"I love you Pa"

“If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him, I'd play a song that would never ever end, how I'd love love love”, to dance with my father again. It is a lyric from Dance With My Father by Luther Vandross. It’s the song that my father always sing before I went to sleep. Sometimes I don't appreciate the effort of my father in singing that song just to keep me sleep and that is my mistake, now I regret it. December 04, 2015 is the saddest and unforgettable moment of my life.

November 15, 2015 is the day when my mother choose to take my father in our province so that his cancer will be gone easily. Before they went to our peaceful and relaxing province, I help my mother in arranging their clothes and materials that they will be needed.

"Anak wag kakalimutan ang bilin ni mama sayo ah" my mother told me when we are arranging the clothes of my father.

"Opo ma, kailan balik niyo ni papa dito" I asked. "Pag magaling at bumalik na ang lakas ni papa babalik na kami basta ang mga bilin ni mama wag kakalimutan" my mother replied.

We finished arranging my mother and father clothes, my mother told us that we should say something to my father so that he will be inspired to be strong again my siblings told something to my father but I didn't because my father alreafy know that I always wishing and praying that he will easily be cured from the illness that he is experiencing.

After that they went to my cousin's red shining and clean car, but before my father entered inside the car he hugged me so tight and said

"Babalik si papa ah, basta pray lang tayo bunso ah I love you bunso".

After hearing what he said I can't help myself to stop crying because of that my father keep on kissing my forehead, hugging me so tight and keep saying to me

"Tahan na bunso wag na umiyak buhay pa naman si papa eh babalik pa ako promise yan".

"Basta papa babalik ka promise mo yan ah Papagaling ka dun ah hihintayin kita ah I love you too Papa" I replied.

Then after that long tight hug I assisted my father to my cousin's car and kissed the cheeks of my father. I told to my mother

" Ma ingat kayo dun ah wag papabayaan yung sarili din ma ah hintayin ko kayo ni papa na bumalik ah dapat magkasama at magkasabay kayong babalik ah" after saying that I hugged and kissed my mother.

After a month, it was December 04, 2015 the call of my mother in my phone awakened me from my sleep. I didn't notice that I have so many missed called from my mother and because of that I have called my mother and asked

"Ma bakit po ano po yun kakagising ko lang po kamusta po si papa?".

"Bunso wala na si papa" my mother replied

I don't know what to do after hearing what my mother said my body feel cold like an ice, I feel numb and speechless, I don’t know how to react in what my mother said.

"Anak sabihin mo na lang sa mga kapatid mo aasikasuhin ko lang mga papers para kay papa mo" my mother said to and she ended the call. After talking to my mother I told to my siblings

" Ate saka Kuya kanina lang sinabi ni mama sa akin na......... wala na po si papa". After saying it to my siblings I went to my room because I feel so much pain and I can't stop crying like my eyes is like a falls.

Now, I have all the regrets. I don’t even appreciate the last time that my father sing to me to the song dance with my father. I can no longer say the word “I love you Pa”, that I should always told to him even if he don't have a cancer and I can no longer have the chance to hugged him for the last time. But now, he's gone and all I got to do is to remember the memories that we have when we were still together and keep saying to myself that he is now with our God and he is not feeling the pain of his cancer anymore. I just regret the chances that I should treasure the times that my father keep on singing me just to make me asleep and also the memories that I was still with my father.

Cherish every  moment with your family

As Lauren Klarfeldt says "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal". Having a supportive family is a fortune. We the children still have time to make memories with our family. Being the youngest in a brood of three, my mother and siblings have learned to support one another. My family is like a diamond that I treasure and handle with care. Since my father died, I learned that I should make time with my family, make memories and make effort for them while they're still alive. People should count every hour and second of their life with their parents because losing one member of the family is more painful than losing valuable materials.

I need to make time for my family no matter what happens in my life. During my 8th grade, since my father died, I realized that even I have many assignments and projects to do I should still make time for my family. Therefore every time I went home from my school even though that I am busy and tired, I still make and spend my time for my family especially to my mother. I always tell to my mother what happened in my whole day in school and what opportunities that I have experienced. Also I always bought a felicitous and sweet snack made of thinly sliced bananas, dusted with brown sugar, rolled in a spring roll wrapper and fried that called a "turon" it is what my mother and I eat while we are watching teleserye.

A single memory with my family is worth more than any amount of money could buy. Every Saturday and Sunday I always ask my family if we can go to churches and stroll in the park like Rizal Park and Intramuros. Every time that my family and I have bond together I never forget to take pictures so that I have memories to keep instead of souvenir. Because for me memories cannot be steal by anyone and it is important than valuable materials. Likewise, I have a memories that I keep and every time that I remember my relish memories it makes me smile whenever I feel tired and doleful.

Do small things with great love this is called an effort. Everyday I make small gift and letters for my family to thank and say to them that I always love them. Also I make them feel that they are special because I never know when time will take one of my family member again away from me forever. I make my family feel that I am excited and always happy when I'm with them. Lastly doing small efforts for my family is what I can give return for the sacrifice, efforts and supports that my family gave to me.

In short cherish every moment with your family, spend more time with them and make them feel that they are important. Because family will be family despite of lies and pain that we give to our family they still love and support us no matter what happen. There is no perfect family we argue, fight and don't talk to each other but the love and concern will always be there.

Travelogue Quote

Traveling in any place helps us to feed our mind with new experiences and memories. Taste and experience extraordinary foods and gives our soul and body a time to reflect.

The Land of Agricultural Beauty

"Travel opens your heart, broadens your mind and fills your life with stories to tell" - Paula Bendfeldt. Isabela is a place in the north where people can see aesthetic agricultural views and exceptional tourist destination. One of the tourist destinations that Isabela have is the Tulap Falls. Tulap Falls is a place where my family and I gain a stupendous benefit, where I build my soul and discover new knowledge and memories. Being in Isabela gives me a peaceful heart and loosen up all the stress I have.

Isabela is known for its populated province in Cagayan. It was named after Queen Isabela II of Spain. Isabela is home to one of the largest remaining rainforests in the world. It is bounded on the north by Cagayan province; on the west by Kalinga, Mountain Province, and Ifugao; on the south by Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, and Aurora; and on the east by the Philippine Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Isabela is just one bus ride from Manila, but it takes 12 hours to get there. It is worth waiting because when you are in Isabela, you can descry the prodigious mountains, see lots of lofty- green trees and many rice fields, feel the serene of the place and the warm sensation of extraordinary, fresh, and crystal clean air.

I have been to Isabela for many times, but traveling to Tulap Falls in Cabagan gives stupendous benefits for me and my family. In Tulap Falls you can see the dazzle of the sun reflecting in the water, the fish that gaily swims and the lovely chirping of birds. The water in the Tulap Falls is pellucid as a glass and the temperature of the water is tepid that will makes people relax. There are many motles stones that can attract your eyes. There are flowers that has petals similar to a sun ray which surrounds the Falls.

There are different foods that you should not miss when you travel to Isabela. Because the delicious cuisine of Isabela help me to build my soul. That is why people should taste their crowd-pleasing foods like Binalay, Moriecos and Pancit Cabagan. Binalay is a native suman delicacy of the province made of sticky rice flour and wrapped in bananae leaves and served with latik sauce. Moriecos is stuffed with latik or caramelized young coconut, then steamed and wrapped in fresh banana leaf. Pancit Cabagan is a thin miki noodle recipe that is garnished with pork lechon, vegetables and quail eggs. While waiting for the food, I smell the luscious scent of the foods that they are preparing. It was the first time that my family and I tasted Binalay, Moriecos and Pancit Cabagan and our mouths started to water as it was served in front of us.

I have discover new knowledge and memories when I was in Isabela, like what is secret of their churches, how people in Isabela will make you feel that you are part of their family and how they welcomed visitor in their houses. Just like me and my family, we experienced that there is one family that welcomed us to their houses. The people in Isabela are very accommodating and hospitable that is why I always go back to Isabela not just because of the foods and places but also for the people. The proudest treasure that Isabela has is their church. My family and I visited the Our Lady of the Pillar Parish Church in Cauayan. The church has an antique design and structur. The aged look of the walls, the dark wooden chairs, the precise construction of the floor and the overall atmosphere is very different sight compared to what we usually see in Metro Manila.

Welcome To My Life

I, Faye Baccay Cristobal, I am a slim and morena girl who was born on May 24, on the third week of summer in the year 2002. My birthplace is Makati City but I live at Manila City. Baccay is my middle name which came from my mother's maiden name. I got my name in a television series titled Betty la Peya my aunt was the who told it to my mom and my dad. My nickname at home is Betty, my mom, aunts and uncles usually are the one who always call me Betty. However in school and in my friends I was called Paye and Peypey. My father was a machine operator in San Miguel Coorporation until we lost him in 2015 because of lung cancer. He died at the age of 54. He was a localite of Sta. Maria Isabela. My mother on the other hand is 58 years old this year and she is as strong as a elephant. She can also do some daddy things like repairing appliances . She’s a very stout woman she can do anything for her children. My mother she is also localite from Sta. Maria Isabela. But both my parents choose to live at Manila. After 7 years of their marriage, I was born. I am the youngest of three children. The name of the first born child is Joval and the name of the second child is Maryjoy.

Both of my parents was my first teacher, they are the one that teaches me to read and write. My mother is the one that teaches me to write then my father is the one who teaches me to read. I enrolled in kindergarten in 2017. My teacher in kindergarten, Ms. Susan was amused in my writing and reading skills. Because of my parents, I did not struggle in learning different kinds of writing like cursive writing and I am so thankful that my parents always guided me when I was a kinder students. My father always tell me that even if we know things already we should know how to help others. I always called "Daddy Girl's" because whenever my father goes somewhere I always stay beside him.

I have delineate memories with my childhood but there is one memories that I always makes me doleful whenever I remember it . I remember when the murk clouds cover the beaming sun, I was in grade nine when I lost my dad. I don't know who to tell and yield on, I wanted my mom to be on my side but sadly to say my mom went to Sta. Maria Isabela to fix my dad's funeral. I experience depression because of what happened like I just want to follow my father in the heaven. But I won't do it because I also think of what will happened to my mom if that happens.

Throughout of what happened to our life, my mother always cheer me up and she makes me feel that I'm not alone in my journey. Since kinder until now even my father is not with us already, my mother always support me like when I finished Grade 10 and enrolled in Maximo she supports me even though I know that she wanted me to be enrolled in universities like Umak and PUP. Even we lost our father, my mom always think a way to makes us feel that our father is still with us. There are days like Saturday and Sunday, my mother wear the clothes of my father and make voices like a man. It makes our weekend full of happiness. All of the memories and experiences was the most relish aspect of my life

Faye: The Loyal Princess👑

Pardis A. once said, "I reward loyalty with loyalty. I reward disloyalty with distance." Loyalty is cannot be learned in school or can be watch in youtube and television, you can learn it by your own and loyalty is the best reward that you can give to yourself. Because loyalty is the expensive reward that no one can get if they don't learn how to keep people in their lives. Everyone has loyalty in theirself , it takes time to know how they will keep the people they love in theirself. Because Faye means loyalty, confidence and trust, I keep my family and friends, do my best effort in my studies, and handle secrets carefully.

One of the meaning of my name is loyalty, it has a connection to one of my personality. Because I keep my family and friends, I can stay for a longest time with them even if they push me away. I am the person that can stay true to you behind your back. There are people that don't want me to stay in their life but I still choose to stay rather than to leave you. Even if you betray me from my back I will still choose to be loyal to you.

Confidence is the second meaning of my name Faye. It is connected to my personality because I choose to do my best effort in everything especially in my studies. Even if their are things that I'm not good at, I still do my best effort to accomplish all of it. Confidence is what everybody have but they don't know how they will find it and show it just like me. There are times that I cannot find my own confidence but I still choose to make my head high and be proud in what I can do.

The last meaning of Faye is trust, like the two meaning it also has connection to my personality. Were some people choose me to trust their secrets and problems. Trust is like a fragile glass that if you break it, ypu cannot fix it, so you should handle it with care. You can trust me everything you want to say and I can trust you too everything. I can give trust to anyone but once you broke my trust you cannot have it anymore.

To sum it all up, loyalty is one of the most important aspects of the relationship. Being loyal to someone is the greatest gesture that you can offer and receiving loyalty from someone is just like they are pouring unconditional love towards you. Every name has their own meaning and uniqueness. My name has reflected what I have in my personality and what I am today.
