Yena’s Letter to her Lolo

Today is my father’s 71st birthday. Just timing coz today’s theme at Letters That I’ll Never Send is a letter to grandparents. As much as I want to write a love note to my father, I will just do that some other time, today is yena’s moment to shine, and if yena could write her lolo a letter I guess it goes like this...

Dearest Lolo,

I love you. I always pray to Jesus to heal you completely so you can walk with ease and would not use your cane when we go to the market. I pray for your complete healing, for you and lola’s long life and for good customers in your small business. When I grow up I could be your assistant, I promise.

I write to tell you that I love it every time you buy me ice cream, bread and banana. The ice cream is my most favorite in the afternoon. Since you don’t want to see me crying you would give in to whatever I like. I am kinda spoiled by you but just like kuya yael and ate eya, you are the only person we’re scared of (for good reasons or because we’re afraid of your cane hihih).

I asked you what do you like for your birthday but you just shake your head. Mommy said you wished for a vacation to Aklan and Daddy said we will go there by January. I know you are as excited as I am. I hope you enjoy your day and the chocolate cake and Lola’s yummiest pancit. And we will sing videoke! I know you like that! ^_^

Happy Happy Birthday Lolo!

Love love love you much,
Yena

Dear Dora,

I have been wanting to thank you for all the time that i can blog while you keep my daughter's company. You are her first favorite. I know you get jealous now when she has been asking for Elmo or Jollibee - but you know that you are her first love.

From the bottom of my heart thank you. Through good times and bad times you are there - most especially this week when we cannot go out of the house because of sore eyes. Now that husband catch the virus too, can you please go to the mountain through the cave and dance your way to the fountain to get the cure for this? Of course i am just kidding. ^_^

Thank you Dora! You always make my Yena very happy just by seeing you on her laplap. You are the best Dora. Thank you so much..

And have a happy happy birthday! Kisses from all of us here (hope you won't catch our virus! yay)

Dear Bestfriend,

Last night, you told me you ‘like’ Nash, the cute little boy on your Jollibee’s cd. Oh will this be the start of our ‘crush topics’? Is it the start of worrying? I know you are growing bigger and wiser everyday but I am still worried. Baby, please don’t grow too fast. I still enjoy your tricks every now and then – and your sweet little voice saying I love you is something I won’t trade to anything in the world.

Please don’t grow so fast, or if you do, remember that you have your best friend here. Please always tell me that I am you bestest friend.. and you are my favorite partner in crime at home. We both kick daddy’s ass when we want to coz we are partners! Remember that!

Please… just please tell me all your little stories like the way you used to every night when I came home from work. Please continue nagging me when I seem too busy in front of my laptop. Please continue telling me I look like Bea Alonzo and that I smell good always… ^_^

Please my best friend.. I hope we can still talk like this until my hair is gray and yours at your prime. I love you to bits my baby! Thank you for telling me I am your best friend coz you are my BESTEST ever!

This is my letter to my little partner in crime at home, my daughter and my bestfriend, YENA. My share on LTINS this thursday.

Liham para sa aking Sarili (Letter to Self)

Mahal kong Niko,

Binabati kita! Akala ko ay magpapasa ka na ng resignation letter (ano sa tagalog ang resignation letter?) nung magsimula ang unang araw ng linggong ito. Pero kinaya mo. Alam kong nahihirapan ka na. Pagsabay sabayin ang pagiging adik sa blog (ano sa tagalog ang blog?), sa pagiging ina at asawa, at pagtatrabaho ng limang araw sa buong lingo ng higit walong oras. Puyat, pagod, sabay pa ang pagkaiyakin mo, napuno ka na… pero kinaya mo.

Kasi alam mong hindi pwedeng pagnahirapan ay aayaw na. Hindi pwedeng pagnapagod titigil na. Hindi pwedeng pag umiyak magdedesisyon ng bigla bigla at hindi pwedeng mag inarte dahil kelangan mong kumayod. Itigil ang drama (hindi ka naman artista!), itigil ang pag iilusyong manalo sa lotto (dahil di ka naman tumataya!), itigil ang pag wish (pakitagalog) na sana pinanganak kang may gintong kutsara sa bibig.

Kumayod ka! Daigin mo si kuracha (ang babaeng walang pahinga)!

Ang aking bahagi sa Letters that ‘ll Never Send in tagalog version. Dahil ngayong buwan ayon kay Mys ay buwan ng wika. Pindutin ang magandang badge (pakitagalog ulit) para sumali at magbasa ng mga makabagdamdaming sulat. Maligayang Huwebes sa inyong lahat!

Dear Genie,

I know you already know what I will be talking about so let me get this straight to the point. Can you please grant my 3 wishes? I promise I be good the whole year round (is this santa or genie hahah?!)

Anyways, my first wish, would love to have a house like Celine Dion’s
for number 2, a voice like Celine Dion
Now for wish number 3, wake me up! hahah

Seriously, my three wishes would be…
1, good health for my loved ones
2, more opp$ for my blogs
And 3, world peace! ^_^

Dear Jean,

I will not know how much pain you’re feeling right now. Losing someone you love isn’t easy. As the priest said on Joey’s last mass, there are things we don’t understand and on those times all we have to do is trust the Lord. In him we find strength. And Like you I am hurting and I don’t understand too – when I feel like questioning God – I pray. Now all we have to do is pray that we can accept things and at least understand.

I am lost for words actually and I wonder if I can type to 100 words. If I do I’ll be soaking wet with my tears so i have to stop typing. Since Yobib wrote a letter to Joey I thought of writing you mine too. Well, you know me, I won’t tell you this things in person and won’t send you this, not a chance. I feel for you and for the baby. It is very hurting I know and I am so hurt for you too. We don’t want to cry together, do we? Coz if ever we do, we won’t stop. And that’s scary.

I just want to tell you that we love you to bits. You and your baby can count on us, always in all ways.

Mushy Valentines Letter from a Desperate Wife

Dearest Kabute,

Do you still remember those days when we call each other MUSH? Oh, those were the days.. 4 years ago we call each other with many hateful names and then months later we call each other the mushiest and cheesiest. I called you ‘kabute’ and you called me ‘mush’– those were the cutest days of our lives - get the picture of how cupid played a fool out of us? you should! lol.

But you know one thing? I love our transformation from enemies to tennis buddies to friends to best of friends to shock absorbers to mushy lovers to naughty couple and to thankful parents through these years. I love the way I am when I am with you.. I love the way you are and the way you made sunget to me, hahah.

I would not want any other life than my life I have with you. You are everything I wish for daddy dearest, I love you with all my heart and soul…

Happy Valentine’s Day!

PS: Hey! wake up and don’t be mushy, this letter is just a hint. TAKE ME OUT ON A DATE! I am sooooo soooo sooo desperate for a date. Harhar

This is my entry for Mys Letters that I’ll Never Send with a Letter to someone I love Theme. Click on the badge to join us every Thursday! See you around...

Dearest Yenggay Aruray,

It has been days when your daddy and I would go home late at night – 10pm is supposed to be your sleeping time BUT since mom and dad has to work double time we have our sleeping time moved to 12am. I know you wake up at 10am, I just hope you grow up well in spite of ‘weird’ sleeping habits.

Our bonding time is shortened to two hours – in the middle of the night we laugh and play and do house chores coz that’s the only time we have for each other. You would laugh hard when i call you Yenggay Aruray - you are so kikay!

I miss you baby. Mommy is doing something for you.. I know for sure you will be happiest when i finally got it! I love seeing your surprised-happiest-smile when receiving surprise gifts.. You certainly love surprises, you got that from me! ;)

Remember the little basketball I gave you last Monday? Your face lit up with delight the moment you saw it. And I love to see that perfect smile again..

Soon baby I will make it up for you. By March we will be spending time longer every night and on weekends while watching your favorite DVDs on your own portable DVD, that’s a promise!

Dear God,

My Husband, that fool woke up early this morning. He told me he has to report to work an hour early. With my eyes still closed, he kissed me goodbye and whispered ‘iloveu’ as he head to the door. After an hour I got up and proceed to the bathroom. My sleepiness flew away as soon as I saw that beautiful red rose with a note that says:

Dear wifey,

I am so blessed. Though I didn’t give you the best flowers in the garden, God gave me the best wife in the world. Belated happy 2nd anniversary.. my beautiful and sexy wife. I am so lucky to have you! I love you so much. Mwah

Hugs and kisses,
Hubby Yobib

I cried (as usual) while laughing, yes like a fool i used to be while taking a bath. My husband knows how much i love roses. Last night he went home with two grocery bags full of goodies for me and yena. He bought the melon I have been craving since last week.. He has a job so demanding of his time so night time means a little chat than we used to do before we go to sleep, I miss him. He is on his ass working from 7am until you know when today I hope he got time to read this post of mine.

I love him and am so thankful for all the moments and surprises he continues to shower me, am sooo blessed for having him in my life.. Thank you Lord!

A Letter to Someone who's Gone

Dear Papa,

Please don’t tell your son but sometimes I dread going home to see Mamato alone. I’m so used to seeing you and Mamato together. I still wish I can see you waiting for us at the front door or sitting at the veranda. Your face will be all aglow upon seeing Yena.. I would touch your hand and you would smile back. How I miss seeing your smile, hearing your voice and touching your hands.

I still wish we could talk about our recent getaway; I know you would smile on all our stories, especially when husband would goof around about riding an airplane and all. I miss Sundays, especially at the church and the nonstop videoke sessions in the afternoon. You always have the longest list of the songs you like to sing over and over again. I miss hearing your singing especially Martin Nievera’s song. Promise of Love has a lot of version; it was always sung by you, your sons and nephews (in particular order). Oh how I miss hearing your high tone and those times you would stop awhile and would still go on.

I might have cried buckets the day you left us, but I know you are in a much better place now. And I shall find comfort knowing that wherever you are right now, I know there is no more pain only happiness.

We love you papa and we miss you so much.


Your daughter in law,
Niko
