IRENE'S POV:

Today is Celestine's Birthday. Gusto ko Sana maghanda ng kahit konti para sa kanya pero Sabi niya sa Christmas nalang daw. And I agreed.

Ngayon, naisipan namin ni manang na dalhin nalang siya sa Ilocos Norte. Tutal Matagal rin naman na kaming Hindi nakakapunta don. We'll celebrate her birthday nalang don. Then maghahanda kami sa Christmas.

CELESTINE'S POV:

Today is my birthday, yes malapit lang Ang birthday ko sa Christmas day. I decided na maghanda nalang this Christmas kase masyado nang magastos kung maghahanda ako today then maghahanda nanaman sa Pasko.

Tita and Mommy will take me and also everyone to Ilocos Norte. And I like the idea so I agreed.

Skipped Time...

AT ILOCOS NORTE

CELESTINE'S POV:

We arrived here na sa Ilocos Norte and I'm so happy because nakapunta nanaman ako Dito. Halos Isang taon din ako Hindi nakapunta Dito. Busy kasi sila kaya Hindi sila makagala.

We went to the windmills, beaches and everywhere we can go. I also took videos for remembrance. The videos are like vlogs. I took pictures with the family.

Celestine: Hi everyone! *Looking to the camera*

Tumingin naman sila and they waved at the camera.

Celestine: I'm with my family in Ilocos Norte.. look how happy we are today

Lumapit si Mommy sa akin and she kissed my cheek.

Irene: *kissed Celestine's cheek* Hi! Happy Birthday Celestine

Celestine: Thank You Mom and Oh this is my mom, Irene Marcos Araneta.. the woman who is simped by everyone haha

Pinalo ako ni mama sa braso dahil sa Sinabi ko haha. Nagtatawanan lang kami in the whole day. And it was all taken in the camera. One day when I will have my own family, I'll show this to my kids haha.

IRENE'S POV:

Today is the best day for me because I saw my baby girl smile again. She is so lovely when she smiles. She looks like me. I love her with all of my heart.

IMEE'S POV:

Napakasaya ni Celestine ngayon. Sana lagi siyang nakangiti dahil Ang Ganda Ganda niya kapag Masaya siya. Masaya rin ako dahil kahit Isang araw ay nakalimutan niya Ang mga problema niya.

Skipped Days....
