Okay, so there really is no battle between the two. I mean, UP for me has no worthy rivals while Ateneo’s famous rival is La Salle. Haha! They are just my and Josh’s Alma Maters.

As most of you don’t know, I am way ahead of Joshua when we were in school. I was 15 when I entered college and he was also 15 when he was in 2nd year high school. Haha. Since he studied in Ateneo, he had to go through Grade 7. He even went through Nursery, Kindergarten, and Prep while I only had to go through Kindergarten once before I stepped into Grade One, and yes, wala kaming Grade 6. In other words, isang taon lang ako nag-aral tapos Grade 1 na agad. Yun. (Yabang no? Haha.) Basta student number ko 99, sya 02. Graduate ako ng ‘03 sya ‘06. Tsk. I’m 25, he’s 24. I’m 5′7″, he’s 5′X”.

So what’s the point? Wala. It just so happened Josh and I visited our schools last Friday, Aug. 22, because he needed to get a copy of his diploma for his new job (yey!). Since he was going, I decided to go too and get mine from UP after what, 5 years? Gosh. I can’t believe it’s been that long. I’ve only been to Peyups five times since I submitted my thesis. First time to get my Sablay, second for my graduation, third to have dinner at Chocolate Kiss, fourth after we visited the Mango Farm and I wanted to eat at Rodics, and lastly, for our pre-nup shoot.

Josh, on the other hand, hasn’t been to Ateneo since his graduation so imagine his excitement that he’d be going to what has been his 2nd home for almost two decades. He’s a Blue Blooded Atenean, meaning he studied Grade School, High School, and College there. And he’s very, very, very proud of that. (Hay naku sakit sa ulo.) Read more

I couldn’t sleep last night(as usual) so I browsed through my old photo files and online albums when I saw this picture of Nav. I am not sure if it was JC or Kuya Christian who took this shot of my nephew but I know this was during our church youth’s group party for the Viscas before they left for Thailand.

My heart just melted when I saw this photo. You know, it’s the kind that would make you say, “Awwww…”

Sometimes, I just hate looking at my old photos because it makes me miss him and his parents more. Looks like our vacation in Bangkok wasn’t enough to ease the pain (chos!).

I love you Nav. Ninang Reah and Ninong Josh miss you always. We love you. I LOVE YOU. (Gawd, I’m crying now. Aaargh!)

The cry of my heart these days:

The greatest love that anyone could ever know
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul
And ’til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I’ll trust in You

With all I am I’ll live to see Your kingdom come
And in my heart I pray You’d let Your will be done
And ’til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I’ll trust in You

I will live to love You
I will live to bring You praise
I will live a child in awe of You

You are the voice that calls the universe to be
You are the whisper in my heart that speaks to me
And ’til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I’ll trust in you

You alone are God of all
You alone are worthy Lord
And with all I am my soul will bless Your name
