried for a while when I read the news. Do you get the dressing on the salad or on the side? All over the salad. Do you make lists, or are you more of an unplanned person? I make lists for almost everything. If you're out of high school, have you stayed in touch with your high school friends? If you're still in school, do you think you will? Yes. I follow most of them on social media. We’re a close batch, and we’re not letting go of each other that easily. Is there something you like to eat that most people think is gross? SEAFOOD!!! As someone who’s from an archipelago and whose entire culture is defined by seafood, I almost get hurt whenever I see people viewing fish or shrimp or oysters or mussels as ‘disgusting’ looooool cause it’s like why tho :// I respect tastes but don’t call it disgusting??? Do you have a lot of photographs of your friends? I have quite a bit, yes. Do you dye your hair regularly? I’ve never dyed my hair. Do you think, if it came down to it, that you'd be able to kill someone? If they did anything to a loved one and if I would be able to get away with it, yes. Are you good at rating things? I’m not sure, I’ve never had to rate a lot of things. What's a movie that you want to see? Midsommar. What was the name of your third grade teacher? Ms. Adette. She was also our math teacher. She was very motherly but the year she taught us was her last year in the school too since her family was moving to Oman. Are you a competitive person? Yeah. I can’t help it. Do you get into a lot of arguments? I try not to because I hate losing thanks to the aforementioned competitiveness. Do you like to go shopping? When my dad is around to buy the stuff, yes. HAHA Can you knit? Nope. I didn’t give a shit in sixth grade home econ. Do you use the same username everywhere online or do you have a lot? Yeah I used to use robyncanrana for everything, but lately I’ve been going with simply my first and last name. What's something that you really like about yourself? I’m a good worker and I never leave anything undone. Can you pass for older than you are? Not at all, I look like I’m 15. Have you ever been in a situation where that was necessary? Yeah, for when I need to get out of driving violation tickets. Do you talk a lot? If I’m comfortable with someone, I can. I’m still a listener at heart though. Are you a Facebook creeper? No, I hate Facebook. What is a smell that you hate? Spoiled rice. If you don't set your alarm clock or anything, when will you wake up? I’d still wake up pretty early. Do you even use an alarm clock, or do you just use your phone? I use the Alarm feature on my phone. Do you watch Maury or Steve Wilkos or anything like that? No. What did you get your best friend for their last birthday? I wasn’t with Gab during her most recent birthday. What did they get you for yours? She wasn’t with me for mine. Are you capable of finishing a game of Monopoly? I’ve never played Monopoly and never really plan to; it looks so boring and complicated. What is a word or phrase that you overuse? “Literally,” “like,” and “at the end of the day.” The last one I got because my internship boss used it for eeeeeevery fuuuucking senteeeeence it was insane. I caught it eventually. What's your favorite painting? Anything Monet. Have you ever written to your congressman? I haven’t. Did you get sent those free AOL discs a lot? Nope. Are you allergic to anything? I am not. What are you going to do now that you're finished with this survey? Check my Twitter timeline.

everything has changed

Sylvie had no idea on how her life was going to change. If antonio and her could keep their hands off of each other, she wouldn't be in this position. But here she was at med, waiting for her test results. Dr Halstead came back in the room with her chart. Will "so sylvie, you're definitely pregnant." Sylvie "ok." Will "Antonio's?" Sylvie "yes." Will "ready for your ultrasound?" Sylvie "as ready as I can be." Will started doing the ultrasound. "Well sylvie everything looks good. Wow, look at that." Sylvie looked at will "Look at what Will?" Sylvie "come on don't keep me in suspense." Will "oh sorry sylvie. There's baby A, there's baby B and there's baby C. You are having triplets. Do multiples run in your family?" Sylvie "I don't know, I was adopted as a baby. I don't know anything about my biological parents." Will "ok, good to know." Sylvie "Will, how the hell am I'm suppose to tell antonio? His kids are teenagers. What if it's to much for him? Will, everything has changed. " Will "well you'll need to tell him sooner than most. Because you'll show sooner than most. You're petite and pregnant with triplets." Sylvie "thanks Will." Will gave sylvie all the information she needed. Prenatal vitamins and a referral to a high risk ob/gyn. Arriving at home, sylvie prayed she was alone. But no such luck. Otis and lily were cooking in the kitchen. Cruz was watching tv. Otis "hey brett, are you hungry?" Sylvie "no thank you otis. I'm going to go take a nap." Even the smell of the food was turning her stomach. Cruz "we're going to molly's later, wanna join us?" Sylvie "no, I actually have plans later." Laying down in her bed, she looked at the ultrasound pictures of her babies. She called antonio, left a message "Antonio, can you please give me a call. It's really important that I see you." Falling asleep, she curled up underneath her blankets. Holding the ultrasound pictures of her and antonio's babies. Cruz answered the door "oh antonio, what are you doing here?" Antonio "Sylvie left a message for me that she needed to see me as soon as possible." Cruz's voice had anger in it "she's in her room taking a nap." Antonio "ok Joe, what the hell is your problem with me? You clearly have an issue with me." Otis "cruz." Otis gave him a warning tone to back off. "Antonio just go to her room." Antonio knocked on sylvie's door, before he walked in. There sylvie was fast asleep, she looked so peaceful. Antonio "hey sylvie wake-up babe." Sylvie "antonio, you came." Antonio "of course I did. When you say that it's important, it usually is. Do you want to grab a bite to eat?" Just the sound of food turned her stomach "no, please don't mention the word food." Antonio "ok, now you're making me worry. What's going on?" Sylvie gave antonio the ultrasound pictures from med. He held the pictures in his hands. "Antonio, I'm pregnant." Antonio "pregnant?" Sylvie "I know your kids are almost grown up. But I seriously didn't expect this. There's more antonio." Antonio "more?" Sylvie took the pictures to show him "these are our babies. Triplets, I'm pregnant with triplets." Antonio "three babies? How does that happen?" Sylvie "I'm just as shocked as you are." Antonio "When's the last time you've had something decent to eat?" Sylvie "I can't keep food down. Dr. Halstead suggested that I get admitted to the hospital, if it continues." Antonio looked at sylvie, she definitely was pale. "Ok, I think you should go to the hospital now. I'll take you, we'll call Will on the way." Sylvie "I really look that awful." Her voice was shaking, tears in her eyes. "Antonio, I'm scared." Antonio "Look at me, we'll get through this together. I'm here with you, through it all. I love you. I should've said it sooner." Sylvie "ok. Just help me pack a few things. By the way I love you too." Arriving at the hospital, Will was waiting for them. "Good to see you antonio. I'm glad you're here for sylvie." April hooked sylvie up to an iv to get fluids in her. April "you should start to feel better soon. Also here's medicine to help with the nausea. We'll check on you later." Sylvie had a bigger double bed "Antonio, can you hold me?" Antonio took her in his arms "I'm really sorry you feel so sick. Did your mom go through this?" Sylvie "I don't know. I was adopted, I don't know who my biological parents are. Or why they gave me up." Antonio couldn't imagine life with eva or diego in it. He also was in love with his babies that sylvie was carrying. Sure everything has changed, but all babies were miracles. Antonio "hey, I'm here for you." Sylvie "thank you." Antonio "is there anyone you want me to call?" Sylvie "just gabby and matt. Where's eva and diego?" Antonio "they're at home right now. I'm sure gabby won't mind staying with them." Gabby and matt walked into sylvie's hospital room. Her brother and sylvie were asleep. Gabby went to wake up her brother. Antonio "oh hi sis." Gabby "what's going on with sylvie?" Matt "is she ok?" Sylvie had woken up to find visitors in her room. "Glad you two are here." Antonio "gabby I need you to keep an eye on the kids." Gabby "ok, sure. But does someone want to fill us in." Sylvie "I'm pregnant with triplets. I'm here cause I can't keep anything down." Gabby "triplets. Boy antonio and sylvie, you definitely went the extra mile." Sylvie "tell me that to me when I stop feeling like I'm going to throw up." Matt "I'll fill in boden in. So I get a ambo sub. Until you're medically cleared. More than likely it'll be chout. Sorry gabs." Gabby cringed at the thought "he's so damn fricken cheerful. Sylvie I want you to rest and take care of yourself. Antonio try and not be so overprotective. I'll pick up the kids." Antonio "or you could stay at my place while sylvie is here. Plus it's on a need to know basis. Bring the kids tomorrow so we can tell them together. I'm going to take time off, so I'm here for sylvie and our babies." As time passed sylvie's stomach grew. So did hers and antonio's relationship. They were married in a small civil ceramony. Sylvie went into labor 4 weeks early. She was prepped for a csection. There 3 babies came into the world healthy. Identical twin girls and a baby boy. The girls names were Emma Casey and Ellie Gabriela. Their son's name was Logan Henry. Life was going to change for the dawson family. Eva and diego loved their baby sisters and their baby brother. Sylvie went back to work when the babies were a year old. Camila was watching the babies, while sylvie was back at 51. It wasn't easy going back to work, but sylvie loved her job. Walking into the break room, hermann hollered "hey brett's back or should I say dawson." Sylvie "brett's fine at work. Otherwise it'll get t confusing." Severide "so how are the babies?" Sylvie "They are happy and healthy. Being spoiled by their abuela as we speak. Camila loves Emma, Ellie and Logan. And they love their abuela." Otis "so you're speaking a little Spanish now?" Sylvie "some, but not alot. You learn fast. But I have been at home with the babies for a while." Herrmann "it's not easy being away is it?" Sylvie "no its not easy. But the babies are in good hands." After shift sylvie went home, antonio had already picked up their triplets. Walking in the door. All three babies were excited to see their mama. Ellie, Emma and Logan were all babbling " mamamamamamama." Sylvie "I've missed you guys so much." Antonio "so how was your first day back at work?" Sylvie "I loved being back at work, but it was a long day. I missed my babies so much. I love you antonio." Antonio "I love you too. Supper should be ready soon. Eva is at college, but diego is staying at laura's place. So it's just the 5 of us." Sylvie "you know you didn't have to make supper." Antonio kissed his wife "I know, but I wanted to. You deserve to put your feet up." Sylvie got the babies in their high chairs, along with their bibs on. But they were having spaghetti, so the bibs were just for appearances. Watching the 3 of them eat, both parents laughed. Sylvie "you just had to pick spaghetti. We're going to have to hose them down when we're done." Antonio "yes I know. Do you want the dishes or baths tonight?" Sylvie "I pick baths. I've missed them." While antonio was cleaning up in the kitchen. Sylvie gave the babies a bath. The girls had dark brown hair like their daddy, but they got their curls from their mommy. Both girls had sylvie's big blue eyes. Logan had straight blonde hair, and his daddy's big brown eyes. Getting them bathed, pajamas on. Sylvie read them a story, then put them in their cribs for the night. Fast asleep, sylvie tiptoed out of their room. She headed to their room, where she took a shower. Antonio joined her in the shower. They didn't say a word, they didn't need to. Sylvie put one of antonio's tshirt's on, with his boxers. Antonio crawled into bed with just boxers. Sylvie relaxed I'm her husband's arms "I love you. Goodnight." Antonio kissed her lips "Goodnight baby, I love you too."
