to live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy… and to laugh along the way
My grandson, Buchi, is turning 4 very soon. How he’s quickly grown from being a cute baby to a luvable toddler to an impish pre-schooler is still a surprise to me. If you ask me, I wish he’d remain that happy, cheerful kiddo whose smile could turn my cloudy days bright oh-so-effortlessly. I wish that I could enjoy his silly antics some more. I wish he’d forever stay the same fun-loving, mischievous tyke with nary a care in the world.
Life has been good to us. And it’s all because of the Academy. It’s all about the character-building, the ‘Courage, Integrity and Loyalty’ motto it has inculcated in us, it’s about the maturity, the love-of-country – all these and more – that I am so thankful for. And even as I reach the twilight of my years, I shall forever cherish – and remain forever indebted – to the Academy.
At the end of our stay in Donatela, we all felt refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to take on the world once again. Truly, it has been a soothing, calming experience for us; truly a home away from home. And I’d like to thank Acting GM Edward Sarmiento and his staff for the warm hospitality and care. It has been a great relaxing trip to cap the year 2022.
2022 came and was gone in a flash. What a fast year this was! For me at least. One day, it’s Monday, the start of the week; and suddenly I’m facing a Friday. Funny how time drags when there’s nothing much on your plate, and how time flies when you’ve got much to do.
Boy meets girl. They fall in love. They encounter many obstacles along the way. But they stick it out. And they would live happily ever after. You know the drill, right? But no, this story’s a whole lot different. And it’s certainly one for the movies.
I dream of a stronger, more resilient, and proud Filipino people. But even before we can bring that to fruition, we can make a test case of Bohol. We can make Bohol a sports giant.
