a daugther's surprise

** from my friendster blog Dec 15, 2005 **

i got an amazing surprise yesterday..while browsing through some old notebooks and what have you’s in the attic i came upon a yellow steno notebook…[which i ofcourse read] and inside i was surprised to find something written by my mother dated october 21 1998…all about me! here let me share it with you..

Isabel cooked french toast. she said she was cooking some to bring to Tita Guapa and was saving some for me so i can have a snack when i get home.

Isabel is keen on directing plays; having her kid sister Nina act on her direction for Mommy and Daddy.

i remember on her 8th bday she organized he own bdayparty. she had taken care of every detail. from the invitations down to the games. she prepared everything and wrote the invitations on her own. all i had to do was just prepare the menu. it was a small get together but she organized everything on her own and it turned to be A-okay.

Isabel had always shown a desire to be a cheerdancer for her school team. as early as grade 2 she tried out but was only taken in on her 3rd try when she was already grade 4.

she has her quiet ways. she normally will not call attention to herself nor will she complain. when she was about 6 years old she complained of a headache which Noli and i didnt mind. we even went to mass and when we got home the yaya told us that isabel had very high fever. by then, she was already very sick but she administered her own medication; used a bimpo with ice to soothe her terrible headahe–No fuss– she was later found out to have dengue fever.

she is not very demonstrative with her feelings buy when she likes someone she can be very smothering…very sweet and thoughtful…

independent…

it ends there..imagine to my wonderful surprise when i read it all…made my day… absolutely..
