Letter for my three girls

Dear Gaby, Wafi and Mikee,

Mom is not the best and perfect mom. I have lapses. I am writing this after the JMR Day, August 18, that's two years after one of the best guys I know in Bicol died because of plane crash. Mom volunteers to take part in the event. When I volunteer, it means I do not get any cash. But the memories are all worthy of my time, I assure you. I would like you to be like a bit of me (but not too much,sometimes, I think I am overdoing it. So, try to be very rich first before you help others, you'll help more for sure). Mom is cool and helpful.

Frustrating that  I do not make it to lunch or dinner sometimes, maybe, most of the times. Mom might missed out some of your assignments and things you in need in school. Mom is not perfect. But Mom is doing things which you will be proud of her when you're all grown up. I am not rich - but the memories I have shared with people and with you makes me feel like a big billionaire. Sorry for all your Mom's shortcomings.One day, you will understand why Mom is not perfect. You will love Mom's imperfections and craziness.  I love you more than my life.

Love,

Mommy

Having fun backstage.

This is my second time to sleep in SM Event Center in Naga. I always sleep anywhere. Power nap is important to keep Mom going.

That's Mom and the crowd. :D Plaza Quezon. 8.18.2014

I do odd jobs and I don't mind.

One of Mom's frustrations is not having a farm to plant all the trees and flowers and herbs that I want. But I help distribute tree saplings for those who have a backyard to plant trees.

This is at SM during ingress.

Mom loves to take photos. Selfie generation. I don't know what generation would you belong when the three of you are all grown up. Can't wait to have a selfie shot with you.

Mom eats on the street. See, I'm not maarte. Mom is a cowboy. I'm so hungry here. Can't go inside the venue yet because I need to eat. It's a memorable experience. It was fun.

The Raya School Naga's Pagtatapos 2016

Image
I was able to attend the graduation rites "Pagtatapos" of The Raya School in Naga City.  I accompanied my favorite Kumadres, Ms.Bernadette de Los Santo, the guest speaker of the moving up event.  How cute! White jacket instead of toga with Ms. Rica Buenaflor and Ms. B. It's not the usual graduation rites with processional and toga and stiff ceremonies. It was cool, relaxed, but one of the most meaningful and sentimental graduation rites of prep and kindergarten I'd ever been.   Fashion show featuring abaca products A super cute song number The kids had fun singing, dancing, reading and  strutting their abaca stuff. I guess it's their final thesis. They gave us all their perception on how they learned things in Raya through poetry and music and their videos on field trips and school presentations and their entrepreneurial skills!  During their pagtatapos they presented different products of abaca, its uses and even recited a poem....

Poisoned with Love | Poison Cauldron Library Cafe in Daraga, Albay

Image
From the moment I found the place under the searing heat of the sun, it sends  off automatically a deja vu chills! It's as if there's someone who whispered to me to look right and indeed, I'm on the right spot! I found Poison Cauldron, an old house with big pink open windows, and big trees around the house.  There's that certain smell of old houses and even the old books. It brought some joyful shivers in my spine. and I told myself, I am home. Old houses always struck me as interesting. Mainly, because I also live in a Pre-Spanish era house. Secondly, my Mom and I are paranormal lovers. We like the world of the unknown, ghosts, ghouls, lost souls, aliens and crystals and spaceships  (Well, off topic! This will be another post in my blog). Here is my Top Five Reasons Why Poison Cauldron Library Cafe   is worth your visit! 1. Books!      Lots of it. If you're a book worm, this place is your sanctuary. There's a variety of books from romanc...

Learning to breathe again

Image
Obviously, yes,  every part of my body is aching tonight. Most especially my wrists and my arms. I am not young anymore. I am not that flexible as before. I cannot reach my toes, I cannot lift or twist my body like I used to do, but surprisingly, I still can lift my butt with that certain yoga position, i can do the child's post and keep my balance but definitely, not that locust position. That one in the picture you're looking at, that's after my very first basic yoga class. I asked my yoga teacher to take a photo of me for this blog and as souvenir. A photo that would remind me that I was able to survive my first yoga class. I was able to keep up with the rest of my yoga classmates. I scrambled while following the  instructions of the yoga teacher who can do all the positions with ease, with impeccable balance, with great stamina. What do you expect from a tired Mom? lols!  I work. I am a very busy woman. My body and mind are both working, besides this, I try ...
