Happy Father's Day Papa

So it's the 2md week of june, and it's father's day! A day not jsut for real men, but for all the individuals who acted like a father.


Some always say that I am lucky to have him as my father. Yes, he's the kindest, the most helpful. He is fond of helping other people. By the way, he is a chief marine engineer. He spent almost his whole life at the sea. We grew up not seeing him most of the time. We grew apart. Yes, hindi kami close sa papa namin. He's trying to give everything we want. Halos sunod sa luho nga ako because of him ee. Back when we were still young, simple lang ang life namin, pero nung tumanda na, sa material things na namin nababawi yung mga times na wala siya. Sometimes, nakakasawa na, to get everything I want. Na oo lang siya ng oo. What I want? is to build a close relationship with my dad. To spend more time with him. Sooner, papasok na ako mg med, and he'll grow older, how can we spend time pa? sana mag effort din siya para maging close samin. it saddens me na hindi ako makapagopen up sakanya ng mga bagay bagay. He's too focused on providing us a good life, and forgot that we are growing up not noticing were growing apart :(

barbara's buffet (intramuros, manila)

While I was browsing for deals, I saw this 50% off at barbara's in metrodeal. It was for 250 only, so I invited my mapua friends and they agreed. So we bought 5 vouchers. We were suppossed to be there last may 28, but we forgot to make reservations so we just decided to go there on the 5th of June.

since barbara's is inside intramuros, its interiors are spanish inspired. I guess it was a house built during the spanish era.

Barbara's serves Filipino foods. Some will say there is nothing special about their foods. But personally, i loved their kaldereta and okoy.

There was also a cultural show. It made me miss my sining kalinangan days. haha! I can say that barbara's is good. We left full naman. TIP: after you finish your first plate, rest for a while, and if you want to eat again, be sure to eat before the cultural show starts. Barbara's is eat-all-you-can-until-supplies last. We wanted to eat more of the dessert, but the trays were already empty and when we asked if they are going to refill it, they said no.
