Seeing all the kids in their formal attire hits differently. ๐ค
Weโre so used to seeing them in race jerseys, helmets, full gear, pawisan and looking so focused and brave on the track. Minsan tuloy nakakalimutan natin na theyโre still just little kids.
Then comes the awarding ceremony. Wala na ang race face, wala na ang pressure. Just happy little boys and girls, wearing their cute little outfits and celebrating together.
Looking at Alli, napangiti ako. ๐ฅน Sa track, he looks so determined, parang ang laki na niyang lumaban. Pero seeing him all dressed up reminds me baby pa rin pala siya.
And thatโs the same for all these little racers. Behind every podium finish, every trophy, and every medal is a child whoโs simply enjoying the ride, making friends, and creating childhood memories.
Today, they may look like athletes. But at the end of the day, theyโre still our little babies. The same little hands we hold, the same little feet that run to us after every race, the same little hearts that just want to hear, โIโm so proud of you.โ
And maybe thatโs what makes moments like this so special. We get to witness not just the champions theyโre becoming, but the beautiful childhood theyโre living. ๐ค
