And these two little angels were the culprits why i had to undergo such
terrible, heavenly ordeal...


How many more years and I'd be a very, very conservative mother who would pick
you up even if you're already in college?





You'll always be my baby...Always saying"I love you, mama!" And what reason am I left with but to give her 100 pesos everyday? I bursted out laughing when she said if her ate wants to study in UP, her dream is to study at Rejoice University and she was serious..Bwahahahaha
Just yesterday, she was seated beside me in front of our computer. And then she said, "Mommy, when I finish college, I don't wanna work in an office. Is it okay to work at SM(Shoemart)? I want to be in the counter so I could keep all the money.
Hahahaha again...
Those sort of dreams of a child which she gets from what she sees around her.
Of course I had triumphed in disillusioning her from it, so she ended up with what I programmed her mind to dream about, to be an architect like her older sister.

My daughter has a hobby of owning different kinds of trinkets. Off school, they won't stop asking money from me so they could go with their yaya to National Bookstore or the Merriam Bookstore near our house. They'd buy colored pens, clays and all the art materials they could find. And that's everyday, I swear!





Wam is now 12 years old and independent. She inherited my sense of solitude, who finds solace in being alone without her little sister ranting at her back...
She is very artistic like her daddy. And as her mom, I never tire of repeating to her (just so it would start giving her a sense of expectation and upliftment of what she wants to be ..or what her mother wants her to be..haha..) that she will be a painter someday, or an architect, or an architect cum painter...
She keeps a portfolio of her sketches, she's been nagging me about the violin she wants to play. And there was once when she showed me a stickman animation she did. Those were in-between images she drew at the top-right corners of a small, old book. When you browse through it from the bottom, the images looked like a moving stickman. I think she learned it from her daddy and it was what her Ninong Edward, an animator who was one of those responsible in making the XMEN animation you see on tv, taught her before. It's called "In-between" animation...

I wonder if these epiphanies would weave a good future for them.
I wish they will be what I failed to be that I should have been.
We fight a lot, mostly on who should use the internet first when they get home from school. :)
My best solution is : here's 100 pesos, go to Merriam Bookstore. Hehehe

No matter how long they have been living away from their dad, he is still their hero.

This photo was taken last New Year's Eve when their daddy went home for vacation.
And where was I? Workin' my ass up while my family was supposed to be complete
after sooooooo many years. They had to spend it with our family friends...One minus point
in being a good mom...My daughters have gotten used to it.
And, they have their daddy badoodie with them, that's what's important.
They love him more than they do me, I think...:)
Even if I had to waste all my money in Timezone and National Bookstore for them...^_^
Cuz he gives them 1,000 pesos all the time!
Their life with me is so different from their life with their daddy. As opposed to their life with both daddy and mommy together, which, I guess has not existed in 4 or 5 yrs now...
And I pray that someday we will all be together again. That's a long-drawn dream
I have always wished for Wam and Roxeanne. Because I live for them...

Whew, I wanna cry...And sleep...ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
