Hello everybody. Quincey here!
I don't know how to start writing this.. er.. Anyhoo, I got a pretty bad news to start with. Daddy's health has been worsening, he's now in the hospital on IV and mama has been the one taking care of him every single day. So proud of my family!
I couldn't really go to visit him everyday cos I'm facing finals at school. Just in case u're wondering, I'm taking Fishery lesson. Yes it happens in Sims world, we are fabulous like that. Heh.
Alright gotta go back to studies.. Quinn is shouting...

Chapter 4.29
Quincey won an international competition in fishing today! We're all so proud of her!! :)
Daddy is bringing her to Saris to celebrate... and jokingly we asked if she'd like to bring along her boyfriend. She was like "What boyfrieeeenndddd??" We know that she's been seeing this guy named Kale from her school. But knowing that we wouldn't approve it, she's denying the fact. Well Kale's father is the one that Pepita got married to. You know, to avoid complication.
Anyhow... she's been such a grown young woman. She's turning 20 soon. Wow. Has it been 20 years alreadyyyy?

So sorry for the lack of writing. Jack's health hasn't been at its best. He fell sick shortly after Quincey turned 12, heart disease it is. The diagnosis from doctor has been all good though, thank goodness.
Quincey is now a bouncy teenager who can't sit still. AT ALL. Strange how Quinn and she could be such good friends. We can all definitely see the sisterly love in them. Quinn is a delicate woman who wants everything to be done properly, and boy when she speaks, the whole world just wants to listen to her voice. Look at Quincey. We made her wear dress (cos otherwise she's best friend with the baggy pants!) and there she was running across town like nobody's watching.
And did I tell you when she was young, she thought that Quinn was her mommy? We never applied that kind of buddy system to them, but it just kinda ran. Funny, cute, and it's happening. ;) Quinn has been engaged to this wonderful guy from the neighborhood, Phil, and they're marrying next year. As decided by Quinn herself, she's moving out from this house as soon as she gets married. She would really love Persey to come along with her... but maybe only after she gets a grandchild for Persey as a bribe. BTW, aunt O passed on 2 years back because of old age. Pepita was down with depression, but I guess it just ran in the gene that she got married shortly after, to a married man. Oh well I've got nothing to say. So now the house is only the five of us. It's lovely.

Chapter 4.27
One blink of an eye, now Quincey is already at 4th grade. Boy is she such a mischievous kid! She's born with adventurous trait that she inherits from Jack and she has a big flair for fishing! I guess that runs down from my dad... Jack's saying to put her in fishing competition and see if she could win something. I told her that school would still be her priority though. She's not one of those Ivy League kid, but she's pretty brilliant for her age. She's been saving money to buy more aquariums... I can't decide if it's cute or what.
Chapter 4.26
We're back from our Saris trip.
Jack initiated another baby while we're there, but I told him no. He's at his ripe age and Quincey is growing up, I wouldn't have the strength to carry another one... Thank God he understands.
Quincey is learning how to talk now. For a toddler at her age, it's amazing what she could already say... "Maamaa no blohkolee.." She hates veggie. Dislikes is too mild a word! =) She occasionally asks about her grammy and grampa, so we brought her for a visit to her grandparent's.
Jack's brother just had a triplets a while ago so obviously they are more fond of the triplets rather than Quincey. Well it doesn't matter. I'm only doing my job as a mom. Quincey is excited for her first nursery class next week. Me too! :)

Chapter 4.25
We lost baby 2.
Work stress was a huge burden for me because I had been absent from it for almost a year and getting back to it was quite difficult for me. Team reshuffling seconded why, because I now had a rather uptight team to work with.
It happened last month. I guess I will just have to learn to let go. Maybe it's just not meant to be. We just found out the sex of the baby too, it's another girl and we'd planned to name her Querra. Be a good angel now Querra. Mommy and daddy already miss you.
Our family is in deep pain and mournful moods... Jack is taking me to Saris again next week to refresh. I've already decided to quit my job too. This is for the best.

Chapter 4.24
As if one baby was not enough, here I am already with another Jack-ling inside. Currently 5 weeks and growing :) I decided not to pamper myself much with this second pregnancy, I go to work as usual. I believe the positive element will help to ease all my sickening morning sicknesses away. What's wonderful of all is I don't need to hire a babysitter for Quincey because I have aunty O, Pepita, Persey and Quinn who would take turn to take care of her. The house will be crazy mess if we added another Quincey by next year. That's for sure.
Jack is a bit less busy at work so he's been training much in the gym room. He's reaching a ripe age soon so he just wants to make sure his health is at prime. Welcoming baby two really helps everyone to act more positively *chuckles*
Persey and auntie O have been having rows against one another. It started with Auntie O's opinion on Persey's decision to send Quinn to business school. She kept on saying that Quinn should have her own right to decide what she wants, not what Persey wants. Well, I have not much say in this because I don't want to seem like I'm on anyone's side. Quinn is a brilliant kid at school and she's apparently doing well in her Business course. I don't know what is the big trouble for Auntie O, perhaps according to her Quinn should not follow such a ubiquitous role so it's easy for her to find a career later on. Anyhow, I hope they will cool down soon because it's rather stressing me.

Chapter 4.23
That being said, Jack has been a wonderful husband and father. Though he has to work till late almost every night, he always tries to be with us on weekends. It's terribly hard for me when he's not around, especially at night. There were many times when I reached the point that I felt I couldn't take it anymore. Quincey can be quite difficult sometimes... but she's still my precious daughter. I'm grateful for her presence every single day.
Oh btw, I did change my hairdo. Enough with the long hair feminine look, time for a change :)
Chapter 4.22
Finally I'm back to writing this journal again! It's been months, pardon my absence but my pregnancy was really too much for me to handle. The fishing routine that we did quite helped a bit, and I'm really grateful for my husband Jack who's been with me through all these. Despite all the hardships though, the delivery was really smooth. My water broke as I was gagging out during one of my morning sicknesses, I felt so liberated!
Jack quickly drove home and brought me to the hospital. Persey was out for a training during the week, so it's really only Jack. Pepita and aunt O were just plainly not amused. Who cares.
It's a baby girl! Quincey Chopin... Welcome her, people. :)
P.S.: If other women are having post-natal depression, I'm having post-natal euphoria. :) Now I can eat up to my stomach's content! WoOohHoOoooo!

Chapter 4.21
Entering second trimester only makes me feel more horrible. Every morning is started with morning sickness, and it goes on for not only once, but couple of times till the afternoon. I could impossibly eat anything. This sucks. ;(
Doctor said my condition is pretty bad for a pregnant woman, thus he issued me a certificate to state that I'm not fit for work till I give birth. Therefore, I've been stay-at-home mommy-to-be... I know my job could be very demanding, but that's the only way for me to spend my days...
Now the only thing I look forward to in a day is just when Jack comes home and Persey to cook us dinner. According to Persey, one therapeutic way to ease my pregnancy obstacles is by going fishing. Something that I've really never done at all in my life. So apparently Pepita inherits that talent from our dad, so she's bringing me to go fishing this weekend along with Persey. All three of us are close, but there's still an invisible barrier between Pepita and us. I hope it'll slowly subside.

Chapter 4.20
Due to some carelessness and too much of passion and playfulness, hereby we announce:
WE'RE EXPECTING.
I knowwwwwww that I just mentioned a week ago that baby was not (yet) in our agenda, but who can help the newlywed when it comes to such kind of thing? Though it's rather unexpected, we're happy to the max nonetheless. This fantastic news comes in a package with other good news. I've just been promoted to be the Vice CEO of the company! Woohoo! They tripled my salary and decided to give me extra off days for the year. :)
Remember how I changed 5 wedding planners a month ago? I was sooo caught up in anxious and angry mood almost everyday. It's not their faults, because they're the top-notches in town. I guess I should've known it earlier that I was already pregnant with this little Jack-ling inside. I couldn't eat well, in fact I lost about 3kgs prior to the big day (all in a month!) and I got lethargic really easily. Persey had been telling me that I could be preggo, but I kept defying her words because I always thought we had it safe (yeah only safe in my own mind apparently) :P
This is exciting. ;) Btw, it's been growing inside of me for 10 weeks now. Another 30 more to go.
Chapter 4.19
We're both back to work today, after having 3 full months off.
We decided to postpone our honeymoon to maybe next year, cos we're just done with one not long ago and now just want to concentrate on our jobs. Our resolution is to make it to the top level in our careers, which means more moolah and more opportunities to have fun in the future ;) Baby? Nahhhh not in our agenda yet. Enjoying our newly wed chapter at the mo.
Quinn is entering high school now and while she couldn't determine what major she should take, Persey suggested her to take up Business. Because that's what both Persey and Uncle Ocean are lacking, knowledge in business. I think it's quite a good idea.
