YOU ARE MY SUPERHERO MAMA**

My ever dearest Mama,

I have known no one more loving, more considerate and more selfless person in this world than you are.
I know sometimes that I have failed to show you just how dear you are to me, how much I love you and how important you are in my life,
but Mama, no words could ever describe how thankful and how blessed I feel that I was born and raised by you.
And I sincerely hope, with all of me, that I make you feel half as lucky that I am your daughter.
I will be forever grateful of everything you have done for us.
We could never ever repay even a bit of what you have sacrificed and given up just for us your family.
You have taken care of us all and given us love way more than what we deserved.
You are indeed my superhero Mama, you know that.
I've told you again and again how you have saved me everyday.
It makes me feel shame to think of the disappointments I have caused you.
And it pains me a lot knowing I could have been a better daughter for you.
But being the wonderful person that you are, you have always loved me unconditionally, and supported me no matter what.
You have never complained, never put me down.
You have never failed to make me feel that I am doing right.
You have always made sure I feel good about being me,
and reminded me all the time that you are proud, despite of all the mistakes and shortcomings I may have had.
That line saying "Mothers know best," that is perfect for you,
for you just always know what is best to do, and it has always amazed me how you do it.
You always know the answers, you always know what to say and even when not to say anything at all,
but just hug us and shower us with your magical love.
You are beyond amazing Mama, and I LOVE YOU,
and it would never be enough to show just how much, even if I tell you that everyday.
Remember before when I was way younger,
I told you that my song for you is the ever cliched "Wind beneath my wings," 
well, that's definitely what you are to me.
You are my strength, my inspiration and my best friend.
I would never ever wish to be someone else's daughter for I have the best mother there is, and that is you.
I say that without any sense of bias or flattery for you,
for you are indeed the best Mama, and I hope you know that.
Happy mother's day Mama,
I LOVE YOU with every part of me.

Lots a love,
Your little baby girl^^

**to the most beautiful woman in the world and the person who holds the biggest and most special part of my heart-- Mama, I love you, happy Mom's Day. mwaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh! <3

SAY IT LOUD

When you love someone-- let it be known.
Claim it.
Utter it.
Articulate it.
Yes, actions may speak louder than words they say,
but words are still the clearer voice of our emotions.
They verify how we feel.
They guarantee our intent.
So when you love, say it.
Even if you think that it won't be all right.
Even of you are scared it's not gonna be worth it.
Even if it may cause trouble.
Even if you are not sure it will be accepted,
Do not falter.
You say it still, and you say it loud.^^

BELIEVE IN HAPPILY EVER AFTER**

Last weekend, my mom went to her province to attend a family affair.
My dad, for some reasons, cannot accompany her, and so my youngest brother went to escort my mom.
This is one of the few times when my parents have to be away from each other for days, and that is not an exaggeration.
My mom and dad have been together for about  30 years already,
and literally, they  have always been together ever since.
Growing up, I cannot remember having my dad or my mom away.
When my dad has to go somewhere, my mom will be with him and vice versa.
Many may find that chokey, but it is not as worse as that.
There are just people who, I guess, cannot stand being away from each other.
And for one, my mom and dad are like that,
even after three decades of being together,
after four awesomely and annoyingly great children--
they managed to put up the romance and the love they've had for each other.
They are totally in love with each other-- needless to say,
they are an inseparable duo.
After 30 years, they still tease each other and giggle like high school sweethearts.
They still always hold hands in public, and more so in the house.
They cannot stop hugging each other, that at times make us feel that it's so cruddy sweet.
They are amazingly still head over heels over each other.

So as I said, my mom went away for awhile for some family matters last Saturday afternoon and she'll be back that Monday morning as well.
I woke up before noon that Sunday morning and as I went down the stairs I heard my dad talking over the phone.
His voice almost flirting-- that kind of voice men use when talking to pretty girls or the ladies they like.
I, of course, being the nosy papa's girl kinda eavesdrop.
I heard the woman's voice on the other line somehow giggly.
Their chat went on for awhile about just sweet nothing at all.
My dad saying how he has been thinking about her all night, he almost didn't have any sleep and that he misses her dearly.
And they went to their endless goodbyes-- like when you don't want to hang up yet while talking to your boyfriend or girlfriend.
And finally  they say their I LOVE YOU's and hang up.
The woman on the other line was of course nonetheless my mother.
And that little eavesdropping project just actually made my Sunday super special.
Having parents so in love like that, it just gives a very nice pinch to your heart.
Actually, just seeing any old couple together does that-- but it is uber exceptional if they are your mom and dad, lucky me I guess.
Having two people so faithfully in love is a very nice thing to know.
They are the living fairy tales that make us still believe in a magical once upon a time.
My mom and my dad-- they are my fair share of  a happily ever after.^^
