We spend every summer at our ancestral house in Pangasinan. Aside from sparkling beaches and native food, I always look forward to being with Lola Toyang, my father’s mom. My Lola is now 97 years old. Despite
her age, she is still full of life. Living in the province has done her good.
This summer, we taught her the Korean heart pose where you put your thumb over your pointing finger to make a heart shape. She was very fond of learning different poses. I was fortunate enough to have caught this moment. Who wouldn’t love seeing Lola smile like that? I showed her this picture and asked her:
“Lola, what is smile in Panggalatok?”
“Imis,” she replied still with a big smile on her face.
