Father's Day

Talked to father just now and after listening to his rant about my brother I've at least greeted him a happy father's day. For me he is the best father there is, we all grew up without him supervising or disciplining us hence the reason why all five of us is not that really close with him. He did not have a choice, he has to go out of the country to give us the best education, best life that money can get. Initially I have not really grasp the sacrifice he did for all of us and probably until now my siblings does not understand fully his sacrifices. I've only learned about it when it was my turn to work somewhere far away from home. I'm luckier somehow that my work is pretty much easier that his. When I saw our site people working under the hot sun all day long, that was the time that I fully understand what he did for us. And he did it for 25 yrs of his life.

Most son/daughter will always side with their mother but I've always been a father's girl from the start. We have the same traits and as I am the eldest I feel that I understand him more than the others and that includes my mother. I love them both dearly anyway.

I am so grateful that he has given us the chance to have a proper education and that I am proud to say that all five of us have finished our degree and that was made possible by our dear father whose principle is that he can only give his sons & daughters education as he doesn't have anything to pass on to us. For that alone I am so grateful. We will not be here without him and my mother.

Last month we celebrated his 60th birthday and I am sure we made him happy on that special day. As today is also special I would like to wish him the best of health and more happy life ahead of him.

Tay, don't think and worry too much!! We all love you...

The legend of St. Valentine

Received thru email.... Today, February 14, candies, gifts, and most especially flowers, will be exchanged between loved ones as the entire world celebrates the most romantic holiday of all, Valentine’s Day. Traditionally, it is a time from all walks of life to express affection and devotion to their loved ones. But while this occasion has always been associated with love and romance, legend tells us that the history of Valentine’s Day — and its patron saint — is shrouded in mystery. Although it hasn’t been proven historically, there were purportedly seven men named Valentine who were honored with feasts on February 14. Of these seven men, two stories link incidents that could have given our present day meaning to St. Valentine’s Day. One of these men named Valentine was a priest during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Valentine was very much revered by the people, with the young and old, rich and poor, attending his services. At this time, Emperor Claudius was actively recruiting men to

Pagbibinata…..

I have to write this down, my eldest nephew is 10 and this summer he started to be aware of the opposite gender. It started when their neighbor went over to their place to play. Normally, my nephews will not go out of their house to play with other kids, they are just contented to play with each other and within their front yard but then with the 5yr gap between the two boys, the older one is growing fast and the common interest between the two are waning. So this girl went over to their place and according to my sister was asking my nephew to come and play computers dun sa me kanto. That started it, and every now & then they will play at home and whenever I called up, they will answer me with "Tita, we have a new friend, gusto mo kausapin mo?"... The changes were not noticeable at first but then when it did, we all became amused by it. Like yesterday the kapitbahay came by and nephew #1 immediately took a bath and sprayed perfume on him…halimuyak daw sa buong bahay hahah
