Days are long but years are short🥲
This year, Sophia is now in highschool, Grade 7 (can you believe it?😭), Jolo started SNED and Bella is now Junior Kinder.
Having 3 school kids is pure hard work, no joke. I see them grow and thrive, I am proud🥹 I pray they be surrounded with good and kind hearted people, always🙏
As I look into my child’s eyes Brimming with hope and delight A soul pure, innocent and shy A bright moonlight on a night sky How I yearn for him to speak His words and thoughts, I always seek Oftentimes I feel selfish Life before him, I long and reminisce Many times I question myself why I have such heavy burden in my life See this is not for the fainthearted Extra love and care he ever wanted He has a lifetime to learn I know Like the rest of us, although He’s making me wait a little longer to mend Please say it’ll be worth it in the end Yet in such a short period of time He made us all humble and wise He turned me into a better person Maybe he’s my life’s purpose all along As I look into my child’s eyes Brimming with hope and delight I can see clearly now why Heaven sent me an angel in disguise
I made this poem as advocacy material for my CSN short course.🙂
Here are some of my favorite shots from our ugly sweater photoshoot! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from us to you🎄We are truly thankful 🙏

My baby Bella just turned 1 this month! How was it 1 year already?😩 The baby I wished for one last time, it felt just like yesterday when I said she is finally here. The sleepless nights, the exhaustion, the demands of having a newborn.. they really do passed by. The nights are long but the years are short, indeed.🥲
Nowadays I cannot seem to keep up with her! Walking, climbing, messing, tinkering with everything. She’s such a handful😫 But I’m at this stage again where I’m torn if I want her to stay as a baby (smiling, cooing, excited for her next milestones) or a bigger version (I cannot wait to see her as a schooler!) Oftentimes I feel melancholic that this babyhood is the last. Oh how I love and cherish this season of my life! Undoubtly having small kids is the hardest but I know I will yearn for it when the time comes.
My dear Bella, whatever you grow up to be, remember you are special, you are more than enough, and mostly, you are so loved! Happy birthday my darling Bella!😘 Mommy loves you like I love a dozen chocolate bars! (maybe even more😘)
Here’s Bella’s first 11 months 🫠
Our little Isabella was baptized at 5 months old! It was a triple celebration since March 19 is also my husband’s birthday and the anniversary of his parents (my in-laws). A lot of friends and relatives also came, so its some sort of reunion after 2 years into the pandemic.
God bless you Isabella! May His love and grace be with you forever and always.🙏

My child Sophia, she amazes me in so many ways. Piano, ballet, voice and swimming lessons.. and she’s even doing good with her school works. Wow, I want to be just like her when I grow up 🤩
Here is Sophie’s 2nd recital video. She just started taking lessons April this year. Proud of you always Sophie!

Our little Isabella has arrived! Born on October 4, 2021 9:18AM via CS. Weighs 7.2lbs and 50in long. Delivered by Dra. Elsie Pascua and her team at SLMC-QC.
Thank you Dra. for helping me conceive and delivering my bunso, for holding my hand when I was scared at the operating table. It was a bittersweet moment since I had to undergo CS operation when baby decided last minute to change position and became transverse.
Our 3rd and last October baby, happy birthday Isabella! Thank you Lord!🙏
This could be my last pregnancy, and I’m thankful beyond words I get to have a 3rd child, something I only dreamed about a year ago. As much as I would like to have more babies, I am always reminded of the adeno pain, and how I went through so much to have another child again. Plus I am now 40 years old. I would like my uterus to retire for good.
In celebration of my last pregnancy and 40th birthday, I did my first and last maternity shoot. I may not have the celebration I wanted for a 40th birthday, but I am thankful, blessed to be spending 40 years of existence with the people I love and treasure the most. I look forward to many more healthy, long and fruitful years spent with my family. ❤️
