mi amore

amor. love. pag-ibig.  a very appropriate name for this person.  she has a very big heart and love that overflows for everyone. i for one, is very fortunate to be a receiver of that love.

ate memey and i practically grew up together. we're family actually.  we got to spend a lot of times together when we were kids.  she's very attached to her family.  i knew her to be closed to her father.  and i knew how much it hurt her when they lost him in a very painful way. at the age of seven, she had to take all the pain and be strong.  kaya nga when i also lost my father and felt like dwelling in sadness again, i kept on reminding myself that i have to be strong to face it.  she's the one i always think of everytime i feel i am being defeated by depression and pain.  it is just right to say that she is my epitome of strength and courage.  she had been to many battles of life and withstand them all. 

she's a very loyal friend.  she's someone who will be in the front line when someone tried to hurt or harm you.  she will protect you in any way she can.  she's someone who will never hesitate to sacrifice her own welfare just to show her support for you.  some people may not understand her but that's how she is.  she will love you without any reservation.

sis, thank you so much! thank you for being a part of my life. i always pray for your happiness because you deserve it.  thank you for the unconditional love you have given me.  i know that no matter how many times i fall, you will always be there to catch me.  that you will walk with me when i'm afraid to move forward.  that you will be there to cheer for me in my triumphs and be there especially when i fail to give me comfort.  

basta sis, you will always be my bestfriend and my sister. ikaw at ikaw lang ang maid of honor pag ikinasal ako!!! (asa pa rin ako :D)

happy birthday, sis! continue to be a channel of God's love and blessings. i love you forever!

p.s.  she's the one responsible for the dreaming chef title :D

the captain

i keep on saying this but i am truly blessed for having you in my life.  you have witnessed my ups and downs, and in all those moments, you were there for me.  you already knew what's happening to me even before i realized it myself.  you're always ready to lend a hand and a shoulder to lean on even before i asked.  everytime i text you, "san ka?", you already knew that something's wrong...

also, thank you for believing in me.  you just don't how my heart swelled when you encouraged me to audition in pinoy masterchef.  though i didn't try it, it's enough that someone as good as you has faith in me.  thank you too for being so patient and sometimes "not so" patient everytime i become pasaway he-he... :p

i am so lucky that you are not just my friend but a sister as well.  i started to see the world with you and i know that we will see the rest of the world together with our other sisters =)  

you've been a great sister, friend, daughter, leader, colleague, lahat-lahat na! =) kaya nga for me, you will always be the alpha and the captain and no one can ever take that away from you.  i just hope and pray that someday, sooner than soon, you will also be the captain of someone's heart ;-)

again, happy birthday Sis Yen!  i love you to the moon and back and more!

now that you're 13

I almost couldn't believe, or maybe I'm just in denial that you're already 13.  I can still remember when you were still a baby.  We're so excited and happy because you came into our lives.  But that happiness was temporarily shadowed by fear and sadness when they had to bring you at the hospital and confined you in Intensive Care Unit for infants. A lot of medical tubes and machines were put in your fragile body.   Many have prayed for your survival.  You were so loved.  We couldn't bear to see you in that condition.  We were so afraid that we might lose you anytime.  But Father God had been so good to us.  He has spared your life and allowed us to feel that joy of having you in our lives.

Growing up, we have witnessed all your kakulitans and mischiefs.  You grew up to be an active and hyper little kid.  We may have spoiled you in our own little ways but you did not become a brat.  You may have not shown it in so many ways but we knew how much you love your family.  I am positive that you will always protect your sisters Jayanne, Eiah, Nicole and Kurtney from any harm.  I just know...  

And now that you're 13 already and starting to become a young man, I just want you to know how much we love you.  You will always and forever be our Baby Lewis.  We will 101 % support you in every endeavors you will undertake just like when you competed in that Bey Blade Competition =)  Enjoy your youth and I pray that you grow up to be that kind of man Father God wanted you to be.

Happy Birthday, Lewis!

i'm still here

It's already the last quarter of the year and I thought I was improving already when I made my first post last January, ha-ha! (Boo, Balots!)

If I haven't seen my friend's posts, I wouldn't realize that it's been such a looong time since I wrote here.

A lot of things happened to me for the past months actually, there may be some bad news, but more importantly, there are so many good things as well, more than the bad.  Needless to say, I am so blessed!  I hope to write one day the experiences and "bloopers" I had this year.  One day...he-he...

Anyways, this is just a "paramdam" post just to let you know that this blog, though inactive for quite a long time, is still active, he-he...

For the meantime, I'm closing this post by leaving you a song to listen to.  This is the song I long to sing someday (wink, wink).  Here's Slowly by Klarisse De Guzman of The Voice of the Philippines
