Dad, Love and Us

Keeping you good thoughts this special day of our number one superhero...

For all the previous birthdays, achievements in your entire life, your decades of fidel years of marriage with the woman you sworn off before Him to spend the rest of your breaths with, may the One up there has you a bestowal you most deserve.
I come to this phase of my timeline arraigned in this sheet of paper.
Seldom do we have lavish feast as you have taught us living life in utmost below our means, everything in low key. Never did we spoke up against you for you instilled in us about the Seventh Commandment. Parties and extra-curricular activities were always of reluctance for you have warned us about the tendencies of juvenile delinquencies. These things were stashed in my basket of second-to-second reminders when I was out in the world. Along the course since childhood to finding freedom – my own means of making up for my living. I admit I cried bloody tears because of your disposition as father. This had been my drama. Yes, I thank my friends, so with my acquaintances who simply had been nice to me, uncircumstantially or circumstantially.
Dad, no ingrate human being with all that you are is me biologically though some parts of me are re-grown physiologically. You may not be the highest idealistic stance of paternity. There is this heart of the fullest gratitude that belongs to me. There will never be a complete bulleted enumeration but somehow I came up with the following:

<3 You are the sweet Dad that I know. You remember our every birthday though not always said with greetings or ice cream.

<3 You are the romantic hubby to Mom. Momma acts giddy before us when you come close to her and grab her... You spew sculpting words -- be in your workplace or at home. I remember one time when Bogart, our long-haired mongrel housemate was driven out of the house in a screech by your sudden rage. Leave it to your  work where your fellow teachers' promotion are being cared of. May your predecessors and people you meet along the way be something that goes with the opposite of being reactive at the fit of your provocation... You are one minimalist... You are one naturalist...

WOMAN-ified ME

I was born a woman but ended up acting the opposite. Clumsiness and its cousins in the thesaurus is what I am. Finesse goes unsaid and unheard in my world. I preferred oversized tees over fitting blouses. I refused figure-flaterring dresses for loose pants. I would choose a paintless face even being merged with a bin of all-made-up pretties. But I knew I am a woman inside. So are the secret feelings that have silently died. It was only me who knows everything of what-really-is. It was hard shifting to finer moves. Oh graceful me in sweat! I hate being with someone who I cannot see myself. Because to me, gaudiness is parallel to fun. Not long after, I’ve been to stores of pallets. So the smudged me emerged. Little by little, I’ve added garments I thought I can never wear. These changes of seeing ourselves that can improve us.   

International Friendship Day

July 30. International                F-R-I-E-N-Dship Day. This gift called friendship.      A casual hi and hello tauted to sharing of one's favorite hobby over a cup of coffee and another then another... A bump of elbows in a crowded pizzeria... In a workplace where stiff personality takes its mellow... A mutual liking of a celebrity something as superficial as that... A friend who can be as funny as nasty when mad, who can be garrulous and meek at the same time, who can be your stylist and critic, who can be your kind shoulder and keeper of your darkest secret... Friends spell an array of fruits, colors and season.      Here's a little story of the net-manic me...      Long before Mark Zuckerberg was out with his Facebook was this Friendster that hooked me to staying up long hours (sometimes even longer than doing homework) in an internet shop. Then Friendster was to become...

Sa kanila, … Ako ‘yong batang gusgusin. Nanlilimahid at pinuputakti ng lahat ng klase ng langaw at lamok. ‘Yong amoy ko kasi masahol pa sa – Ano ba ‘yong naamoy mong pinaka sa tanang buhay mo? Kung anuman ‘yon, ‘yon na ‘yon. Gula-gulanit ang kaisa-isa kong dyaket na nakapaimbabaw sa obersays kong dating puting-puting t-shirt e nangingitim na. Bigay lang ‘to ng mamang napadaan dalawang taon na ang nakalipas. At ‘tong pwetan ng bestida kong kaluma-luma’y tagpi-tagpi. Ako’y walang pera ni isang kusing. ‘Alang makain. D’yan lang pagala-gala. Walang tiyak na patutunguhan. A basta, kung anuman ang inabot sa ‘kin ng mga nadadaaanan ko, kinukuha ko. Salamat sa mga panahong nakakatsamba ako sa mga hilera ng basurahan ng pamatid-gutom. Pero para sa kanya, … Prinsesa raw ako. Katunayan e, Prinsesa Juana ang tawag n’ya sa ‘kin. Hihihi… Nakakalanggam naman! Naghihinatay daw sa ‘kin ang napakagarang mansiyon. May malaking kama sa sarili kong kwarto. ‘Tong bestida kong ‘to, sus papalitan Niya...
