Tukayo, bday ng papa ko August 16. I’m not really expressive on how much I love them. Tinext ko lang sya ng i love you. pero yung mga ganyan di ko nasasabi ng harap-harapan. I should be more expressive. i will try. hehe

love yah!

Ganda ng bagong header mo.

I think Filipinos are just not that verbally expressive of their feelings. Don’t feel too bad because you are not alone in this. I grew up without hearing these 3 magical words even once in my own family. Now, there is not a day when my son or my husband and I would not say I love you to each other. I’m loving it, too !

Yeah, start it when you have your own family with that very gwapo Scott

Thanks for this post — it reminded me of how lucky I am to have my father around. The old codger is still kicking at 65-years-old and I am fortunate enough to see him regularly.

And during football season? My dad and I are right there watching our beloved Benton Panthers excel (well, they often stink) at the glorious game of high school football.

By the way, your dad certainly knew how much you loved him. I have children and we fathers always know. It’s a rule with few exceptions.

Thanks for the thought-provoking post.

@ HONEY, ELAINE, JEMI & LOLLII:

Thanks for appreciating my new header. I owe my good friend IVY a lot. She got the hands of an artist!

@ ELAINE:

Lab u, too Tukayo!

Magka-bertdey pala ang Papa natin. Pareho tayo Tukayo, di expressive. Naiinggit nga ako sa mga families who were brought up to be more verbally expressive.

@ ANNA:

I’m sorry to hear about your Mom. You’re lucky you were able to tell them. I want to be more expressive but I just wasn’t brought up that way and it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks, if you know what I mean.

Thanks for sharing.

@ JEMI:

Yes, Sis. I think it’s in our culture but nowadsys I can see many Filipinos who have raised their children to be very verbally expressive and I’m loving it everytime I get to hear parents and children saying I LOVE YOUs at each other.

With Scott and I, saying MAHAL NA MAHAL KITA is being said a hundred times over everytime we get to talk and I think we are treading on the right track.

@ FRANCINE:

Thanks for the congratulatory note, Dear. It didn’t came handy. It took a lot of time and effort before I’ve reached the rank that I have now.

@ THA NATURAL STATE HAWG:

You are most welcome, Sir! You are a very lucky man for having a father to share beautiful moments with.

I can imagine how it is with your children, too. Your avatar tells it all. Very sweet photo of you and your daughter!
