Wow! Seems like were celebrating a lot of birthdays this May. So we have Bea, Micah’s mom, Sandy’s friends, Crissy, ate Macy’s dad and brother. Happy Birthday to all these people! But can I please add one more person to the list? Please?

I knew you’d say yes. Haha! Thanks!

I was nine and she was ten when I first realized how much she loves me. I was a big kid, a really big kid. It was no surprise that taking the stairs to my classroom, which was unfortunately located on the third floor of the building, became a major challenge for me. At first, I carried a stroller thinking that it would be easier since I just have to pull it up, but I was so wrong! I then changed it to a backpack. It was a bit easier to carry but I was still panting like a dog upon reaching the room. My boy classmates even made fun of me. So bad! Tsk, tsk!

I told her about it, but instead of comforting me, all she said was “magpapayat ka kasi.” I hated her because of that.

Hey, girls!

Today’s a special day because it’s the birthday of one of the most special people in my life—my mom. It’s too bad she’s on a business trip right now. She’s been flying back and forth between Manila and Singapore for the last year, and sometimes she’s home only on weekends—arriving Friday night and leaving Monday morning. I miss her terribly when she’s away. And it’s just too bad that she’s not around on her birthday.

Here’s my favorite photo with my mom, taken at a wedding in December 2005:
