  • Just came home from a day trip to Tagaytay with the father’s side. Well, not literally just came home. It was to celebrate our paternal grandmother’s birthday; we surprised her with bad singing, flower bouquets and a chocolate cake during her stay for a triennial congress in CMCS.

My family is probably shuddering in distaste (they all consider themselves pro-Ateneo and anti-La…
