........for whisking me into your crazy unchoreographed dances
.......for singing your funny songs,..... never fails to make me giggle
.......for being so patient in teaching me how to drive our car;
-though i tried to careen it towards the other cars,
-for conceding that i'm hopeless in driving, and you have decided to just take me to wherever i wanted to go
........for our afternoon bike rides
........for your History and Geography books littered all over the house
-i love them!
- reading them sparked my early love to see the world
- bet i learned where Mesopotamia was long before i could tell where Czechoslovakia or Malta is
.......for being the best basketball player i ever knew
- for explaining the game to me
- for our Friday and Sunday evening Basketball watching time
...... for waiting for me in the cold, dark corridor, until i finish working
...... for going shopping with me
- and never complaining about how i hop from from shop to another
-and when i couldn't find what i wanted , i drag you to another shopping mall
...... for trying your best to cook breakfast,
- cause you know i'd be hungry coming home from workin all night,
- though i know you don't know how to cook ;-)
....for letting me sleep as much as i can,
- because you think i need all the sleep i can have,
- eventhough when i realized i've overslept and now running late for school, i blame you for not waking me up
- you still think i need the sleep more anyway
.....for lazy days when i could eat whenever i want to,
- no waking up for the usual structured or scheduled 7am: Breakfast....12 noon: Lunch..
- cause you knew that i would just eat whenever i feel hungry
..... for waking me up one Saturday morning,
- and dragging a very grumpy me out of my bed, whingeing on why you have to wake me up on a SCHOOL- FREE SATURDAY!?!?
- lead me outside the house to the car, opened the trunk ,and presented me with the two most gorgeous puppies i've ever had,
-and just smiled while looking at my grumpiness melting away while i held the puppies in my arms
...... for the times i've asked you to make my rebuttal speech for a Debate i'm participating in school,
-and you just told me to make my own speech and you'll correct or amend it after,
-and when i finished writing it and reading it out loud to you,
-you just say its perfect! and nothin needs changing ( that's how much you believed in my capabilities)
......for the times when we were watching television,
- and out of the blue you would asked me a current event question, like Who is the president of Indonesia? or What is the currency of China?
- and though at times i find it annoying then, specially when i'm concentrating on watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.....i do miss those Q & A times now
........for the fact that i've never missed all the Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Star Trek, Superman, Karate Kid sequels....because you always take me to watch them with you
....for playing your old albums/ records of Elvis, The Platters, Henry Mancini etc., on lazy weekends
...... for not scolding me,
- but instead understanding me, the first time i came home drunk,
- because you knew i was hurting from a case of first time broken heart :-)
......for being silent when i just need silence but still being ever present in all my low moments
...... for being such a passionate lover of nature,
- remember when you didn't speak to me out of anger when i stupidly cut one of your plants thinking it was just a plain weed
.............i could carry on with this list, but alas! i can't. 'Cause it would take more than this lifetime to let you know how much you are loved, how thankful i am for your presence in my life and how eternally grateful i am of your unending, ever unconditional love that can be felt and be seen beyond blindness and beyond eternity.
To my ever dearest father....papa.......iloveyouverymuch! |
