     Cliche as it goes, "We are so busy growing up, we forget they're growing old."

     We all have 24 hours in a day but never for even a second our moms didn't think of us. But how many times have we felt guilty because we didn't make time for them? We had time to drink with friends. We had time to study and time to complain about not having enough time to study. We had time for those overtime work in the office. We had time for that interview 3-hours away. We had time for those food trips and awesome getaways. How many times have we felt guilty not having time for Mom and didn't bother to do something about it?

     How about we call them now? Or send them a message with the emojis of course. Make them laugh with gifs and warm their hearts with our #atm photos. We don't have to be fancy all the time. I honestly haven't given a Mother's Day gift for mom last year and even during the years before that. Sorry Mom. But I hope that I can make it up to you. Love you.

Hopefully you will stumble upon this and read this in your own time; when you're old enough to understand things but young enough to have a chance to spend time with one person to whom you're so dear.

Five years ago today, you were born to be the reason for someone's life.You're such a beautiful boy, molded in the image of your father. Oh, the resemblance! May you grow up remembering the times he held you in his arms (damn boy, you were too young to even care then!)

I wish I could tell you exactly how much he loves you. You turned him into a man!  (Yes, you did.) As he told me about you, he mentioned how you became a blessing in the most confusing (or even darkest)  days of his life. He got lost but glad that he found his way because of you.

Miracle.

You will be told that you were not expected, but you were a welcomed present for him! You became his inspiration.

I hope that you will grow up being told of how he took care of you on your first sight of the world. I wish that I could tell you how there's always a touch of love and longing every time he utters your name. He may not have showered you with gifts and toys but boy, he could have shown you the "wild things" (hahaha, that's what he said) if only he was given the chance.

I hope that you will grow up loving him despite the distance created between you. May you always find in your heart a place for him too. May you not blame him for the lost times. He never truly left you because you remained in his heart. (You're literally etched on his heart.) I tell you he would teach you how to ride your bicycle, how to survive the waves of the sea, how to get a girlfriend... ooops hehe

May you not entertain the feeling of hate for me. I may be one reason for his absence but I'm hopeful that you will someday understand. You're a smart boy! I'll forever understand that he won't love me with all his heart because there's a space right there for you. But I'm completely okay with that because I love whom he loves.

Zion.

I wish that someday in zion, in a not so distant future; may he be able to hold you in his arms again. May I see again the biggest grin on his cute charming face.

May you continue to love him, despite or in spite of....

So, today on your special today, I wish you well and I hope that you will grow up to be a healthy, smart, strong and sensible boy showered with love and affection. You are a precious gem ☺ May you continue to be a light to the world and bring joy to the people who care a lot about you.

I was skeptical when you told me that 2015 would be our year but boy did you prove yourself right!



You stayed up with me despite my disturbed sleeping pattern or lack thereof. You drank coffee with me while I went through my readings that didn't seem to end, though I know that coffe is not really your cuppa tea. You gave me the funniest pep talks. I'm not quite sure if those pep talks did in fact motivate me or maybe they may have just made me laugh so hard I couldn't think of giving up law school. You sent me scary photos just so I wouldn't sleep coz I got to prepare for recitations. That was unconventional but it's exactly your anti-mainstream acts that drew me closer to you. Ayeee ♡





April came and I really wanted to go to Mati. I haven't been to Mati and I really wanted to go to Summerfrolic. You got mad coz I needed to study for finals. You only wanted what's best for me. My friends thought that that trip to Mati was a crazy idea two days before the Consti Law exams but we two crazy kids went on anyway. Hihi



I felt kinda pissed when we couldn't buy those expensive rave tix but you turned everything around when you offered that we go old-school at Dahican. We watched the picturesque moon as it lit on that dark Friday night, majestic with all its glory. My definition sure wouldn't give justice to how beautiful the moon looked that night. So while everyone was raving with EDM, we had our romantic moment by the beach with the moon. I would not exchange that moondate for a rave any day!



We watched the sunrise the day after. It was a few minutes after 5 in the morning.  I haven't woken up that early in a long time. That was usually the time I go to bed during hellweek. You stayed patient with me despite my obvious lack of swimming skills. You just said I looked cute running from the waves that you could ride and surf anytime. hihi And that moment we got caught up in the wave and got swept to the shore then I hit my head on your knee, damn that was awesome! Haha I could have bruises and all but see I (still haven't) learned (to swim) hihi

 Is it measured by the number of times you say “I love you”

A real friend should not act like a jealous mistress.
