Astrid's Graduation

Yesterday, my youngest daughter Astrid graduated at La Consolacion College-Binan with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA). Thank God she was still able to make it after a traumatic car accident three weeks ago.

She's the driver of our honda CRV when due to the heavy rains, the car lost its control and hit the high pavement instead. The two tires explode and she was hospitalized for CT scan. She's probably too fast, underestimate the curve and had no knowledge of aqua planning.

Thank God her CT scan result was normal. Good thing when the accident happened her classmates just got off the car and only one left but she's at the back seat. They just came from southforbes swimming party to celebrate the birthdays of the two classmates.

I believe that she was guided by our LORD because the accident happened in front of the church after the southwoods exit. Indeed, miracle happened in some mysterious ways. Our Mama Mary statue is very much intact in front and would you believe that there's no scratches on the car, all the damage was underneath.

Though the cost of repair is really high, what is important is LIFE. It's her second life and probably she still had a mission to fulfill. With her graduation in college, its not the end but its the beginning of a new life. A life outside the school and hopefully she can find a job soon. For me its not the end as well, i still have two kids in college. Education is the only gift that i can give to them. Kudos also to my better half Dirk, who's very supportive to my children's education and fulfillment of their dreams.

To you anak, Congratulations and a Happy Second Life!!!!
