For Allison Lenneth - On her 5th Birthday

"brighter than a shooting star, shine no matter where you are"

To our dearest Allison, 

Okay, so just like that, the day is finally here...You are now 5 years old!

I know, it is not 7, nor 16, or even 21.

For Allison Lenneth - On her 4th Birthday

"You owned the year like the Fourth of July"

To our dearest Allison, 

Okay, so it is really that fast and now we are already at four? I did not expect that, honestly. I kinda feel that it was just yesterday when I wrote a post on your 3rd Birthday.

In fact, I cannot believe that we are already at four - it just sounds so fast. You are really speeding up there, Allison and how I wish I can slow you down a little bit, kinda like shifting you to first gear as you are already kicking it in fourth gear, if you know what I mean.

Nevertheless, to sum up this past year, I can really say that you really had a great one!

Feliz cumpleaños Mamá - A Birthday post for my mother

"My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her" 

- George Washington

Hey Ma! Today is your special day and I am a bit embarrassed to say that I couldn't get you a card or something in the mail on time.

I am really stewing about it really and then I realized that I have the perfect avenue (this blog of mine, of course) to wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I hope a blog post can make up for my blunder, LoL!

Its a Holiday and Its Your Birthday - Happy Birthday Dear Wife

It is June 12 once again and as we all know, this day is a special day as we commemorate the day of independence of our homeland, the Philippines, so Hurray! Happy Independence Day! Cheers for our ongoing 117 years of freedom! Let us have a good one!

Now for yours truly, June 12 is a "Double Special" day not only because it is Independence Day, but it is also the birthday of my other half, my wife, and (as I would like to call her) my "Independence Girl."

As she close out another year in the book of life (and with that, opening a new one too), I just cannot let this day go by without dedicating a blog post for her on her very special day. I am really not a cheesy person, but as they say, Love can change things a lot, so bear with me here peeps, here it goes:

My Wife - Still looking not a year older than 20, Eh?!

For Allison Lenneth - On her 3rd Birthday

If you browse around the internet, most blog posts about greetings for a kid's birthday are written by Mothers. So, for a change, here is one written by a father, LoL!

"Don't blink! They'll be grown before you know it."

To my everdearest Allison Lenneth,

Before you were born, I always remember when people around me say that time flies by. Now that I am a dad, I experienced first-hand how that was true.

Before, I look at people like they are stupid when they tell me, "Don't blink! They'll be grown before you know it." However, come to think of it, those silly people (as I thought them to be) are right.

Papa’s Two-Trick Pony Day (Birthday and Father’s Day in One)

“Dahil sabay ang Birthday mo at Father’s Day, Ultimate Dad ka, Paps!”

Last time, my post was about my wife’s birthday coinciding with Independence Day. Now, here is another special person having a birthday coinciding with another special occasion.

"M" is for Mondi

Meet my father, Ramon. Just like me, he has a lot of nicknames, (Sir Chief, Baby, Mondi, Mon, and my personal favorite, Mon-Ra) but I always prefer to call him Paps, a wordplay of Papa, but without losing the respect to him. The thing is, today is his Birthday and coincidentally, it is also Father’s Day, nice combo huh?!

Since it is two occasions in one, I cannot just let this day pass without writing a little bit about my “Paps” and what he means to me and to our family.

My Independence Girl (A Birthday Post for my Companion for Life)

“Having you is Independence, because you are my Independence Girl”

It is a couple of days since June 12, a very special day for the country because it is the day when we, Filipinos, celebrate our beloved homeland’s independence, so special that everybody celebrates it and the day, in fact, is a holiday.

For this blogger (yours truly), June 12 for me is special not only because of the above-mentioned reason. This day also happens to be the Birthday of a very special girl in my life; a girl that completes me - my other half, my wife, Antonette.

My Daughter and My Wife - I consider myself Lucky!

Since it is her Birthday, I want to write a little bit about what she means to me and of course, our family.

"XXXI" - Time runs and so must I (My 31st Birthday Post)

They say that time flies, but for me, it RUNS...like a "Clever Boy", it Runs!

It's kinda funny that just when I am fully embracing the realization that I am friggin' 30 years old (That is typically me, it always take me almost a year after my birthday when I finally accept na tumanda na ako), then BOOM! Whad'Ya Know? Eto at 31 years old na pala ako!
