I’m writing this with the hope that something better emerges during the summer break. This has been a problem I’ve been trying to resolve since my designation at work shifted from full-time school administrator to full-time faculty member. The change in position came with a different salary and employment terms. While struggling with a decrease in monthly salary since August of last year, I also have to prepare myself for the summer break. The change in employment meant I would not receive any compensation during the summer break.

Many years ago, I used to discover promising brands and products through blogs and instagram accounts of famous personalities. In Filipino parlance, budol finds. Today, my source of budol shifted to You Tube and Tiktok. 

Recently, I discovered Eve & Adam from both my Tiktok and Instagram accounts. They introduce themselves as a local producer of bags for women. After stalking the brand and reviews for several months, I gave in. I purchased this Anika Baguette Sling Bag through their Shopee account.

I thought I had enough when my brother was hospitalized early this year. It wasn't until the month of June came. I received both good and bad news. My father's cataract surgery is finally happening.

This is how I remember the house of Tita Emy in Bulacan.

A few weeks ago, I finally had the chance to visit my mother's hometown. If things had gone my way, I would have done it with only my dad and my special brother. I had hoped the three of us could visit Tita Emy’s resting place together. Our family will always share a special relationship with Tita Emy.

The roads leading to Tagaytay have so much to offer. Some places are waiting to be discovered, quietly tucked away from the usual tourist trail. Then there are those that have been around for years, silently existing in plain sight, yet somehow still overlooked.
