Ninang... she is one of the ladies whom i adored since the 1st time we were introduced. :) I was actually too shy to call her ninang because she isnt my ninang, but robert (the ever makulit side of him) insisted on calling her Ninang (instead of the normal "tita" i am accustomed to). So i did. :) (this is beginning to sound like a testimonial... sana naman nde di ba? hahahaha i just want to share some wonderful stories about her... so here goes...) Ninang loves to talk about life, i do smile sometimes when i think of our talks especially about the delicious food prepared at the table, how it is cooked, and the different ways of cooking it. :) she shares her passion about cooking, and she talks about it lovingly as if it is her life. well, i would not assume otherwise kc un ung totoo.going back...ninang's calmness surprised me a lot... i remember that time na she was having a hard time breathing because of a sudden change of temp in the room, i was panicking... but ninang, in all her graceful ways, stood there and so calm... and funny thing was what she told me: "just be quiet" hahahahaha through the years, she has always been there for her loved ones... and what speaks most about this lovely lady is that she was never even bothered by the constant changes in her world. she remained calm. flexible. unnerved.really... aging has never been this graceful and beautiful... :)
