posting a picture that’s around 50 years old, one i can’t help but think my siblings may often wish had been just the way it could’ve been, with just the 4 of them: ate, pinky, noy, and viel. That’s viel being held by our dad, who was chubby when this was taken, and look how skinny our mom was... you see viel was born October 27, 1961, and i didn’t come along until almost 10 years later. Our mom thought she was done with having kids, born when she was 22, 24, 27, and 28- until humabol ako when she was 38. My sister Viel is the most shy among all of us, and she hates when i quote her in any of my posts- but i think the birthday girl will forgive me when i say: whenever i feel like giving up, i look at some of the texts she’s sent me, the ones when she tells me how remarkable it is that bimb is mature, intelligent, well adjusted, extremely polite, always saying thank you, and how truly loving and lovable joshy, her inaanak, is... ours isn’t a perfect family, we sisters have our differences and disagreements- but i am so GRATEFUL that my sisters LOVE me and LOVE my sons even more. Happy Birthday, Viel. Ang swerte ko to have sisters like you, pinky, and Ate. Thanks for really being someone the 2 boys and i can count on. We love you. I’m not allowed to mention the achievements of her kids, BUT she’s one truly awesome mom! 💛

Kuya Josh has 2 songs of tito willie on repeat mode: Ikaw Na Nga and Kung Para sa ‘Yo. ate natchie took these videos of the 2 walking hand in hand this morning so i’d see kuya’s happiness. the material generosity from willie is much appreciated, pero ito po yung nagpatunaw sa puso ko bilang mama ni kuya josh, dahil ang super favorite nyang si tito willie— binigyan sya ng buong umagang bonding... sabay sila nag breakfast, nag walking, and nag swimming... it brings to mind this Maya Angelou quote: PEOPLE WILL FORGET WHAT YOU SAID, PEOPLE WILL FORGET WHAT YOU DID, BUT PEOPLE WILL NEVER FORGET HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL. ngayon na uncertain ang panahon, lahat tayo may dalang kaba sa ating mga puso, seeing my panganay’s smile made me realize, when given the chance- let’s choose to love, choose to share, and choose to be kind. 🤍🤍🤍

mahaba pa ang laban, pero hindi masamang magpasalamat. 1st time na kaming 3 lang, kuya josh, bimb, and me... naghanap ng mga kaibigan dito and thank God Alvin & Rochelle found us some of the kindest people. I praise God, the pediatrician, Dr delos Reyes checked bimb again- upper respiratory infection & bronchial asthma. No pneumonia, no fever, pero matamlay kasi maraming gamot na iniinom. Tinutulungan ako ni Check & Randy (from willie), ni ate Loida & her family, ni nurse Mona, and the very kindhearted Mayor of Puerto Galera, Mayor Rocky Ilagan. Maraming salamat sa staff ng resort na tinutuluyan namin (i’ll name the place & share pics pag okay na). And thank you sa mga taga Mercury na tumutulong talaga para mahanap ang maintenance na gamot ko. Sobrang mabait & welcoming ng mga taga Puerto Galera- sa lockdown na ito they have made us feel secure, welcomed & cared for. God bless you all. I pray for all our healthcare workers. Many have become my close friends & i salute their heroic efforts. Romans 8:NIV [28] And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
