my son: I got to go throw-up
my son: (after I grabbed his leg) dad! I'm serious! let go!
my daughter: (after a few seconds) dad! kuya is throwing up!
my daughter: that proves it!
me: proves what?
my daughter: that he was serious!

"You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow."
- Gibran

white water rafting was fun... i fell off and all, which made the experience better...

I never bought your products, but I thought your mind to be better than mine... shalom Mr. Jobs!...

his:

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."

not his, but equally powerful:

"... there are no shortcuts. None." - Dan Gilbert

"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." - Benjamin Button

"Fall seven times, stand up eight." - Japanese Proverb

my daughter: dad, why did you marry my mother when you are in love with hot chicks...
me: *shrugs*
my daughter: well, you must have been in love with her when you married her... so I wish I have a "reset button" so I can send you both back to that time...

she is so wise, it made me sad...

my daughter while pacing around me: "dad, the fastest way to make money, with the highest percent of return is to be able to sell stuff... blah blah blah... I have to be able come up with a way to recycle trash to something I can sell... then mom can resign from work and she can help me with my shop... more blah blah blah..."


I taught her the 4Ps and she caught on to it... haha I am so pleased with this one...

I like coming to work early... I like waiting for the day to come to me... I like the comfort of silence...

was watching "The Devil Wears Prada" 2 weekends ago with my daughter and she got hooked... she said the girls there are "stylish" and proceeded to try her mom's clothes on... my, my , my...

my daughter: dad, my brother called me something bad... he used the "s" word... the one that starts with "stu" and ends with a "pid"...

(she was watching American Idol, which, at that segment, had the 4 boys on-stage)
my daughter: hayyy, there's no one hot...

---

(she was given P50 to give to the church, and she switched it with the P20 she had in her wallet)
her mother: why did you do that?
my daughter: I need all the money I can get... when you and dad are gone, I might become a stray person, and I'll need the money for my stuff...

me: uhm, no thank you, I just had breakfast...
my daughter: well, have one for dessert then...
