It got me more in touch, though masked and at a physical distance, yet connected to true genuine friends who are great bakers, cooks, and more. Thank you @anndavid8@nikkidoodledo and @mzeenger, the COO of @max.and.lucys.

Shown here are classic bibingka and the best cassava flan cake, not too sweet, and just right! Recipe formulation by @anndavid8 and passed on as a heritage recipe to @nikkidoodledo.

I also love seeing my daughter @coriput bake Christmas cookies with her 5yo #princess2015la‘s.

Now, I feel elated starting my daughter baking at 3yo @coriput who has now passed it onto my 5yo granddaughter, whose wisdom is that of a ten year old.

Yesterday, she explained to her grandpa the concept of “not blaming others. Why is that, she continues, because it hurts their feelings. Just say sorry for what you did.”

Then, she shared another story of a criticism she heard, “I am not sure he listens to his own voice, as he doesn’t know he is hurting her feelings.”

I smiled and felt satisfied that even if I leave the earth suddenly, not my wish to reach my bookend yet as I want to live for my granddaughter and see her grow to be an adult, maybe the first Filipina American Senator, VP or President, I know deep down in my heart that I would have left the earth with #earthangels, better than I found it.
