An Anniversary greetings to my parents and the birthday greetings to my Father

My parents wedding anniv is on june 28th and my fathers bday is on the 29th. My parents were married in 1939 so they have been together for 43 years now..

Happy 43rd wedding anniversary to our parents Nestor and Aida... It's amazing how you stayed together thru thick & thin. I guess it's about mutual love and respect, it's about how you compliment each other, While Tatay is strong willed and stubborn, Mother is cool headed without being overly compliant and not sweating the small stuff! Its so great They both have the sense of humor... They still argue about the mundane stuff, about the game of scrabble or who's tv show they have to watch but I know they can't be without each other...so if this is not love! I don't know what is! Congrats you guys! I miss you both...


Dear Tatay,

You worked as an Ofw when I was little so you can give me this doll and all the toys for my bros we were kids. I was crying every time I got teased that my Tatay was "nal undo sa sabaw" when you were far away! Alas, you are unable to finish the two year contract you have to go home after a year so you could be with your family. My best childhood memories are the one I had with you how you brought me to Manila evertytime, how I spent my days playing with the other kids in your office and our lunches and dinners afer work. The time I was making my projects on my HS days, how you took good are of me when i was sick, how you have been with me while I was doing my thesis writing - you stayed late w me in the office so I could graduate in UP. How you cooked for us always, for allowing me to be far usually spending summers in Diliman even if I knew how worried you and mom are. And for in stilling in me hard work so that I could get the stuff I wanted but at the same time occasionally giving in to my caprices. How affectionate you are but also a disciplinarian . How you taught me respect for others and service to your country. How we learned fom giving us experience in independence, how you say thing mater of factly and not sugar coat how you love books and reading. I was exposed to all these cool authors because of your collection.Thank you. I will forever be a Tatay's girl.

It's when you meet people your age - the grade school or high school batch mate that you would realize your real age...Because most of them are married, some aren't anymore and most have kids. It's when these well meaning people worry about the state of your affairs - like when you would settle down and have kids yourself.. These friends talk about the real life - like buying houses, having a biz, sending kids to school - the works!..But I'm saying this in a good way. And since I am single I have less responsibility - in fact I don't have to worry about a lot of stuff but then i would assure myself, just because I am single doesn't make me less responsible because I felt responsible for myself and my parents my dog..I pay most of the bill and my being single is not for lack of trying, or lack of opportunity. There's just some factors that did not lead to that end or perhaps not yet.. Maybe, I'll settle down, become a single parent or there's also the option of preserving the egg for future use... That's the beauty of technology because women like us are given more options....For now, I won't feel guilty if I still listen to these pop and techno music, if I still wear the latest trend like my growing collection of wedge sneakers- for liking Rihanna, Rita Ora and Leighton Meester or watching Gossip Girl.I still go out and have younger set of friends from work and because I don't feel old doesn't make me less responsible... What can I do if I'm "cool"... I will get there God willing and I will be the coolest Lola if ever! Kidding...
