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.

I’ve been meaning to write a post since mid-April. But life happened or should I say, there is more in life that happened. At this point, I can finally say it. April outdid March in terms of unexpected events and first time experiences.

What is it with the month of March?

I always have the most memories during this month. Four years ago, it marked the start of the nationwide lockdown in the Philippines. What we thought as a week long break extended to months then years. My past social media posts were mostly the situation at home and grocery trips with my father.

One month down in 2025!

What they always say about January, it's the longest month of the year. True enough I had my share of events on the first month of the year. I checked my phone and uploaded a few that made the past weeks.

Scared is what you're feeling. Brave is what you're doing. – Emma Donoghue 

After September 2021, I have always struggled celebrating Christmas and New Year. I appreciate the festive atmosphere around as the holiday approaches. But at home, it has always been different since my mother passed away. Looking back, we have survived four holidays together: me, Dad and my older brother. There are so much to be grateful for. In the end, I close my eyes and end the day with a contented heart. Having a safe and comfortable home, a stable job, food for everyone and more importantly, good health, these are more than enough blessings.

In a few weeks, another year is about to end. Save the classic lines: looking back, time flies, so much has changed...

I'm tempted to use those overused phrases. As always, I don't know where and how to start. My projects for 2024 ended last week. It's one of the rare times when I can spend weekends without thinking about deadlines. We still have work to do. But I feel relieved that the core projects are over. See you again next year, for another batch of patience testing and mental health gaming episodes.
