Let me start this by telling you how I hated the times when you always ask me about that app you just downloaded that I think won’t be of use at all for you, because hey, it’s Instagram, and the times that I got annoyed when you asked me about the life updates of this certain vlogger because I actually don’t have any idea at all who that person is. And do you remember the time when you kept asking me over and over again like a broken record about this TikTok “famous dance”? I was surprised you know it because even I don’t have any idea about it at all.
It got me thinking, am I really the young one here?
I forgot that you are cool and that you just want to keep up with the trend like the way you were when you were my age… just like how I am today. I got to admit, you’re way cooler than I am, Dad, and I love that about you.
But not just because of being the “trendy old man”, but because you really are the coolest and greatest Dad in the world.
You taught me how to be kind even if others are not, and be patient even if it takes longer than expected. You taught me how to be contented and make the most of what I have. You taught me how to be strong and stand up every time I fall, and to never give up even if life hits me so hard. And most importantly, you taught me how to love unconditionally despite the imperfections. So, thank you, Dad.
Thank you for shaping me and for letting me pick a life that I love… that I dreamed of, even if society told me otherwise. Thank you for teaching me how to love my flaws and accept who I really am. Thank you for making me realize that it’s okay to be different, that no matter how different I am, someone will pick me, someone will love me. Because you did.
And you know what, Dad? Whenever people tell me I’m very hardworking, I always think of you because I got it from you. What can I say? Hard work is hereditary. I owe everything to you of what I am today.
I am so lucky to call you my Dad.
You are my strongest critic yet my biggest fan which makes it even because I’m also your biggest fan, Dad.
You are also the toughest yet most softhearted man I know and I salute you for that.
We might not say it a lot but we love you, Dad!
Like what we said to Mom, a “thank you” is never enough to match what you’ve done for us.
Happy Father’s Day, Dad!

I know this is too late for Christmas. But hey, remember the saying better late than never.
Hahahaha. This is what I wore during Christmas Eve. Sorry if I only got one outfit shot because my sister wasn't in a good mood to take pictures that time.
About my outfit, if you'd notice, the top looks familiar, right? I've worn this before, click this to see the details. Brown pants are so in today that's why when a family friend of ours gave this to me on my birthday, I was really excited to wear it. Now that I've worn it, I don't think I pulled it off, really :( This was a rush because we're gonna be late in the malatines-- a mass on Christmas Eve. I don't know what to wear so I just picked anything in my closet.
Look at her. She's the famous gloomy bear. When I was in high school, I was really obsessed with it. I was dying to have at least one stuff toy. But unfortunately, gloomy bear isn't available in the Philippines yet, until now :(But when my classmate said that she's making accessories out of clay, I told her to make gloomy bear--- and here's the outcome :)

It’s not about having a baby to be complete but to be with the one you love that completes you. if having a baby is the reason why you married your wife/husband, then you are not in love with that person. because if you truly love him/her, you wouldn’t risk your relationship just because of that. Contentment is the key to Happiness. don’t force God to give you what you want and most importantly, never blame God for what He didn’t give you what you want. He just gave you what you need. and that’s the most important of all things over what you wanted. He is always thinking of you, if what’s good for you. yes! that’s our Father. one and only love of our lives. Jesus Christ

Who says life is a matter of choice? well i guess it is.
Life is like a game. in order to win you have to play it right, now back to the first sentence, it’s a matter of choice because you’re the one who is playing it.
It was 10am when i sat down in front of the TV and trying to find a great movie and luckily i found one, it is THE LOVELY BONES on HBO. it’s a story about a 14 year-old girl who was murdered by their neighbor. at first it was so mysterious that i didn’t know who and why was she killed. and it turned out to be so interesting that i had finish it. I really liked it, no, i loved it. The story is great, so if you would ask me which part i liked about it i would answer you EVERYTHING because as the story goes there’s something that i have to find out and that’s what i’m looking for.
“You’re not supposed to look back, you’re supposed to keep going.” -Holly
The story tells us about life. About the past, Present, and the Future. If you are living in the present, don’t look at the past. it will only hurt you unless your past is great? you won’t be able to move and go on with your life if you are still living in your past.
“I was slipping away, that’s what it felt like, life was leaving me, but I wasn’t afraid; then I remembered: “There was something I was meant to do; somewhere I was meant to be.” - Susie Salmon
And yes, don’t afraid to die, be ready. If you still aren’t just think of this, “when the moment of your life is over, it isn’t. Sure your body is dead and frozen but in fact you are alive. You just have to leave your body lying underground but you will go up and have to meet Him. When your time is up, there’s a new life waiting for you, where there is no pain, no hunger, but full of happiness.
