Vincent Ryle

Younger me in red shorts...what's with the sad face? haha
     Being the youngest child for 15 years, I always used to wonder before what it felt like having a younger sibling. When the news that my mom was pregnant came into my ears, I didn't really know how to react on it. *oh issues... but when Mama and Papa came home bringing with them a tiny little boy with a round face and violet cheeks, I felt ecstatic. I thought I'd cry and cringe because I know changes would come together with the new member of our family. Not to mention my older brother's constant 'bleee...you're not a baby anymore!!!!' To my surprise, I never got jealous having a younger sibling! I even helped my mother in taking good care of our baby boy like changing his diapers, singing him a lullaby to sleep,preparing his milk and even washing his clothes.
We named that adorable creature above, Vincent Ryle. He was named after St.Vincent. We actually call him a lot of names from vryle, yan, ryle, bayle, groo to baboy. haha silly right? but we like it! lol 
I don't know if you feel like me but I love teasing my baby brother until cries and ask for Mama's help lol. I can't believe how time flies so fast. Vincent turned 5 last Friday. Another reminder that I'm older but I'm also taking it as another chance to become a better sister.ayeee ahha

Baby Yan here are some good things that I would always love to remind you as you grow old. These are just some of the reasons why you should be happy. I hope you will be able to read this post when you're older.
You are cute...stay cute forever!
You are handsome. Don't make too many girls cry in the future,okay?
 

            You are smart. You made it on the first place on your first year in school. I'm one proud sister!
You are creative. It's from your sister's genes okay? haha
I love it when you're naughty
I love it more when you are nice
You are loved! No matter what happens, always remember we love you.
You have two ates and two kuyas who will help you get through anything :))
Happy Birthday Baby!

I Will Not Love You Forever

Darling, how can I say the words 'I love you too'?
Will the numbers 1433 enough?
Or will phrases like 'infinity and beyond'
enough to satisfy your 'forever'?

Darling, with all my heart I will gladly
wear the necklace of songs you've given me.
I will wear it on my lips when I smile
I will wear it on my eyes to see the world differently
I will wear it like my underwear
hidden, secured and always within me.

Darling, I will not listen to the old songs 
and stories of love alone
but together we shall write and sing ours'.


Darling, unlike I you,I will not stare on and on into the past
but look into the future with you.
In every journey I'll take
you will not dress like a pole star
you won't be like other millions of pole stars
you will be my pole star
and I will do everything to keep your lights on.

Darling, I will not love you forever
because even a universe of forever
will never be enough for me to do so.
