it's my tatay's 51st bday today. i know i've said before but i would like to say again, i am a papa's girl and always will be.
i think i got my salesman, charming, smiling, drunkard genes from him. hihihi...i have yet to meet a person who can beat my papa's drinking abilities. he can finish 24 bottles of beer by himself in one night, and still go to work early next day. oh, i also got my adventurous and music lover thingo from him. i miss listening to queen's or ccr's music at 6 in the morning. he's the only person i know who can do videoke by himself and actually enjoy it.
when i was growing up we were always a team against my mom. my mom is a full time disciplinarian and we always got our dad to spoil us. whenever my sister and i get medals in school, i would not go up the stage if it weren't my dad going with me. my mom would go with my sister, but of course my father got up more. i remember the pride in his eyes every time but most especially when he went up with me during my college graduation. he never went to college and he literally slaved himself to put me to the top school in the country, and his 20 year effort had finally paid off. he may not have gone to college, but im sure he is fulfilled getting up that stage with me. it wasn't just i who graduated that day, so did he (and my mom).
now he's 51 and he's still looking good and fit. i know it's too freudian... but when i get married, i want someone like my father.
