I celebrated my 26th birthday on the 2nd. Can't wait for another bountiful year! :)
Most of my favorite people on earth were also born on this month.
April 1 - Kuya Edgar. My beloved bestfriend. We seldom see each other already but ours is a friendship beyond silence and distance.
April 8 - Melai. My bestfriend by heart. We were not labeled bestfriends but we have a deep connection by heart. She was my most influential person 12 years ago. How I long to be enlightened by your wisdom again. I miss you!
April 9 - Ating. My elder sister. Trivia: We are only 11 months and 3 weeks apart. Thus, we have the same age in a week every year. Love that! I have an excuse not to call her ate :)
April 10 - Rain and Shine. The twin sisters are my friends for nearly a lifetime. :) Another great people on earth. Proud of you both! Hugggssss! (That's Shine then Rain in the picture.)
Ate My. A fabulous woman! Her life's insights have become an inspiration to me. I love you te! You're such a gift to me.
April 13 - Nene Ging-ging. My eldest sister. A woman I admire. Ever since chilhood, I look up to her. Her life speaks of wonders. I wish you happiness and fulfillment Ne!
April 16 - Bobet. My youngest brother. Our baby has already turned into a man. How fast time can be. (Yes, we're all aries siblings except for one. :) Isn't that amazing ?!?)
April 25 - Pepep. My first ever bestfriend. A strong woman. I'll always cherish what we had.
Whew!!! Happy birthday to us all! Aries people reign my world! :)
Another celebration was the commencement exercises of Mindanao State University. I've been teaching in MSU for 4 years. My first four-year course students graduated. It was some kinda emotional for me. I felt I was getting older. ;| That caught me unaware. Omg! Anyhow, I've always been excited for graduations because everyone celebrates success. On my part as an educator, the moment I saw my once young and novice students marched the aisle, was a touch to the heart. I felt proud for all their hardworks have paid off. I felt expecting for the future that awaits them. As I recalled how they looked at me then and how their gazes have changed, their eyes send a strong message of continuously working hard but not for grades anymore but for the good of their being and their fellowmen.
And oh! This year, I became a part of the reception committee. :) Extending a little help in the university's special occasions fulfills one of my personal vows. "To be of service to the Filipino people." :)
