with my *ehem* two-time professional mom in her graduation dress

finishing a college course in one of the finest schools in the Philippines isn't a joke . imagine expenses here and there, the teachers who'll naggingly make you pay every meeting even for no reason, and the hotel rates you have to pay every stay, 4 hours of driving in baffling roads, competing with unscrupulous drivers for your life and of course, the stretched distance between batangas and manila. besides, spending hundreds of thousands for several months isn't a joke either.

well, it is her night so she truly prepared for that and showed that simplicity and extravagance can blend. yes, you read that right. she wore an extravagant black DKNY dress and matched it with her Fendi stilettos and dkny bag but still managed to look simple with her hair just ponytailed and her makeup done by me. how fabulous.

i am so proud of my mom. she conquered her tiny demons of idleness and has indeed showcased her patience, passion and perseverance. she did not fall into a trial of paying 25 thousand bucks just to get free from making her thesis even though she once thought of doing so. i'm so pleased with what she did because if I am in her shoes, i would've just paid and soar in pleasures.


i made my own copy of Time magazine with my mom in the cover crowned as "Woman of the Year".

she shed her sweat and blood down to the very last drop and slog her body for her family and other people. she showed an overwhelming compassion to the needy and had found immense passion in it.

i am not being biased(because she's my mom)but i must say she really deserves this .

treats

yesterday was an extremely exhausting day. i enjoyed the long hours we spent on the road, gazing at wonderful sights and reflecting on awe-inspiring structures though i am sleepless all throughout. who can sleep in a safari full of chuckling friends, with food and drinks overflowing and good music playing?

we're all groggy that night and feeling the urge to pee so we dropped by Treats then had dinner at pancake house . i love their pork vienna and their fruitshake! love love love !
