happy birthday,ma!

When I was 5 years old,she patiently draw broken lines just for me to trace.That's when i learned how to write a perfect straight line.

When I was 7,she stood by me on my first english quizbee.I may not get the first place that time but she's there telling me that 3rd place isn't bad at all.

When I was 10,she helped me for the cutouts that says"please vote KARISSA ESTAL for Vice President".But still there when i lose the school election,saying "nice try!"

When I was 11, its priceless to see her putting those fancy medals on me.

When I was 14, she never get tired asking me questions from my messy notebook for my periodical exam.And who wakes me up early morning just to make sure,im ready for it.And her secret,her fried chicken every first day of school and every exam day!

When I was 15,she's been a bestfriend who listened on my "first crush stories"  and read my teenage love letters:)..

When I was 16,after i delivered my speech,teary-eyed..she's there giving me the loudest applause.And after the graduation rites,giving me tight hug and the usual tap on the shoulder.This time she told me the  heart melting words,I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

When I was 17,when i fall in love the first time..She supported me all the way.She even treats mark as her eldest son.She protected me from all the critics and she once advised me that "don't let anybody define you."

When i was 19,she pressed my white uniforms.And before i forget,if she got paid of doing the laundry,she was probably a millionaire:)

 

When I was 20 , she's the happiest when I passed the board exam.I may not top it,but for her i did it.:))

When i got my first salary,as a daughter.. the phrase,"thank you anak" is rewarding indeed.

But ..

Throughout my life i will be forever grateful for havin been blessed with the best mama who stood by me through thick and thin.I should be the one who will ceaselessly saying THANK YOU MA!

Thank you for being my mentor,my bestfriend and the driving force of my life.I learned to dream because I know I have a mother who believe that I always can..And out of all the moms,im lucky i got you!HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA BING! I love you as much as you love me.I miss you!:))
