The Diary of a Father

My daughter frequently asked Me everytime she saw me in the morning ready for work..."Papa aalis ka na naman? Iiwan mo na naman kami?"
Sometimes I am running out of a better words to explain why. But I always end up saying her that it was for her future.
At times, I know she understand, but I know sometimes because she's just a little girl...understanding every reason I gave whether valid or not may be very complicated for her.
I miss being a Dad for her and also being a husband to my wife.
Imagine I am only giving them literally two days for family day.
But everytime I was given a chance, I know they can both feel that my very desire to be with them and to make the most out of it...is mainly my priority.
I know I am not the only one who feel this, I think I am more lucky because still I have the chance to see them daily.
Time could be so selfish sometimes, because I think that when I am with them...time runs so fast.
But I know soon my daughter will understand that in life you'll have to do some sacrifices.
But I'd like to thank our Creator for giving me such a wonderful family...with my wife Mary Anne, and our only daughter...Althea.
I am now beginning to think that...I may not possess everything the richness, the power, but because I have them, I'm the luckiest and rich being in the world!

Words of Wisdom

"When you are happy and contented with your life there's someone out there who would want to steal that happiness in you.
But they will all end up struggling and unsuccessful because no matter how they try they won't win.
Because the real logic here is that they couldn't steal that happiness in you because it glows from within."

Honesty is the best policy!

Today, we would normally hear a friend or someone we know after telling something a reaction like that of a doubt if he or she could keep it. Because we usually think that promises are words said that are meant to be broken.

Why do you think such situation do exist today?

Mainly because the word "Honesty, " has a very deep responsibility attach to it...and that is to keep them.

Sometimes we even come up with different alibis why such action was never practiced.

Many of us do not know that we are committing a violation of being true to other people and even within one's selves.

This was one issue that ABS-CBN bravely face by prompting a teleserye entitled..."HONESTO!"

I have seen the teaser of it, and it was indeed very interesting.

The story will begin with a little boy named "honesto," whom according to them never tell a lie, because in their family if one does their nose simply got irritated and becomes red.

It was funny at first, because mainly most people whom are aware of the tale of "Pinnochio," would think that it was pegged to that.

Here the boy "Honesto," if found something simply returns it...and would never even hear him saying any single lie.

There was just one episode that was teased on the television where-in the scenario was set in the classroom and when Honesto, made mention that he doesn't have a father...all his classmates laughed at him.

The episode tackles the most important and basic foundation of our society and that is having a family that you can call your own.

I began thinking when I have seen the full episode...here all Honesto's classmates were laughing because for him his grandfather and their dog should also be a part of their family.

But the teaser has told us differently.

I'm just concern about how you put your teaser together, as much as possible stick on the gist of the story to avoid confusion and thus misleads viewers.

Because if it's misleading, then it should not anymore be called..."Honesto."
