Daddy's Li'l Girl


As we all know, today is Father’s Day? How did spent yours? As for me, we just dine out at Alex III, Tomas Morato. Wanna know who picked the place, hahaha! Who else, ME!!! A couple of days ago, I already told dad that we’ll be having dinner at Alex III on Father’s day coz I was craving for Kare-kare and their famous pork bar-b-q then. True enough, that’s what we had plus a platter of various inihaw. YUMMY! BUSOG!!!

Who paid the bill, DAD!!! :) I was suppose to, but he opted to!

I miss the days when I was still a kid, the days when I would often sit on dad’s lap, play board games with him, study with him teaching me math and science, when he would feed me crabs, shrimps, etc with his hands coz I don’t want my hands to get dirty and smelly, when he would bring and fetch me to and from school, the days that I would get a reward from getting good grades, the days that he would rest me back from mom, and many more fun days … I miss those days, I miss my dad per se!!!

He thought me a lot of things, from 1-2-3’s, to A-B-C’s, to 1+1, praying the rosary, playing snakes and ladders, answering word games, building lego’s, etc. He was even very supportive when I used to have a crush on Yeng Guiao (PBA's Sarsi team coach), he got the whole family a ticket to the team’s ball game and even asked mom to contact tito Jun and tita Beth Celis so I would get to meet Yeng in person, cool huh!

I remember one day when I was in middle school that he caught me kissing a picture of my crush (not Yeng anymore), geeesshhh! I saw him laughing and told me that it was so cheap of me to do that act! HAHAHA! :)

Another touching incident was when my BF and I broke up, it was the night of the October Fest in Tomas Morato then. When I got to our booth, dad was already there with some family friends. He asked me where my BF was, I told him he’s at home, my eyes were swollen that time, he hugged me tight and kissed me at the forehead and told me everything’s gonna be fine.

Another break up … I texted him and informed him about it. He called me at the office and asked me to go on half-day and proceed to his place. We had merienda and talked about things. He gave me comforting words, and it did helped me a lot.

I would often call dad every time I feel like drinking and couldn’t find a friend or whenever I miss him. We would hang out at some quiet place, have beer or wine, some food and of course our own cigars – yes I could smoke infront of my folks! From then on, I would speak my piece, confide my problems and/or just simply discuss politics, government issuses, environment, ect. etc.

That’s how I’am with my dad, we could talk about anything and everything under the sun. I tell him everything, my dreams, frustrations, fears, cheers, crushes, and all. I’m more close to him than my mom. We have this “father and daughter” connection. I admit it, I’m a “papa’s girl”! What I want, I get!

Dad is always there, at the right time and at the right place! He never left me hanging, he never left me alone. He would always pick me up every time I stumble. When I was in my down most moments, he was there right beside me. He always has time for me - short notice’s, I can count on him! He’s my guiding light, my mentor, my coach, my everything.

My dad showered me with so much love and care! He showed me unconditional love, a love that has no boundaries, a love that doesn’t have BUT’s and IF’s … just plain but pure LOVE! A love that I felt only from him.


… To my dad, Happy Father’s day! I owe you big time. I owe you who I’am today. I’m one lucky daughter coz you showed me love like God’s love! I love you very very much!!!

Thank you for bearing with my tantrums, hahaha! :) ‘love you!
