#May29th2019 On this day, a baby's furious cry was heard in the halls of a hospital in the city of Makati. Officially the first born of Hermogenes and Orencia who got married a few years back. The mother is an avid fan of then superstar Nora Aunor and wanted the baby named Maria Leonora Theresa. Fortunately, her father who was tasked to register the name, forgot all about it except Theresa. Hallellujah... ��� #mackyntherry

Theresa wasn't really the first-born of this family. There was a brother who was lost in miscarriage. But like all "first-borns", she was the darling of the family and pretty much blossomed under the tutelage of her grandparents. Until she started school. But that's another story. All I can say is that I'm thankful for the years life bestowed on me. It's kinder than most people experienced. My eyes may not be as clear as it was. My arms and knees may not be as strong as it was. Pain maybe an almost constant companion for this weathered body, but all in all, it's a beautiful life and I wouldn't change it for a bit. As they say, happy times keep you inspired. But hard times' the best since it's the gong that keeps you focused on that one Goal in your life. So cheers...!!!
