And you taught me how to transfer them and said,
07:38.0
Okay lang yan, anak. Kanya-kanya lang yan yung style.

I want to thank the Cupcake Lab.
10:46.0
Thank you so much for making those cupcakes for my mom.
10:49.0
The story is, she's called Nya Nya.
10:55.0
Because when Isabella was small,
10:57.0
she put together Nanay and Yaya.
11:02.0
Because she was taking care of Isabella every other day
11:05.0
while I was at showtime.
11:06.0
Isabella called her Nya Nya and my mom was so proud to be Nya Nya.
11:10.0
So she wanted to make like a take-out counter
11:13.0
and call it Izakaya Nya Nya.
11:15.0
Everything was Nya Nya.
11:17.0
One of her greatest achievements or greatest joy
11:20.0
was to be Nya Nya.
11:21.0
But thank you so much to the Cupcake Lab
11:24.0
making that cupcake possible.
11:26.0
Also to Manila Craft.
11:28.0
Thank you for making those edible photos of Izakaya Nya Nya.
11:32.0
I'm sure my mom is really happy about that.
11:35.0
I also want to thank Omemeshi
11:36.0
because it's the first time that they had an event like this
11:39.0
in the restaurant that they allowed us.
11:41.0
My mom lived in Japan for as long as I can remember.
11:44.0
So, Japan is very, very close to her.
11:47.0
So, we really chose a Japanese restaurant.
11:49.0
My mom made the most amazing gyoza,
11:52.0
the most amazing Japanese food.
11:54.0
So, since we're honoring her life,
11:57.0
we chose this restaurant.
11:59.0
My relationship with my mom,
12:01.0
just like any other family,
12:03.0
is not always perfect.
12:05.0
But the love was always, always, always there.
12:11.0
but I'm happy for her because she's now free.
12:14.0
She's free of stress, free of pain,
12:17.0
free of everything.
12:18.0
And someone told me that her chapter in this life is done.
12:26.0
Because she's ready to move on to her next life.
12:29.0
And I know that in my next one,
12:32.0
I'll see her again.
12:33.0
Maybe the important learning here is
12:36.0
don't take things for granted.
12:38.0
What they say is,
12:39.0
you say I love you to your loved ones,
12:40.0
you hug your mom,
12:43.0
Because you really never know
12:45.0
when it's going to happen to you.
12:47.0
I always thought I would have more time with my mom,
12:50.0
but God had other plans.
12:52.0
But she lives on in our hearts and in our memories.
12:56.0
I love you mom and I miss you.
12:58.0
I hope that I made you happy today.
