Belated Father’s Day Post

Jun 22nd 2012Family Matters & Health Matters & Home & Me

Father’s Day came and went but we weren’t able to celebrate because the husband has to be away for family matters. I was left behind to attend to the kids since this week was the first week of school.

It doesn’t really matter if we celebrated or not, we try to show how we love each other day in and day out. There’s no doubt that the children adore their father and that he in turn, loves them so much.

Live each day as if it’s your last. It may be a bit harsh but we can’t turn back the clock and feel we have not done enough to show we love our family.

Father’s Day is Jose Rizal’s 150th Birth Anniversary

Jun 18th 2011Around the Metro & Family Matters & Home & Philippines

Tomorrow, June 19, 2011, is Father’s Day and I’m sure most people are going to celebrate this special day honoring their fathers.

This particular father’s day coincidentally falls on the 150th birth anniversary of Jose Rizal, this nation’s national hero. In a way, Jose Rizal is like a father to the Filipino Youth.

Like our fathers who, along with their own individuality and unique traits like picking the vegetables out of a meat stew, or re-reading books that have long been read or maybe even doing a weekly dusting old sports trophies they’ve won during their prime, Jose Rizal is not just an exceptional young man but a patriot, a true citizen and one who tries to excel in everything he does.

Just like our fathers.

Just like our fathers who work hard to provide for the families needs, Rizal worked hard to achieve freedom for the country.

Just like our fathers who patiently teach their children how to be good citizens, Rizal taught us, through his work how to love our country and fight for what is right.

Our fathers and Jose Rizal are all different from one another but looking at their traits, we will find similarities.
