Plot Twist of My 2018 (memoir)

March 12, 2018 I was in the mall with my dad. We are looking for a dress or any kind of formal clothes for out up coming “Holy Suffer” in our religion. While walking, me and my dad are talking about random stories. In the middle of our conversation, my dad told me “anak may sasabihin ako sayo about your kuya and his girlfriend”. At that moment, I felt a little bit of tense because I can sense that there is something serious happened with my brother and his girlfriend. Until my dad told me that he’s going to be a grandfather and I’m going to be an aunt.

When I heard the news, I was shocked yet happy and excited. Of course, I was shocked because that’s really really unexpected. However, I am excited and happy because I’m going to be an aunt soon.

June 29, 2018; is the day my niece was born. I am so happy the moment I saw her. She’s so beautiful just like her mom and his dad.

I will never forget the day she was born, and the day when I knew that I’m going to be an aunt.

Always expect the unexpected. I’m so grateful to be her aunt, and to have a niece like her. She’s one of the best gift to our family. And she is the plot twist of my 2018.

Familia (poem)

God gave us a special family,
that we can call our own.
A family that loves us for who we are,
so we would never feel alone.

They may not like everything we do
or everything we say,
but the beautiful thing about family
is that they love us anyway.

Family,

The strongest team, the strongest unit.

If love could be visualized,

They will be the blueprint.

We have a lot to be thankful for,
The memories through the years.
The many times together,
Full of laughter, full of tears.

They never turning our back, and never placing shames, Lending helping hand and not a finger pointing the blame, Always be loving, always be there, They will always be with you and always be fair.
