My Loving LOLA INGGA...

A simple widow but with a generous heart for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. At 86, she's still living a full life with lots of love to offer to her family. She may look weary but she never grows tired caring for us in her own little ways.

Thank God for a great LOLA!!!

We love our TITA YOLLEN....

There's a unique way on how my Tita Yollen cares for all her pamangkins...And I'm the luckiest being her very first niece - so blessed to receive her exclusive love and admiration when I was a child. She has wit and humor and a generous heart.

One thing for sure, "we love our Tita Yollen."

PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE....

My favorite subject is people. Because I value relationships more than anything else. My family and friends matter most to me. My blog has been an avenue in expressing my admiration and love for them. You may live just once, so take the chance of showing them how much you care. PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE....WE ALL NEED PEOPLE!!!

My cousin MILET...

She's my first cousin "Milet" - easy and fun to be with...Our bonding is usually an "eat all you can" at Don Henrico and a cup of coffee at Figaro. Our regular companion is the gigantic "Beteng."

I could still remember that we're both called "Itas" by our relatives, during our elementary days.

Bonding with my Tita Yollen

Yesterday, I went to Serendra with my Tita Yollen and her friend "Kookoo." I brought my digicam, but when I'm about to take pictures of the sceneries, I found out that there's no memory card. We just enjoyed the gourmet food at Contis. Though servings were small, we got full afterwards. We're very much amused with the comical tales of her gay friend, Kookoo.

It's been years since I last bonded with my Tita Yollen..so when she invited me out, I said yes right away. She's one of those few people who've showered me with love and affection during my childhood days. Great memories with her is one of my best gifts in life.

"Few Good Men"

It's been two years since he went home for a vacation with his family. And now, our good friend is back! Rommel, better known as "Gabs Pogi" is one of the most pleasant guys I've ever known. He always has a ready smile to everyone. A career in public service is best suited for his awesome personality.

It's true that there are only "Few Good Men" and we're so proud that you're one of them!

God bless you and your beautiful family!

Beautiful Tandem....

Meet my friend Annazel with her equally beautiful daughter Danna...

They're both chic and charming. They got wit and humor...and a soft heart!!!

How I wish they're my children....

I was just thinking if I got married at a young age...maybe, my children are grown ups now!...Not by choice that I'm still single...Of course, I've experienced falling in and out of love...And I do have my "baby dreams."

In my workplace, two of my colleagues love calling me "Mama Kat." I don't mind because they're both loveable and a lot younger than me. They are none other than my dream son and daughter - Kristian and Jacq.

Kristian is warm and friendly. He's the first one who called me "Mama Kat." Jacq is confident and articulate. She always has a ready smile to everyone and has a unique, contagious kind of laughter.

You may agree with me that they look good together and I'm an avid fan of them. I may not be their biological mom but I just love them both!!! They're authentic, easy and fun to be with....

la, la, la, la, la, la, la........

My blog has showcased a lot of special people in my life. I won’t forgive myself if I can’t find a space on the web, to compliment my one and only sister. She is a Doctor of Medicine, at the age of 27. My parents supported her education throughout, with the generous help of our close relatives.

When my sister passed the boards last year, I was the one hysterical. We broke into tears and hugged each other. My mother’s blood pressure shot up when she heard us screaming. My brother was just smiling while staring at us. My father, who was in Saudi during that incident, sent me a text message that he was on cloud nine. He’s very thankful because he had religiously prayed the rosary daily for a month. It was one of the touching moments in our family history.

My sister is a fusion of the positive traits of my parents.We fondly call her Lala – a name suited for a person who’s been a source of joy and inspiration to her family and friends. Please join me and let’s cheerfully sing together, “la, la, la, la, la, la, la….”

Desiree

Desiree is her name because she’s indeed desirable – well-loved by her family and friends. She is a loving and doting mother of Joshua and Jad.

I could still remember that Dhez, Weng, Alvin and Jessie were among my first few friends at Telemoney. They easily accepted me in their group. And we shared a lot of fun memories together.

Weng and I are both grateful that we’ve found true friendship in you. We salute you for all the sacrifices you've been doing for your kids and your family.

You’ll always be in our thoughts and prayers. We love and miss you, friend!
