Caroleen’s Treasures

After Cheche had some sort of “drama” the other night that it feels as though she did not graduate from college because I and my sister Crislyn hadn’t blogged about it, we both promised her that we will make a post about it. Today is my expected date of delivery and had Eman waited for this day to come out, Cheche could have been the star of my blog the day she graduated. Unfortunately, Eman decided to make an early appearance and stole the spotlight from her. Anyways, it’s always better to be late than never writing a post at all so ladies and gentlemen…..I am proud to announce that our youngest sister Cheche has finally finished her degree in Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management at Joji Ilagan Career Center Foundation Inc.

With Daddy

With my niece Mgel (cousin’s daughter) who was one of her escorts and our big sister Ella who was very happy to see her Tita Cheche graduate.

Donald and I did not make it there because I just gave birth and we were not sure if there would be seats for everyone. Daddy, Mgel, Ella and my sister Crislyn (who was behind the lens) were the ones who witnessed the special event. Manang Inday, her daughter Dimple and Mgel’s brother Beeboy arrived and later in the afternoon, Manong Nolan and Manang Tessie (Mgel’s parents) came straight from our hometown to celebrate with us. They brought tuna and shrimps that Manang Inday cooked. The funny part is that Ella was jealous because her name wasn’t written on the cake when in fact she also graduated from Kindergarten. She was really disappointed and I couldn’t blame her because we promised her to ask Cheche buy a graduation cake from Goldilocks when she comes to Trento to attend to her graduation. Unfortunately Cheche didn’t make it so we told her we’d get her one once we are here in the city. Bad me I forgot it so I asked her if she wanted me to write her name on the cake. She looked at me in disbelief but when I told her I really can do it if she’d buy me milk flavored Krimsticks (creamy candy in a thin package that looks like a stick), she ran to the store and handed me five of those. I wrote her name as big as I could.

It did not turn out the way I wanted because the candy has gotten a bit hard but Ella was really thrilled to see that name in there.
