You'll be a dalaga soon. I could hardly believe how fast time has gone. You used to be this carefree girl who did weird photo poses and who wore pink pasabog clothing. I remember when I used to tie your hair sideways and dress you up in dresses for Sunday mass. Now, you are all prim and proper, but wouldn't wear dresses, skirts and pink.
Everyday, I am amazed by your kindness and selflessness. You were always ready to play rough with your brothers. They'd make you cry then, you'd play with them again. You were always the forgiving one and who would do favors for others. You would indulge your brothers and Daddy when they request for cookies or french toast in the middle of the afternoon.
Everyday, I am amused by your kikayness. Who else would were rings and necklaces at home? Who would sleep with sleeping masks on? I know you try on my nail polish and my make-up. I could smell them and I see the dirty make-up remover sheets in the trash.
I couldn't imagine spend the day on endless Google Meets with friends, watching "Sofia, The First" or your K-Pop faves. But you could do it. Hopefully, we can take that girls' trip to SK soon and chase after those pretty looking dudes. Hahaha
You are never afraid to try new things, to take leadership roles in school or sports, to try out new recipes you found in TikTok or to practice that new art technique. I hope you continue that even when you are older.
I am glad that you are not rushing to grow up. I do not think I'm ready for that yet.
Just keep building your bucket list. With hard work and persistence, we'll get to them eventually.
XOXO
Mama
