if there is anything special about today
it is this....
once upon a time
at the break of the sirens' wail
signaling midnight in the lowly town of Bacnotan
a girl was born to highly expectant parents
it was 21 February 1971
the apple of their eyes
the solitary flower in the garden
the answer to their prayer
she grew-up
and became her parents' sole bundle of joy
a source of tremendous inspiration
a spring of new life
then two more came
to complete the cast
nevertheless she would always be
the first born
the ate to everyone
until now
she is the source of inspiration
she is the spring of new life
a true beauty personified
the light
the jewel
the gem
the soul
the love
and everything
