HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! *hug*
10:04 PM
You know, I'm a person who cries a lot. I cry over the simplest things, to be honest. And right now, I remember that tomorrow will be Father's Day and suddenly flashes of the many things that my Dad has done for me enters my mind and right now, as I am typing this, I'm sniffing and sobbing in my room.
Whenever I say that I'm a daddy's girl it doesn't just mean the materialistic kind but I really love my dad a lot - he's done so much for me and I don't even know how to repay it. Heck, I don't show it because I'm not really open when it comes to my feelings. I'm not the one who throws out 'I love you~'s to my parents every now and then, but I really do care for them a lot, especially my dad. He's superrrr special to me.
It's really cheesy to say this but for me he's been the best dad in the whole world. He doesn't grant everything I want, he reprimands me but that's because I know he cares. But what touches me the most is that whenever he sees me feeling down he would always try to break the ice and do something to make me happy. He never disappoints me, really. I feel a whole lot more comfortable with him than my mom.
My dad is the one who would ask me how my day went, how school went, did I get low grades or something in a quiz and asks if he could help me with something and a whole lot more.. Whenever I remember those things, tears would just involuntary fall from my eyes. It just saddens me right now how I have no idea what to give to him tomorrow at Father's Day... T^T
Just sharing this experience I had in which my dad was really just the best!
I remember one time when I was asking him for something for my birthday (lg lollipop cellphone [$241] + super show 2 gen. ad ticket [$21]) but he didn't even respond so I took it in the wrong way and started moping in my room and just staying silent whilst focusing my attention of my computer. I'm not the person who can stay mad for so long so gradually I began to accept that I wouldn't be getting it after all and thought to myself that maybe I really was asking for too much. But still, even though I don't act frustrated anymore, I still have that heavy feeling in my chest because I really really wanted what I was asking for.
On the day of my birthday (at April 9) my friends came over and we had a lot of fun but after they left, the whole happy feeling in me just died down. Why? It was already night time (8 PM) and still, no signs of my present from my parents. So I was really disappointed and thought that they would simply give me money on my birthday. And the fact that the Super Junior concert on out country (which was on the next day, April 10) and I didn't have a ticket yet so I assumed I wasn't going to attend anymore. It was around 8:30 when dad asked me to dress up because we were going somewhere. So of course, I dress up and went with him. I wasn't excited and the look could be seen on my face - I was just waiting to see where he's taking me and that's all.
I was shocked to see where we were. He told me to stay put at this ice cream store and he went out. I wondered where he was going but he told me to stay put so I just stayed in that ice cream store, eating Oreo ice cream (he payed for it). He came back with a disappointed face and said that the tickets for the General Admission were sold out. I felt happy and disappointed at the same time but I assume my face showed disappointment more. He took me to the mall beside the Araneta Coliseum and from what I thought that we would just be eating a simple meal, we went down to the electronics department and guess what? He bought me the cellphone I wanted. "I never said I wouldn't buy it for you. Happy Birthday dear, did you like it?" He said. I was just so happy that I thought I could cry on the spot. I hadn't expected this because well, it was expensive and I thought he didn't want to buy it. I sure sound like a spoiled brat already no? But honestly, it's rare for me to ask something from them; this was one of those times in which I really wanted something. I said thank you but deep down I really wanted to do more but like I said, I wasn't the 'sweet daughter', I have troubles expressing myself. D:
I got the cellphone, I was hyped up of course. He sat beside me as I was fiddling around with the cellphone, saving the numbers of my friends and all. But still, I was sad. I wouldn't be able to go to the concert of my favorite kpop band ever, who wouldn't? So I asked him about the concert. He told me that he really did went around the place to ask if there were still tickets for the general admission but it was sold out already. I was disappointed, really. I had a difficulty trying to get to sleep because I know I'd probably missing out the concert I wanted to go to. But a part of me was already happy for the phone I got.
The next day, April 10 (SJ's concert night!) I was shocked when my dad woke me up so and told me to get dressed. I was moving slow because I just wanted to stay home that day. Guess where we went? To the concert venue! I was excited because I thought that maybe he did get a ticket for the general admission then he said he didn't. "Don't worry, hopefully there's a scalper around selling tickets. We'll find one." He said. I wanted to cry on the spot at how sweet my dad was. Finally, this guy appeared and asked dad if he wanted to buy tickets. To my surprise, he didn't buy the General Admission tickets [$21] but the Upperbox B tickets [$65]! Then he took out a pair of small binoculars from his bag, gave it to me and said, "The place you would be sitting, you could still see them but use that if you want to take a closer look and feel like you're at the SVIP place. Have fun!" And yes, I did have a lot of fun in the concert.
See, that's just one of the thousand reasons why I love my dad. That just came out as me being a spoiled brat but if you look into it clearly, it just shows how much my dad cares. He's just too sweet!
tl;dr I LOVE MY DAD! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, DAD!
