You, Intin, with the yellow set of teeth and comical hair that always looked teased. And, eyes that reflects contentment amidst nothing so glamorous. You, who i have always thought of as a petite version of Quasimodo with over-sized polo and farmer-folded pants. They never fail to amaze me, really. It was a big mistake of mine not to talk to you about the culture that you grew up with. How your parents looked like. How you met the love of your life. Inay said you came from a tribe from Negros, and as a kid then, i was scared, and would just content myself from seeing you a far getting fire woods and “pongapong” for the pigs, or simply helping in the farm stuff. But now, I am filled with happiness that, finally, you will feel the tight embrace of the ONE who really loves you. Thank you for giving three beautiful people in our family, Vic, Ate Liza and Jimmy. We are indebted to you because of this.

oftentimes, interesting lives came from those barefooted, with calloused hands and feet, who has never been to malls and only knows of "jolebe" instead of jollibee, who salivates each time the crunchy chicken legs pop on TV, wondering "ano kaya lasa ng jolebe?"...those who does not know to brag because they knew they are too less fortunate...more often, we failed to recognize they are far interesting than flashy people glittering in gold.
