HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!

                 

         Months before her big day,  I was really thinking of something special how to celebrate her 60th. Initially I was wondering if we could travel again since she would always tell me "Ayoko na mag party, stressful mapapagod lang kayo". I know I could bring Mommy and Daddy to whichever place they want to go but I don't want to be a selfish daughter not to celebrate her day with the whole family. After the conversation with the siblings in our secret group chat in fb, we finally decided to just give her a surprise dinner party. Ta-da! The birthday surprise was a success! 

Sharing a few snaps of that precious moment: 

                       

                  

I hope you enjoyed your birthday Mommy! Words are not enough to express how much I love you.  I want you to know that I am always here for you, for the whole family. I wouldn't mind being the spoiler daughter-clingy bunso as I am right now, and I want you to know I will not regret anything I have done just to return all the favors you did for me and for this family. Thank you for being the stronghold of our home, for always teaching us the value of family, for the faith that you have and always teaching us to just pray for everything, just like your name 'MARIA' your unconditional love like MAMA MARY is immeasurable and unquestionable. I always pray for your good health, inner peace and joy. I know God is always guiding you back home. I love you forever!


PS Welcome to senior citizens club! haha may discount ka na din. yay!

Family Love

Family... where life begins and love never ends. It's always the best time being with them. And I got the privilege of traveling with the parents, which I always dreamed of. 

photo was taken a year ago in HK disneyland, one of the happiest days of my life.

As we about to board in the plane going back to Philippines, my Mother gave her short but heartfelt gratitude. "Thank you for the time and effort you have given to us, money can't buy happiness" 

I simply wanna say that their happiness is twice my happiness. Their smile is my strength. 

I feel the joy and contentment whenever I am able to give back all their hard work. 

I wouldn't be where I am right now if not for them.

Their recent travel is their 3rd time visiting me here in SG and the happiest that has been. Waking up everyday with them for a week, home cooked meals, late night talks, llao llao moments, random laughter, USS, food trips, and the warm hugs and kisses. Special thank you to the housemates/siblings/colleagues/bestfriends. You guys are the best! 

Till our next adventure Mommy and Daddy! :)
