(Ngayong Mother’s Day) BIANCA UMALI  INALALA ANG NAMAYAPA NANG MGA MAGULANG

IN COMMEMORATION of her mom’s birthday ngayong Mother’s day and her dad’s death anniversary, Bianca Umali wrote a letter to her late parents.

Nitong nakaraang May 8, ay petsa na nagpapaalala raw ng bitter-sweet memories sa GMA-7 actress.

Araw kasi ito ng birthday ng kanyang ina at death anniversary naman ng kanyang ama.

Sa tuwi raw dumarating petsang ito, it brings happy and painful memories.

“A day both my guardian angels share,” she said poignantly, “one for birth and the other for death.

Ang araw raw na ito supposedly ay her mom’s 59th birthday,  and her dad’s 10th death anniversary.

Pondering on life’s uncertainty, Bianca intoned, “is not the way it’s supposed to be… it’s the way it is… the way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

“Life is short,” she further stated, “time is fast, no replay, no rewind, so make the most out of every moment as it comes.”

Tatlong bagay raw ang kanyang natutunan sa buhay: 1) be kind; 2) appreciate the simple things in life; 3)say ‘I love you’ while you can.”

At this juncture, Bianca said both to her mom (May Soler Umali) and dad (Jose Vicente Umali) how much they mean to her.

“There are no words to describe how much I admire you, how much I appreciate you, how much I thank you… for everything.

“I will never have enough time here on earth to repay all the the love you have poured unto me. I love you.

“Daddy, this long… already?

“For all those times I left it unsaid. Thank you. For being both a mother and a father.

“For being there for me, for showing the way, for being patient with me even when I made it difficult for you, for believing in me and encouraging me to dream, and being such an inspiring presence in my life.”

Nami-miss daw niya ang pagbuntot-buntot sa kanyang daddy at nami-miss daw niya sila (her mom and dad) every second of every single day.

“Everything I am is for and because of you. Stay in love. Mahal na mahal ko kayo. Until we meet again… Your daughter, “B.”

Matatandaang limang taon siya nang mamatay ang kanyang ina sa breast cancer. Five years after, namatay naman ang kanyang ama sa heart attack.

Since then, she has lived with her loving paternal grandmother Lola Vicki.

 

 

IVANA ALAWI  ITINATABI ANG YOUTUBE EARNINGS PARA MAIBILI NG BAHAY ANG KANYANG INA

MAHAL na mahal ni Ivana Alawi ang ina niyang si Fatima Marbella and she dreams of gifting her with a house.

Nakatutok talaga ang kanyang isipan sa dream na ito kaya ang earnings niya sa pagiging YouTube sensation ay inilalaan niya sa pagbili ng bahay para sa kanyang ina.

She mentioned in her vlog dated April 21 that she is not spending a single cent out of her earnings for these are earmarked for her mom’s dream house.

She was barely seven years old when her parents went on separate ways. Fatima was then pregnant with her sister Mona Louise Rey.

She lived with her dad who happens to be a Moroccan national but decided to join her mom in the Philippines in her teenage years.

Aminado siyang kumikita raw ng “six digits” sa kanyang vlogs. Dispelling the rumor that her monthly income from the YouTube channel totaled to almost a million pesos.

Hindi raw totoo na kumikita ka ng one million per day sa YouTube.

Ayaw magbigay ng specific amount si Ivana pero may mga videos daw na puwede kang kumita ng five to six digits per video.

“Hindi totoo, guys!,” she stressed. May lumabas kasing video na parang, ‘Ay, si Ivana kumita siya ng one million pesos dahil sa five million views niya.’ Hindi totoo yun.”

Her sister Mona butted in: “Hindi naman totoo ‘yung sinasabi nila na every one million views, kikita ka ng this amount.

“Hindi siya ganun, per ad siya, per view, kung gaano katagal yung ad ng tao, ano yung ad, kung magki-click sila.”
