Sweet Sixteen
I don’t remember my sixteenth birthday. And I don’t say that with any bitterness ha, I just really don’t remember what we did or who I was with at the time.
My niece and goddaughter Ycha Shanti celebrated her 16th birthday on National Heroes’ Day, August 30th. It was a simple celebration, but she had a LOT of guests! I’m sure she will remember this for a long time.
She’ll be graduating from high school in a few months, and then she’ll be starting a brand new adventure: college/university life! Earlier this month, she took the UPCAT (University of the Philippines College Admission Test). Soon, she’ll be taking entrance exams to other universities in the metro. I have no doubt that she will find a good school. She has the head and heart for school, but she also doesn’t forget to enjoy and just be a kid. 
I heard that she’s also interested in learning photography. Maybe my gift to her would be to help her develop that (since I don’t have the dough to get her her camera, haha).
Mana sa Ninang
Ate, with Da Boys
Me, Papa (our grandfather), and Shanti
with her girlfriends (since they were younger kids)
with her schoolmates, the other boys in her class didn't join the shoot. but there's probably as many boys as there were girls.
All photos were captured by the boyfriend, which explains the abundance of my face in these stills. Haha
