What was the best compliment you’ve received?
“You are very gentle and composed, miss,” is a new compliment I’ve been receiving recently. As someone who has struggled with a short temper, I’m constantly reminded to be calm and gentle in my words. I’ve been diligently working on it for quite some time, and I believe that God is answering my prayers, as evidenced by this compliment. It serves as proof that I am indeed becoming more composed than before.
Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.
Dear Self, congratulations on reaching this point! I am genuinely pleased that you’ve made it this far. As you read this today, recognize the blessings that surround you. You embody greatness as a devoted mother, wife, and grandma. The journey hasn’t been easy, and I acknowledge the strength it took to get here.
Back in your late 20s, you carried the family with unwavering determination. Branded shirts and Gucci bags were absent, yet you exuded undeniable grace and fabulosity. Your dreams remained steadfast, and your resilience paved the way for your success today. Regardless of the challenges, your ability to smile and persist has transformed you into an exceptional human.
Hold onto that indomitable spirit—it defines who you are. With much love, Yourself in 2024.
What is the last thing you learned?
Not gonna lie, I have always been very confused with the sign of math except from the basic addition, substraction and multiplication sign. So today we were working on one Math problem and I made a mistake of greater and less than sign with the students. Ehhh I know it’s a challenge for me to not know it. I learn it today.
What is your favorite drink?
My favorite drink could be a mango shake. I am not as fond of drinks as I used to be in the past, where I was crazy about a soft drink from a cola company. I would consume it instead of water and could go without eating food. However, over the years, I have shifted towards healthier drinks. Coffee is something I seldom drink, and fermented fruit juices are drinks I indulge in once in a blue moon.
Who are your favorite people to be around?
Parents and siblings are those I can never do without. I love having them around and spending 90% of my life with them. Then come my friends, who are strangely weird in their own way. I am grateful that they are always with me. Additionally, I love having kids around—not my own, but those in my neighborhood or school. I enjoy spending time with them and embracing life together.
