mY cOuRaGe cAkE


I really really miss you.

I'm so excited to bake a cake for you. I hope you will like it. Ann taught me how to bake a cake and I know this is simple task but this means a lot to me. I even called this cake a "courage cake" coz for some reasons. First, I disturbed Ann to teach me how to do that on our most precious holiday (when we were supposed to go for shopping).Second, I put all my efforts on baking a cake, as Ann said I was very serious while I was doing it. Third, this is my first time to prepare a cake for my very special love …. My three nephews (who else!).

I am longing to see you.

Hey, I have to wait for seven long months to go home and see you; and now I am making a to-do and where-to-go list for my one month vacation. The good news is: dyaraaaan…. I will spend my whole month vacation with you, my little princes!

Actually, this is my way of making it up with you. Remember, the last time I went home and spent my vacation. I went out with my friends most of the time and kept you waiting. My favorite nephew even slept on my bed, was waiting for me for long hours. I'm sorry, guys!

Anyway, here's my to-do and where-to-go list. I hope you'll love this. Any suggestions? You are free to do so. Just let me know, okay? Well, take a look at my list.

1. Visit the hometown of your mom and I. Wow, guys I'll show you the park where your mom and I used to play till sunset. Of course, our childhood is not complete, if I will not tell you how we climbed mango trees when were young! You bet! I remember, your mom was always scolding you whenever she saw you climbing the trees (Ha-ha-ha! Now, she knew what was our mother's feeling when we were doing that kind of thing!)
2. Visit Manila Zoo and Luneta Park – Aiyo! This is where my favorite nephew's favorite place. Come to think of it, maybe the animals from the Zoo are reminding him of his father and his relatives from father's side! (Joke! Peace, guys!).
3. Watching movies like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings for the nth time. I'll never get bored watching movies with you, guys. I even am starting to collect dvd movies that suits your age.
4. How about eating irresistible barbecue, balut, kwek-kwek and tukneneng? I'll teach you also how to eat not-so ripe papaya with vinegar, or guava w/ vinegar. I'm sure, you're imagining how many mangoes w/ alamang or bagoong are we going to eat. Wow! Can't wait!
5. Hmmmm….wanna try stargazing at night from our rooftop and wait for the wishing star till we get stiff neck? He-he-he.
6. I'll teach you how to make a kite and make it fly high. (Nah, am I dreaming, I don't know how to do that!) But for you, I'll try or maybe I'll ask somebody to teach me first. Does anybody know how to do it? C'mon, I need your help.
7. Of course, how can I forget, your Jollibee's favorite chicken joy! Eat till you drop, guys!
8. I'm on a diet but for you, my dear ones, I'll forget it for the meantime coz…dyaraan… I'll join you in eating keloggs w/ milk on your midnight snack!
9. And… baking a courage cake for you! I know, only your mom can bake your favorite cake but don't underestimate me, huh. I'm 100% sure, you will love my mouth-watering cake. Oooohhhh.

I know this is not enough. Don't worry your pretty tita is still thinking of the ways how to make it more enjoyable and unforgettable.


Well, I just hope that I can make you happy, my princes. Though, I know you still want your mom besides you. Just try to understand, she's working hard in a foreign country (just like me) to give you a better life but then, always remember that she's always thinking of you everyday. The reason why she has the courage to live is because of you, my princes.

Can't wait to see ya!
