One, Two, Three

One

MLA and I filed our board exam application today. So… it’s now official. There’s no turning back!

Two

I gave MLA my late gift -- a bouquet. I surprised her -- I think? I was with her when I bought it after we were done at the PRC. I told her it’s for Mommy because it’s her birthday.  I was holding it until we were able to ride a jeepney. Before she got off, I reached it to her. I knew she wouldn’t be able to speak or even react anymore after it (obviously, the jeepney wouldn’t wait) but it’s okay. Anyway, all I wanted is to try to surprise her to compensate for not being able to prepare anything during her real birthday.

Three

As I was saying, it’s Mommy’s birthday. I feel so bad I’m still incapable of having something special for her. I just texted her,

“Poot poot! (This I always use as my introduction line whenever I text either Daddy or Mommy) Happy birthday, Ma. Sorry po, wala akong gift or card para sa  iyo -- greetings lang…”

Know what? She replied,

“Thank you, ayos lang anak. Mag-ingat kayo lagi dyan.”

 See how thoughtful she is? It’s her birthday yet all she thinks is still us...
