Somewhere, there's a place for us...

 

My mother's favorite. I was surprised when i heard my 6-year old niece singing this. 

We’ll find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere... Somewhere... Somewhere...
There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow...
Someday, somewhere...

i still believe that somewhere near the steepy mountains and rocky roads, there is a nice place for us.

two people.

nothing much to say. you should know that you are still the most beautifullest of all. (i remember the term i used when i was in my third grade, when my teacher ask us to draw and describe our parents, and i drew you and dad, you in your ribboned hair and checkered chinese collared white blouse  and pencil cut blue skirt. and dad in his long sleeved and famous hat. i thought you were a teacher because you looked like one, so i told the class that you were. maybe my taecher was surprised and laughing at me that time. well, i do not care. what i want is you to be happy. happy birthday, mother!

dad, this day is also for you. for all i know,  you will always be the only handsome man i know who ever existed in this lifetime. and i think i won't marry any guy because of that! hehe. i ♥ you BIG!

an open letter to my mother

dear nay, 

actually, i do not know why i am writing this letter, when i already greeted you with a birthday cake this morning, but maybe, that's not enough. i really do not know where to start, In case you don’t know, i'm never really used to getting mushy when it comes to showing emotions. .

i had hundreds of questions running in my head when i was a kid, but never did i dare to ask any question , don't worry i wont ask anymore. i now do understand things which a fourth grader wont understand then. now, i feel so sorry for those wars i waged against you. For those sleepless nights that i made you think about what made me into a cruel creature who doesn’t seem to care about anyone but myself. For all those times that i’ve caused you pain. Of course, those were all unintentional. I am most thankful to God for making me realize things. I am much thankful to Him for having you as my mother. You are the most patient woman i've ever met. i do not know how you were able to handle everything, maybe, you are a superwoman, that after all the storms and stuff, you were still able to surpass everything. and that made me appreciate you more. Actually, there's no exact word i know to crow about how marvelous it is to have you as my mother, and never had there been a single moment in my life that i thought of having somebody else to stand as my mom. and, i'll be forever thankful to God for giving you to me, to us.

Happy birthday.

i'll be your forever angel,
