THE REASON WHY I'M STILL SANE

I dedicate this to you pa...


thank you for nurturing me with so much love that life had in store for me..
thank you for instilling me the values that nobody could ever redeem from me..
I'll walk head's up on this journey,and through this journey, always remembering what you've always taught me best--- that "Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast."

thank you pa for being a good example..this has taught me all the lessons throughout my journey--that whoever shall I meet, I give peace to them, and peace shall make it easy for me to understand their difficulties in life. Not all families have the privilege of having a father to tuck them to bed at night ( i could still remember you putting up my "little castle" the ones with the mosquito net, you'd cover it up with a blanket, cuz you told me princesses sleep under a huge castle bed..you'd bury my sweet goodnight kiss..and never cease to tell me how much you love me..

you always tell me never start a good fight, because I'll never gain such strength with truces..instead you'd encourage me to go the hard way, seizing all the struggles and at the end pick up the pieces where it once started..

you never fail any recognition and graduation exercises..i always see my papzy somewhere in the stormy crowd--cuz you out-stand them all, looking very proud at me, whispering "i love you baby darling"..medals with or without, you never fail to tell me how much you treasure my success..

your first meeting with my boyfriend was truly amazing..cuz you never showed any harm to be done with any gents that courted me. You're the best gentleman of all..Thank you for accepting my grown-up world, for telling me that you still love me not as your baby, but now as your lady..


For this papzy, I'm so amazed with what life has brought me, not because none of these really mattered..but because each stone that break, a new gold has been digged-up, new rainbows to watch out in the rain, new fountains to rediscover, without any hesitations that you weren't there to be with me, but I know "you're here" inside me...I love you papzy, and if I would be thanking anybody for this graceful life, humbly I'd be thanking the Lord God for someone so special like you...HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!
