Grail Graduation Day '17


Our godchildren, Seanna Aquisha and Clent Lorenze, just graduated from Grail School last Thursday and their stage ninangs were there to proudly cheer them on! 😍

It seems like only yesterday when these cutie pies made headlines in our small barkada. I can still remember when Lornts, Lorenze's mom, broke the news about her bun in the oven. She was so chill about it while I was terrified for her and her CE Board Exams later that year. And who would forget the day when Shan, Seanna's mom, called us at Lorenze's christening to inform us that she was one month pregnant with her ass ex boyfriend. I was doubly scared for her because of her circumstances then. But life really surprises you. Now, the little ones just finished pre-school!


I was a bit late when I arrived to the venue. I stood at the end of the covered court with my nephew and his nanny who got there earlier to watch the event. The Closing Exercises had already begun and medals were being awarded. I readied my camera as names were called, hoping that my godkids would get some. When they did, I walked briskly to the edge of the stage to capture the moment.



It was a long awarding ceremony because each pupil were given at least one medal. Haha. I am not sure what the two received, though I think Lorenze got a Most Behaved award for his mom won't stop laughing about it!



The Third Honor awardee led their Pledge of Loyalty although I doubt these tiny people understood what they were raising their hand for, let alone what they were mumbling about (if they did). 😅




Some sang with all their heart while others just wanted to get the party started or go home already. LOL.

After the program, parents but mostly relatives and friends of the graduates, took class pictures of Batch 2017 with their teachers and guests. I CANNOT WITH THE KIDS' WTH/IDGAF/FML LOOKS. 😆





They performed a play entitled "Bakit Walang Bango Ang Gumamela", which apparently was the same presentation we did two decades ago! Don't remember this bit but my former classmates told me so. I still have a photo of me wearing a green skirt. LOL




SO MUCH CUTENESS OMG 😂





My other godchild Donnafrel Czara Myrrh, Mira for short, graduated too! Well done, ate Mira!




I always feel inspired whenever I look back at how my best-friends stood tall and got past all their heartrending struggles. Truly, there is no challenge too overwhelming when one is determined and persistent. I will always be proud of these two and their growing bundles of joy for their strength.

Twenty one years ago Shan and I received our "diplomas" from the same school. We barely knew each other then and now we're almost inseparable. We hope our little ones would stay as friends as they grow up, too!

Congrats, beshies and babies! ❤

A few weeks ago, I applied for leave so I could go home. Ambin's home isolation period was also about to end so it was perfect. We talked over the phone about what we'd do when we see each other. I said I have to go to Borongan City for my dental checkup. I was gonna be home for only a few days so I wanted to make the most out of it. We agreed to go together as he's been dying to eat lechon at Cebu's Best Boneless Lechon. It's also been years since he visited the city. I also asked him if we could drive to the beach. I miss the sea!  We were making fun of ourselves when we got to the topic of us moving in together. We talked about buying furniture for our apartment which will be our home for our first years together. He wants to buy a TV, I want a sofa. I told him he should be in charge of the kitchen since he's a better cook, he said we'll just order take-out. Just another exchange of humorous banters that would sometimes get personal. Haha. Next thing we k...

There Will Be Days

Dandelion by Kamsar Ohanyan, 2021 There will be days when you wake up to a cuddle There will be days when mornings are a struggle There will be days when dancing feels good There will be days when music just can't give the right mood  There will be days when the food on the plate is wiped clean There will be days when a grain's left untouched or so it seems  There will be days when laughter echoes everywhere There will be days when not even a cricket's sound you can hear   There will be days when a short walk is enough to keep it at bay There will be days when you kneel and plead to make it go away There are days when the faintest of sunshine hurts your eyes And there are days when raindrops sound like solemn lullabies.

So Long, Old Self

Nine years ago I deleted my 9-year-old Facebook account and I'm glad I did, at long last. This isn't the first time I deactivated my social media account. I did it last year when I reviewed for the Bar. I was offline for about 4 or 5 months, though I wasn't on a total hiatus as I was active on Messenger and I'd sometimes check the social networking site to get my mind off things. But then 5 minutes later I'd get so annoyed by everything I see on my news feed and shut off my account again. I have been thinking of creating a new account since then. Ever since we outgrew Farmville, Facebook has become so toxic for me that I started hating it. Well, most of it was because of my own doing. Firstly, I added friends that I barely know. I'm a snob and people know that. So in an attempt to become more friendly and approachable, or at least appear to be one, I continued on accepting requests from kids that I haven't even met for as long as we have dozens of mut...
