Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there!

Lalaines last blog post..Pet Purse

I think one of the few things I am actually good at is academics, and my family, especially my dad, have always been really supportive, now that I am an Intarmed student. When I graduated from high school and received the varied medals on stage, I put the medals on to him as a sign of gratitude, and then I saw the joy and pride, coupled with tears, in his eyes. And for this year’s Father’s day, I am planning on giving him the plaque I earned for the excellent performance in med school. Oh well.
Happy Father’s Day, DAD!
To your great life and good health
and the long walks and stories, CHEERS!

My dad is a diabetic, but he loves sweets. Whenever I would stumble upon sugar-free candies and treats at the grocery store I always make it a point to get him some. He can’t really go out much since he is undergoing therapy. He has had several mild strokes and he can’t walk as well as he used to.

This father’s day I plan to treat him to a nice Chinese meal at Gloriamaris, and surprise him with a sugar-free cake. To be honest I’m sick of Chinese food because it’s always what we have during parties but I figured it’s a small compromise considering I can make that day special for dad.

Happy Fathers Day daddio!

My dad is the silent type. He’s a deep person and you seldom see him smiling. He’s been out of work since 2000 and from then on, he prefers sitting in one corner and watching people outside the house do their daily errands.He’s also a picky eater but he doesn’t show it. The sweetest gesture i gave my dad was when i surprised him one day when i cooked chicken nilaga, one of his favorite dishes.I caught a big smile forming on his face when he popped up in the kitchen and smelled the aroma of the dish being cooked.I knew then that he was touched by my act because he knew i took time off my busy schedule to please his stomach.

Happy Father’s Day, Daddy! You never know how much my siblings and I admire and love you. I know you did everything to give us a better life. We appreciate it and hope we can return the favor soon.

My papa is frugal. Maybe because he grew up without nothing and until now he’s working so hard to give my mom and sister a good life.

The best thing that I can give him this Father’s Day is a box of Krispy Kreme because in his 51 years of existence, he hasn’t even tried eating a sinfully delicious doughnut such as Krispy Kreme. He thinks it’s too expensive for his frugal lifestyle.

I don’t really come from a sentimental family but I’d say the sweetest (well I wouldn’t really refer to it as sweet but this contest is all about sweetness) gift I ever gave my dad was a Samsung scanner-printer-copier for his office.

My dad’s the type who would never think of buying any of these new-fangled gadgets. What’s more, he always discourages us from giving him gifts. I’d see him walk to this shop all the way across the other street just to do all his photocopying. I thought what the heck, I’d just get him the Samsung. It was on the pricey side but my dad now saves money on zerox plus he doesn’t have to walk so far. He’s not as young as he used to be and so I try my best to make things more convenient for him whenever I can. I’d say it’s really one of the most worthwhile things I’ve ever bought.

Happy Fathers Day Pa, you’re the best!

Peters last blog post..You’re the Best Pinoy Athlete for me

My dad only goes home on weekends since he was assigned in a branch outside our hometown. It was sad since I only come home on semestral breaks and long vacations so I don’t have the luxury of time to bond with him. A day before I needed to leave our home since classes were about to begin, I prepared something for him. My dad was fun of eating pizzas so I decided to make some for us to munch and enjoy. It was fun to do on my own since it was my first time and I was able to choose dad’s favorite toppings and mine as well to put on it. After everything was prepared, I called him out and had a fun snack time with him. It reminds me of how amazing a dad can be most especially once you get to sit down with him and enjoy an afternoon conversation – something which is worth the time. I was also able to see how he enjoyed my specialty.;)

Daddy, thank you for being so understanding and patient. You know, not any man can be a dad, it takes someone special to be one. Thank you very much for being that special! Happy Father’s Day and I Love You!:)

My papa loves his grandchildren (these would be my children as of now) very much. He is a quiet person but is very lively around my children. Whenever the children stay for a few days or a few weeks in our family home, he is always very happy.

We love you papa, and we miss you!

I was going to be away for Father’s Day since I needed to leave our hometown. I know it was going to be really unusual. I was used to celebrating that special day with my dad beside me. I wanted it to make him feel that I’m still there so I decided to write him a card to let him know I still remember. At first, it felt really awkward. I was not used to write him sweet and thoughtful messages that a teenage daughter would want her dad to know on Father’s Day. But I know that he would appreciate it a lot so I made up my mind and came up with a Father’s Day card. I wrote all what I really wanted to say to him as a father that I cannot personally express. Before I left, I placed it in his drawer and let him feel that I can never forget him on Father’s Day even though I am away.

Happy Father’s Day Daddy! You know, not any man can be a dad, it take someone extra special to be one! I love you Daddy!:) Mwah!

My papa and I didn’t really have a very good relationship as I was growing up despite the fact that I was a daddy’s girl for the first 4 to 5 years of my life. Circumstances led us apart and his desire to try to set out a better life for us in the US led to unfortunate events instead. However, in the past few years our relationship has gotten stronger and better. If I look back at the most touching gesture I gave my papa is giving him the gift of me by fulfilling his life-long dream to have me live with him in the US. I was about 13 then. On our first fathers day together, I prepared his coffee and got the paper for him, which believe me was no easy task because he wakes up before 5am EVERYDAY, and I’m the exact opposite…late to rise! After breakfast, I invited him out to the video store and let him choose a movie for us to watch together that evening.

Happy Fathers Day, Papa. It’s been so long since we’ve last really been together, as you are still there and I’m back here in Manila, but I hope you do know that despite of everything, I love you more than you’ll ever know.

Rias last blog post..Kids and Big Bags.

i really don’t know if you could consider this a sweet gesture but once, my dad had a car trouble and i helped him fix the car. it is really not a common thing to see a girl fixing a car with her dad. but i think it made our bonding stronger.
happy father’s day dad! i love you!

marians last blog post..TRINOMA

Eduardo P., my father, my brother, my boyfriend. I call you a man of may personalities. You’re such a wonderful person. Very understanding and considerate father.

I missed everything about you when you said goodbye last Mother’s Day (10th of May, 2009). Now it’s your day… also your 40th day… I know that your happy…

Thank you Papa.

The best thing I ever “gave” my dad was a beautiful granddaughter. My daughter calls him “Dada”, the same name I used to call him when I was a child. Seems like they’re set for life as it is obvious that they enjoy each very much!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DAD! First a dad and now a lolo Happy Father’s day!

When I hear of a word “father”, it always flashes in my mind the wonderful features of my father’s face, his pointed nose and great eyes. I seldom say i love you, though I put it in action..I hope he feels it always. You see my father is quite a perfectionist and disciplinarian, thus making it hard for him to show how he feel, as a result we find it hard to show our feelings to. But I know he is much deeper than that, he gave us what we need without even asking for it yet. He is such a good provider. A loving father in a silent way.

Writing this comments is my privilege to say to you “MY TATAY THAT I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH”, I always keep in my mind the text you sent me.. a single simple line.. “thank you anak, i love you”. You may not say it to me personally but that is enough. It made me cry receiving such text. I promise to love you and take care of you and nanay as long as I live.

Happy Father’s Day Tatay. I love you and truly God bless me for having such a father like you.

jocelyn robosas last blog post..Life’s fantasy.. a happy ending

I named my daughter Daniella in loving memories of my Dad (Danilo). I’m sure he would shed tears of joy had he been around.

By just living your life, you showed us the path of rightful living. I have always admired you and respected you for being the most upright person I have known in my life. You made an impact on the way I look at things and how I react to situations. I am grateful to you for what I am now because you believed in me.

Happy Father’s Day, Papa!

The greatest gift I have given my dad was when I graduated my elementary and high school with honors because that is what he wanted me to be, to give him the happiness I gain through my fulfillment when I was studying . It’s so sad that after high school , he past away and join our Creator. But the love and caring he gives us still treasured in our heart.

It’s been 16 years & until now I still remember the memories he left us. He made us the way he wanted us to be. I know he is now happy with our Creator & he is still looking us from up above.

Dad we love you so much… I can feel that you’re happy “there”.

Being a guy, it’s very hard to express how much I love my dad. It was only when he was admitted in the hospital for a stroke did I show how much I loved him. I was the one who stayed and took care of him even if it meant missing out a lot on school work, I was a college student then. Though he did not say a word, I could see in his eyes how much he appreciated the sacrifice I made. Happy father’s day Pa! Love You!

boy kuripots last blog post..BreadTalk Photo Contest

me and my dad are so close to each other and the sweetest thing I’ve done to my dad, was I treated him in a 1 week vacation here in Philippines. Since he is so much engaged with his work. I gave him a 1 week rest from his work for him to enjoy his life that being apart from his daily endeavor… he was so amazed and had so much fun during that vacation we made, atleast he had enjoyed even for just a week.

Daddy, though you’re far from home and working hard for our family. I will always do my part on helping Mommy in household chores and always do my best in my studies. I will give you medals each year…

That’s what you always wanted from me. I’ll never let you down…

I Love You So Much

We usually don’t celebrate Mother’s day and Father’s day because we believe everyday should be their day, but last year I decided to celebrate Father’s day in a extravagant manner. Together with my siblings we brought him and our whole clan to Laguna and rented a private pool complete with videoke and rooms to celebrate Father’s day. The day was pretty amazing especially to my dad and I know deep inside it is one of the most happiest day of his life.

When I was a kid, my tatay and I used to dream together. As we were about to sleep, he would often tell me stories about his foreigner friends (by the way, he was a taxi driver in NAIA). He always makes me amazed of little different languages he learned from them. And he’d tell me a lot of his childhood experiences! We dream of having a farm one day. He said we will raise chickens and hogs. He said he’ll teach me to plant vegetables. I love it when it’s stormy cause that’s when we will have time to sip coffee together beside our window pane. He would also show his version of dogs, rabbit and dinosaurs using his hand’s shadow when it’s brownout. Those were the days…our bonding moments.

Now that I am already a college, I may no longer get amazed with his stories. We may not have enough time to bond and enjoy more things together. I may be too busy now. But I will never ever forget how grateful I am to have a father like him. Tatay. My one and only tatay, Rodolfo Lacaba. With him, I always have a reason to come home. Seeing him in good condition and healthy being is all I ever wanted.

Not only because it’s father’s day. No need for seasons and special days. Because everyday would always be a special day for us. And as long as we’re alive, or even life after death, or even on my next life, hindi ko ipagpapalit ang tatay ko…sya pa rin.

I may not have any special presents for him, but I guess masaya na siya kung ako ang maglalagay ng efficasent oil sa balikat nya…

Love u tay!!! -oday

I wrote him a poem which expressed how much I love him and care for him although I don’t always say it, my love for him is always there.

I wrote him a poem that expressed how much I love and care for him even if I don’t always use the words to say it.

I broke Daddy’s heart when I got pregnant 6 years ago. I never saw him cry. But I knew he was badly hurt. I promised myself then that I would make it up to him. And so I did. I gave him 2 pretty apo. and now he’s crazy over my 2 beautiful daughters. He said they always melt his heart every time my kids would call him “LOLO”. I may not be a perfect daughter, Daddy. But I am so happy and proud on how you raised us, your kids. Thanks for all those time that you prepared my breakfast and mainit na tubig for my paligo. Happy Father’s Day.. Luv you, George!!!

My dad is known for his tenacity and hardwork. He was merely a little boy when his own father was taken from him because of an uneventful accident. Ever since then, he has faced challenges placed before him head-on. From his humble beginnings in the province, he ventured off to the city to find a better life. He was always the achiever, from being salutatorian in his high school days, to being a talented sales rep in Makati. Now, he is rightfully enjoying the fruits of all his hardwork, and he would always show us, his four daughters, how these two characteristics were of greatest importance.

Last October 2008, he received the greatest news that he was being promoted as Country Manager of the company of which he has been with for almost 21 years. He humbly let us know of this by just forwarding the announcement letter to my email. With this, me, my sisters, and mom thought: “how do we make him feel special about this?” We instantly agreed to make-do with whatever we had that night. When he came home, we turned off all the lights and our house, and when he came in our living room, we all jumped on him and greeted him with shouts of congratulations, hand-drawn posters saying “Congratulations Papa! We love you!” It was a simple, yet heartfelt gesture we made for the first and most precious man in our lives

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY PAPA! you will forever be the first man in our lives! :) WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

i helped Daddy washed our car and i always give him his slippers every time he arrives from his work. Then me and my baby sister will give him big sloppy kisses and a great big hug. Last Wednesday I made him a cheese sandwich and brought it to his work. Daddy was so happy. I love daddy so much. I will treat him to a movie next month. We will watch Ice Age 3 and Hannah Montana, just the 2 of us. But I still have to ask money from Mommy because my savings is not yet enough. I love you Daddy, Happy Father’s Day.

Ever since I moved out of our house to start my own family 4 years ago, I never let a day go by without telling him I love him. Either by phone call or thru text messages. He is a very hands on father, living without him made it hard for me. I visit him every weekends and I am always at his side during special occasions.

I bought my dad a brand new cell phone. It was my birthday gift to him last June 14, 2009. Cell phone is very important to him, specially when he is working. I love him so much.

My tatay loved to walk. He walks to the market, to the barbershop and around the neighborhood. I remember he used to wear these really hideous and filthy pair of canvass slip ons everytime he goes on these walks. Which is why one time when I was in an adidas factory outlet, I thought to buy him the softest sneakers I found for him. I figured he could really use it and wore it out as much as he could, its a good brand after all. He loved it and I still see it under his bed every time I visit my parents house. My dad passed away a month ago. I love you tatay. Happy Father’s day.

ApplesHs last blog post..Chicago Popcorn Shops

If there is one thing that makes my 63-year-old father happy, that is going to several DVD shops almost everyday to scout for movies of his age either to buy one or have them reserved.

One time, before my father left the house to do his usual routine, I secretly put extra money on his wallet. When he arrived home, he was so ecstatic not only because he got to find some great DVDs but also, he was able to buy more that his own budget could afford. He asked who among us, his children, put the extra money on his wallet of which I only acted as if clueless. But my heart was smiling gladly because I know in my own little way, I was able to make my father happy. My heart was also laughing at the same time because the day ended without him knowing who the angel was. *ehem*

It doesn’t have to be Father’s day for us to show our appreciation to our dads. It doesn’t also have to be carried out in the grandest manner though it would also be great. Everyday could be Father’s day =)

About 3 years ago, I gave him a watch wherein there’s a picture of us. With the help of my grandma, I was able to buy and personalized the item. Until this very moment the watch is still working and he’s still wearing it from time to time.

Papa deals with us girls as if he was just like a brother. He taught us how to deal with with the world where males dominate. secrets revealed! ahaha Happy Father’s day!

Almost every year on Father’s Day, my sister and I would think of something to do for our dad. This year I decided to service my dad. For example, bringing his drinks, getting the things he needs, bringing him snacks, and more.

I greeted my papa on the wrong date (last June 14). I wasn’t so aware that Father’s day is on the third week. Hehe. But then, it’s ok. It’s the thought that really matters after all, not the date. What’s important is that I was able to tell him how grateful I am to have him!

I just got home last week just perfect to celebrate with him on one of the most important days. I gave him a 1 week out of country trip… He was so excited.. Enjoy

Mahal Kita Tatay

Being always there for my dad. But now he’s gone, I’m always including him in my prayers. You’re the best dad. Thanks!

My dad’s gone, so I’m always including him in my prayers. You’re the best dad. Thanks!

Father’s Day is a day that really makes me feel sad. It’s because my father’s not by my side. Eversince I’ve gotten to know the true meaning of this day, I’ve always wished that he’s with me so we can talk and laugh just like any ordinary father and daughter. I really love to be with my father. I know it’s not yet the end for us but i’m hoping and praying that God lead us together in each other’s path and be happy again.
I love you Papa!

My gift to my dad is the Video of my Baby on her first smile and shout on Youtube and lots of Pictures posted on Flickr. He is working abroad right now and seeing the pictures and video of her first granddaughter makes him Happy this fathers day. Same effect to me as well.. Papa, Happy Fathers Day!… =)

“Psssssst…”
“Pa!”

Father wouldn’t call us by name. He need not to, a whistle would do. The world seemed to come to a halt every time we heard him whistling—distinctive, authoritative, threatening. We would leave behind whatever we were up to pronto, dash straight to the house, and put on a brave front to face punishment personified. There was nothing more humiliating than to be taunted as crybabies by friends next moro-moro or baril-barilan sessions.

“Pa, we will not do it again,” my younger brother and I would lunge out our never-to-do-it-again dialogue to father. “He did it first,” accused my brother.

“No, Pa, he did first,” I would rebut amidst tears brewing to fall.

Whack. Whack. Whack. All cries had turned to deaf ears. Father’s leather belt slithered on our tender skins.

Everything did change as the years passes by. Now, I am 19 years old. I am still afraid of Father. But it isn’t the kind of fear that awakens me in the middle of the night shaking and sweating. Nor is it the kind of fear that inhibits me from pursuing responsibilities whose ends are undefined. Rather, it is one that begets respect and harbors no bitterness, no matter how complex and harsh the previous life was. All these years I have learned that the life I lead has an effect in the life I now live, and the life I now live will have an effect on the kind of life I will live.

I don’t hear Father whistling these days. I even haven’t had single intimate contact with his belt for years now. I had out lived it. Age has taken its roll on him—cataract blurred his vision, his skins sagged, and arthritis has slowed down his strides. Father is after all not invincible.

In my childhood I often wished for heaven to look down on me, intervene in my behalf, and take pity on my miserable plight. I seldom make wishes these days but a wish stands firm and true—for Father to be young and able to spank me again. Maybe this time tears would roll down to kiss a smiling lip. To the best Papang in the world, I love you so much and Happy Father’s Day.

My dad suffered a stroke last 2007, I made sure I was always at the hospital to take care of him. When his memory temporarily lapses due to the accident, I patiently guided him to remember his name, how old he is and his children’s name until his state of mind has fully recovered.

Now, he may not be fully recovered physically but at least he’s getting there. Since my dad is a widower already, we made sure that he will not feel alone. Whenever I visit him, I prepare his favorite kinilaw na labanos and roasted chicken. So to my dad, who worked hard all his life to be a good provider I want to say “Tay, Happy Father’s Day and I’ll always be here to take care of you”

I’ve never had a memorable experience with my Dad, ‘coz he’s not with us anymore. But it would be my forever wish that one day, we’ll meet up again and just be the best daughter I could be for him. I miss my dad. :’(

My daddy recently passed away…I remember doing all sorts of sweet stuff for him but I guess writing a poem for him (as message during eulogy) and designing his tomb marker (in a way that I thought was “so him”) top my list. Here goes my poem:

Daddy-o

The time has finally come
Our dear Daddy is now gone
His soul was surely filled with glee
That early Friday morning, April 3.

This passing has long been his wish
So his Daddy and Nanay, he could kiss
As they usher him through the gates of heaven
And be happy in their arms again.

Many years ago, he started to prepare us
For the time that he would return to dust,
Made us see his death as a happy day,
That in my prayers, “Take him, Lord”, I sometimes would say

He was tired, I know, and deserved to rest
The days that he lived, I’m sure, were the best.
But it pains me still to see him stiff
I love him and he was a precious gift.

Oh, Daddy, I promise to remember you
As you said we should all do
I will keep your memory alive
I promise to do this for the rest of my life.

Go, Daddy, fly high
Don’t worry about us, don’t sigh
To you I have this one last wish
Sincerely, may you rest in peace.

Happy Father’s Day, Dy!…miss you…

To my dearest papa, i want to Thank you making me laugh even when i was sad! Thank you for being that shining light in my darkest night! Thank You for encouraging me to waive a new dream each morning, Thank you for always being there for me in my sad days and also, the happy once..! Yes, i owe all that to you, You’re my SUPERMAN, BATMAN, and SPIDER MAN. Yes Daddy, You’re my BEST MAN!
Happy Fathers’ Day!xoxo!

My dad had a difficult childhood. His parents separated and being the eldest, he had to take care of his younger siblings. He never finished high school and would tell us stories of how he walked for an hour to reach school during days when he could afford to actually go. He talks of how he hid inside the bus going to Manila because he had no money to pay for the fare and had to go to Divisoria to buy goods for their sari-sari store. He talks of how he envies the other kids because they have new shoes and he doesn’t.

Inspite of all this hardships, this did not stop my dad to perservere and aim for a better and more comfortable life. He made sure that we did not go through his experiences. Education is always a priority and my dad made sure that we were well supported and food always on the table.

This Father’s Day, I would like to say thank you to my dad for giving us the kind of childhood that you never had. I thank you for always being there to nurture and support us. Whatever successes we achieve today, part of it will always be because of you. I hope that I will be as good a parent to my children as you are to me.

Btw, I got my dad a pair of shoes this Father’s Day! =)

When my dad was still alive, he makes sure that whenever he’s in the country, he would spend quality time with us. He is a man of few words but whenever he says something it is really remarkable.

I wasn’t able to elaborate how much he means to us but I never failed to greet him a simple “Happy Father’s Day” even if he’s away.

Now that he’s in heaven already, I’m sure he’s looking after us and constantly guides me especially now that I’m already father too. So “Happy Father’s Day my Doc Daddy”

Daddy, Happy Father’s Day!

Thank You for everything that you have done, are doing, and will do for our family. Even though sometimes, I don’t show it that much, I really appreciate every little thing that you do for us, especially for me. Thank you for always being patient and “matiyaga” in driving for me whenever and wherever I go.

Thank you for always believing in me, in everything that I can do. I hope you don’t get tired of pushing me up to my best. Thank you for all your support, both moral and financial (especially when it comes to my studies).

Sorry for everything I have done that might have hurt you or if there’s something I did you didn’t like. I’m trying my best to be the good daughter that you and Mommy deserve. Just remember that we will always be here for you.

We love you, Daddy!

wow!
We’re not really that “close” with our Pop since we’re kids. Kasi he’s been in and out of the country then. But since he stayed home we’ve known him better now and found out that he’s no different from an ordinary Pop. He could be very moody at times and sometimes super makulit.

I’m glad that we got to know our Pop and be close to him now that we’re old enough to take care of him.

Happy Father’s Day!

To Tatay… you told us once that you are not a perfect father. You also feel sorry sometimes that life could have been a little better if not for your wrong decisions in the past. You even said that if only you have the power, you’ll grant us a father that we truly deserve.

‘Tay… We don’t need perfection, what we long is your affection. Past is past, apologies accepted. You don’t need special power to be the best father. Just cook us your adobo and kaldereta, kalimutan na natin ang problema!

Mahal ka namin, Tatay!

My dad and I may not have the most perfect relationship on the planet but I will always be grateful to him for bringing me into this world. He’s not the best dad neither am I the best daughter, but he’s my dad and I’m his child. Nothing in the world can change that. Happy Fathers Day, dad.

As far as I can remember, the last time I gave my father a letter was about 25 years ago. It was a Valentine card that I made from art paper and bond paper in my Grade 1 Art class. Today, I’m writing him a letter for Father’s Day!

To Tatay… you told us once that you are not a perfect father. You also feel sorry sometimes that life could have been a little better if not for your wrong decisions in the past. You even said that if only you have the power, you’ll grant us a father that we truly deserve.

‘Tay… We don’t need perfection, what we long is your affection. Past is past, apologies accepted. You don’t need special power to be the best father. Just cook us your adobo and kaldereta, kalimutan na natin ang problema!

Mahal ka namin, Tatay!

Last Christmas I treat my dad to a round trip ticket to Hong Kong with my family and I believe that I can’t still pay back all the things my dad did to me. We enjoyed and played like a kid again at Disneyland HK and my dad looks like a teen enjoying the place. It is my most unforgettable day in my life. My dad is close to perfect. He’s the one who molds me to be who I am right now. He’s really the “haligi ng tahanan”.

One may think that my Tatay is strict and a stickler for discipline but he always reminds us that he wants us to learn how to be perceptive, discerning in everything and in the process, develop discipline among ourselves. That way we are able to face the world bravely. He often tells us that nothing comes easy in this world or in this life unless we put God in the center of our lives. He is always there to encourage us and guide us. He has taught us the value of hard work and money. And for that I love him dearly. I would never ask for another Tatay in my life.

i have never been really imaginative nor creative in gift-giving but my 3-year-old daughter seems to have a knack for it. you see, her father died a couple of years ago so she never really knew him. but when she heard about fathers day in sunday school, she decided to paint our family picture. she asked me to buy a balloon and tie the painting to the balloon’s string and we released it outside. she believes the balloon will take her painting to her father in heaven.

when i was about 5 or 6 i always give him butterfly kisses

my dad retired last year from his work, in return to his hardwork we gave him one of the best gift, a trip to hongkong and macau with my mom.

Also we always get him something every payday either gave him allowance for whatever he wants to buy, treat to a dinner or 3 bottles of Red Horse or 1 bottle of brandy with his favorite pulutan papaitan.

This father’s day we plan to treat him to his fav resto in moa and hopefully have a surpirse jollibee adult party on his 67th bday next year.

Luv you dada!!! mwahhh

id alwaysgive him my papers if i get a hundred:)

I have always been proud of my father. I still remember when my english teacher back in 3rd year highschool asked me who my role model is, I told her it was my Papa. He was a good provider and a supportive father. He was there to support me with my sports activities.Now that we are grown up and although he can no longer support our family financially, he still tries to do everything he can to help us.

I love you pa and belated happy father’s day!

My father turned 60 last year. He lives in Davao and we sisters (all 3 of us) are based here in Manila. It has been awhile since we saw him (about 3 years). He has been dropping hints for us to visit him for about the first year that we were away. Eventually, he just stopped (thinking that maybe we were too busy to go home). On his 60th birthday, we surprised him by taking the earliest flight home on his special day and brought him a special “breakfast in bed” made out of his favorite EngBeeTin Ube hopia and placed them on a silver tray, complete with 60 miniature candles and red ribbons. It was the first time we saw him cry. We cried, too.

To our Papa, we love you. Even if we don’t see you often enough, please know that you are always in our hearts. Happy father’s day!

To my dad, whose motto has always been “Relax ka lang”, this Fathers Day, it’s your turn to relax. Hopefully we get a box of KK’s for you to unwind, since you’ve always had a sweet tooth.

Happy Fathers Day, dad!

The greatest gift I ever had
Came from God; I call him Dad!
~Author Unknown

Thank you God.

The span of time in which he is not around is not a hindrance because every time my daddy groovy is in the Philippines, he spends glorious moments with us.

He is an ENGINEER who is working in a boat. He is a TEACHER because he teaches me how to play tennis and guitar. He is a PREACHER because he teaches me how to pray. He is a COOK because he cooks nutritious food for us. He is a pet LOVER because he cuddles our golden retriever dog. He is a DRIVER because he drives and fetch me to school. He is a shock ABSORBER because he listens, suggests and defends me. Most of all, he is a FATHER because he is loving and kind.

Thank you, Dad…for listening and caring, for giving and sharing, but especially, for just being YOU!!! Happy Father’s Day.

My dad worked abroad even before my kuya was born. He is a very good provider. I remember him buying all the things that we wanted whenever he comes home.

My dad and I lost our closeness when I was in my teen years, during my “rebellious stage”. I started to hate him. I motivated myself to study harder for the wrong reason: so that I’ll be able to have a job, leave home and be out of his sight forever. I’m bad I know.

We never had a very good relationship since then. In 2002, he had a stroke, lost his job and was forced to go home. He’s even harder to deal with after that, with his insecurities and all.

In 2004 I was able to finish my studies and immediately have a job. Finally lost the urge of leaving home but still not in good terms with my dad. I remember treating my family when I received my first pay check, seeing the smile on their faces were priceless.

However, the most unforgettable of it all is how I saw how proud my dad is of me when I asked my mom to give him the money that I reserved just for him to spend. It may seem unusual for him because he’s used to providing everything for us and now it’s the other way around. I will never ever forget his face–teary-eyed while smiling.

He passed away exactly 5 years, 4 months and 23 days ago of stroke–Just a week after seeing how proud he is of me.

When I was 10, I remember making a personalized Father’s Day card using a folded coupon bond. On the front page, I drew a figure representing my Dad (a man wearing a Barong Tagalog) and inside was my Father’s Day greetings and message for the best father in the world!

I don’t cook. I married a man who loves cooking, with a family who loves cooking, with all them 5boys and 1girl who loves to cook and eat. 3 of the boys, including my husband, got married to girls who doesn’t know how to cook – including me.

My mother-in-law had a great idea to do a Father’s Day cooking challenge where the wives will cook pasta and chicken for my father in law. The husbands can help but cannot coach.

We had the challenge last Father’s Day and I cooked the best chicken, though not the over-all winner.

At the end of the day, everybody’s a winner – not just the contenders but the whole family. We had lots of fun. It will forever be a memory. I’m so blessed to be married to my ever supportive husband with a loving family.

I never used to be separated from home. That’s why I never enrolled in Baguio nor Manila in College. I felt that i am not complete without my parents and siblings beside me, or sleep without my favorite pillow and bed.

I’ve been married for 5 years now, but initially been living with my parents. Aside from financial constraints, the reason is the fact that i will miss my mom, my brothers and sisters and most especially my dad, my bestfirend. But even if we do not want to, we need to do things or make decisions for good. We need to build our own house and establish a happy home for our family. Ever since we moved out of our house just a year ago, I never let a day go by without telling him I love him. I always make a call, and still find time to chat. I want him to know that even from a distance, my heart never fails to remember.

I love you dad, happy father’s day to you.

One time I got into an argument with my Dad and I refused to speak to him the whole morning. That afternoon, I saw him checking the car that I was supposed to use on a trip the next day. It was then that I truly realized that a Father’s love is indestructible. I felt so guilty and ashamed of myself. The next morning, I cancelled my own trip, to the dismay of some people, and decided to take my Dad on a father-daughter road trip instead. He was kind of surprised that I would rather spend time with him than go on with the trip myself. I gave him a firm embrace and told him that he will always come first in my list. And both of us started to cry. It was a bittersweet moment for us. HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!!! REMEMBER YOU WILL ALWAYS COME FIRST

My dad is a father & grandfather to my kids. My husband works abroad for years now but I never felt alone raising two kids. Dad would bring my kids and all his grand children in the park on weekends so they could play and stretch their muscles.

Eveytime I go to malls, I make sure that I buy my father some bread to match his coffee. I also try to cook merienda on weekends and siomai is his favorite among my specialties.

Last May, my father was rushed to the hospital due to severe case of pneumonia with complications in the heart and he stayed in the ICU for 3 days. I did not leave him. I made sure to accompany him in the hospital even if it means sacrificing my work. I felt that is the only way I can show how much I love him. I want to make sure I’m at his bedside everytime he opens his eyes.

Last Sunday, father’s day, I did not give my dad material gift, instead, I continued to pray and thank our good Lord for the second chance he gave my father and for letting my dad continue to play with his grand children and guide me & my siblings face life’s challenge.

I could say that my Dad is the greatest dad every family, wife, daughter and son will ever want for. He died last April 26, 2006 because someone took his life away from him. It was a case of unresolved hold-up by people who in their own selfish way would want to take other’s fruits of labor. But for three years now, even after he’s gone, I should say that he still finances almost everything. He made sure before he left that we,his family will have adequate and sufficient resources to sustain our day to day living. I will never be able to repay my dad for all the good things that he has done for all of us. But what we can do is to visit him once a week and whisper to him how thankful we are because he is our father. To my Daduy, we love you! And you will forever be missed. Thank you so much. Happy Father’s Day.

My Dad is the greatest dad every family, wife, son and daughter could ever wish for. He died last April 26, 2006. It was a case of unresolved hold-up. An act of selfish people who in their own way will do what it takes to get other’s fruits of labor. It’s been 3 years now, but I should say that he is still the best provider. He made sure before he left that we, his family will be able to have enough and sufficient resources to sustain our day-to-day living. I will never be able to repay my dad. But what we can do is to visit him once a week and whisper our prayers and let him know how much we love and miss him. To my Daduy, our love and prayers. You may not be with us physically, but you’ll always be in our hearts and all the people you’ve helped and cared for. Happy Father’s day!

one of my sweetest gesture was when I was 7
dad has some colds and I volunteered to make
him a glass of calamansi juice. I was so excited
at that time serving my dad but upon drinking it
his face becomes bad but manage to smile…
unknowingly, what I put was iodized salt instead
of sugar i was so ashamed but he kissed and
told me, my thoughtfulness is enough !

I am proud to say that I am so blessed to have the BEST dad a family, wife,son and daughter could wish for. He died last April 26, 2006. It was a case of unresolved hold-up by people who in their own selfish and greedy ways wanted to have the fruits of other’s labor. It’s been 3 years now and I should say that my dad is still the best provider. He made sure before he left that we, his family would have the sufficient resources to sustain our day-to-day living. We can never repay the best things dad has done for us. But we can always whisper our Love and Gratitude to him whenever we visit him at least once a week. To our beloved Daduy, Happy Father’s day! You will always be missed and loved not just by your family but by all the people you have helped and cared for.

i offered prayers fo my dad’s soul and told him that no one will ever ever replace him in my heart:)

i always make him coffee on breakfast
every weekends even though he never ask !

cooking for him:)

my husband is a first time dad and this is also his first time to be away from his son. we only greeted him through a phone call and we could hear the loneliness in his voice telling us he misses us so badly. this krispy kreme doughnut could have been better shared with him on this special day.

We don’t usually celebrate Father’s Day! But a week before Father’s Day, we’ve already bought him an Adidas slippers and gave it to him as soon as we got home! No need to wait for the day itself to let him know that we remember him

Tay, it has been 8 long years since you went away and I want you to know that finally, after the long wait, I can tell you that I’ve moved on. No more tears and feeling of depression whenever I saw father and daughter walk hand in hand at the mall. I’ve always felt insecure and envious of the girls whose father were able to attend their graduation day. But then I realized that your expression of love does not end by mere physical presence, you never fail to guide me though you’re now resting. In times that I feel like giving up, the thought of you gives me the energy to fight again and go on. I will always tell myself that I should never give up because you never gave up on me. I must say that the way you taught me about being strong is a bit different. You have never mention any compliment towards my good grades and achievements. Instead, all you give were discouragements and criticisms to provoke me and to keep on doing better and better each passing day. Today, I am still keeping the strength that you have given me alive. I promise you this, I will never get tired of fighting no matter how hard the battle is. Tay, maraming salamat sa lahat lahat, sa pagpapasensya, sa pagmamahal. Sorry if I was not able to comply with your last request. Remember the day that you asked me not to go to school and stay by your side instead? Tay, I had the greatest regret when I don’t do that. When I came back, I found helpless in the bed and after two weeks, you passed away without saying good bye to me. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Now, all I can give you were flowers and candles. I am so sorry I didn’t stay. I want you to be here for me every winning moments that I have. What I do is for you, what I have no is because of you and your unique way of molding and raising me. Do I make you proud? Tay, mahal na mahal kita kahit hindi ko sinasabi madalas. Rest and stop worrying about me. You have done a good job in raising a child like me. I am thankful that you are my tatay. Happy father’s day. My worst, na-appreciate ko lang ang araw ng mga Ama nung times na hindi na kita kasama. Magpahinga ka na, ako na ang bahala, kaya ko na dahil sa mga itinuro mo. Love lots! Missing you bad..

when my dad had motor accident i was the one to take care of my dad in the hospital because he have fracture in his legs and it takes 3 operation to put the steel in his legs and stay for almost 5months after the recovery he got the therapy and now I’m living at rosario pasig and my parents still live in cavite city.i always keep in touch everyday thru phone or txt to my parents specially to my dad because of his condition.

It happened when I was an eleven.

I helped him in his business during weekends. I cooked our food, instead of him. There’s only 2 of us at our house, ‘coz my mother was an OFW.

Dearest Papa,

I will never forget the times when I would pluck those white hair from your beard and mustache. Yes, I was very young then…maybe 8 or 9 years old when I would enjoyingly do this while sitting on your lap. I felt so bonded with you and felt that I was really a “papa’s girl”. It’s so sad that you passed away so soon. But the memories I had with you while growing up were memories that I will forever treasure in my heart.

I know you’re in heaven right now and this Father’s day I want to tell you that I miss you so much and I LOVE YOU, PAPA.

I am still your baby.

For my loving tatay who have done everything for his family; but have left 12 years ago… Prayers are the best gift that I can always offer him. He might not experience playing with his grandkids, but I know how proud he is for I am doing the best for my family.

Last Father’s Day, I gave my Daddy a new pair of shoes, a big hug and a sweet kiss..

Love you Daddy

my family used to sleep in one bedroom back when i was in grade school. when my mom and dad had a fight one time, my dad slept in another room in the house. after a few days i missed him so i told my mom that i wont be sleeping in their room that night, because i want to sleep beside papa. papa came home that night with me sleeping on one side of the bed.
my mom and dad became friends the next day and my mom told me my dad was incredibly touched. hehe

my fathers loves gardening and we (my brother and i ) help him take those those nasty weeds out under the scorching heat of the sun and yes we were still young at that time and we sort of take some time off playing just to help him:) the best part is our little merienda after the hard work:)

The sweetest gesture I ever gave my dad
is when I usually give him a back massage
after his field work.I can see how tired he
is after a hard days work just to feed his
his family ! ilove u daddy …

This year’s Fathers Day, we only give our Dad a solo Selecta Family treat ice cream (Choco Brownie flavor), the one endorsed by Carmina Villaruel and family and chocolate with “Your the best Dad! Happy Father’s Day! =P” greetings written on the chocolate itself.

We love our Dad very much! Since my mother past away last 2003, he is the one who take care of us until now. He’s not only our father but he also act as a mother for us. Cooks for us if he have time. He’s a good cook! and I love his caldereta recipe! the best!

So Pa, Happy Fathers Day!!! We love you very much and for me, you’re the Best Dad! If I will be reincarnated in my next lifetime, I will still choose you to be my father…

Love you!

Liz

my dad is the strictest dad i know, like no wearing of shorts two inches above the knee, early curfew hours and the like. that’s why i never got to be vocal on how much i appreciate him. my first box of krispy kreme came from him and as a sweet response.. i noted on the box my first i love you to him afterwards! he gave me another box the next day. life is sweeter with kk

I am my daddy’s look-alike. I am proud to be his “princess junior”. I can only buy a “Father’s Day Card”; and I am really glad that I made him very happy!

The sweetest thing my dad did for me was when I was 15, and the film, My father, the hero was showing, and I really wanted to see it with my friends but I was short in my allowance and I already asked money for some other things from him so I didn’t want to ask for some more money so I just decided, well, there is always a next time and another film.

The following weekend, my dad dragged my brother and I to SM North EDSA to go check the furniture shops(which I loathe), but went with him anyway. So at SM, as we were about to go to the furniture shops, Papa said he needs to make a quick stop and headed towards the cinema. When we got there, he said we were gonna watch a movie instead and asked what I wanted to watch. My eyes brimmed with tears as I pointed to the movie poster of Gerard Depardieu’s film (I was 15 and I was such a cry baby!). We bought popcorn and soda and went in and had a blast.

I miss my childhood, but I’m glad my father made those memories for me to cherish for the rest of my life. Belated happy father’s day, Papa. I love you!

i still remember our first time to step foot in manila. it was all because of our dada. my dad is a tricycle driver but he has big dreams for us, we are 4 kids in the family.he would work day and nite and save some for his dream for the family and that is to EAT LUNCH at LUNETA and take us to a tour at manila zoo and chinese garden. being the eldest and i was 12 years old then, i remember that we rode an ordinary bus going to manila, we were seated on a 3 seater area so that we pay only for 3 persons but we were six all trying to fit in that space. and now that i am old, and have work of my own i promised myself to bring my dad back to luneta, eat our baon adobong manok cooked by my mother, together with my siblings and his grand children.then go to the mall. though this time we wont try fit in a 3 seater bus space but in our own private car.happy father’s day dada!

The very first letter I gave to my Dad on Father’s Day. Here it is:

Papa, I can never forget the hardships you have taken to bring me to the level I am today. I wouldn’t be where I’m now had it not been for you. Thank you for everything. I may not have said it often, but how could I let father’s day go by without saying how much you mean to me. However far from you but still I know you are always there for me as before. I have always respected you for being the most upright person in my life, I know you do not show yourlove for your daughters so openly but you love us a lot. We might have had a lot of interaction but you have made a maixmum impact o the way I think and react best part about you as a father has been that you never really taught us anything. You just lived your life and showed us the path of rightful living. You provided us with all the essentials of good life and never made us compromise on anything without ever showing how hard it could have been for you to provide such a decent life to all of us. thank you for everything

Love,

Your Eldest Daughter
Happy Father’s Day =)

My dad loves to be younger looking always. His a really cool dad, we were like buddies. He loves to sing and play drums. I bought him a perfume for father’s day and two shirts one with his favorite band “the beatles” on print, and another one with the words ” I fear no Beer” =)

When I was a kid, I have heard stories from my grandparents that my Dad worked his way through school. He was not able to enjoy his youth, as his time was spent on working and studying at the same time.
I gave my Dad a toy car on Father’s Day. He cried as he saw a matchbox car on his desk at home. I knew right there and then that “boys will always be boys”. No matter how strong they are outside, protecting and supporting their families, dads are still very much young at heart and toys would always make them smile. The toy car still sits on my Father’s desk at home and every time I see him holding that car and smiling, I would run towards him and give him my warmest hug.

I was not really close to my father, In fact I had this biggest “tampo” from him because he would not acknowledge my achievement. He will get angry with me if I didn’t get to be the top in the class. I was always on the top ten students of my batch, but I never got that top spot. I was contented with what I achieved but he is not. I guess he always have that high expectations from me.
When my father bought us our family van, he asked me to enroll in a driving school. My father didn’t knew how to drive, and didn’t bothered learning. So I was the one who was always on the wheel, when running errand for the family. And I was also his personal driver. That became our bonding moment. During those times that I drive for him, I learn many things about my father that I didn’t know when I was younger. We talked about many things during those long drives. And I being more matured that time, that’s when I understand where he is coming from. The way he gets angry with me everytime I didn’t reach the top. He wants me to be the best, and he believes I can do it.
One time, during one of our drives, he told me he would buy me a car if I pass the board exam, I was already in college then taking up accountancy. But two years before my graduation, he was stricken with a desease, and he left us forever. After passing the board exam, I was sad not because there wouldn’t be a new car waiting for me in the garage, but because I wouldn’t be able to share my greatest achievement with him. No, I didn’t top the board, but I know he is proud of me.
And yes, I still drive that van. It’s getting old and rusty, but I never thought of selling it. It’s my father’s legacy to us. I miss the long drive, I miss the conversations, but most of all I miss the man in my passenger seat.
Happy Father’s Day Papa! We will always miss you!

i used to play piano for him when i was younger. he’s really happy when we play the piano for him. we may not be the best there is but we are still the best for him:)

I gave my Dad hugs and kisses =)

one of the sweetest thing I did to daddy was when I was
in prep… i bought a birthdayday card from a classmate.
and then gave it to him. after I address the card I silently
put it in his closet !

he was surprised to see it in the evening and thank me
for what I did. It was my the first time to gave a card so I
can not forget this one.

I gave my dad a big big father’s day card and pasted pictures of us inside. He was really really surprised because he thought it was just an ordinary greeting card aside from the large size.

Dad, I can still remember the numerous times you carried me in your arms and waded through the flood just so I could get to school. You probably think that I was still too small then to remember but I do.
You didn’t want me to ruin my school uniform and miss school and that was the only way we could get there.

Thank you for being kind, selfless and giving. You were the only one who believed in me and trusted me when I was going through a rough patch. Now that I have made it through, I look back and realize that I couldn’t have made it without you. You told me to go on and be strong, and I did that.

Our relationship isn’t perfect, but if I had the choice to choose my father, I would still choose you. Happy Father’s Day!

My father has already passed away for more than 10 years now but I still miss him everyday.

The sweetest thing and also the most memorable gift I gave my father for father’s day was a banana republic printed white shirt.

I know that he loves wearing printed white shirts that I immediately bought it the moment I saw it on display. It’s the first gift I gave him from my own money.

It’s just sad that he never got to wear it. Because he got sick immediately after and died just 2 weeks of being ill.

That’s the most memorable and also my last gift to him for father’s day.

On his epitaph we wrote, we can only give you love that will last forever. A line from That’s All, the themesong of my papa and mama. True enough, eversince his death, that’s the only gift we can give him, for father’s day, his birthday, Christmas, new year and every day of the year, our love that will last forever.

I gave him a box of Krispy Kreme, his favorite, Original Glazed! Happy Father’s Day!

I made a toolbox card for my papa.
This is my gift for him.

Father’s Day is not only for the man of the house. Father’s Day is also for all single mothers who have taken the role of fatherhood.I am raised by a single parent, and I want to dedicate this heartwarming message for her.

And I will always be proud that I am raised by a single parent.Cheers to our future together! Happy Dad’s Day to my single Mommy!

one of the sweetest thing I’ve done to my dad
when I was little was to let him lay down and
relax on our sofa and then I’ll try to find
some gray and white hair and pulled it up
he really loves that after a hard days work
which eventually make him sleep !

i love u daddy… i miss u badly
wish you’re still beside us

My dad died when I was in high school, I always try to visit his grave and bring flowers.

I’m only 25 years old, but what I think the sweetest gesture I have done for my Papa was buying 4 VCD’s of Errol Flynn films as gifts for him in 2003.
I used to work in a video shop. One time, when I was out with a co-employee retrieving some video tapes and VCD’s, I saw my dad’s mountain bikers’ group. I called him immediately, told him about my whereabouts (I was already living on my own then), and he asked me if we have several tapes by the said classic movies actor. I said we do, but only a few. His question gave me the idea that he admires Errol, that’s why every payday, I would go to other video shops and hunt for Errol Flynn VCD’s, until I was able to collect 4 of them. He was really surprised when he tore open the gift wrapper, and gave me a big kiss like he used to.

i really do not have anything material to give my dad, but i thought of doing this online greeting as a father’s day “gift” to let the world know how much i love my papa. here goes my message:

pa,

i know you’re very busy today, as everyday, working hard for the money you have to give me every month to be able to send me to school and provide me my wants and other needs. i’m glad you really do that for me, because not all dads care enough for their kids as much as you care for me.

for 12 years, i really didn’t have the chance to have a dad by my side. we both know what happened to us before, but now it’s not really important anymore. i am thankful for we had forgiven each other and we already put our painful past to our repressed memories.

i would have to say that i really did not expect that we will meet again. in fact, i already lost hope that we’ll still have that “reconciliation”. God was just so great because he did not let me live without a dad forever.

thank you.these two words just can’t describe how grateful i am for you have returned in my life. though we do not often see each other, i assure you that i am always here for you no matter what, just what you are for me.

happy father’s day pa. i love you this much! *arms wide open*

hugs and kisses,
unica hija karen
