For my Dad

They said, that when we grow up, we probably be like our parents.

I’ll probably be my dad!?! :O

Actually I think what they meant was, we will inherit some of our parents mannerisms, and/or probably disposition.

I’ve never been close to my tatay before. In fact, like me, my two brothers are more close to my nanay. My sister on the other hand is my tatay’s favorite, “her unica hija”. But that changed, I think, after I graduated from my premed course. We always have funny conversations and sometimes I accompany him in his farm. Nagkakasundo din kami pag binibiro ung mom ko. :D

Unlike any other dad-son tandem, we never shared a sport. We never played basketball together nor golf (lol!). What we usually share is political point of view, where we always talk about current and past administrations. We also have this common factor, he is his mother’s favorite, and me her favorite grandson. :D

We sometimes argue, especially regarding his health. I know, sometimes I act like a paranoid regarding his diet (he’s not diabetic but we monitor his blood sugar). You know old people’s attitude towards having a general check up, more so in visiting hospitals.

He sometimes acts like a child, especially when he never gets what he wants or when we’re controlling what he eats. He sometimes walks out or stays in their bedroom. Nagdadrama lang. A little later, he’ll get something in the fridge!

But other than that, I love my dad. Though he may not read this, I want to thank him for every sacrifice he made for us. I’m not making a promise but I’ll do my best to behave and not over control him health wise.

Happy Father’s Day Itay!

Fun facts about my dad:

1. He’s a Retired Naval Officer.

2. His ring finger was severed in half due to an accident. (naipit kasi ng pinto so it was surgically removed!) lol.

3. My tatay is a better cook than my mom!

4. He loves our dogs! Imagine feeding them karne norte everyday!

5. At home, he usually eats using his right hand. I do the same thing. :D

6. He makes palusot when we caught him watching soft porn in films. Lol

7. He’s a good baby sitter. He can take care of my pamangkin/inaanak by himself. He’s probably trained by taking care of me and my siblings.

8. He stopped smoking for us. :D

9. Even if he was a Naval Officer, my dad only rode a naval Ship 3-4 times. Lol! He’s actually a training Officer/professor there.

sa lahat ng Dad dyan at mga dad nyo rin, Happy Father's day!

Kami sa bahay, bare hands pag kumakain. Syempre may serving spoon naman.

Pag may bisita, kelangang magkubyertos. Haha!

I believe more dads are better at cooking than our moms. :D
