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! ❤

Only The Young

Today, Facebook reminded me of a post I shared on this day two years ago. It was a photo of my 5-year-old self leading the pledge of loyalty back in grail school. In the caption of the said post, I wrote the lyrics of one of my favorite Taylor Swift tracks. It was my response to the malicious statements hurled against me by no less than our local chief executive earlier that morning via our community radio. How did I become so special? Days before that, I learned that the national government downloaded millions of funds to our local government through the Bayanihan One Act. To prevent the loss of lives and disruption of the economy due to the spread of the coronavirus, the government made sure that LGUs had enough funds to create measures or programs that would address the crisis efficiently. I'm sure it is still fresh in everyone's memory how things were during the first few weeks after the President declared a state of public health emergency throughout the entire country.  A...

Days with Marvin, Thus Far

Marvin and I celebrated our 5th anniversary as a couple by not talking to each other. Well, I, ignoring him. He got me incensed six days earlier for dropping me when I wanted to talk to him. I got hurt so bad I went MIA and never bothered to check up on him for almost a week. That's how it has been with Marvin. At least for the past couple of days. There are some days that we are infinite, we are happy. And some days that I just want to jump off a cliff and forget ever meeting him. Of course, I am exaggerating but I think you get how I feel. I try to blame it on distance and time zones. By it, I mean our petty fights. He works abroad while I review for my exams here in the Philippines. When he gets off his job, I am already asleep. When I wake up in the morning, I'll have to wait for five hours or so before I receive morning greetings from him. The next message that I will get will be another five hours later when he takes his lunch and the last would be when he gets home. Some...

Quaranthings

It's been four months since I assumed office as a Public Attorney and made Calbayog City my new home. A hundred days since I met my new family, seventeen weeks since I realized the promise I made to myself back in law school and three thousand hours of being grateful for this opportunity. It's been a rollercoaster ride ever since. I immediately attended hearings during my first week in the office. The previous lawyer assigned to my branch was appointed as a judge so needless to say, I have large shoes to fill. I didn't have time to mingle with my officemates for I only had a day or two to read the records of the cases set for that week. On my first appearance as a public attorney, I presented a witness in one case and requested some time to familiarize myself with the records in another. Thank God my DPA/immediate supervisor was kind enough to assist me and helped me navigate my way through. I wonder what impression I gave to the court and my fellow lawyers! 😅 Just as I wa...
