"Good morning!" masayang bati ko sa mga bata at isa-isang hinalikan ang mga noo nila. They're currently eating breakfast at kakagising ko lang.

They greeted me back with enthusiasm, ang saya ata nila ngayon.

"What's with the mood?" I asked as I sat on the stool, kumuha ako ng isang tinapay at kaagad na kinain ito.

"Masaya lang kami Ma, Dad informed us earlier na pupunta raw tayo sa Poseidon's Crest! I can't wait to explore that resort, madami akong nabasang articles about that!" Ada exclaimed happily. Kaya naman pala.

I nodded and continued eating. The three of them are chatting and while looking at them, 'di ko maiwasang 'di maikompara ang personality nila sa isa't isa.

Adhara, as the oldest, she's the bubbly and energetic one. I've been with Ada for years so I can say na minsan ko lang iyan nakitang nakasimangot. Among them, siya ang pinaka-transparent. Malalaman mo agad base on her facial expressions kung galit siya, masaya, nagseselos, malungkot, or what.

Tamara, on the other side, is the calm and the sophisticated one. She always walks, eats, talks or do whatever with poise. Sa kanila, siya ang pinaka-mahirap basahin ang emosyon. It's rather emotionless siya or nakangiti. She always have that aura na kung saan you can feel that she's superior. But behind those, makikita mo rin ang makulit at playful side niya when she's with her sisters.

Lastly Caeleah is the innocent one. She got the face of an Angel. When she's asking for something, you cannot resist it. Her personality is like a mixture of Ada and Ara's. She's always smiling and a happy go lucky. She haa that ability na kung saan kapag nakangiti siya, 'di mo maiwasan na 'di rin mapangiti.

Magkaiba man ang mga ugali nila, I can't help but not to smile everytime I remind myself na I gave birth to these three beautiful blessings.

"Ma!" I snapped myself back to reality nang tawagin ako ni Ara.

"Yes?"

"You're spacing out. Sabi ko po, Dad is waiting at the shore. Hinanda niya po kasi ang yate kanina and now, were ready to go papuntang Poseidon's Crest." Ara explained.

Tumango lang ako, nagpaalam muna ako at umakyat sa taas to change my clothes. I decided to wear a white beach dress. Kinuha ko rin ang cellphone at ang wallet ko at kaagad na bumaba.

Sabay kaming lumabas ng villa, we locked it first dahil may duplicate key ako na bigay ni Aga kagabi and then we made our way papunta sa beach.

Gaya ng sinabi ni Ara, nandoon na nga ang yate and guess what, Aga will drive us.

Marunong ba siya? Siguro naman oo.

Umakyat na kami and pinaandar na ni Aga ang yate, not bad, he drives smoothly.

Nasa labas ang mga bata kaya I decided na puntahan sila, the cold breeze of air greeted me.

"Ma, can we take a picture? The four of us?" Cae asked nang makalapit na ako sa direction nila, I smiled and nodded.

"Of course, basta phone ko ang gagamitin." I told them at pumayag naman sila.

So we positioned ourselves and I was the one who's holding the phone katabi ko si Cae, nasa gitna si Ara habang nasa gilid naman si Ada.

"1,2,3, Smile!"

The picture we took is priceless. Ang ganda ng ngiti ng mga bata, it's the first picture I took with the three of them together after six years.

Nagdagdag pa sa effects nito ang background namin na kulay asul na dagat.

I wish we can stay like this forever..

I posted the pic on instagram.
