morning shoot

It's an early morning thing. Little brother wakes up 2 hours earlier than his big brother. Big brother wakes up and calls for his little brother. They sit while mama takes a picture. Nice way to start the morning.

My 8month old Macbook Pro has never been this swolen since Zaiid's crazy clay days. This is the work of my 8month old baby, showing his affection to our "appo" already.

His day is always full with his daily routine: cook, his usual car business, his BLD business, his whatever-a-Dadi-is-always-busy-with business... He still takes time to be with his apos. And who could blame a grandfather who feels every bit of peace and happiness with his grandbabies.

happy to come home.

So eager to go to school, equally eager to go home. His little brother awaits his kuya smelling dirt and crayons and sun. They say hi and kiss away forever. 

an insane amount of faith

I am always a believer of the Big Picture. Even how sour a day could be, or how deep I am swallowed by the biggest failure I made, I am sure that at the end of a hardship, there's always a bigger picture that says: you were part of that mess to sacrifice and achieve this grandest universal story. 

Faith is something no one can give you. It is rooted deeper than hope, or maybe love. Of course I could be wrong because this is just me, saying things that could at least erase any fears sleeping or lingering somewhere in my head. 

"With a little help of Rust-eze - and an insane amount of luck - you too can look like me. Ka-chow." says Lightning McQueen, but I'd like to rephrase it in my terms: With a little help of a wise plan and an insane amount of faith, everything will fall into place. Because we can only do so much and it's His time and His yes, that could move mountains. We can only plan, and hope, and believe that things will move according to His will.

And everytime, the Big Picture always put everybody in a smile.

his school castle

He loves the school playground where a big castle stands, a playmate who's so huggable, and the songs they sing before going home. But it's the school castle he loves above all, the biggest reason why we arrive 30 minutes before his class starts.

I know he'd miss this terribly when summer school ends and we fly back to Dubai. And there's no way a new place can duplicate this kind of happiness in Cebu. But we will try and look harder so he'd have a new adventure to keep with his papa and me and his little brother, a fuller kind of happiness.
