23rd Philippine Travel Mart at SMX (August 10-12, 2012)

Yesterday, I and Josh had a time visiting a travel event held at SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. As you all knew we were into TRAVELLING so we decided to join the event that cost us PHP 50/each for the entrance.

What is this Event?

This was an Event hosted by Philippine Tour Operators Association (PHILTOA) in cooperation with the Department of Tourism. It also joined with almost 250 exhibitors promoting their tour products with artistic booths.

You can also notice the "It's More Fun In The Philippines" tag line throughout the event as well as the song that promotes our very own country!, (actually it was my first time to hear that soundtrack "Its more fun in the philippines...").


If you are a Travel Lover like me you will gain more knowledge and interest to what to travel in LUZON, VISAYAS and MINDANAO and you will realize that the Philippines is truly a travel destination and it is worth it.

I also bought many travel brochures at home, it is a BIG help if I will go to a certain place.


What We Purchased?

At the end of the day, I purchased a Day Tour in Corregidor on the 21st of August since this day is a holiday.

Happy Birthday to my Dear Father

Today is my Father's Birthday. I miss him soooo soooo much!! If only I can turn back time i would definitely want to do a big celebration with him  but unfortunately, I wasn't coz' he passed away 7 years ago.. :( ang bilis ng panahon.

Last night while I was in the office, i cried because I missed him! When he died, I thought it will be more easy to think that he's gone as times goes by, but I realized it is the other way around! The more time passed by, the more it is difficult for me to accept that I will not be seeing him forever :'( and I always cried whenever I realized that I don't have work the time that I was with him, because I wasn't able to treat him in a restaurant, I wasn't able to give gifts to him because I was just a 2nd year highschool ... Oh how I miss my King :(

I wasn't able to spend my graduations with him, I haven't experienced talking to him about boys and ask for his preference. haysss..

 I know my Dad is so proud of me , He's been so proud since I was a child. He do believed in me like no other.

Whenever I'm performing (when I was in grade 4 till 1st year HS) I always have my Dad as my no.1 audience even though it is very hard for him to take a long walk because his body was half paralyzed when he was 45 years old, He  can took a four-story building by stairs just to watch me performing. He even cried when I received awards and recognition back then.

Every month, we did dates! Just the two of us! I am a spoiled brat to him!
We always ate at Jollibee by my requests. Since I was the last born in the family and I am a menopausal baby, my siblings always told me that I spent more time with our dad compare to them. I spent my childhood days everyday with him.

Some of my regrets:

• I wasn't able to take more pictures with him,that time we don't have camera's pa eh. 
• I wasn't able to treat him in a simple restaurant, buy gifts for him, now that I am capable of doing that.
• I wasn't able to introduce him to my Boyfriend.
• I wasn't able to share  my Diploma with him.
• I wasn't able to share  my Christmas and New Year's Eve with him
• I wasn't able to share my Dreams with him. He's part pa naman nun. :'(

Haaays... But I am still thankful that he is my dad, That I spent more time with him when I was a child. Even though he can't provide everything to me back then, he still tried to be the best Father for me, with that I am just lucky to meet the no.1 guy in my heart. 

And today, it is his birthday, I will cherish all the moments I have with him FOREVER. And today I realized that... I can cry in an instant when I think about him and makes me inspired to continue striving hard that makes...

My Father as my weakness and my strength Forever.

And I swear that all the things I want to experience with him I want to do it for my Mom.

I miss you Dad,

Kahit nasan ka man ngayon.. Mahal na Mahal kita.

At hindi na magbabago un kahit kelan.

At habang nabubuhay ako, You will always in my Heart.

I miss calling you tatay & papa 
I miss greeting you a Happy Father's day every year!
I miss eating with you.
Most esp. I miss you Around Papa!

I love you Tay!

Once again, Happy Happy Birthday to you!

Love,
