Si Kap. Not the most engaging dad I have to admit. Ever since, hindi sya yung malaro sa mga anak. He never changed a diaper, never gave them a bath, never mixed their milk or fed them. He loves them of course. I know he does, but he’s not the type who spends every waking hour with them. For short, hindi sya mom.

But one thing I admire about Kap is he really pulls through where it counts. Like some weeks ago. Ate invited her gym friends to a Taal sojourn so they can wakeboard & play in the water. Kung baga, naka-kompromiso na. Everything has been planned & mapped out already and preparations have been made.

Kap is normally makunat (as I have recounted here plenty of times) but he went ahead & bought water toys coz he wanted Ate to be bida. 😉 Then nag-grocery sya for food & drinks to feed Ate‘s guests lunch, meryenda & dinner. Then he reserved rooms for us to use para daw kumportable & may aircon. Uh-huh, we are talking about one & the same Kap! ;P

And he bought our Babyson a new wakeboard vest to boot to protect the internal organs! Basta pang is-ports, Kap goes all-out. Grabe sobrang mini-me nya our Babyson! <3

The night before the weekend trip, we went to check on the boat to fill it with the things we would need. He filled the gas tank, we put the cooler & drinks para ice nalang kinabukasan. As we were about to leave, he decided to check the motor. Aba, problema, ayaw mag-start! Nag-panic si Kap my Kap.

I told him, don’t be OA. If it won’t start eh di it won’t start what can we do. Resked nalang. (Halatang I didn’t wanna go talaga lol) But no, he really went through all the trouble & called all his men so they can fix it right there & then. Nagkagulo sa shop. At 9 pm, naghanap talaga kami ng bukas na hardware so he can get the things needed to fix the boat & get it to start. But all were closed. Good thing he knew the number of a supplier & asked for a favor.

Hungry & tired after a long day, I asked him crankily why go through the trouble pwede naman i-resked. He replied: Kawawa naman, ayaw kong ma-disappoint si Jana minsan lang mag-invite. Nagsabi na sya sa friends nya saka excited yung bata.

This. To his eldest daughter who is most of the time sungit to him hehe. So I sent Ate the above photos with updates. I told her to save them on her phone & to look at it whenever she’s feeling exceptionally bitchy to her dad. 😛

A bear hug from his princess as thank you. <3

Dear Dad. You are amazing. You work hard for us, you love us so much and most of the time we take you for granted. Thank you so much for being you. We love you & we appreciate all that you do.
