Angel

My papa had me when he was 21 years old, same age with my mama and they had me unexpectedly. My grandfather decided to get back in the Philippines when he found out that my mama get pregnant and he was really mad specially to my papa. He just close his mouth while both parties talking about the set up , but everythings change when I pop up except his treatment to my papa. Well, papa have a long patience and know how to communicate with anyone except to my grandpa 😂.

My papa was born in Palanan Isabela and a high school graduate. The last time I visit his province was 32 years ago and the road there we're still rocky and it's like a Japanese style Street. It's like - house - road - house - road. Windows there was a Spanish style , no electricity , you'll get your water in the deep well and most kids there like can't speak Tagalog, only Palanan and it sounds differently.

My papa started his journey here in metro manila when he was 19 years old. He became a porter first and move in caloocan and became a woodcraft laborer where he met my flirty mama 😂.

My papa is a black belter in Arnis and karate, he had a good body with 6 pack abs.. it just United now and become 1 😂. He's also good in art, he always help my aunts on their project but when I'm already schooling, he keep telling me to make my own 😤. I remember when I was in grade 1 and my mama can't pick me up, my papa came and all my classmate was staring at him. I thought they're wondering why my papa and I have a different skin color. But I was wrong, early in the morning in school my classmates be like - woah! Your dad looks like a wrestler, did he go to the gym? My father have a big belly like a pregnant woman ... So me like - that's my papa Angel.

My papa stop his smoking and drinking habit when he almost killed by it and timely that my sister was born. He always using me an excuse to reject when someone invite him for a drink , he was like - sorry but I have to take care of my daughter because my wife is busy doing chores. But when he met a new peep, he started to drink and smoke again and I started to nag at him 😂.

Me to him: if you can't inherit us a money, atlist don't inherit us a problem.

And he stop smoking again and he just drink now once or twice a month.

Most of my neighbors are very kind to my parents specially to my father because he always ready to help them when they needed. When he got his first L300, one of our neighbor asking him to scroll in luneta park 😂. When they need extra vehicle for emergency, my father let them to borrow it.. and so on. I should say, I'm blessed having a father like him. Always ready to help as long as he can.

If God will give me another chance to choose a father,I'll choose him forever. He's the one who mold my character and my role model except being a Christian 😂. He's a member of cult, cult of people that don't do go to church 😂 but still believe and pray to God.

Yesterday September 22 celebrated his 59th birthday and it's first time to celebrate it with food and still, didn't blow a cake 😂. He just stand beside the cake and took a picture 😂. Now,I'm thinking, I should prepare for 60th birthday of my parents.. welcoming on senior citizen's life with alot of benefits and discounts 😂. I know this time, they won't get mad because they know now the feeling celebrating another year with small treats.

Happy birthday papa Angel 🎂. May God grant all prayers and remaining dreams for your life. I'm always here, you junior Angela.

Be you ... Don't be me
