My little pride

Dear Anak,

Being a mother to you is full of fun and surprises. I can no longer count the times you made me and your father stare at you for the longest time because we can't help but wonder how on earth did you grew up so fast and learn so many things already. 

I remember watching you as you faces the mirror, put some powder on your face and neck and then fixes your hair, and then dances whole-heartedly in some korean song you know, I remember calling Papay's attention to watch you as you folded your skirt for it to be as short that we can see your undies already, your father was like, OMG! haha. At the age of 5, you are a big fan of korean act already that we even dont know, thanks to ate Dat. You are so kikay, so vain than me. You would always want something sexy as you say. But, we are just letting you be you..I know when you get older things will change. Just enjoy being you anak.

Last night, you were so excited to tell me that you were the only one who got perfect in your quiz and all your classmates applauded you. I was so proud of you. I know how you hate it if you commit mistakes. I know, we have to do something with that attitude of yours. I always tell you that it doesn't matter even if you wont get the perfect score as long as you did your best in it. At this point I can tell that your not as good in math than you are with literacy. Well, where else will you get the genes right. I'm not good in math as well, so don't you worry. You're going to get through that, i know.

I am excited even more as you'll learn a lot of fun things, meet more friends..I am so glad that you're not that shy anymore. I always encourage you to make friends. It has always been my worry that you'll get bullied in school because I know you're very shy and silent. Please speak out your mind and talk to your friends, have fun in school don't be shy. Don't be afraid to say what's on your mind, because your mind is so brilliant even at your age.

I am so happy that you grew up to be so generous to everybody. You have a sweet heart that at times I feel so guilty that up to this time we cannot give you your little brother that you always wanted. I can see that slowly your maturing, you're acting like an ate to your younger cousins. It amazes me every time you talk and play with Arkin. Even though at times, you're maldita and so needy, but I truly understand that because mamay is working.

I have many more things to watch out and learn as the days and years will go by.

Just enjoy being a kid and don't rush up on things. I love you!
