Made It Through Mum

When was the last time you dreamed, prayed, and offered that dream to the Lord? It was March 15, 2025, when I decided to take my family to the Philippine International Pyromusical Competition (PIPC), as it was scheduled for its final showing of the year. We arrived at SM Mall of Asia (MOA) at around 7:00 PM, delayed by heavy traffic. We headed toward spots recommended on social media—places known for unobstructed views, open space, and best of all, free admission. We explored the parking building, checking several levels, but every possible vantage point was already taken; some people had even set up viewing spots on top of their cars. Hoping for better luck, we went inside the mall, where I had heard there were good views, but those areas were already closed to the public.

Congratulations, Kuya RC!  And here I am again, lost for words kasi mauuna ang iyak. Kaya ko ito... (*drinks warm water* inhale-exhaaaaaale) whew! Game. After the mass. Si Mama, feeling matangkad 😂  📷 BFF Vincent ❤ 040318❤ First of all, THANK YOU . Thank you kay Lord kasi na-witness ko pa ang isa na namang milestone ng aking firstborn. Alam mo kung gaano ako ka-grateful kay God for my second life. Kahapon pa lang sa mass ng school nyo, napaiyak na ako, pinigilan ko lang kasi nahiya ako sa mga nanay na katabi ko. 😂  Ito lang naman ang lagi kong pinagp-pray ang makita ko pa kayong magkakapatid na makatapos ng pag-aaral tapos, okay na ako siguro dun. Pwede na kasi baka kalabisan na ang extension na hiningi ko. Thank you kasi kahit hindi tayo perfect family ginagawa mo ang lahat ng makakaya mo. Apektado ka sa lahat ng bagay pero nilalabanan mo. Dedma lang ✌ SORRY . sorry kung minsan tinitiis kita na hindi tulungan sa mga ginagawa mo kasi gusto ko matuto...
