Day 37

I don't know how to start but there's just a lot of things that I am so happy about on this special day. First, let me start with an overwhelming feeling brought about by people whom I know have graduated successfully. Over the top graduating as doctors.

Camille, the youngest in amongst my childhood friends

Camille, graduated from University of Santo Tomas (my alma mater), earning a bachelor degree in the field of medicine. Being the youngest in their family, she had fulfilled her dad's last wish before passing away. Together with her mom, Tita Baby and brother, Dee-Jay, happiness just overflows from this picture as they all give out a thankful smile. Congratulations to you.

Onto the province of Romblon, Mervyn Fernandez, another childhood friend, graduated as a doctor too. His twin sister, Jillian and older brother, Kuya Bon-bon came and visit me last year celebrating my 31st birthday revealing a small world right on my face with Ate Merly. I recently just found out that we were all connected in a special way. He wasn't able to come with them because he was in his graduating year and he was pretty much needing time to focus. Well-earned Mervs. Congratulations to you and I'm pretty sure your parents are so proud of you.

To my cousin Keanu, who recently just graduated too, congratulations and I am praying that you would be able to sustain having such greatness thru medals and honours until your college years. Wishing you all the best and I'm proud of you too.

And amongst all of these kids, I am also proud of Renzo and Patricia Tan, my god brother and god sister for being named as Philippines best mathematicians. Amongst the entire 4th year high school, Enzo was awarded first and Patricia, 4th amongst all Grade 3. This article leads to where their names are enlisted.

Last but not the least, away from academic talk, I am truly happy that my husband is celebrating his birthday today. I know that not all are given such gift but he's strong, healthy and alive on this very day. And there's nothing else I would hope for but for him to stay as is as long as possible.

Hogan and Kyte thru the years.

Today is a very nice day. There are so many blessings experienced and though some are not directly affecting me, I am happy for the parents, friends and supporters who had made all of these events happen.
