When the Ocean Calls

“The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can't.” ― Christopher Paolini, Eragon

Guess Who Got a Gold Star!

When Wax was called to the stage to accept his Gold Star award, Joey and I noticed two little girls in ponytails intently watching him as he was climbing up the stage. (We learned afterwards that those girls were his classmates. Anyway.)

When his name was called and was subsequently presented with a Gold Star Award for Outstanding Academic Performance, one of the girls immediately crossed her arms and shot one eyebrow into the orbit. In typical telenovela contrabida panache, she told her friend "Bakit siya Gold Star at tayo Red Star lang?"

Her cohort replied, "Baka nagkamali lang si Teacher."

Girl 1, obviously irritated by the circumstance, said to Girl 2: "Tingnan nga natin sa Bulletin Board. Nagkamali lang ata talaga si Teacher. Hindi pwede yun." So off they went to the bulletin board and gasped when they confirmed that Legaspi, Job Joachim really made it to the list of Gold Star awardees. In fact, he is the only boy in this class to receive such distinction.

When Wacky came down from the stage, he was quickly approached by the mini-contrabidas, "Bakit ka Gold Star?" they chorused. "Ewan ko," the little boy answered, "...baka dahil magaling ako." That shut them up.

I'm all for humility, and we need to teach kids how to be humble. But at that moment, I just said to myself What the heck, let these girls have it for once. So proud of you, Wax.

Here Comes the Bride

Joey the Bridesmaids, Armie the Bride, and Dan the Groomsman slash host.
Sorry if one of your Bridesmaids and one of your Groomsmen where late for more than half an hour. At least, we made it in time for the veil ceremony. Haha. Best wishes Armie and Ryan!
