1. Being questioned when you yourself don’t understand.
2. Pretending to be innocent of what you know about.
3. Trying to forget something you know you never will.
4. Admitting you were wrong after you have been so insistent that you were right.
5. Debating with yourself.
6. Accepting the fact that some things are not meant to be.
7. Trying to understand when you just can’t.
8. Realizing that you have been tricked after you have given your whole trust.
9. Parting ang letting go of someone you’ve loved all your life.
Once upon a time I put the word "little" before their name. Now they're not qualified in the category anymore. It makes me sad how fast time flies and how they've grown at a blink of an eye.
Here are my girls sporting their Chucks just before movie night. *sigh*
Now on our last stop, Miag-ao Church.
I'm not sure if it's really the time of the year when churches do their renovation, or is it just us in such a bad time. Anyways, this has been hailed by UNESCO unfortunately, each brick is also a memory of our ancestors hard or forced labor.
We had a blast appreciating the detail of this wonderful church, at the same time, we paid homage to those who helped build this church.
Now we're in Guimbal Church. We loved that right across it was their nice plaza where we got to hang out in.
It was a rather small church compared to the others we've been in. And I've just noticed that I have no pictures of the interior of the church.
This was a rather short stop, I guess we're all looking forward to head to the next.
We were supposed to stop by Molo Church, but there was a wedding so we headed straight to Tigbauan Church.
This has been quite a surprise for me, I've never seen a church with this much mosaic in one particular church as theirs. I was really stunned with the images, it's just a proof of Filipino's talent and ingenuity even back in the days.
Besides the mosaic, the interior was just as expected from any other church. I just can't stop talking about the mosaics, it really sets it apart from all other churches I've been in.
We had a photo op on this door, which we have no idea where it leads to, seems like a door to a secret garden or something.
We went around the place, I'm glad that they had a mini garden.
OK, off to the next.
Whenever we're in Iloilo, we're either just in the shop, at home or hanging out with friends. What's more to do in Iloilo? My siblings and I decided to do a "Church Tour". First stop, Jaro Cathedral.
The time we arrived, it seemed to be doing some minor restoration in the church. But nonetheless, we had the chance to go around.
I love history, but I can't explain to my daughter why the bell tower of Jaro Cathedral is a few meters away from the church itself. There was no one to ask around, so we just left the question unanswered.
Now off to the next.
I can't believe it's almost been 2 months! I feel life it's just been a couple of weeks.
If not for family, I'm not sure if I'll find myself home at any time. Every little moment spent with family is always an endearing memory.
It has been 9 years since mom left, but every holidays it always seems like she was just in a tour somewhere and that she'll be back soon. I give my dad credit for doing his best to raise our family. Thank you dad for giving us all the love that you can, eventhough sometimes there's nothing more to give.
The best thing about having kids around is their love for crazy ideas. I would like to think that the kids got the better of us. They made us jump around with these things, just for them to beat us in their own game.
Love, love, love from my family to yours.
