Dreaming Again
Ms. Lea Salonga launched a campaign, #LSdreamagain regarding the things we miss or dreams we crave while on lockdown. One of the things I miss is the brush of the wind on my face. Even before the pandemic, I am what you call a treehugger, so I crave hugs. Hugging my niece and nephew is one of the things I am looking forward to after this "period".

Turning twelve is a toast to tweens. To the parents, it’s a wistful goodbye to childhood.

Our kids were childhood friends who shared the same birth month. Secret Viber invites were sent to the parents of their classmates and to close family. Then the news of the Covid-19 pandemic took over the headlines. Metro Manila was going to be on lockdown. The viber chat was shutdown with the cancellation of the party. The chicken nuggets and fries celebration was shelved. Michelle, Mika and Maddie would mark their memorable 12th year on this earth witnessing a global pandemic that would rock the world.
