There’s always a wild side to an innocent face.

Got my looks from this amazing woman— Mommy. <3 :)

Mommy went home from the states for about 10 days for Daddy’s funeral. Dad died last april 10 and we wanted him here before his 40th day.

In the midst of all the chaos of the preparation we managed to go out for a few hours to catch up and just talk. :)

Mommy and I in Mall of Asia. :)

Mommy and I again in Megamall. :)

Eventhough she’s actually my Grandmum, she’s the best Mom in the world. She ranks number 1 beside my Mama. :)

My Eulogy on Dad’s funeral.

My mom’s supposed to do the sharing but since she’s afraid all she’ll do is cry and not talk, I’m here. Honestly, most of us in our family put on a brave face and smile to everyone throughout this process but I’m not really sure if we got past this already. Every day I keep thinking Daddy’s still in New York, doing that one thing he loved the most— to eat. As you all know, Daddy loved to eat A LOT. I still remember Ninong Mark telling us over Skype when they thought that Dad had already recovered from his illness, he was fighting with Mommy over food. And we’d laugh because that’s typical of Daddy, to fight with Mom because he wanted eat more than he should. And we thought that was it. But then if it was, I wouldn’t be giving this message. One of the things that kept reminding me Daddy is Chowking. After his death there was never a time I’d pass through it on Malls and not stop to think of him and his joy whenever we ate there. He loved that place. Whenever they were home here, it was almost natural for us to look for an open Chowking Branch even if it was past midnight already. And during the entire duration of their stay we’d eat there almost every day.

Dad was a funny man. He had a short temper but still he made us laugh with his old jokes and his funny faces. He often teased Tita Tina to be his least favorite person in our family. So whenever we took pictures of them together he’d make weird and funny faces then we’d all laugh. Those were the good times— short and normal encounters with Dad, but it’s what I treasure the most. They were not home often so whenever they come home we see to it that they had a good time. We’d stage game shows and contests and we’d dance around Mom and Dad. Seeing happiness on their faces made every moment worthwhile even if it was nothing compared to what they’ve done for us.

Daddy was not just a grandfather to us. Aside from being a father, he was also our biggest fan. Taking pride in everything we accomplished be it academically or not. So whenever we exceled in something it became a must to tell Mom and Dad first. He loved hearing those things. I think somehow it made him feel like he too did a good job and so he’d spoil us with rewards. Dad almost gave everything to us. Whenever we need something we just tell him and without second thought he’d give to us. Even if sometimes it’s too much for us..

He would always lecture us about life and God. How we should put the Lord in the center of our lives and everything else will fall into place. Whenever we get into trouble when we were young, he would always know the right thing to say. We were not the best grand children a grandfather could ever have but even if sometimes all we did was disappoint him with our attitudes, he’d see past through it and he’d forgive us in a snap. He was the most kind and forgiving person I had ever come across with. Always proud and content of what he had, always gave everyone the benefit of the doubt and always believed in second chances. And I can’t put into words how much I’m thankful to our Lord for having such family in my life even if it was only for a short time. He was my inspiration. Dad, Mommy and my parents, they were the reason I became this young lady standing in front of you. So as much as it hurts me to see him go at least now I know he’s happy.. He’s with our Lord and he’s finally okay. And I guess by doing this, I gave him one last reason to be proud of the person I’ve become.

So Dad if you’re hearing this, I know you are. I miss you and I will always remember the things you have taught us. I love you, Dad. Thank you for everything.

Said I wasn’t gonna cry but I did. I broke down the instant I was up there looking on the grieving faces of my family…

My very first pair of pumps. :”»

Huwell.. It’s about time I learn how to wear shoes like this. I’m 21 and I still feel awkward whenever I’m wearing heels or anything that isn’t flat shoes. 

Saw this leopard-print pumps in Greenhills and I instantly fell inlove with it. :)

Had fun with GIFS. :)

Me and my cousin trying out a GIF App on my Ipod Touch. :)

Eh nagenjoy ako eh?

Artee! :)

Whoever is playing with me online, you win. Please stop. I nearly cried last night. Whatever I did, I am apologizing.

You win. I give up.
