LET IT BE KNOWN...

Had a great time with him
daryl1
yesterday. He was so excited riding the bus with me. He got even excited when he learned that after I pay the bills we will go to National Bookstore and skim the books that would interest us. It is that simple to please my son, no expensive fancy things – just a book that will make his day. He was so fascinated with the LOTR books and movies.

When we were in the bus, he was talking about how pessimistic he gets sometimes. Then I told him it is not good, that would not help him succeed.

I added that it was just like learning to ride the bike, it was always hard at first. "And now, look at me, I still don’t know how to ride a bike!" He laughed.

Then he asked me, "Ma, what do you think would have happened, if Eve did not eat the fruit of knowledge and wisdom? We might still be wandering this earth naked, don’t you think?"

"Well, I think there’s always the pros and cons of it. We might not have this ‘technology and everything’. We might have not improved. Though the world may not be as chaotic as it is now." I responded.

Truthfully, I enjoy every bit of discussion with Daryl. He tries to converse in the English language when there is a discussion. I am really amazed at his ideas. Not that he is my son. But for a 12 year old going to 13, he is really something.

Today he turns 13, and let it be known that I LOVE THIS GROWING BOY VERY MUCH. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SON!

    Grabe. 13 years old lang, napaka-philosophical na nag mga tipo ng tanong nya. At Ingles pa. Ako noon sa edad nya, naglalaro pa ng tumbang preso. Puro laro ang nasa utak. Di ako nagbibiro.

    Happy birthday to your Daryl.

    Daryl,

    Wish ko lang na sana'y maging successful ka balang araw.

    Wish ko rin na sana ay matagpuan mo na ang magiging 'crush' mo. At ipakilala mo sa akin, ha?

    I love you, anak.

    - Papa

    Ako din nung mga edad na yan, aba eh laro lng nasa isip ko, hahaha...

    which sometimes made me think:
    alin ba kaya mas maganda, ung panahon namin na simple lang ang kaligayahan o sa nagyon...hmmm...

    hi, DOPS!

    hindi naman henyo. i refused to be perceived as that kasi abnormal daw ang mga genius he he

    he plays din naman but not the usual stuff - he plays AGE OF THE EMPIRES, SIMS, and other computer games.

    kung ako ang tatanungin, mas maganda noon, mas maganda ang mga laro noon, mas nagtuturo ng kakaibang skills at survival. kung si Daryl ang tatanungin, of course, he will say mas maganda ngayon. (",)

    Happy Birthday Daryl!

    Try not to let things get you down. There are a lot of bad things happening, it's true, but I guess without the bad things, we wouldn't be able to appreciate to good things more. :-)

    Life is beautiful...and you have your whole life ahead of you. :-)

    Hi Bing! :-)
