My Dad's Letter to His Other Women Left a Tear in My Eye...

His emotions must have been eating him up that caused some mispelled and missing words. Please bare with him.

To my other women in my my life,

Thank you for putting up the funds so that your mom and i can watch the lettermen and spiral staircase last night at araneta colisuem

We were both excited that we made paalam from our respective offices to allow us to leave at 5pm so we'll have plenty of time braving the traffic to cubao and have dinner together.

After parking at Gateway 3rd level under, we proceeded to find a good restaurant that will cater to our fancy and tastebuds that evening. We finally chose Italiannis. as usual i ordered grilled peppered fish and mom ordered seafood fettucini. the food's great just don't ask us how much we spent for that dinner. by today's standard where everybody's hard up, we spent a fortune. hehehe

on to the show. at the gate, mom was so frustrated when the gateguard asked her to finish her coffee outside, bawal sa loob. and to think that she made pila at coffee bean only to be stopped at the gate. hehehe. tapon, syempre.

the first act was upton of spiral staircase. still a very good singer inspit of his age. the audience gave him a thunderous applaus and sang with him. well' your mom knew all the sogns upton sang last night. age is showing...

after short intermission, the lettermen came onstage. the music still carried the nostalgic
and love themes of the song, beautifully rendered by the trio. Almost all of the pinoys favorite were sung and they also knew how to play the crowd. they should, after all they've been in business for 48 years and been coming to the philippines for past many years.

i don't know about your mom, but me? ( i enjoyed it very much.)

but i was doubly happy and elated observing your mom all through out the evening. she was applauding the performance with much gusto, kulang na lang tumayo at tumili. nag comment pa! hindi raw marunong mag appreciate young mga katabi nya. surrounded kami ng mgs pinoy-chinese of our age level. hindi sila masyadong pumapalakpak. baka kaya matanggal ang mga diamante sa mga singsing nil pag nag clap ng hands. but laer on patapos na, bumigay din. hahahaha

i think your mom really enjoyed the show. there was one time she refused to go to the C R saying marami pa segurong tao, during another break. but i know may apprehension sya baka mag simula na. hehehe

in the second part of the show, the lettermen cam on-stage wearing barong tagalog. they sang many pinoy classics. i thought they only knew dahil sayo. i was wrong, they sang 5 more filipino classics to the delight of the audience. then they reverted back to their own classics.

overall, the show was an outstanding success.

io think mom had tears in her eyes. am not just too sure. hehehe

any i just want to thank you guys for contributing whatever amount each of you can afford to give us a memorable evening.

luv ya all.

Bakit Ayoko ng mga Pelikulang mga Labing Labing

kasi nakakairita ang mga pa tweetums na artista at mga banat na pick up lines.
kasi hindi naman nangyayari ang mga yun sa totoong buhay, lalong lalo na ang mga ideal na partner.
kasi feeling ko na-bo-bobo ako.

kasi... kasi... kasi...

kasi madami akong naalala.
kasi naiisip ko ung nakaraan
kasi naiisip ko ung ngayon
kasi naiisip ko ung bukas...

Naisip Ko Lang

na noon...
sa totoo lang...
kaya pala hindi ako maka alis
at taon akong nagtiis
ay hindi dahil
martyr ba ako?
siguro...
takot ako?
oo...
takot ako na baka
pag umalis ako
hindi mo ako sundan....




... hindi nga

The Man of my Life

I cant feel my feet as i walk briskly towards Centennial Airport's International Arrival area. The plane just landed. And as he walked out from the arrival door I did not recognize him. Was it because he was gone for a long time? Or maybe is it because he lost some weight, haven't been to a barber shop? Oh well, what the heck! Deep inside I know it is him. As he walks near where I am standing, it feels like everything stopped. I drew my arms around him. He hugged me back. No words were uttered but our hearts spoke how much we missed each other. I almost forgot that there were people around and that we are still in the airport, I dont want to take my arms off him. But then, I almost couldn't hold onto my emotions that I almost cried. And so I dont want to make a scenario, I finally let go of him and placed the lei of orchids around his neck. Pictures were taken. Smiles seems to be plastered in our faces.

As we walk towards the parking area, having him beside me, my arm anchored to his, it felt like walking on the clouds. Along the way to the venue for his surprise victory/ welcome party, the rain started to pour. and it poured hard. But we did not mind. We did not mind the traffic, the level of water starting to rise, the loud roar of thunders. While enjoying the car ride with him, other members of the family patiently and excitedly awaits for us. And when we finally got there, banners were put up, my brothers and sisters applauded him and my nephews and niece ran towards him.

Yes it is my DAD alright. Just came back from EVEREST Advanced Base Camp. He is the MAN behind the KAYA ng PINAY Expedition (He is one of the Expedition Leader for this) . From getting the money, ex deals, promotions etc. up to the real thing. The man is 58, and we all know that at that age, there are already a lot of health conditions, but still HE MADE IT. THE TEAM MADE IT, without sacrificing their health and lives. They just took the risk. and with the help of prayers and faith, MISSION was ACCOMPLISHED.

The moment he told me that after Leo Oracion and Pastour Emata's successful reaching the summit, they are going to have another climb - and that is the KAYA ng PINAY - I believed in him. I supported him. He was always in my prayers. I always talk about him. I listen to him. He always had me behind him. It is the least I can do for ALL the support he gave me for all my endeavours.

I can still remember after trekking to acclimatize themselves, before going to Everest proper, he emails us and told us not to worry, he feels healthy and strong. and the part that really made me shed a tear was when he said that : " this climb is for you (meaning US - his family)"

It is a dream come true for every mountaineer to step a foot on Everest. He did. He also helped others to have their foot step there.

And the most important thing among his accomplishments is that he remained HUMBLE.

I am so happy for him. No words can ever describe how happy and how proud I am for his success, for having him as my father and having myself as his daughter. He is the man of my life... and forever he will be.
