Poki wearing his new collar that I bought today :3

When I was a kid, I always thought that the price of that Safari chocolate was about a hundred pesos since our house helper always told me we couldn’t afford it. Whenever she fetches me in school, I always ask her to buy me one and her line was always, “Di nato na ma-afford ui” (We can’t afford that). 

I had brought that thought with me ever since. I actually avoided buying that thing. When I recently saw it in one of the stands in the mall, reality slapped me in the face real hard. The chocolate’s price was way lesser than my initial thought. Tang-ina. I really believed in that crazy freak. I should have indulged myself with tons of these if only I knew that the real price was way lesser than what she had implanted in my mind. 

Childhood fail.

Little Derpina came, tried to help me review my Bio notes but gave up eventually :D She was like, “what’s all this shiz? Booooooring ZzZz” LOLJK :P

That amazing woman next to me? She’s no other than my super lola. Super, as in despite her old age, her level of awesomeness had never gone down. It isn’t her birthday or anything but let me just tell you a few things why I have so much respect for this person, aside from the fact that she’s my own lola. 

For one, she’s already 86 years old, yet, she can still mend and wash clothes, calculate possible numbers to bet on suertres (LOL), and even go up to our farm in the province. There’s only a few old people out there who reaches 86 and is still very able in doing what they had been doing when they were younger. Although the only things that slows her down is her arthritis and high blood pressure, she still tries her best to stay alive and kicking ;D. 

Another thing, she rarely forgets a thing. Tayo nga, ang babata pa natin pero minsan makakalimutin na tayo pero lola ko daig pa si Einstein pagdating sa memory LOL. Kidding aside, she could even remember even the smallest things. She even remembers my class schedule!

I hope God would still continue to bless her with a healthy mind and body. I want her to be there to witness every hard work I will do to become successful. I want her to be there when I get my first salary from my first job or when I get married and have kids someday.

And another thing, I still have to take her to Spain! My lola’s so fluent in Spanish, your ears are going to bleed LOL. If God permits, I still want my super lola to be there to see me become who I always wanted to be.
