It's Daddy day today

Highlights of my day: 177 make-up class and feasib meeting turned chismis time with Fa, Emm and Weng hahaha

In 177, we were discussing innovation. Brands that lived and died were attractions in the topic. And three brands reminded me of my Dad.

Safeguard hand sanitizer- now dead. HAHAHA Sir Acedera passed around a bottle of the sanitizer and I remembered the numerous bottles we had back in my high school days. I texted my mom immediately saying 'Ma, may safeguard sanitizer bottles pa ba jan? Itago mo naman. Walal lang, dinidiscuss kasi ngayon sa make-up class namin. Collector's item na kasi yan. haha' Mom replied so fast saying 'Wala na pangalan. Gamit para sa hand wash.' I laughed but instructed her to take care of the bottle still. haha What reminded me of my dad was that the handwash was actually a collection of little soaps, mixed with water to become liquid soap. Diba sulit? Walang sayang! hahaha My dad and his little ways.

Krispy Kreme donuts. For the record, their branch in High Street gives away around 3,000 donuts a day. (you know, when the lines are long they feed you with glazed donuts. haha) And they sell around 2,000 DOZENS of donuts a day. How's that for a sales report? hahaha So back to my Daddy... When they visited me here last summer, I accompanied them to TriNoMa since it'll be their first time in the mall. After they have shopped, my dad craved for GoNuts Donuts and I said 'Wag nang GoNuts! May Krispy Kreme dito!' My dad was so game and said 'Oh sige halika saan yun?' So the four of us (my kuya wasn't with us) went to Krispy Kreme. My dad carefully examined the wide display of donuts, his face barely a foot away from the glass. He gave me money and told me which ones he wanted and added 'Bili ka one dozen. Basta akin yung *says 2 variants but i forgot which haha*'. So there, the story of how my Dad binged on Krispy Kreme. It's funny he loved eating only when he got older. Now he gets quarter pounders from McDo too!

Karaoke. Specifically the Magic Sing. I remembered two Christmases ago, we had a magic sing here at home (borrowed from my tita who received it as a gift). We sang the whole evening and my dad got bored he got up and chose a song- Can't take my eyes off you and started singing. Joop danced to the beat and OMG my dad gave the microphone to Joop saying 'Ikaw kumanta ako sasayaw.' HAHAHA I have a video of it actually. Watching it, I cried. Wala lang, miss ko na sila lahat.
One of my favorite photos. Taken by our mom. I was a freshman here.

And when I got home, I immediately logged on YM because I had to catch the ABAM conference. I totally forgot to tell Mom that I got home safe. I didn't check my phone soon so I found her text an hour after I received it. Even if it was already 11:25 in the evening, I still replied to her and added 'I love you' at the end of the message.

It's been so stressful lately that I always find myself fighting the urge to go home to Iloilo. I just want to be there. Not worrying about anything. I want my mom to take care of me. I want to go to mass with them. I want my dad to drive for us. I just want to be a kid and not have a care in the world. But I can't. I'm 19. And with the recent things in my life, I don't even feel like 19. Feeling ko I'm 20ish. Having to worry about my life after school, my source of income, my plans. LAHAT YAN. Anyhooo, I'm sooo waiting for sembreak. Because it means feasib is done, I'm going home for a vacation and of course, sembreak plans with friends. YAY!

Hay naku! Such an emo day. I love you friends! Thank you for the hug, Mare. I love you! I love you Mom and Dad and Joop and Jom.

Ang sarap ng may friends. Mas masarap when you show it off to others who took them for granted. HAHAHA WINK!
