At the Christmas party in Binangonan, I heard Malou, Luming, etc. talking about some old t-shirts. “Lagi na lang yun ang suot natin, kupas na”. They were suggesting to have new ones made and in a different color.
I didn’t know what they were talking about, what the t-shirts are for.

Yun pala, tuwing merong high school classmate na mamamatay, yung ang suot nila sa libing. Naka uniform sila.

Di ba we have a new set of batch officers? Si Tigi, Si Dr. Racquel? They were complaining daw that our funds have been depleted because ever since they took over, dami daw namamatay. Our funds went to the abuloys. I hope no one dies this year. Kailangan munang mag-fund raising, Bingo kaya, for future abuloys. I just saw the Facebook post of Tigi, they have a batch meeting next week. I will send him a message, ipagbawal munang may pumanaw habang wala pang naipon na pondo.

Just a few days ago, one of our batchmates passed away. Si Maria Clara. Someone said she died of cancer.

There’s a mirror in front of the hotel desk. I am looking at my face right now and what I see depresses me. Just in the past few months, my wrinkles have doubled. I don’t know what triggered it. Stress siguro and age. I can’t recognize this face anymore. I look so different now. Who is this old person? Dati paminsan-minsan pangit ako. Ngayon paminsan-minsan cute ako. Baligtad na. Baka bukas puro pangit na lang.
When I try to put on more make-up in an effort to improve my looks, it doesn’t help. Mas masagwa ang labas. Mukha akong laos na belyas.

My husband was telling me about his neck, kulubot na daw. Eh ako ba? Ganun rin. Kaya pala marami akong nakikita na mga may edad na babae mahilig mag-turtle neck kahit pawis-pawis. They are trying to cover their kulubot necks.
Ang hilig ko pa mandin magmini skirt. Kala ko kasi maganda pa rin legs ko. Napansin ko sa mga pictures ko this year ay bakit ganun, wah happened to my knees? Kulubot na rin. OMB!!

I also have a lot of aches and pains. I have tennis elbow. When I walk I feel like my bones are about to crack.

Pero okay na lang sigurong kulubot at may tennis elbow kesa embalsamado.

  1. U are still pretty, Ms Annie… U are maturing GRACEFULLY…

    Never mind the wrinkles, it comes with the territory… at least, wala ka pang membership sa SPD or Salamat Po, Doc… NATURAL BEAUTY ka pa rin… (No offense to those who have undergone aesthetic surgeries po)…

    Wrinkles and eyebags will always be part and parcel of our existence as mortals.

    Ako nga, sa dami ng operations na ginawa sakin, from endometriosis and ceasarean sections, inguinal hernias, colon and intestine-related surgeries and the latest of which was the gall bladder operation, dna ako pwede mag-midriff sa beach, baka magtakbuhan sila sa dami ng SCARS na nasa tummy ko… pero ok lang, kc these scars are proof that i survived all those surgeries and Thanks to God, i am still ALIVE…

    You are so LUCKY to have such fair complexion, wrinkles and all..

    Your beauty comes from within… and that’s more important …

    Have a great 2018 ahead, Ms Annie… May God bless u and the family with many more happy and healthy years…
