IS THERE ANY GADGET THAT COULD TRANSFER HUGS?

My dad and I are oceans apart. As in no mode of transpo except airplane can make us hug each other. We seldom meet each other, as in 2-3 weeks a year lang? He does not even call often. Good thing there's YM.hehe. Kelangan kasi niya ng YM sa office niya. Kaya ako, chinichempuhan ko siya sa office hours niya para makachat ko siya. Mas madalas kami sa YM mag-usap kesa sa phone. Eh, libre lang nman kasi sa YM eh. Kaya ito ang patok samin as a way of communication.hehe. Bakit ko sinasabi ito? La lang. Gusto ko lang ishare.hehe. Yung iba kasi, hindi nila alam ganu sila kaswerte na kapiling nila mga mahal nila sa buhay (sus, kadrama ko naman). hehe. Pero hindi yun tlga main point ng blog na to (although considered na rin point yun) hehe. My dad has a different perspective in life. He believes in hardwork and see things in a positive way. I saved one of our conversations. Ganito ang usapan namin nun isang araw:

 

alexbatac: Hi my boy, how r u
alexbatac: Where are u now
lexusdstripper: im in school ryt now. using my laptop.hehe
alexbatac: Did u receive the email mssgs i sent
alexbatac: Wow sosi ka na ha
lexusdstripper: hehe. tnx again for the laptop. it helps me a lot.
alexbatac: Kahit na walang connections pwede internet diba?
alexbatac: Dont carry ur laptap when open, it will be destroyed easily
lexusdstripper: yup. thru wi-fi. wireless connection yun. yup ive read the instructions on how to take care of the laptop.
lexusdstripper: ala ka bago email msg sakin?
alexbatac: How is ur studies? How is ur life? You must always have a sunny disposition, smiling face not malungkutin.
alexbatac: You must look like a winner, masaya
lexusdstripper: yup. im trying to be psitive. i ma mu tlga ing emotional masyado. kaw kasi eh.hehe
alexbatac: Smile to people, greet them & that will have contageous effect
lexusdstripper: ive got 96/100 on my last exam in calculus. im improving.hehe
alexbatac: Good, u can make it just focus on it. U r there to learn what u dont know yet.
alexbatac: Develop also ur communications skill. U should know how to talk
lexusdstripper: but sometimes i find wat they teach in school idealistic.. parang i wont use them in the outside world..
alexbatac: U will be more attractive if u can communicate well
alexbatac: You may not need them now but someday u may use them so u have to learn them. Take anything like Pacman. Be hungry on knowledge
alexbatac: If we cannot change the attitude of ur mom, dont be influenced.
alexbatac: When u speak inside the class, dont use taglish. Speak in English to impress and command respect
lexusdstripper: my mom affects me so much. sometimes i cant help but answer her.
alexbatac: Dont answer back to ur mom. Just ignore
alexbatac: Be with people u like, u idolized.
lexusdstripper: dapat kasi di mo siya kinulong sa bahay eh.hehe.
alexbatac: Though ur laptop is handy, be careful in using it so it will last till u finish ur masteral course (MBA) or Law.
lexusdstripper: dad, i love cars. can i learn more about cars and eventually it will be my business someday?
alexbatac: She could hardly land a job then coz her size. I accompanied her in Makati, despite her backers, she was not hired
alexbatac: If in car bus. u should learn also the documentations like registration, deed of sale and insurance
lexusdstripper: yes. im willing to learn thsoe transactions. is it ok to have my car already? im really desperate to have a car that i can proudly call my own.hehe
alexbatac: U will appreciate more if u will buy ur own car. Make that a dream, an inspiration
lexusdstripper: hmpf! but is it ok to you if i could work it out to buy my car?wehehe
alexbatac: Finish ur studies, work and/or engage in business then buy ur car/s
alexbatac: You may go with ur mom here in Guam come April. Drive around ur mom with a red RX8 sportscar, fully loaded.
lexusdstripper: as if mom wants to see you there.haha.
alexbatac: U should be here to prove that our critics are wrong.
alexbatac: If u r with her, you can tour her around while I am at work. U will not get bored
lexusdstripper: kaw lang naman tong problema eh. lage mo sinasabi punta kami jan di naman pala.
alexbatac: U have no time coz of ur studies. If u will pass all ur subject n no need for summer class, then u may come here this vacation
lexusdstripper: eh ganyan din sinabi mo last xmas break and sembreak eh.
alexbatac: xmas and sem brakes are not ideal
lexusdstripper: ok. ill try this summer.
alexbatac: Can u work as waiter in a restaurant? Taga ligpit ng pinagkainan at linis table
lexusdstripper: aus lang. kahit experience lang. i want to try working on a restaurant
alexbatac: I will look for an easy job for u, not under the sun
lexusdstripper: can i work here in summer in case i wont go to guam? jollibee for example
lexusdstripper: dad, i have to go. bye!

 

 He does not wait for reply. He says what he wants to say. Kaya hindi nagkakatugma minsan mga replies namin. Sinusulit talaga niya kahit sa YM. hehe. I know he's a busy person and I don't have any grudge about it. It's not easy for us, but I know we really have to sacrifice.

My dad had been through in a lot of things. I know he is an experienced person. And I trust him for that. Whatever he says, I follow. It's not because I'm scared to him, but I respect and trust him not just because he's my dad, but as person. He's a respectable man in our place. He came from nothing. Pinaghirapan tlga niya kung asan man siya ngayon. That's why I believe in him so much.

Why am I saying this? I really don't know. Siguro I just want something to remember someday. Journal nga ito di ba? Para makita ko yung sarili ko ngayon some time in the future pag nabasa ko ito at iba ko pang blogs. Yun din dahilan kaya public lahat ng pinupost ko para in case na makalimutan ko password ko.hehe.

 Uhm,gusto ko rin ishare my dad thoughts. He's a nice man. You can also learn from his perspectives in life.

 

**whoa, I really missed my dad. I hope someday technological advancements could tranfer hugs..
