The First Three Men in my Life

-
I'm single and I think I'm slowly getting settled into the idea of being single for a long time moving forward. 

But I have loved a few men in my life and there are three that I will always cherish and will always be my firsts-- my father, my oldest brother and my lolo on my mom's side. 

I guess for most girls, their first love will always be the dad. Mine isn't a different story. As a first-born girl in the family, I feel that I had gained almost and always my father's attention. He had always been my go-to person when I am a bit confused. The first person I would always think of when I achieve something and the first man who gets his heart broken when I did something disappointing. He had given me that kind of love that no matter how much I had been lost and failed, he has always been there to look after me. Scold me. Remind me. Preach on me. Dust me off, then push me to get my life back. So many times. 

My oldest brother and I grew up like cats and dogs. We never seem to have gotten each other's approval in many things. Yet, we are proud of each other. He is tall, good-looking, always clean-shaven, soft-spoken and every now and then, sweet. He is generous at times, too. I love him, nonetheless. I am thankful and grateful I have him as my kuya. 

Lolo Eutiqs will always be the most handsome drunkard I have everseen. I have loved him in all his drunken state. He was a hard-working carpenter and farmer, a great singer and loving grandfather. I had seen how much he loves my grandmother and how selfless he is to the people around him. I can talk endless about his antics when drunk and how he tries to remind me about studying hard and just always be doing my best in everything. I miss him so much. I bet, he isn't allowed to drink beer in heaven now. 

They are all December bday celebrators and I am nowhere near any of them to give them a hug or a kiss to wish them a happy birthday. 

I am thankful for having these men in my life. 

These three men are my first love. They have set that very high bar of standard when it comes to how a good man should be and will always be in my view. 

Happy Birthday to these first three men in my life. 
Always be my love and firsts.

The Man Behind the Metaphors

The skies had been dark like a storm is coming. It had been raining the whole night long and when I woke up that day, I had fears that Sir Jonathan can’t come to school anymore due to the heavy downpour. I opted not to ask for I may just get the dreaded response. I prepared for school. Ate breakfast, brought my laptop since I thought I may just have to stop by a coffee shop after school and finish the item analysis I am doing. It was very difficult to get a ride. I wish I can afford to buy a car and save myself and my stuff from getting wet and so that I can bring more things to school for experiments and so that I can to all the places I wanna go to and I don’t have to worry about over-packing stuff and I have thought about all of these just because its raining heavily and I have no school bus anymore L When I arrived, the school seem deserted. No kids nor parents were at the gate. The guard told me that the principal decided to suspend the class lest the heavy rains cou...

11 Things I Will Miss

Malapit na malapit na! Magpapaalam na ko sa pagkabampira. Ang pinakaunang kong career ay nagsimula sa BPO hanggang sa napadpad na ko sa mga “captive sites” companies, at hindi ko ipagkakaila ang malaking pasasalamat ko sa   pagkakataong naibigay sakin sa loob nang mahigit anim na taon. Marami akong natutunan, maraming nais kalimutan at syempre mas marami yung nais kong manatili lalo na yung pagkakaibigan at mga aral sa buhay na nabuo habang ako'y nasa trabaho at nakikisalamuha. Dahil ako ay magbabagong-buhay, nag-isip ako ng mga bagay na talaga namang mamimiss ko pag umalis ako sa pagka nocturnal being. 1. Airconditioned Office - Ang init ngayon! Obvious naman, ang mga callcenters/corporate centers ay may aircons, may alam ba kayong hindi? Ipagbigay alam sa kinauukulan.  2. Ergonomic Chair - na most of the time ay ergonomic bed na din. Natuto akong matulog nang nakaupo.--those split-second moments of opportunity para makadaupang-palad si Sleep.  3....

Just a few days ago, I posted   This Is Plagiarism   together with other write ups. And I never thought I would have this kind of Reply from   Mr. Tripster   J   who called himself   The Epaloid Lover na Feeling Ako Yung Sinulatan Here’s the entire comment: Mr. Tripster 14 March 2013 08:39 This is epalness.... Hi! I'm fine. It's really great to hear from you. I'm not trapped in the future, I do not dwell in the past. I'm simply in your dreams. You have difficulty finding me because you sometimes look in the wrong places and in the wrong moments of the day. Therefore, I cannot manifest in your world. My present is a blur and yet it's blissful. But everything will be clear if we both make a decisive choice and a giant leap of faith in our lives. How soon? I really don't know. We don't ask silly questions. It's just that sometimes we need wisdom. I'd like to be there now. But I'm no master of my time. I'm n...
