25?! OMG 😂 I feel like I blinked and suddenly my little boy is a grown man with a university degree, a master’s in the works, and a quarter century of life experiences 😅

Watching you grow into the person you are has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Not just for what you’ve done, but who you are — your kind heart, your humility, the way you keep learning and figuring things out. This mama is so proud.

Keep trusting yourself, keep dreaming big, and don’t worry about having it all figured out — though I guess a little pressure now 😂

My prayer is that God keeps guiding you — wisdom when you need direction, courage when things feel uncertain, and good people around you for always.

No matter how old you get, you’ll always be my Babs. I love you more than words, Nakong ko. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Happy 25th, Babs. ❤️🎂

Now please stop getting older, mama’s not ready 😂

Grateful. Truly. 🙏💛

My heart is full.❤️

Thank You, Lord, for bringing me to another year of life, for keeping my family safe, and for pouring out blessings I know I don’t deserve.
Every day is a gift, and I’m holding onto that truth tightly.

To my family, my friends, and my amazing work family—thank you from the bottom of my heart for the sweet messages, the phone calls, the warm hugs, and all the thoughtful surprises. You all made me feel so genuinely loved and celebrated.

Every single gesture meant the world to me.
😉🥂

Had the sweetest birthday lunch with Audrey and Maia 🍣✨
When our spa plans fell through, Audrey completely saved the day and totally spoiled us. She took us out for an incredible Japanese feast, plus she made me the most beautiful bouquet—like she does every single birthday 💐 We topped it all off with the usual girls’ outing: a little lipstick shopping, way too many photos, and so much laughing.
My heart (and stomach) is so full.
Thank you frenship ❤️😍💛💄

Thursday night birthday dinner with these ladies 💛 May Malapitan Mendoza Ate Milly Ardena Racelis and Ate Jie Ramos took me out for the sweetest Italian feast to kick off my birthday early. 🤩
We missed you Jose Tess! 😉
Delicious food, non-stop laughing, and friends who insist on making a massive deal out of me even when I tell them not to. Such a good night with people who make me feel so loved 🍝✨

A birthday potluck at work with coworkers who went all out. 😄 Cake, gifts, good food, and people who made an ordinary workday feel like a celebration. Didn’t need more than that. 💕

I still can’t believe you’re 21. ❤️

It feels like just yesterday you were my little girl, and now you’ve grown into a beautiful, strong, independent young woman. I’m so proud of who you’ve become, the goals you’ve set, and how hard you work to make your dreams come true. No matter how old you get, you’ll always be my Naneng.

We celebrated you all weekend — friends on Saturday, family after, and cake and BBQ today. ❤️ I know… I still owe you Korean food. 😂 I didn’t forget, I just… forgot. 😅 I promise I’ll make it up to you soon!

And now you’re off to Mexico! 🇲☀️ Have the most amazing time, make beautiful memories, laugh lots, and enjoy every moment. What a wonderful way to begin this new chapter.

As you step into 21, I hope you always trust yourself, chase what feels true to you, and remember you can always come home to me. I pray God blesses your heart, your dreams, and every step ahead.

Maia, I am so, so proud of you. I love you more than words can say. Happy 21st birthday, my beautiful Naneng. ❤️

Yesterday was one of those days that was just full of happy moments. ❤️

After spending the day at the airshow, we were ALL so hungry, so sushi dinner was definitely the perfect way to end the day! 🍣😂

Instead of making it a big gathering, we were lucky enough to have some of our favourite people join us—And honestly, that little group was just perfect. 🥰

There was so much laughter, good food, stories, and just the kind of fun that makes you forget about everything else for a few hours.

And since Maia’s birthday is coming up on the 8th, we took the opportunity to celebrate her a little early before she heads off to Mexico. 🇲🇽✈️

Nothing fancy! Just good food, people we love, lots of laughter, and a beautiful birthday girl surrounded by people who love her. ❤️
And sometimes, those are the best celebrations of all. ❤️

Happy early birthday, my Naneng Maia! 🎂💕
I hope this new year of your life brings you so many adventures, beautiful memories, and everything your heart is hoping for.

Yesterday was definitely one for the memory books. 🥰🍣❤️🥰🍣❤️

And just like that… I’m officially OFF for the next 10 days!

No big plans. No itinerary. No alarm clock calling my name. 😂

For years, the last stretch of summer meant taking the kids somewhere, making memories, and squeezing in one more little adventure before school started. Now my kids are grown, they have their own plans… and Mom has 10 days to figure out what Mom wants to do. 😂

So this year, I’m taking it day by day.
Maybe a little getaway.
Maybe a solo adventure.
Maybe flowers, coffee, good food, catching up with friends… or maybe just staying home and finally doing all those things I’ve been putting off.

No pressure to make it perfect. Just making room for life to surprise me.😉

Here’s to a pretty, peaceful, productive, slightly spontaneous September. 😍

Let’s see where these 10 days take me. 💕🌸
