Febeth, we're relishing the bragging rights in return :D

Mike, thanks for the interview invitation. I'll get to it soon :D

Almost Vegetarian, yes, isn't that first byline just so exhilirating? For me, though, every byline is still exciting up to now :D

Rachel, we hope so, too. She's already building up her portfolio :D

Wacky Mom, I'm hopelessly behind! Will check this out asap! Thanks so much! :D

Clebsch, I agree. My kids are my greatest joy!

Janice, my two other kids didn't either. Each kid has his or her own gifts, though - we just have to wait for them to unwrap their own gifts :D

Thank you, Jake. She has been less active online with all her other commitments vying for her time and attention.

I'm sure your Mom is proud of your being in the 10 Most Influential Blogs, too.

2007-08-13T12:28:00.000+08:00

She really is one great person. I really haven't known her personally but from what I could tell from our past conversations, I believe she is the femme version of the famous "jack-of-all-trades." She writes well. She's a multi-talented person. She's also a good conversationalist and I really miss talking to her.

In my mother's name, I wish the best regards to your great daughter and to your whole family.

2007-08-12T11:59:00.000+08:00

Febeth, she has been a natural "fashionista" even as a little girl. She can put together any outfit and make it chic, even if the pieces come cheaply from the tiyangge/bargain bazaars. She just gets to enjoy most of the expensive designer pieces vicariously through her blog :D

SexyMom, yes, we moms are really like that 'no? Our hearts swell even for our friends' children's accomplishments. I guess we all share the exhilirating feeling of seeing the outcome of nurturing. I feel the same when I read your sons' blogs :D

2007-08-11T15:39:00.000+08:00

my conclusion? like mother like daughter. you're so blessed with having such a talented daughter.

when i hear such stories, i am mighty proud, like if i will see her printed work, i will tell my friends--kilala ko mom nyan, friend ko mom nyan.

thanks for sharing with us a part of your life--an inspiration to others.

AnnaManila, yes, it seems that on my mom's side of the family, most are into arts and letters. Add to that my husband's having a passion for writing, too. And, yes, I just can't resist using those bragging rights :D

AnitoKid, I'm sure my kids will far surpass anything I have achieved, and that they be even happier and more fulfilled.

MrsPartyGirl, her Dad has actually been my mentor in writing since way back in college. He's an even more meticulous editor than I am. So I can't hog the credit :D

2007-08-11T06:39:00.000+08:00

congratulations!! you definitely have bragging rights when it comes to your daughter (and children, for that matter). c1 is so smart and its not surprising to see her successfully follow in her talented writer mom's footsteps. :)

2007-08-10T21:28:00.000+08:00

Indeed, our children are our real treasures, ManilaMom! Congratulations to C1! Wow! So many requests from some of the country's top mags at such a young age!

I can only just imagine the happiness and joy you are currently experiencing right now, my friend. After all that is said and done, what matters at the end of the day is our children - with us secretly wishing...hoping...that someday, our children will surpass whatever we have achieved in our lifetime a hundredfold.

Congratulations to you and ManilaDad for raising such wonderful and talented kids! All the best!

I was thrilled to by your daughter's young poetry. The promise was there ... that early. Hmmm writing does runs in genes ha.

And we got braggiing rights over their achievements. Take it from this ole braggart of a mom.
