My Dad (from a cousin's point of view)

Got this from my cousin's blog describing what my dad is all about...

uncle omeng, as i described him to a friend last night, was "sobrang funny and mabait". the best thing i liked about him was his laidback view about life. he took everything with a grain of salt: he was not a worrier. he refused to worry and just took life one day at a time. he was very funny. did i already say that?

maybe what i really mean to say is that he was the source of joy in our lives. it was a joy seeing him. i remember i hugged him when we had that photo taken. i remember talking to him for a long time outside of the restaurant where cheska had her reception after baptism. i remember teasing him before i left na hindi pa n'ya ko na-shopping. i remember him saying sorry and me saying that's ok uncle, naglalambing lang ako.

I always remember my dad being the joker of the Espadilla clan, always trying to make everybody laugh till tears starts comming out from thier eyes. His an optimist, he stands by his moto of "Don't worry be happy" his a Tito, Vic and Joey fanatic no wonder all his punch line is somehow the same with the trio.

That's one of the many aspects I got, we got from our dad all 3 us got his genes. If your going to rank us whoes the one that resembles my dad the most that would be my youngest brother. My dad left him when he was 5 years old and I seem to wonder how did he grow up like my dad... funny, a little heard headed, got the angst in him, freindly (he got ton's of it), hardcore drinker the way he moves, the way he talks, he also got my father's fashion of going out the streets halfnaked (typical tambay sa kanto) that's why both of them are well tanned.
