At Last!

At last I'm officially on vacation!

It's not a long vacation, so I'll make sure I'll enjoy every moment of it. I arrived here in Davao earlier.. er.. it's technically early Tuesday morning so I arrived here yesterday around lunch time. From the airport, I went straight to SM Davao to for my lunch, then went to the bus terminal and rode the bus for Panabo City, where my family and in-laws were waiting.

Last night, there was a party here in honor of my mother-in-law's birthday, among many other celebrations. It was so good to catch up with my wife's friends and relatives, as well as my daughter to meet her cousins.

I'm kinda sleepy now, but I want to make the most of this short vacation, and as much as I'd like to check and update my Facebook, the computer I'm using now, my brother-in-law's, it's way slow that I can't even open my FB main page. Oh well, I'll just check my FB later using my phone.

Good night... uhm, good morning world!

Waiting

2 hours, 18 minutes left before boarding call.

I am at the airport now waiting for my boarding call for Davao. Just got off from work, then my Dad picked up and took me straight here where I will be boarding Cebu Pacific to be reunited with my family.

News from Davao soon.

Proud Papa

My daughter got the Academic Excellence Award for the second straight school year today, her second year in semi-formal education. Last year was sweet because it was her first time, but this year was sweeter because it wasn't easy. She had a stricter teacher this year, and the lessons were... let's just say, lessons that even I needed to read through her books again and again just to help her with her assignments, and she's only six years old.

I wasn't able to control my emotions when I went up the stage with her to get her medal, as tears fell from my eyes. As my daughter said, "I am growing up and Papa is growing old..." I am not yet old, but I am getting older. Time flies so fast, I can still remember when I went up onstage to *ahem* get my medals too.

It was not easy, but she did it again. Hay, I'm so proud to be the father of this little girl. She deserves even a short break so right this moment, while I'm at the office, she's already in Davao with her mom and grandmom. I will hopefully follow them tomorrow after my shift.

Can't wait for our long-postponed vacation! Next time I'll be blogging from Davao del Norte... or is it Davao del Sur? Whatever! As long as I'll be on vacation!

Till then.

Superman Returns... sort of...

I've had a lot of blogs before when I was younger, but after a couple of posts (only my lil sis and a friend read my posts then), those blogs just died a natural death. Well, not really died but I just became too busy and too lazy to continue them. They are still existing now somewhere in the world wide web, but I'd like to leave them as they are, and start anew with this blog.

I wasn't planning on blogging again, but tonight while at work, while servicing and debating with customers on the phone, I realized that there are a lot of things I want to say, things I want to get out of my system, and a blog, even one that no one else will read, is I think the best way to let it all out. And also, I have so much fun reading the blog of one of my closest friends who I rarely see. I am updated with her life through her blog, so in a way, she also inspired me to write again.

In this regard, I welcome myself back to the world of blogging. I hope to start anew with this blog, and if I can, continue this until forever. Or even until the day after forever. Or if that's too much, at least until my daughter would be old enough to have her own blog.

To infinity and beyond!
