Mi Amore is an Italian phrase that means My Love. This is a sequel to the author’s 12th book titled Oeuvre. This is a love story or Autobiography of the author to her beloved Cid (dummy name). The couple dated each other in 2022-2024 and she wanted to immortalize the times they have spent together. It is also no accident that they both shared a love for arts. As he is a local Baguio City, Philippines photographer and a jazz musician, she on the other hand verbalizes and pens her love, admiration, genuine appreciation and commitment to him. For the author, Cid is a state of peace and quietness, a place of arrival and completion. Mi Amore is a transcript of their conversations, spending time; dates, lovemaking, and rumination of their love spent together. Due to privacy reasons, the author deemed it proper to change the names of his family and friends. The author also would like to emphasize that this is originally a keepsake or another “Ode to Cid” Part 2. This is the finality of the two books that will serve as their memoir and journal. It chronicled the past dating events they attended together, it transcribed the conversations they had alone, basically revealing vulnerable, intimate moments to the reader. This book wanted to preserve the kindness, the goodness, the honor and the legacy of a local Baguio City photographer – a silent force shaping Baguio City’s landscape and history.
