have yourself a merry little christmas pop...

this is the first time i'm gonna be spending christmas without you. but don't worry, there won't be any tears. in fact i've been used to all these separation that i almost feel like i've grown without you.

i remember the time when you were always around all the time. i was only starting to enjoy it when suddenly you had to leave for Cebu. it was hard. i remember that day, we went to Star City so you could make up for it. my sisters were having the time of their lives, i wasn't. i wasn't enjoying anything because i hated amusement parks and i knew that when we get exhausted and go to sleep, when we wake, you wouldn't be there anymore.

as time went by, i got used to you coming home and going away, always taking away a piece of me.

i don't miss you that much anymore, there's YM now and text messages. i'm cool about everything now. sometimes i feel i'm really talking to you in person when we have YM conversations. you never fail to make me laugh. thank God, there's webcam now, we get to see your face, that ugly face of yours which mom says is handsome. just kidding.

but still, nothing beats that face i see when i wake up early Christmas morning, smiling and saying, "tingnan nyo sa baba, baka nag-iwan na nga regalo si Santa Claus."

merry christmas papa...

distance doesn't matter,
memories do.
rembering your laughter,
your smiles too.
