THE SILVER CELEBRATION

It's my Mom and Dad's silver wedding anniversary. We don't have the means to celebrate it at a church, with a reception of close family and friends. That's why we decided to have a family vacation in the city of pines, Baguio City, Benguet.

Here's what happened 25 years after their "once upon a time".

Mom and Dad @25th

left to right. Kuya Carlo, Ate Nova, Joyce, Nico. I and ate Christy are missing in action. We only commuted because our van cannot accommodate us anymore.



At the Groto, first 10 steps.. Perhaps 100 steps up? Dad didn't have the chance to go up with us because he fears that his knee would ache again.



A flower which I don't know the name. It was taken beside the stairs going up to the Groto.

Me and Mom, few steps away from the Groto.

Me at Burnham Park. We all rode the same boat. but after few minutes, Mom, Dad, and ate Nova left for coffee.

2nd day: taken at the Philippine Military Academy.

Taken at Wright Park: Below is a horse-riding park, where Nico rode a horse for 30 minutes. He fell from the horse, luckily, the horse didn't get injured. joke! haha. Above the stairs is The Mansion.



Taken at The Mansion, the Philippines President's offical residence in Baguio. Look at Nico (in blue), we didn't even wore a smile in this wacky photo. It is because before this photo was taken, he fell from the horse and almost got lost. So bear with him.haha!

Day3: Taken at Baguio Cathedral

Still at Baguio Cathedral.The four fruits of this silver celebration. Me, Nico, Kuya Carlo and Joyce. :)

The vacation was indeed a blast. More than just a quality time, this trip was a remembrance and proof that Mom and Dad didn't just build a house and a family, thus, they created a home with happy family members.

I don't actually know what they've been through the 25 long years together, but I can say that so far, they've done a good job. Me and my brother finished college, and all of us were raised well.

Their story is still far from its "happily ever after", but certainly, with their geniune love for each other, plus 4 children raised well, their fairytale will always be something worth celebrating.
