In the last thirteen years much has changed but few things still hold true. To start, I am not a little boy anymore. I have learned a lot and have still have much to learn. I am stubborn, messy, odd, and weird at times but its not that far off when I was kid. But I will however, mention that through life you learn so many lessons and learning a huge one at six-years-old was tough. Though, I have learned to shave. Man that was a rough learning curve years back. I probably cut myself five or six times the first time and people thought I got into some kind of knife fight. I didnt know you had to use a lot more shaving cream than just a...tad. My bad. Im curious how you learned to shave, did you cut your face a lot at all? Learning to drive was...crazy. Mom switched back and forth between Tagalog and English repeatedly when I was on the road at first so it was tough to understand and I apologize for making her life flash before her eyes multiple times. But to be fair it was her car and it was her life mission to make sure her insurance didnt skyrocket with me plunging the Honda into the river. Trust me, it didnt. She didnt have to grab the handle seventeen times though, or scream at the top of her lungs. She says its how you taught her though. She is a pretty safe driver I admit. Driving instructor? Not her forte. My face grows a lot of hair, more than I thought it would. My legs too for some reason. Mom says its from all the meat I eat or something like that. She says that, those hormones are making ya hairy, or some jibber-jabber of the sort. She always saying that I look odd with hairy legs. But I tell her all guys have it but she refutes me saying that you didnt. So just between you and me I am just gonna assume you may or may not have manscaped without her knowing. If so, props. If not, its cool, I am trying to be pescatarian. The fam think its odd, but my girlfriend supports me. Yea, yea I know what youre thinking...no more adobo, caldereta, or lumpia. Crazy right? Haha, but its fine. I dig it so far. Ive been teaching martial-arts now, for a while actually. It has its daily rewards like fitness and discipline. Other times it has its fair share of hair-pulling and mind-numbing craziness but I remember that you were optimistic so I try to do the same. I hurt myself a lot though from doing flips and kicks and stuff. My girlfriend gets mad when I get injured. But its cool, my girlfriend does it because she cares. Did mom ever get frustrated with you when you got hurt but didnt mean to? Ive cut Facebook a lot in the last year or so. Due to some personal and external reasons. I try not to go on often and I dont post as much as I use to. But it has given me time. A lot of time. More time. More time to fulfill the promises you have asked me to do. More time to work hard, become stronger, and take care of the girls and mom like you asked. More time to reflect, to indulge, to breathe. More time to love, to care, to laugh. More time to realize that you havent been gone and you havent left. More time to see that this path to becoming who you were never was a solo journey that I solemnly thought so long ago. But rather that youve had your hand on my shoulder ever since. So yes, I am a fool to think I could never be a man like you were because I never had you. But, if theres anything that I have learned from you since I last saw you...its this... that instead of feeling sorry and pity myself since losing you, I should be strong and live for you, because ever since you have always, been by my side. Love and miss you dad. -Your son R.I.P Serafin Paulite Pendilla Junior January 26, 2001
