Unang araw sa paaralan

Hello Anak,

Today marks another milestone in your life. It is a milestone as well in our lives of your Nanay as parents. It is your first day of school!

We were all excited about your going to school, not because we want you to be apart from us. In fact, we were having more separation anxiety more than you do. Anyway, we just maximized this day and wanted it to be your day. I went trigger happy on our camera and my celphone to take photos/videos of you in school uniform. How time flies indeed - naka-uniform ka na! It only seems like yesterday when you were on baby shirt and diapers (oops, you still are wearing diapers! :)).

Both your Nanay and myself went to school with you...well, not only to school, but into your classroom as well. We stayed through your class and observed the class, together with other Nanays - ako lang kasi ang Tatay na nandun. :) Am i being over-protective? Maybe...

Not sure, but maybe it's just you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, because you seem so timid today. It's not like you that I know of. I know you'll become an excellent student - mana ka ata sa kin! Syempe pati kay Nanay!

O sya anak, ingat sa school ha. Study well and...behave.

We love you!

Tatay
