Valentine’s Day 2026!

-


Nat has a class today even if it is a Saturday. It has been scheduled to make up for the ‘NO CLASSES’ days since December due to typhoons. Their teacher even announced a PTA meeting by 2:30PM and the release of grades too. This falls on a Valentine’s Day!

I was not expecting anything. Valentine’s Day to me is just a normal day, nothing special, nothing extraordinary. Or maybe, I am not just used to it.

Instead, M surprised me and Sush of a gift. How sweet! 


Sush's gift.

M's gift to me!




She also bring some more that we have enough to give, even to my sisters.


In the afternoon, I’m excited to hopefully give M a treat of ‘Beef Sate’ at Harbour City ICM. I was hoping that she would like it being hot and spicy.

Unfortunately, she was not feeling well and the rain did not stop, so Sush and I decided to just fetch Nat from school and take a TVS on the way to the City.

Nat was already waiting at school when we arrived. He looked uninterested. He looked tired. LOL.

Most of the time, we can’t even find him because he is just really playing at the playground and there are different locations of his place to play.

I decided to take them for a Valentines Date at Sunburst. Sush is very noisy and can’t keep her mouth shut. We just ordered a little food to munch on. 

Fruit salad.

Sotanghon soup.



Mango shake.


Coleslaw.

Nat N Sushi.

Before he can tease me.


Mama and Sushi.

The teasing begin.

Do they even have the slightest idea of what V' Day means? ;)

When not arguing.



Need this selfie :)

Surprisingly, they feast on the fried chicken. I find Sunburst’s chicken to be REALLY good! I would like to come back there, just for it ;)


So, it was an unforgettable day for me. Not easy, but possible.


I like the ambience of Sunburst!

Thankful for their age when I can now take them anywhere, even if it is always challenging to do so.

My Sweet Sushmita

  On the way to work, M shared to me that Sush always wanted her to pick me up from work at 5pm. Sush always said that she misses me. And once, Sush mentioned that she wanted her to buy a PINK flower. When she asked why, Sush said she wanted to give to Mama. This sweet little girl knows how to make me happy :)

Childhood Trauma Post ~

My eyes caught someone's post in FB today, and I can resonate with this for myself and my kids. " We often think that just because we dealt with feeling neglected or abandoned as a child, we become “okay” as adults. We tell ourselves “Matanda na’ko. Tapos na yun”. (I'm a grown up now, I'm done with that). The reality is this: the wound left by our mother or father that has not been addressed will continue to bleed in every aspect of our lives. Majority of the time, these wounds will keep showing up in our relationships regardless if it’s personal, professional, or even intimate. Childhood trauma lingers unless we face it. Life is short. Make peace with your parents. This could be the final piece of the puzzle that will complete you. " - Jose Enrico V. Libunao This is definitely true and I hope that despite their special life beginnings, Sush and Nat will be able to bounce back in life in a positive way and be able to face their past without any ill feelings.

His First Movie Ever ~

  Today Nat and I went to ICM to watch the movie 'Song of the Fireflies'. The movie was something I can anticipate when it comes to the theme and how it may appear. It was important for me not to miss it because the movie is something that a Boholana like me can be proud of. It was all about how the Loboc Children's Choir originated. Two reasons why I excitedly decided to watch it even if it was not mandatory: 1) I miss the cinema, the feeling of watching the big screen (not Netflix). 2) I want Nat to experience it himself, it was his first and this may not be available someday It was not easy to accomplish since the movie would start at 7:30AM, and so we have to be at the City before that. We left home at around 6:30AM so gladly we still have enough time to be there and find some chips to go with our movie time. We bought food at 7eleven Task Us building.  It was a combination of unhealthy ones to entertain our palate while watching ;) Waiting for the time when we can ente...
