My one and only sister is spending her vacation here in Cagayan de Oro with me. So we had the chance to talk and have quality time to share just anything that’s happening in each lives. You know there are lots of things to catch up since we don’t have much time together since my college days. It’s very rare for me to get home back then for I have to spend an estimated of 6 hours to arrive home. Now, 3 hours ride from home is better than before.

Yesterday came her 15th birthday , we took her in the movie house and after that we dined in the Countryhouse Steakhouse in Limketkai. We enjoyed the foods they served. The place is cozy and it makes you feel you are in a home back in a countryside village.

Irene’s nephew Benedict, celebrated his 4th birthday last January 4. We arrived late during the party and became the last guest to greet him. Bryan and Benedict had the best time playing and bonding and I had a great time talking and asking ‘how are you’s with Irene. Irene and I rarely see each other because our schedules would not meet, she’s busy continuing her studies in Mindanao University of Science and Technology and I am busy making a living. So this meeting up of ours is rewarding, you know how you feel after seeing a best friend after quite a long time? Somehow the feeling of absence freed.

Here’s Benedict, the celebrator striking a pose. Happy birthday Benedict!

Our visit was short but just seeing them okay and happy is enough for me. I am glad that Irene’s family is doing great. I’m overjoyed to know such welcoming family.Bryan and I even became godfather and godmother of Benedict’s little sister.

Thank you so much Irene for being such a kind friend, you never failed to be one.
