how fast time flies. my eldest daughter graduated from elementary last week. and i can't help but reminisce on her growing up years. grabe i can't believe that the baby i used to cuddle is a grown up lady now. she's almost as tall as i am and have big feet (size 9 can you imagine?) a half size bigger than mine. and she's just 12 going 13 this year. geez.

lately she's been receiving calls and text msgs at wee hours in the morning. and i was teasing her all the time. can't believe any guy would like her. not that i am underestimating her its just that she's too suplada for their taste. and she still have all these baby fat. nakakatuwa lang na she's sharing these things with me. something i wasn't able to do with my mom before.

narealize ko lang. my baby is not a kid anymore. suddenly i feel so old. sigh. i worry for her but i 'd like to trust her that she'll prioritize her studies even with all the boys that's been trying to get her attention. i'd like it to be different this time. not like during my teenager years when my parents were so strict with me i rebelled against them. with my daughter i am more open-minded but still properly guide her along the way.

i may not always know how to do things, but with this realization of a new cycle in my daughters life i have to give my best effort not to repeat mistakes in the past. we are moving on to a new phase.
