The kids are all right

Hi, dear Loyal Readers! I shared these photos over Christmas, and a lot of you were shocked. Yes, malalaki na sila. They're 15, 13, and 11. How fast time flies! 


Many of you asked how the kids are. Lalo na kasi yung mga kasabayan kong mommy bloggers na actively sharing pa rin about their kids, nasusundan niyo talaga. Eh, yung mga anak ko very private kaya after 2016 or so, di na ako masyadong nagkwento about them. I archived their photos sa Instagram, too.


But since nagtanong kayo, eto ang pwede kong ma-share. They're very smart and talented. They go to an international school (kaya naging corporate slave ako haha). Malapit lang school nila sa bahay so the high schoolers commute a lot. I'm proud of the fact that they're independent, and I'm glad di sila kilala because I really don't want strangers to approach them and be all, "Hi! I follow your mom's blog/IG/FB!" This freaks them out actually, the rare times it happens. 

They're doing very well in school except for Filipino. They play instruments. They sing. They enjoy their friends. Ano pa ba? Oh, they eat a lot. Grabe.


You'll be seeing more of my eldest child soon because meron siyang big fund-raising project. I am so excited to tell you! And I'm counting on all of you na suportahan siya! Kasama siya sa delegation to the International STEM Olympiad in Netherlands. And kasali rin siya sa Asia Math Engineering Challenge in Malaysia. I'm very proud!

My second son naman is really into music. Obsessed. He plays the guitar, piano, and bass. He even played in Sunday worship service once. So that's really cool. I'm very proud!

Yung bunso naman is like the ringleader of his friends. Ang kulit ng batang yan! He likes reading books and baking brownies. And he's insightful and wise. I'm very proud!


But what I'm most proud of is how sweet and good they are. They're really such good kids. Wala kaming problema sa kanila at all. Well, I wish they'd do the dishes and clean their room more, but in the great scheme of things, they're pretty awesome. 

And I know you're curious about how they are, especially since many of you saw them born. You were there watching them grow and talk and eat and do all the cutesy things babies do. And suddenly, you stopped seeing them. For 10 years! 

Thank you for understanding and respecting their privacy. I really appreciate that, despite the radio silence, you still love my children. I still feel it. Thank you. And you'll probably see more of them soon, with their consent, but just so you know, the kids are all right. Happy, healthy, thriving, and absolutely wonderful!

    1. 2016 was when I retired Topaz Mommy =) Then paminsan-minsan na lang sila lumalabas sa blog and IG ko, and usually yung bunso na lang. Parang basta they hit 6 years old (or big-school age), kailangan kong magpaalam lagi sa kanila bago ako magkwento o mag-share ng photo grabe! So, yes, mga 2020 yung bunso nagsabi na ayaw na rin niya. Kailangan may approval muna from them haha
