My heart leaps, shouts and cries out of pure gratefulness to the man I call my papa. I’ve often told J, that though we’ve had a very simple life, my papa never fails to make us feel as if our little house is a kingdom and we are princesses. Not in a spoiled rotten way, but with how he always made us feel secured in his love and care. I’ve never ever been more secured of knowing we come first. I grew up with his makeshift fairy tales. About the boy who eats langka to make his fart smell good, and win the heart of the princess. He twists stories and adds a dash of his own creative juices to make them more personal. And even up to now he still claims he is 28 years old, not minding the white hairs poking up his head, and continues to make fun of himself in front of the mirror whenever he knows we are watching. He would gather pillows when I was small, put them together and make them cushions because we don’t have a mattress. We would sleep with a hard bed on our backs, but mine would be a little softer cause I’m cocooned by the pillows. And if you see my bed now, I drown myself with pillows. And they will always remind me of a man who puts our comfort first before his. He’d heat up water, place it in an empty “lapad“, wrapped it in cloth and place it in my tummy whenever I’m having a bout with dysmenorrhea. He encourages our passion whatever they may be. From the mundane to the heavy ones, he listens as we rattle about it. In college he even went to UP Cookouts and Concerts several times, and actually enjoys it. It was said that he was given a chance to work overseas when I was still inside my mother’s tummy. It was said that he didn’t go because he couldn’t bear to be apart from us. Perhaps I get this from him, the yearning to be in close contact with people that I love. He is a restless man who couldn’t sit still. He would always find something to fix in the house. He would cook, wash our uniforms, iron them. Anything and everything. He is like superman with tentacles, doing so many things at the same time. And his rest aside from sleep, would be sipping his coffee, reading the paper and watching the news, from TV Patrol to CNN. And he makes the best inun-unan and chicharon bulaklak in the world. He’d make me test sheets from my books to help me review what I’ve studied during exam seasons. I’ve always treasured those yellow pads cause I would see his neat hand writing. I remembered going out on weekends and having those few pages of yellow pads in my bag, I’ll always make sure I’ve filled them up before I go home. And he would check them like a pro teacher. There were times when VECO would cut our power off, and we would have candle lit dinners, and somehow his antics would make the situation a little less darker. He taught me poetries and even declamation pieces of great men. It started with the childlike “All things are bright and beautiful” to the iconic line of “Four score and seven years ago” from the Gettysburg Address by President Lincoln. I’ve memorized it by heart when I was a kid. He’d been a friend when I had my first heartbreak. Staying up with me in my room, oftentimes falling asleep himself, cause I don’t want to be alone. When he’d send me text messages of how he trust my strength to overcome the pain. And he believed that prayers can do wonders. And how he’ll bash the face of whoever would break his daughters heart. There were times when life’s constant push would put this man’s back against the wall. But these moments would only last for awhile and he would be back in the game again. With a big smile and a bulging tummy, he would take life the best way he knows how. I would always tease him whenever we chat cause it would take him centuries to find the keys in the keyboard. So we would do voice chat and I would always tell him “istorya pa pa.” (Talk more papa), so I could just listen to him talk. My father is a simple man with a big heart. Bigger than the world. And it would be a great joy on my part if I can make his heart smile and feel proud of knowing I am his child. I cant remember when you weren’t there When I didn’t care for anyone but you I swear we’ve been through everything there is Cant imagine anything we’ve missed Cant imagine anything the two of us cant do ~ Through the years.

INSERT INTO wp_bdprss_items_v3 (item_feed_id, item_url, item_name, text_body, item_update_time, item_time, item_date) VALUES ('3', 'http://windchimes.wordpress.com/2008/05/27/pissed-be-with-you/', 'Pissed be with you', '<div class='snap_preview'> I was tagged by <a href='http://neilm.multiply.com/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Neil</a> with 10 random things .. of just about anything.

And so I came up with this post: Nganong saputon man ang ubang taw? subtitle : Ug nganong ipagawas man sa uban? [saputon -(usage) adjective, a person who is often in a bad mood] GOVERNMENT WARNING : SAPOT is dangerous to your health. Take moderately. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> So why are some people often in a bad mood? And why do they take it out on others? or why is being in a bad mood their regular mood? make sense right? Somehow my translation sounded so serious, hehe… and I want this post to be light, cause in cases like this, humor is the best medicine. Humor me <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> Idaan mo na lang sa tawa. 1. People often get into a bad mood when they have nothing else to do. In short boredom leads people to Pissed-dom. They see the rest of the world engaged into something that occupies their mind, interest and time. And when they see themselves having nothing to “enjoy” with after punching out for work, they have this inner voice to punch somebody black and blue. 2. People often get into a bad mood when the world is happy and they are not. So when you see me on my gTalk and YM with this status “Happy shalalala”, somebody is ULTRA pissed with that. Har har har. 3. People often get into a bad mood when things don’t go their way. There is no “we agree to disagree” agreement between you and them. It’s either you agree with them or endure their wrath. Nyahahahaha **insert evil laugh**. 4. People often get into a bad mood when they don’t have a love life. I am not saying that when you are single you are prone to this.. nope nope nope siree. Having someone in your life isn’t a requirement to credit good mood (duh!), it’s what one calls a natural disposition. But just from observation, I can say that the statistics are high for those who don’t have a significant other in their lives. Think about it? Hehehe agree? Reminds me of my old-maid aunt who is always in a foul mood, that my parents usually threatens to let me spend the weekend at her place whenever i misbehave. 5. People often get into a bad mood when they lack sleep. (and food). AND this is UNDERSTANDABLE. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> 6. People often get into a bad mood when they realized you are not under their beck and call. You don’t jump when they tell you to jump. You don’t just roll over when they ask you to. Instead you wiggle your cute butt and strut your stuff. You choose your masters, and they don’t like it. 7. People often get into a bad mood when they want to go somewhere and travel but can’t, because there’s nobody to go there with. Not because they don’t know anyone, but because no one would want to go with them. And nobody wants to go with them because they are usually in a bad mood and that is just a sour travel companion. And they are in a bad mood because… oh well. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> 8. People often get into a bad mood when you tell them there might be a slight bit of a chance that they are wrong. They are so perfect that there’s no way in heaven and hell that they’ll slipped. 9. People often get into a bad mood when they’ve been to where you are right now and ,mind you, they don’t lend a hand to help you out when you were still finding your way through. And yet you made it still with much poise and grace and a mischievous smile at that. And that irks them up to no end. 10. People often get into a bad mood when they look at themselves in the mirror and realized nothing pretty much excites them. We all get into a bad mood once in awhile. I can be really bad when I’m in a really bad mood. Or I’ll just sulk in a corner, or watch a movie, or clean the house , or do the laundry, just till it wears off. What makes it wrong is when you take it out on other people. People who want to enjoy their day, who wake up right regardless of what side of the bed they wake up to, who greets people with a smile and has a sway in their walk feeling like they’re Carrie Bradshaw sashaying down NYC. And it’s just a crime to put a glitch on their day just because perhaps you don’t like the person staring back at you in the mirror this morning. That is just bad. So bad. Just buy another mirror. Pissed Peace be with you. <img src='http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/categories/windchimes.wordpress.com/488/' alt="" border="0" /> <img src='http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/tags/windchimes.wordpress.com/488/' alt="" border="0" /> <a href='http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/windchimes.wordpress.com/488/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'><img src='http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/windchimes.wordpress.com/488/' alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href='http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godelicious/windchimes.wordpress.com/488/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'><img src='http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/delicious/windchimes.wordpress.com/488/' alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href='http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gostumble/windchimes.wordpress.com/488/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'><img src='http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/stumble/windchimes.wordpress.com/488/' alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href='http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godigg/windchimes.wordpress.com/488/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'><img src='http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/digg/windchimes.wordpress.com/488/' alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href='http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/goreddit/windchimes.wordpress.com/488/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'><img src='http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/reddit/windchimes.wordpress.com/488/' alt="" border="0" /></a> <img src='http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=windchimes.wordpress.com&blog=401055&post=488&subd=windchimes&ref=&feed=1' alt="" border="0" /></div>', '1215193623', '1215193615', '2008-07-04')
