Tribute Video

Melissa Villa — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 17:30:14 +0000

I made this photo montage in honor of my (half) sisters and my cousins who I called Sistahs and in honor of Ojie and Nonoy who I called Sistaaahhs! The reason behind of doing this montage is for me to express how blessed and thankful I am to have all of them in my life… I didn’t grow up with a mother and my father passed away when I was only 12… and these people treat me like their own daughter and/or sister and they give me a good sense of what family is all about …. but of course, i also have the male cousins, the nieces and nephews who i love just as much…. so here’s my humble tribute:
