#LatePost My Beautiful Kids

Can't help but snap a shot of these wonderful kids sleeping peacefully at their grandparents' house in San Juan, Batangas. We took a quick trip there to visit Lolo Daddy and make sure he's well. Love you guys. 😍

Mystery Unfolds

Spoke to my Dad recently, and while interviewing him about his siblings, he revealed something that never crossed my mind: our family name was not originally Banaag. His father, my grandfather Luis Banaag, was born Luis Banog. Apparently sometime after getting married, he decided to change his last name, for reasons we will probably never know.

I thought it was just a misspelled name. :)

Name	Luis Banog
Birth Date	1891
Age	38
Spouse's Name	Felipa Cadano
Spouse's Birth Date	1911
Spouse's Age	18
Event Date	10 Aug 1929
Event Place	San Juan, Batangas, Philippines
Father's Name	Gregorio Banog
Mother's Name	Levirma Magsono
Spouse's Father's Name	Eugenis Cadano
Spouse's Mother's Name	Pedra De Los Agueles

The Search Continues...

Recently I was able to fill in another line deeper into my mom's side of the tree. Hope I can find more.

Stay

on the way to myself I found you,
was it coincidence, or you knew?
that you'd be mine and I'll be yours
held together by some mysterious force
are you real? is it true?
that you meant it when you said "I love you?"
stay here, stay still,
and I'll show that I meant it too.

Ulan, ulan, anjan ka na naman.
Kelan mo ba ako titigilan?
Kulog, kidlat, pilit nanggugulat,
Ulan, ulan, ulan na naman.
