Johan bibi ko, happy happy birthday!

We are now in Nagoya, Japan because you requested to go back to Legoland for your birthday. I hope you are happy that your wish is granted. Few days after your birthday is also Mother’s Day (May 11). Best timing isn’t it? Because you gave Nanay the best and most wonderful mother’s day gift 8years ago, to be YOUR nanay. ❤️ I wouldn’t have it any other way bibi. If I have another life, I would choose over and over again to be your nanay. I am forever thankful to God for giving me you, and for choosing me as your Nanay. My nanay heart is always grateful for this privilege God gave me to take care of you.

Your 8th birthday is bittersweet because di ka na baby. I miss the baby Johan who wants to stay sa likod ko and smell me just to be able to sleep. You are growing so fast, and I always pray to God to give us guidance ni daddy how to be the best Nanay and Daddy fkr you. We love you so much!

Now ylu are 8 years ils and turning Grade 3 sa June. Thank you for your high grades, for always trying to do your best sa school. Thank you for being a good student. Up to mow, you always say nakakainis pa din classmates mo kasi noisy sila. But I can see now that na nagiging noisy ka na din haha.. and it is a good thing! We always say to you it is not your responsibility to make your classmates quiet. You can always be noisy with them 🙂 I am happy that you found friends in school loke Benedict and Gavin. I am happy that you are now comfortable in the school service and waiting in the waiting area with other kids.

Ohh you have a crush! My nany heart is nasesenti, di ka na talaga baby. You like Lia a lot 🙂 She is in ither section, but you are school busmates..And it is good to kmow that you two are good friends too!

Your grades are soaring high. I am so so so proud of you bibi 😘  You are not even doing extra studies at home pero your grades are 97-100!

You still love your maleta trolley bag because you can sit on it at the waiting area 😊 I always love seeing you in your uniform and pushing yoir trolley. Every Friday, daddy still fetches you because may waiting time ka ng 1 hour..daddy loves you very much that he really finds time na sunduin ka bibi para di ka na maghintay. On the way home, lagi ka nakakatulog sa car.

Your favorite food Ramen Nagi, pandesal sa kanto ng Asteria (you always request this na bilhan ka ni Daddy or Ate Jhean sa umaga), Ikea ice cream, Yabaton pork! You love noodles without the sabaw or sauce. You love StarbuCks waffles and french toast, nag-aagawan pa kayo ni Joshua 😅

You enrolled in swimming lessons. You can float now without floaters and can do breaststroke. So proud of you!
