13 to-do Items for my Future Children

I don’t know how old I already am or if I am still alive by the time you read this, I just want you to know that your Dad (yes I want you to call me Dad) spent some time thinking about you even before getting married, that’s how much I love you.

So here’s your to-do list and this is mandatory.

1. Pray and read the Bible everyday.
2. Share the Gospel of God.
3. Love your Mom and make her happy always.
4. Be righteous. Be right with God, not right with the world.
5. Make lots of good friends. GOOD friends.
6. Love your cousins, keep a tight family bond.
7. Love Philippines just as I loved it and always try to make it a better place.
8. Study/Work hard as if it’s your last chance to do it.
9. Spend time to practice playing your musical instrument.
   (I don’t know what particular instrument yet, but you’ll be playing one for sure)
10. Love your Mom and make her happy always.
11. Always smile and always try to make other people smile as well.
12. Read lots of books! Hopefully, by the time you’re reading this, I’ve already published my book. Read that.
13. Love your Mom and make her happy always.

Remember, my future children, though some of the things listed here might turn out to be hard for you, just promise me that you love your MOM and make her happy always, like I did.

Short blog entry (Day 18)

Wala na sigurong mas sasaya pa sa pagkakaroon ng taong makakasama mo habang-buhay. Yung alam mo na kahit pa gaano kapangit ang itsura mo, kahit na lumaki pa ng todo ang eyebags mo at magmukha ka ng matanda dahil sa dami ng problemang dala dala mo, may taong laging nasa tabi mo - taong mamahalin ka ng buong puso at makakaramay mo sa mga mabibigat na hamon ng buhay na pinupukol sayo.

Maswerte ako at binigyan ako ng pagkakataon na makilala ang isang natatanging tao na magbibigay ng lubos na kasiyahan sa aking buhay. Hindi ako naghahanap ngunit siya ay dumating. Hindi na ko umaasa ngunit siya ay sadyang binigay sa akin. Wala na akong mahihiling pa. Kumpleto na ang buhay ko ng dahil sa kanya.
