The Gift

Hello friends from the sea and to the rest of this world! J

After such a long day, I feel so relaxed tonight (although I have a slight headache)! I don’t know if it was because of the shower I took, being back at home or because I am looking at some photos that I have compiled in my computer.

It’s such a nice feeling to look at those pictures and remember what was happening during that time.

I would like to thank and congratulate my high school friend Gerald for having such a beautiful daughter and inviting us (Joyner and Khym <-nice to meet you) to their celebration of her baptismal today. The food at the reception was great, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able t savour and make myself full of such indulgence because I was really feeling feverish and my nose and tongue were against me that time.

And speaking of kids, I was inspired to write a letter by my friends Dan (Gem) and Gerald’s “supling”, and rocktard J.

Dear FUTURE Baby Son and or Baby Daughter,

You are so effin cute!

You’re only 1 month old, but I am already dreaming of what you would be when you grow up. J

I remembered the day you were born, I was really so excited and a bit scared. Not because I  fear that something bad would happen, but because you are my first baby and I don’t know what to do.

I love how small your are! I feel like I could take you anywhere in my pocket or be like my key chain. Just kidding. But I really feel happy whenever you grab my finger with your little hand, but I am a bit worried because this means that there is someone who is now dependent on me.

And I am still mesmerized on how someone as cute as you was created by me and your mom. Me and your mom were just playing around with the usual stuff, and then 9 months later, POOF!, there you are! I’m sure someday you’ll understand...and do...but the doing part should be reserved after you have a stable job, your married and with the opposite sex. Don’t be stupid.

I feel like in heaven when I see you getting your milk from your mom! I said to myself “Two of my precious jewels! My baby and your mom’s boobs!” This makes me want to drink milk also!

When you grow up, how would you rate me as a father? Was I good enough? I couldn’t promise you anything but I will do everything to be responsible to you, show you the love you need as you grow up and be there when you need me. I would try not to give you everything so not to spoil you, but trust me, I have been a kid too and you wouldn't be disappointed.

Lastly, some advices that I know that would be beneficial for you:

-don’t lie to your parents, especially to me...if you know what is good for you and you still want to grow and experience adulthood

-choose your friends wisely. As a kid, they would become close as a brother and an ally in times of needs or exams.

-don’t go on killing yourself because you are broken hearted. I know it is hard and you feel like the world is collapsing on you, but don’t worry, me and your mom have already experienced being love and hurt many times and look us now, we are not dead. Let that sorrow be a memory to tell to your children. Someday when you think about this “love life” you had, it would just be funny to you on how stupid you were.

-when you love someone, love her or him true. Don’t worry about being hurt because it would be his or her lost. Remember this line from Julius Caesar (?) “It is better to love and lost than never to have loved at all.”

-don’t do drugs. When the cops catch you, you will be inside a cold cell. When I catch you, you will be 6 feet under the ground.

-and when you have your kid of your own, don’t forget to pass on the principles, morals and the love that your parents have shown you.

I guess that would be all for now my darling. As you quietly sleep tonight and dreaming, we will be here for a moment to admire someone precious to us. I love you.

Please Don’t Forget To Be Happy!
