This time it’s perfect! Yummy!!!
When I first cooked this on Alexx birthday I wasn’t satisfied with it. Last Saturday, I had the chance to cook it again as a labor of love for our housemate here who celebrated his birthday. This time it was perfect as I thought. (still got a kinda nega-comment from hubby, anyway criticism is a challenge. Commented but he almost ate the bones. hehehe). The long process of doing this is actually worth the effort because it’s yummy & it’s fulfilling when you get good comments about it.

Just came to my mind couple of days ago that why not I write something about Dad and a little about mom. Let me reminisce some of the moments during my childhood years…How will I ever forget the feeding milk bottle that was thrown by a drunk man…dad! tsk!tsk!tsk! So bad that it made me so scared of you everytime…then later during that week you comforted me by giving me my milkbottle which I remembered I refused to accept it. hmp!
To start off things about my dad, he is or rather was a super strict, disciplinarian, authoritative and so fierce as he was, when my siblings & I were still young. 5 o’clock pm strikes and we know, both he & mom were approaching from office. As we see them from afar of Rosario St. we would quickly get inside the house, take a bath and go straight to our room. Just get out to kiss them when they arrive then wait for dinner to be served.
Afterwhich, the most scary part was when he goes back home super drunk. Because for no reason, he will wake us all up in the middle of the night, gather us in the dining table & would asked each one what mistake we have done…(terrible) lucky for me coz I was still young then but there was a moment I get slapped also for not asking permission & for going home very late too. (kasakit man ah) This was during my highschool years. As if he didn’t experience going to parties with friends (killjoy)…I don’t know if you trusted us being your daughters on our teenage years or it’s just the way you want to discipline us. Whether to ask permission or not, you still won’t permit. (hay si daddy!) We had no choice! For me, it wasn’t a big deal though, but for my elder sister, it really was, she rebelled against dad…contradicting everything to the very fact of getting married without the knowledge of everybody in the house (sorry sis but it was really a stubbornly move) & what dad really hates until now, I guess is when you do things behind his back. (true dad?) Just to let you know, I was also afraid when I told you I am pregnant! But I was ready whatever things you will tell me. I know I failed you too. Both you & mom. But I think it’s worth to have a granddaughter who is the apple of your eye. hehehe
Everything about my dad is wonderful when it comes to his friends, relatives & even my cousins who are closed to him. Everyone smiles & enjoy his company. The feast won’t be merry without him. They love him.
Age changes perception I guess, learning from his experiences dad mellowed down…he is no longer that strict even to his grandchildren (I saw the difference from now & then). Maybe we are old enough to be whack and spank. hehehe
Somehow I understand why dad was acting that way…3 daughters & a son! Just that dad became overprotective and too much of something is bad enough. NO regrets for being such because by looking at us now, you will know you made a difference & we both owe you & mom what we are now.
To mommy, nothing much to say about you because we all know how great you are as our mother. Knowing all your sacrifices including the 10 pesos salary you only had before, I think it’s more than enough just to give us good education, our want’s & our needs.
We may have failed your dreams for us & both you as well…you might have questioned yourselves on where you went wrong being Parents to us…YOU DID NOTHING WRONG! It is our desicions which place us to where & what we are now. All I can say is THANK YOU for the wonderful guidance.

When the “storms of life”
Gather darkly ahead,
I think of these wonderful words I once read.
And I say to myself
As “threatening clouds” hover,
Don’t “fold up your wings”
And “run for cover.”
But like the eagle,
“Spread wide your wings”
And “soar far above”
The troubles life brings.
For the eagle knows
That the higher he flies,
The more tranquil and brighter
Become the skies.
And there is nothing in life
God ever asks us to bear
That we can’t soar above
“On the wings of prayer.”
And in looking back over
The “storm you passed through,
You’ll find you gained strength
And new courage, too”.
For in facing “life’s storms”
With an eagle’s wings,
You can fly far above
Earth’s small, petty things.

Is it reasonable enough for me to get mad or rather to feel bad when my own husband read other blogs but don’t have interest on reading mine???
hmmmp!!! I may not be that interesting to him…oh common! maybe I should put something daring here. 
What about our _ _ _ video? (bwahahaha) For sure you will have this blog deleted.
Anyway, if you don’t want to read…then don’t! I won’t force you…
Sa bagay, lagi naman akong least priority eh. ok lang! sige unahin mo na lang basahin ang PEX at pinoyscandal blog na yan…at iaapreciate mo sila ng todo.
