Catching Up with the Roses

It has been quite sometime now that I haven’t showed myself to the whole JCI-Ozamiz Red Rose community!  But as what my students always say, “Past is past, let’s not discuss”, let’s not discuss heartaches here!  I am just glad that I did saw them last night for Atsi Ann’s birthday bash!


To my “mother” president, thank you so much for making my baby Jaycee year a very memorable one!  Thank you, Atsi Ann for your kind heart and never-ending understanding.  Thank you for the love and care as a real Atsi to me!  You are the older sister I never have.  I love you, Atsi! 🙂

After the dinner party at New Central Restaurant, onto my favorite couch in the city!


And there we had more talk, more fun, and more laughs!  Oh, I had missed this kind of super bonding moment with these beautiful red roses!  ‘Till our next meeting, ladies! 🙂

Written by Mae Olandesca

Mary Rosalie Olandesca, a lover of the arts, humanities, and social sciences, found herself entangled in the realm of applied science and engineering, a path that didn't align with her true passions. Determined to break free from her "chemical engineer" title in the Philippines, she embarked on a brave journey to Toronto, fitting her life in only two suitcases. Despite completing her Chemical Laboratory Technician program at Seneca Polytechnic just recently, she realized that the chemical world failed to ignite her heart. A momentous realization led her to embrace her true calling as a writer, with a Creative Writing course acting as the catalyst for her long-time passion in wordsmithing. Thus emerged the extraordinary persona of Mae, the other side of her multifaceted identity.
