♥ A Special Birthday Message For My Dad ♥

Yeah yeah, I know this is off topic but I wouldn't miss my Dad's birthday for the world. Ever. So here I am, allotting a space for him in my blog. That's how special he is to me. Yey!  =) So bear with me guys.

Today, August 22, 2010 is my Dad's 61st Birthday. We may not be together to celebrate another year and another journey of his life, but I am always with him in mind and spirit. I know you're gonna be reading this blog tonight Dad (hello there young man!) so I might as well compose you a birthday message here since I failed to send you a birthday letter or anything of that sort through snail mail. (Yay, my bad!). Don't feel bad Dad, at least I was being honest. =) 

Well, where do I start? Dad is extremely a cool man and every conversation we have over the phone is just pure heavenly fun. He's hilarious and possesses great sense of humor. I wonder why he didn't pass for a comedian? Maybe he will be.. in his future life that is. Kidding Dad. =) He has always been supportive of me and my sister's needs. He shares his high-tech gadgets to us, and even at his age, he still enjoys playing PSP's and play stations like a kid. How cool is that?! He's smart and very eloquent. I can say that I got my good genes from him. Thanks Dad. And oh, he can drink one bottle of wine in just one sitting without even getting drunk. Now, can we call that a talent or what? 


If we are just together, I would definitely give him presents for his birthday to show how much I appreciate the love and care he has shown us, his daughters over the years. Here are the list of gifts that I'll be buying for his birthday:


1. A fishing rod - My dad enjoys fishing as a hobby so I know for a fact that he'll be thrilled to receive a new one. Here are some photos oh him in one of his fishing adventures.

Here's Dad enjoying his wait for a big catch!

Dad just caught a 5 pounder channel catfish. Aint that amazing?

 2. A 2 Terrabyte Solid State Hard Drive - Dad is fond of taking random photos and downloading movies too so a hard drive with a super big storage capacity to keep his treasures is a sure must-have for him.
3. A new pair of tennis shoes (Nike or Reebok)  - He is a tennis shoes addict so adding a new pair to his vast collection will definitely give him another thrill.
4. An expensive bottle of wine that he haven't tried out yet - As I've told you a while ago, my Dad enjoys wine drinking so much. Buying him an expensive wine new to his tastebuds will surely send his spirits to Cloud Nine.
5. A laptop/netbook - Yeah, I know this is quite expensive and I'd be shelling out too much money out of my pocket but this gift will complete everything that has been listed above. Dad enjoys browsing the net during his free time so again this is a must-have for him. This is portable and very easy to carry, so he can bring this gadget with him where ever he wishes to go.


So there you go...the 5 presents that I'll be buying for Dad if we are not just  separated thousand of miles apart. Don't worry Dad, I'll make it up to you next time around. I promise that the gifts will be more grander and impressive. Uhuh, maybe next time. =)

Dad, I really wished you a very happy birthday. I hope you enjoy your big day to the fullest. You only get to celebrate it once in a calendar, so make it a BLAST! I love you so much Dad. Thank you for everything. And I mean...EVERYTHING.

Last year, Dad celebrated his birthday with Mom on a cruise ship. They had a hearty dinner and after which danced together with the other couples. Below are some photos of my parents when Dad celebrated his 60th birthday.

This is my Mom. Isn't she a beauty?

Enjoy guys! I love you both so much. XOXOXOXOXO!
