A blog for my dad (Father's Day any day)

-

I haven't had the chance to write a blog last Father's day. I left my draft as it is for I was so busy preparing something special for my husband. *sigh well here it is!



Father's Day is a very special day dedicated to commemorate all the DAD's in the world. It is the best time to look back and appreciate what our DAD's had done for us. 


DAD- One word but sure do have a lot of meanings! In a child's eyes, this word means someone whom he or she can call on to whenever he/ she is in trouble or whenever his/ her mom wont let him/ her play outside. DAD's are always there whenever he/ she cant get what he/ she wanted, and these Dad's will get it whatever the consequences are. If you are a WIFE, DAD is someone she can call on to whenever the faucet needs a repair for a leak, or whenever there's a broken cabinet that needs a repair. See, there are a lot of different meanings whenever one calls someone a DAD. You can have someone whom you call Dad, even though he's not your biological father.This word is very broad, yet powerful.

For me, there are only two definitions for this word. It defines the two Dad's I treasure in my life now. 

1. the "DAD" in Daddy's Little Girl. Yup! I dearly love this man who gave everything he could for us to have a happy home.His strength was noticeably amazing even in his last days.He was my dad and I'm his little girl. He was my mentor, my protector, the love of my life during my growing years. He was my crying shoulder, my Pillars, the Goliath who appears strong and tries to protect us against all odds. He was my comforter, the provider of all my basic and not so basic needs, he was my spoiler, my guide towards some decisions in life. He was the good guy when my mom's the bad guy LOL. He was my Past who stayed with me and will be part of my Future.


2. DADA. The clown who gave my stiff life a twist of fun and laughter, the person who made me realize that life isn't about working hard and earning money- sometimes you have to know how to spend your money in a fun way. He is a totally-opposite-of-me type of dad. He is my Boy who cried wolf type of dad - still love him though! He is my Chef, My eating buddy- though I kinda learned how to avoid eating everything he eats, cause my diet will be damned if I do! LOL.He is my drinking and food trip buddy, My Spoiler, my sweet-yet-war-freak type of dad. He is the DADA of our child, the Sweet and Loving kind of Dad who works hard and is willing to sacrifice everything for his family. He is my Present and will forever be my Future.

To the two most important DAD's in the world! kampai! Everyday is a perfect day I'll cherish the different roles you have played and recently play in my life. I love you, happy Father's day!

    Sis you really have a knack in writing. Everytime I read your blog, it brings me to back in time as if I'm was back home, as if Dad is still there. So much memories, so much laughter and tears. I guess the important thing is we are together. Nothing can beat family :)- ate mi

For 4 years, my Alma Matter was and still is the University of Santo Tomas .  There are a lot of reasons to be proud of this University. The Character built within each and every students who enroll in this campus are remarkable and I can say made us, Filipinos proud of our race.  For Centuries (400 years), Catholic catechism has been the basis of the University's teachings. When I took up Fine arts back in 2002, there are less lectures and more on hands-on drawings and labs. This means lesser class hours for Christian living lessons *sigh. Less time, but unforgettable teachings. How can I forget my professor, Mr. Cura? He was 65 years old back then, but still he was teaching. He was a real emblem of PASSION, PATIENCE. He was a real inspiration for everyone whom he shared his life with. Apart from the great teachings and lectures I had with Mr. Cura, the University's annual activities being held like "PASKUHAN" is one of the reasons why I dearly love my Alma Matte...

August 7, 2010 (Saturday) Lesson #1 Each and every patient is unique. They might have the same symptoms, but they have different causes. The doctors should treat each patient differently, ask questions, and listen. In our case, I told this doctor that my daughter has cough for almost a month now and the doctors including my daughter's pedia heard that her lungs are clear whenever they listen through it. It turned out that my daughter had viral fever which was caused by pneumonitis. If only this gay doctor from the ER last saturday LISTENED. He could have admitted us that day and no need to send us away. Lesson #2 Mothers knows best . It is part of our innate instinct to feel that there's something wrong happening to our loved ones. Indeed, gabby just had a plain HIGH FEVER but who are they to tell us not to have our daughters admitted when we felt there's something wrong. When we believe in something, we have to stand up for it and fight. yes, FIGHT. I have to sound...

Nothing else matters, nothing in this world will do. Jesus at the center, everything revolves around you. Jesus, You at the center of it all. -"Jesus be the center" by Israel Houghton and New breed. Woke up at around 6 o'clock in the morning and I was listening to this song in which I thought was very timely. I was playing over it again and again until I organized some valuable thoughts, experiences creating a microscopic organization of my life from the time I really let the Lord take over my life. Looking back at it, I can testify to one Truth:  that Jesus is a faithful God, He listens to prayers and gives us the desire of our hearts in a timely manner. There were prayers I once made such as prayer for family reconciliation, personal prayer for other people and personal prayers I made for me and gabby. These prayers, in time were answered without me even waiting for it. There's a prayer I once made which I thought would never happen because of unfor...
