Our Nursing Graduate

This post is loong overdue! I always have it in mind, but slips through whenever I'm in front of the computer.

She's our youngest sister, Sheila.

People say she's my twin because we look so alike! Some of my friends even had mistaken her for me! Like one saw her along Makati Med and he was wondering why I am in the country and wearing a uniform. It wasn't till he had a close look that he realized it was my youngest sis! Not only did we look alike, but Sheila also got some of my traits that the family just laughs about. She's also lazy (pretty much like me when I was her age), picky with food, kinda maarte and takes much time in the bathroom and getting dressed; kinda a biatch in short! LOL!!!

Sheila is now a graduate of Nursing from RTRMS-MMC (Remedios T. Romualdez Memorial Schools - Makati Medical Center)! She graduated last April 12. Her graduation was one of the reasons we went home. I wouldn't miss it!

Each student only had 2 tickets for the graduation day, so it was Tyn and I who attended her Baccalaureate Mass at Don Bosco Church a day before the main event. There was a Mass before the program, then the graduating students received another pin and some certificates. They also wore their togas and had a class picture.














The whole affair went for 4 hours, that left us starving! We had a late lunch in Greenbelt and just spent the rest of the day there.

We had Sheila's Graduation Dinner at Abe in Serendra. It's a Filipino restaurant that serves such delectable dishes! We walked along Bonifacio High Street after dinner and took some photos.

I actually wanted a big party for her graduation, but she opted to just have an intimate dinner with the family. Whatever the graduate says!

Sheila is now busy reviewing in preparation for the Board Exams next month. I do hope and pray she'll pass it with a satisfying grade. I know she will!

I can't believe how time fly so fast! I used to see her as the baby girl of the family because of the long age difference between her and Tyn. Nevertheless, we all grew up close like the best of friends! I moved out when she was in High School and didn't get to really know her day-to-day life. I was just starting a family then and trying to be a domestic goddess! So you can get a picture of how (kinda) hard my life was then! LOL! It was when she stepped into College that I got to be involved again. It was during that time that I get to go back to the Philippines almost 2-3 times a year.

Sheila was the luckiest among the 3 of us (let's exclude my departed brother and our youngest). She gets to have everything that she wants and most of all, she shunned our father's uttermost strictness. Though she occasionally gets Dad's crankiness because she's so unorganized. Her room is always a mess! You'd think otherwise because she's a girl. But no, Sheila and Jay I think are both running for having the messiest room in the house! You may say that Tyn and I are kinda useless around the house, Sheila is worst! Like she doesn't know anything! But I love her still!


I'm just so happy and so proud of what she's become today! Though she's still so immature in a lot of ways. I don't know how she'll be when she started working. Well, that's another story!

Gorgeously . . .
