my graduation '07
It's almost five months now that I have been separated from my family back in the Philippines and one of the things that I miss most is being around with my dad. For my reader's knowledge, my dad and I have developed a very open relationship. I probably don't see him that often because of his work, but through out the years, with all the problems and issues I've caused my parents and with all the pains he had caused the family =) -- we both somehow found our ways how to be frank and honest with each other. Discussing things by being blunt with each other, may it be with tears or laughter, I felt that those were the most genuine discussions I ever had. This understanding we have with each other has brought us the solid bond a father and daughter could have which I really really miss.
Daddy's Angels
I was never a perfect daughter (many could attest to that, hahaha) but never in my mom and dad's life they've forsaken me. Never in my life I felt alone in my battles. Even if dad would always be away from us, he would do anything just to protect me from pain. I remember the time when my daddy allowed me to take scuba diving lessons just to get over a very immature heart break -- how cool is that?!
My dad had his flaws of course. A good provider -- yes, but never a perfect husband nor father. That reminds me all the dramas occurred at home -- painful memories they are but a turning point for each and everyone of us. I must have judged my dad a few times but I would still remain his best defender. I would never let anyone harm my family -- one of the things I learned from him. He would never let anyone mistreat us ... no one. ( kaya nga ata ako lumaking siga eh =) )
with mom and dad New Year '10
My daddy means security, joy & laughter, love and my best friend. This father's day, I am writing this entry to thank him for everything he has given our family, my family and to me. He has taught me so many nice things in life. He taught me how to be a God fearing person.
daddy at Greenhills Chapel
We always attend mass as a family. He guided me on how to become a good mother, good wife and good daughter. He helped me stand up again on those times I fell and gave me confidence and strength to face my foes. He was not always there to protect us before, but he showed me how to and I did. I protected my family the way I know he will. He was the most astig dad I know -- and I am so proud to be her astig daughter.
Daddy with 1 yr old Rafael
I love you dad. I miss you =( I miss driving with you and brag how better a driver I am than you are. I miss seeing you in your ragged shorts and filthy shirt whenever you try to fix stuff at home. I miss seeing you so sweaty every morning when you get home from gym. and pick mom form the gym. I miss seeing you and Rafa play wrestling and whenever both of you work out together. I miss working with you on my brag bangles -- but to be honest I don't like you helping me because I do paint the bangles better. I miss seeing you in the head of the table whenever we have dinner as a family. I miss our family Sunday mass and dinners. I miss watching you do your sassy dance.
wacky Tony!
I miss seeing you get angry with Rafael whenever he misbehave. I miss having political conversations with you. I miss listening to your work related duties.....
.... most of all I miss being your daughter =( I miss being with you daddy. I miss crying to you. I just wish life would be easier and I could live closer to all of you. I know that you told me, that eventually I'll be able to accept that life has to go on like this... but to be honest -- I still don't understand. It's hard and I know it will hurt you to tell you this, but it's really hard to be away from all of you. =( I can't wait to see all of you this January daddy. I miss you so much. =(
