September 8

Buongiorno guys! Got a lot on my mind lately and I’m starting to get busy again. I’m in the final 3 weeks of this semester and final requirements are rearing their ugly heads. I have my case studies to finish, investigatory projects and to top it all off, we have a presentation on Kapampangan Literature and culture (believe me; it’s not as easy as it sounds). But I’ve put everything on hold right now to make this post. So, what makes this post so special? Today, is MY MOM’S BIRTHDAY

She’s the best mom in the world. That’s the best way to describe her completely. Offer me someone different and I shall refuse your offer and then convince you on every point, the advantage of having her as my mother. She has been nothing but selfless and caring, two traits she shares with my dad. I call her mom, not Mama, not Inay (tagalong of mother), not Mommy. I remember when I was young, everything she said was right. Every time she gave me advice, taught me lessons, or even when she screamed at me, I know now she was right. Who was I to make things hard for her? Here she is taking care of the four of us, and all I did was mess up! Ever the black sheep of the family. LOL…

My mom is an amazing person; she manages to make everything work. She works hard and gets along with a lot of people really well (too bad I didn’t inherit this! LOL!). She is very talented too! She writes really really really well! She makes my writing skills, as little as they are, seem very amateurish! I remember on my first year in college, I wanted to join Frontliner (newspaper of our campus) and I asked her to proofread my work. When I came back, I saw her editing my work and when I read the parts she changed, it really seemed like a professional was writing it! Too bad it happened only once; I could have asked her to proofread more articles! LOL! My theory on why she writes well is because she is a total bookworm! If I could only show you her vast collection of pocketbooks! From Tom Clancy to Stephen King to Sydney Sheldon! Name it, she’s probably read it! I wonder why she didn’t try to make a living out of writing. I should ask her that…

Her love is unconditional, as do most mothers. If not, I wouldn’t be here blogging right now. I’d probably be in jail! LOL! Too much information! Just kidding! I don’t know if my mom will kill for me, probably not, but I would for her…Okaaaay, you’re getting to morbid for this post Jigs! LOL! She is very versatile. She is a very classy and sophisticated woman but knows when to get down and dirty! She pushes me and my siblings to our full potential, never letting us settle with second best. I know she wants the best for us and I know she wants wants us to be successful in life. I love her for that. I need someone to motivate me to grabe life by the horns. I am a lazy bum! LOL! Anyway, let me end this short introduction and small tribute to my mother by saying, if you ask me how much I value my mom, I wouldn’t know where to start. I wouldn’t be here without her, literally. No words… Absolutely no words, in any language, can express my outmost love, affection and gratitude for having her in my life. Nobody’s perfect, but she sure does come close…Love you mom…

P.S. Don’t worry dad I’ll make you one too on your birthday! LOL!

P.P.S. I’m pretty sure you’re sick of my weekly updates on Rockstar: Supernova, I just can’t help it! It just keeps getting better and better! For this week each rocker sang their original songs and they were killer songs with killer performances. My favorite original song was LADYLIKE by Storm Large! She also sang suffragette city by David Bowie. She was just flawless that night! Dilana rocked with her song Supersoul and sung beautifully Behind blue eyes by The Who. Lucas’s original titled Headspin was full of emotion! Magni’s original (I forgot the title) and Toby’s Throw it away rocked the house down! Toby has grown tremendously and I am enjoying his performances! Unfortunately, Storm said goodbye last night. The Final Four: DILANA, MAGNI, LUCAS and TOBY!
