Our Pretty Little Scholar

Quina Angeli Gatpolintan-Alaan-Ignacio

Quina, is the eldest daughter of Sheila Marie Gatpolintan-Alaan-Ignacio. Like her Mom, she also happens to be the eldest among the cousins. And, she plays the part of an ATE very well. She is a very good role model to her younger cousins by always doing her best in everything she does, be it in school or in her extra-curricular activities. At a very young age, Quina got a full scholarship at the British International School and I heard she is at the top of her class. She is also into acting. She played the part of Marigold in a play (her sister Camille was her understudy) and did a TV commercial for a new hot dog brand. Her Mom read me some of her sample writings and I was impressed. We have a budding writer in her. Quina is such a special girl who is into all kinds of things. She has both beauty and brains. Plus, she has the confidence! She is a very well rounded girl. Humble and very unassuming. One who has common sense and could blend in with any crowd.

Ate Quina inspires her little cousins aspire to do well like her. The competitive children that they are, they actually wanna top Ate Quina's achievements. Dili magpapildi an mga manghod! Labwan pa kuno nila! Aba aba!!! Camille, Quina's younger sis, who is super independent, is another beauty and brains to watch out for. Kyla, their cousin, is also very competitive. She got accelerated to a grade higher because her teachers thought she was too advanced already. Then, there's also my godson, Toffee in Singapore, who was also accelerated, according to cousin Jonathan. Kat and Kimboy, compete in their own clever ways. They work on their own and always surprise us with their antics and talents. I'm still waiting for Twinkle and baby Karrie to show us what they got. Hehehe.

But, I'm glad, they have an Ate Quina to look up to. She is setting a very good example. I am very proud of her.

I love you Quins! Stay grounded and keep up the good work in school, etc. You are a model Ate. And, thanks for always being the good Ate that you are to the mini Salings.

And, of course, I love your kakikayan. . . tinatalbogan mo na sa kakikayan si Tita Ann ha. Hehehehe. But, that is super fine. Its the Saling in us. And, magkasundo tayo jan. Tita Ann is your official Kikay source! I'm here for you all the time.
