Our relationship isn't perfect and probably isn't the most convenient at all. We've gone through some rough patch. Some real rough patch. It was normal and abnormal all simultaneously but I guess it was the way to go. It had to happen to give way to all love, happiness, friendship and all better things. 

G. Toengi / Dina Bonnevie levels!
Mommy at Orchard Road, Singapore, 2010
You are one of the coolest people I know, whose temperament is kind of odd but if known better can easily be get along with. I didn't know that until I have become a older. I grew up distant literally and figuratively and we both know that but I knew you did and still doing your part to make up for some lost years. I say, it's not yet too late to get to know you and you get to know me. There will always be a good timing, a right time for everything. 

I know you aren't that showy or that cheesy, that's just how you are and that's totally fine. But looking at the bigger picture we all know that you are loving, caring, soft and kindhearted in your own unique way. 

Today, it is your birthday and I know you're having fun as always. Growing old is a privilege as they say; and age is just a number we put in all formality documents and the evidence of how much decades we have endured and lived. There's nothing to feel bad about getting old after all (minsan lang siguro).

We might not always say this to you but you are one of the blessings the Lord has given to cure our boring lives and love us uniquely. It will never be complete if there's no maldita around town sabi ni Lord. Kailangan daw dalawa tayo. Joke lang! Hahaha! For me, it's nice to know that we can pull things together now not apart anymore. Distance may have separate but there's always someone like you still. It's also nice to have a confidant and a friend who treats more than an acquaintance but get on full load blood especially in the most crucial occurrences - like make-up, shoes, wardrobe, and even romance. 

We are two different individuals as supposed. I might have gotten something from you or grew up to be another unique human being but I have full respect to the origin of when you bore me quarter of a life ago at 11:08 PM (that's what it says in my birth certificate, by the way). I wasn't able to say thank you for that, so thank you.  

I think all the space and time went by fast have honed us to have our own individuality and have helped us understood that more than friends, we are family. More than another buddy, you are my mother. 

On your birthday I'd like to wish you happiness and many more of that in all forms; in anything and/or anyone that will make you happy. Thank you for the unique love you give and for your support. I wish you love and all the money in the world! 

I love you, Mommy. Happy birthday!

Montalban Waterpark and Garden Resort

A 15-20-minute ride from Commonwealth, Quezon City, Montalban Waterpark and Garden Resort is one of the nearest relaxation spots where you can swim and enjoy peace and quiet time (given that it is not peak season). Entrance fee is P250 and they allow guests to bring their own food and drinks. There's also a convenience store near the entrance that sells everything from charcoal to rice and other things you might need to grill, cook, or eat; and of course, toiletries, most importantly. Cottage rental amounts to P700-P1000; if you are a group of  20 or more people, there's a pavilion available for rent that can accommodate that much. They also have an area where you can conduct seminars and other events such as debuts, weddings, birthdays, etc. You can also use the videoke for P900 (or if you can haggle, you can only get it for P700) and it is good for use during your entire stay, so you better get your songs ready and lined-up. Their restrooms and shower rooms are impressi...

Ang Liham ni Andres Bonifacio kay Ka Oryang

1897  Mayo  1 Mahal kong Oryang, Andres Bonifacio at Gregoria de Jesus photo from the web Mali ka. Hindi kita nakasalubong upang sa dulo ng kalsada, ako ay liliko sa kanan at ikaw sa kaliwa. Sapagkat saan man tayo dalhin ng ating pakikibaka, ikaw lang ang aking itatangi at makailang ulit na ihaharap sa pulang bandila. Hindi tayo nagpalitan ng kwento upang sa pinakahuling tuldok ng pangungusap, ang karugtong ay alingawngaw ng katahimikan. Walang pagod kitang aawitan ng imnong pambayan, Oryang. Hindi kailanman ako mauubusan ng salita upang maialay sa iyo bilang mga tula. Maging ang bulong at buntung-hininga'y magpapahayag ng pagsinta sa tulad mong umiibig din sa bansa. Hindi tayo sabay na tumawa, nagkatinginan, at tumawa pa nang mas malakas, upang sa paghupa ng halakhak ay may butil ng luha na mamimintana sa ating mga mata. Loobin man ng Maykapal na pansamantala tayong magkawalay, tandaan mong ang halakhak at sigaw ng ating mga kasamahan ay sa akin rin. Hindi ka dapat m...

Pinto Art Museum

Some might find it weird about how we juggle up on our interests. Some would say that there's always so much going on and some (might) find it interesting, too. Nonetheless, we just do what we love, what we are interested and passionate about and even the things we don't even know at hand hence trying out and its conversion. Interests, passions and talents turn to 'work' and eventually to crafts (well, whichever comes first). And same goes as what Tina Fey once said, "Your work is your craft and your craft is your art." How we care and hone our given skills and talents, as well dig into the deeper process on the things we are interested about (and even with those we are not totally into); then learning goes along with it.  Speaking of interests and different approach to ideas, medium and overall art... art galleries and/or museums are the best places to see the various aforementioned accessions.  I've visited different art galleries and museums...
