Have a great weekend!

I chose to feature my friend Kees (Christa’s hubby, my Mahal na Ina featured mom for L.P.) for this L.P.’s theme. Why not my own dad? Like I said before, I chose to keep my private life off of my blogs. Basta mahal ko tatay ko, yun na yun! :)

*Napili ko pong isama sa akdang ito ang aking kaibigan na si Kees, asawa po ni Christa na sya namang napili kong ina sa aking ‘Mahal na Ina’ na akda nuong nakaraang L.P.

This is Kees. Relaxed (left) BBQ main man (right)

*Si Kees. Nag posed para sa akin (ang layo ng translation ano? he he) at sya rin ang tagaluto ng BBQ namin habang kami ay naiinip at gutom na *lol*

KEES is a dear friend of my small family. Caring not only his for own family but for us as well. He always extends his hands whenever we or anybody needs help. A loving dad to his kids (inserted photo, with 1st born Christian. Handsome looking young man isn’t he? Luckily he looks like his mom, har har har! Peace be with you Kees, I know you’re reading this ha ha ha! ) and a good provider. Is the relationship with the kids tight? Very! in my honest opinion.

Christa his wife, wrote a piece (or rather I twisted her arms to write a few words for this entry.) Here’s what she’s written:

“Kees is my loving husband.
Honest, straight, kind and always in for a joke and a friendly word and smile.
His smile is one of my favorites.
Whenever somebody needs help, Kees will be there to help and to support.
He realy is a very social feeling person
Next year we will be married for 25 years.
In your marriage you need someone tor rely on, to depend on and to know for sure
that he will always be there in the good times but also in the time of troubles
and difficulties.
I know for sure that Kees is someone like that and that is a privilage to know.
I am very thankfull to have Kees as my husband and the father of our children
Christian and Vivian.

And I hope that we will be for ever in good health and with the blessing of God
our Father in Heaven.”

This was written by one of the most honest person I’ve met in this lifetime.

Here’s a sample of the comic Kees…he is such a clown at times you’d pee in your pants when he does things like this (photo under)

* Hindi ko na po ita translate lahat kundi ilang linya lang tulad nito: Nakita nyo naman, nakatirik pa mata nyan! ha ha ha *

Kees may be a strong dad, a big guy , but inside him still is this little boy who collects old matchbox miniatures, old cameras (addicted to photography too and his wife even told me that he took after my food photography - meaning he ‘ d take photos of food before they can start eating *lol* ) miniature trains and a lot more. If you’ll enter his collection room in their home, you’ll think you’re in a toy store!

sample of his vintage miniatures, I was ‘permitted’ to touch them and take ‘em photos.

to end, Kees is a cool and definitely a loving dad. A treasured friend by us.

- all photos were permitted to be posted by Kees and Christa.

*Kees, harstikke bedankt dat ik over je mocht schrijven en Christa, bedankt voor dit stukje. Cris, ik heb jouw vader voor de copyright betaald! - veel liefs, Thess*

Feeling: HAPPY!

Exactly how she was feeling at that time. She was the main attraction of the Summer Carnival which is held yearly in Rotterdam where thousands of people occupy the streets to catch a glimpse of the year’s queen. She was last year’s Queen and I am hoping to get a glimpse of this year’s.

Maraming tao na hindi naniniwala sa kasal. Sa mga hindi naniniwala sa pakikipag-isang dibidib, ang “kasal ay kapirasong papel lamang”, na hindi lubos na makakakapag-patunay sa ikatatagal ng pagsasama ng 2 tao na nagmamahalan.
Marami rin naman ang naniniwala na ang kasal ang syang magbubuklod sa kanilang pag-sasama at ito ang ‘wagas’ na simbolo na kinakailangan isakatuparan. Kasalan-an na kung saan ang mga miyembro ng 2 pamilya ay saksi sa kanilang pagsusumpaan na magsasama, sa hirap at ligaya.
Dahil sa mahirap makahanap o makatyempo ng kasalan dito sa aming lugar, pagpasenshahan na ninyo ang aking mga larawang isinali sa akdang ito. Mabuti na lamang at naka-tyempo ako ng isang araw habang papalakad papunta sa palengke ay napadaan ako sa munisipyo dito sa aming siyudad at buti na lamang ay talagang lagi kong bitbit ang aking ‘kambal’ na camera at nakunan ko ang dalawang tagpo na ito.
Sa unang larawan ay pawang mga nagsi-attend lang sa kasal ang kinukunan ng larawan. Wala pa ang ikakasal at hindi ko na mahintay dahil madami akong bitbit.

Hindi din gaanong uso dito ang magagarbong kasalan. Malimit ay pawang pamilya at matatalik na kaibigan lamang ang imbitado sa kasalan.

Pansinin ninyo ang lumang bus, diyan nakasakay ang mga dumalo! kakaiba ano? Uso kasi dito ay mga lumang sasakayan ang ginagamit sa kasalan. Mas luma, mas gusto nila.

Ang munisipyo sa gabi. Dito din po ako ikinasal ilang taon na nakalipas. 16 po kaming katao sa kasalan na iyun. Wala po akong representative mula sa pamilya ko sa dahilang half-paralyzed na ang aking ama at hindi maiwan ito ng aking ina. Ang mga kapatid ko naman ay maliliit pa ang mga anak ng mga panahon na iyun kaya’t hinayaan ko na lamang na hindi sila magsidalo. Kaya sa kasal ko, ako lang ang Filipino.

Kung akoý yayaing pakasal muli, OO pa rin isasagot ko sa lalaking ito. Ang aking kabiyak, kasama sa hirap at ginhawa.
