2 years ago, I bought pizza. We watched movies. Me, mom and tita.

A year ago, I brought pasta and chicken. We watched soaps. Me and mom.

Today. I bought ice cream. And i stare at my monitor. It's just me now.

I miss celebrating my birthday with you both.

The teasing, the second and third serving of our favorite treats, giving our own theories on the movie plots, sleeping in the middle of the film and having to catch up, cheering for the handsome character. I miss you both...…

Before life happens and memory fails,

pieces of you here I'll state.

To you, the beauty that bore me life,

I'll never forget, you'll never fade.

- she calls me precious

- she loves Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust Pizza and made it our staple celebration treat for birthdays, anniversaries etc.

- she adored Barbara Streisand

- she had a crush on Robert Redford

- her best love advice is: Be with a guy that would treat you like a princess…
