My Fondest Memories of my Dad :-)
Let's take a break from foodtripping this time to pave the way for my tribute to my most fave man in my life. It's his birthday today so what better way to put him in the spotlight on this special occasion is an endearing tribute for him. So I'm letting you in on my personal corner -- a sneak peek of how my Dad is and how much blessed I am with my greatest miracle.
The following excerpts are extracted from the forum where it is originally posted.

I saw a very touching TVC by thinkfamily.org through Facebook about the ups and downs between a Father-Daughter relationship. I just thought about my Dad who has always been my bestfriend since I was little. Grave jud among bonding since bata pa ko, that's what I always tell my friends. So to further give credit to a very special man in my life, lemme count the ways of how blessed I am to have the coolest Dad ever!
(excerpts nalang k gghan man jud hehehe)
... I used to be so reluctant in going to school back in Pre-Elem days that my Dad had to bribe me with icecream before we go to school... take note, that's icecream for two schoolyears in Kinder and Prep!
... Whenever I used to have colds and cough, he always put Vicks on my neck, back and chest so I won't have a hard time breathing
... Every Card Day in school, with honors or without the merit cards, he would still bring me to Wimpy's (wala pay Mcdonalds sauna) or Brutus or Ding How as a reward
... From Grade School til High school, he never fails to send me flowers on my birthdays and V-days because according to him, he wanted that he will be the first man to give me flowers before I have my first boyfriend
... but most of all... this one tops my list... when I had my first heartache (my 1st ex broke up with me), my Dad was there beside me and cried with me until I felt so much better... Never did I hear him say, "I told you so..."
Thank you so much Dad for giving me the best childhood that a kid could ever have... Love you so much!

My Dad spent sleepless nights when I was hospitalized for ten days. He cried with me throughout my painful procedures, encouraged me to fight back when I was in my lowest point and he made me smile during my discomfort... I am so lucky to have a Dad like you, Pappy... I love you so much Pa... Happy Father's Day!

Oh how i remembered when my Dad had his 1st stroke last October 27, 2008. After a couple of days in the cardiac intensive care unit, he was transferred to a private room and we were just talking of how he got into the hospital. Then he had lunch and I even told him to sleep so he could rest. Later in the evening, he didn't wake up that time since he had a brain stroke and he was like in a coma... ur line nasyo, reminded me of how painful it was to see my Dad almost lifeless and sleeping in bed...
there were so many things i wanna tell him but i wasn't sure if he could hear me... there were desperate times when i kept repeating the words, "squeeze my hand Pa if u can hear me..." but no response at all... out of despair at that time, i told him for the first time which i selfishly kept from him... I told him how much i love him and not to leave me... that was the most trying times in our family... then after days and nights of prayers, i got a call from my sister when i was on my way to the hospital from work that my Dad suddenly woke up and asked about me first... when i arrived, i was so elated with so much happiness to see my Dad for the first time crying out for me as if we haven't seen each other for a long time... I hugged him and told him finally, "Pappy, don't you ever scare me like that again ha..."
Now, it's been almost a year since his last stroke, not a day goes by that I wouldn't think that i am so blessed to have a miracle in the person of my Dad... thank you so much Lord for blessing me with such great gift.. a gift of time...

This happened only recently and just goes to show, my Pappy still
treats me like his baby hehehe...
At a party, twas past midnight and still there was an open bar going. I joined in my sister's table with her hubby and his friends. My bro-in-law was trying to set me up with his buddy who was also single and he kept telling his friend good stuffs about me and I was just playing along and acted cool til we were left alone with the music playing waaaaaaaa... I could hear my sister and her hubby teasing in the background.. As we were talking about our common ground in terms with college stuffs and schools, my Pappy peeked in from the window and said, "Beyee, sleep na langga. It's late."
Toinks... at the back of my mind, I was laughing and thought, "ngeks, how old am I again? hahaha... si pappy jud, dili discreet hahahaa"
Well, their plan backfired coz of Pappy lols..

a father's love will never ever wane even if you're too old to be treated like a baby...
that's what I've realized today... I was too sick to work this morning that I stayed in bed the rest of the day... my pappy was on his way to do some errands but he checked on me first if I was doing okay... then he asked what cravings do I have for the day just like old times when I'm sick... hours passed, he came home bringing my fave comfort food... all through out the day, he checks up on me and let me eat and eat lols...
though I'm too big to be carried just like he used to but still I felt how much I am loved especially when I'm too abusive of my health at his own expense lols..
Thanks so much pappy for taking care of me today... ((hugs))

Lately, I treasure the moments I have with my Dad even just a simple laughtrip over coffee or breakfast with him. Though he can be very pushy and simply eats up my patience all the time but still it breaks my heart when I disappoint him for not getting things done the way he wanted. I'm always at his beck and call and drops everything for him when something comes up, ing-ana ka lakas ako Pappy nako hehehe... Besides seeing his ininsik smile is enough for me to get by in my lowest points in life.
Love yah Pappy!

Recently, my Dad did something which reminded me of how I was in school.
Last week, I was still ill and I had to report for work because of an event that I am not allowed to miss. He offered to go with me that day just in case I was too weak to go on my own. It was like grade school all over again when he used to accompany me to school when I'm sick hehehe...
While waiting for the event to start, I felt a lil light-headed that I had to lie down, he propped my head on his lap and he let me sleep for a bit...

While waiting for the event to start, I felt a lil light-headed that I had to lie down, he propped my head on his lap and he let me sleep for a bit...
That's what I usually do, I'd rest my head on his lap if I'm sick coz that would make me feel better especially when he lightly taps on my shoulder, the soothing "pik-pik" -- his trademark hehehe...
Unfortunately, I had to go home in the middle of the event because my fever escalated and I needed complete bed rest. Good thing my dad was around when I needed all the comfort during that day
Thanks so much, Dad

I came home from a long and grueling OT from work and missed dinner for the nth time.. It's always my habit since day one to kiss my Dad as soon as I arrive home from school/work. Last night was rather different... I awoke him and realized how much I miss my Dad. Since I got my a$$ back to work from a long sick leave, I've been missing a whole week plus of dinnertime with him because of OT work. I felt guilty that I had to stay in his room for a bit and talked about my day at work and my trip tomorrow. I haven't left yet but I already feel this ache of being away from him. Cheesy as it may sound but I'm just not used to being away for so long. I even kid around that he's prolly thrilled coz he can go out on dates without my supervision lols...
Funny thing he told me last night, "Langga, what junk food do you want me to buy for your trip? I'll buy them tomorrow." That made me smile and laugh thinking about it and replied, "Pappy ui, dili ni fieldtrip ha? Anyway, everything is for free so I don't need to buy anything. Besides, dili nako grade school Pappy hehehe" Then I squeezed his cheeks...
Hahayss... Dads are simply the best

At the bewitching hour, I greeted my Dad a happy bee day in his room and he was actually wide awake.. assuming jud
ako Pappy dah lols.. then I asked how old he was, I cut him off,
"Pappy is already 67.... but looking dashing 47 ahhhhh... ayeee"
pirte katawa sa ako Pappy saying, "Amaw jud ka langga..."
... I was thinking.. if only guys would be like my Dad noh? things would have been simple and comfy... but naaah my Dad is a tough act to follow... *beaming with pride*
