Value
"Hi, just wanted to share something different since recently ang dami kong nababasa regarding sa pagrerebelde/disrespect nila sa parents nila. Growing up from a wealthy family, madali makuha ang gusto ko as long as na ang kapalit ay grades and that is one way of showing them how much i love and respect my parents. Di mawawala dyan away syempre especially nung highschool.
I have a sister and what i didn't know was, second family kami both sides (mom and dad) but i didn't bother as long as we're complete and happy. There were times na magagalit si mama dahil sa side ni dadi because of money, since ilocano si mama yeah, alam niyo na yun HAHAHAHA. My dad was a generous man, he was a civil engineer and sustained his siblings' studies. Di lang sa siblings but anyone he thinks na nangangailangan talaga. We were born and raised abroad, Libya, then decided to move sa Dubai to continue our studies there.
Sobrang strict ng dad ko especially sa studies ko since i'm his only son and the path i chose ever since elementary was Civil Engineering. It's fine, i didn't disappoint them anyway. During my hs days, di nako ganung close sa family ko ksi barkada dito, barkada doon. Dad was getting old but i still chose to spend mose of my time with my friends. One time they invited me to go with them on a road trip going to Al Ain and i said no because i was lazy and wanted to just chill at my friend's house. Long story short about this, they almost got into an accident ksi inatake daw si dadi while driving at knowing na nsa bandang bangin sla that time.
You really won't know the value of someone until they're gone. Dad got sick, specifically about his heart but he has his insurance so the operation was appointed to be done. It went great and thought everything was going to go back to normal but no, his kidneys got affected, his liver. Everything was starting to crumble for us, financially.
Come my birthday, he told me ""nak ikaw na bahala sa kapatid at mama mo ah? Alam ko sa sarili ko na kaya mo ksi kahit palagala ka matalino ka naman, mahal na mahal ko kayo."" Di ko kinaya at pumunta ako sa room ko at umiyak ako ng sobra. Weakness and strength ko talaga family ko kahit di na kami ganung close but still, i love them. 4 days before my graduation he was sent to the ICU kasi inatake nanaman. Come my graduation my mom told me that we have to visit him because he was forcing himself to get discharged just to attend my graduation. When we were there i told my dad ""pa, balik kami tas papicture tyo as a whole family na nakatoga ako."" Naiiyak ako nung sinasabi ko to but had to stay strong for him. After ng graduation namin, bumalik kami and kasama namin girlfriend ko nun at nakapagpapicture kami. Remembering that day naiiyak parin ako, sobrang sakit. Flight ko na nun going here, he got discharged. I hugged him one last time before leaving and it was the best hug i felt in years.
Sa FEU-EAC (FIT) ako nagenroll ksi trimestral sila and kaya ko naman unlike MAPUA. 1st year 2nd term nun, half of that term one week di nagparamdam sakin sila mama ksi usually every week nagsskype kami like once or twice a week. It felt odd like something was off. No wifi for 2 days and 2 nights were the days that almost got me killed cause i really miss my family back in dubai. Nagkawifi na and i just got home from school. First thing i noticed is ang weird ng ichura ng mga kasama ko like ""shocks he's here now"". My step brother (mom's side) called me and told me dad was dead. It didn't sink it to me instantly until the next day. Di ko kinaya may quiz pa kami nun but yeah, iyak ako ng iyak everyday.
Di na sya makakaattend ng graduation ko ngayong college. Di na nya ako makikitang makapasa at makuha ang license as a civil engineer. It sucks. I questioned God. Nagkabisyo ako, yosi at alak.
After a year nagstop ako sa vices ko dahil malamang sa malamang, it ruined my composure as a son of a civil engineer and hindi healthy, obviously. Nakapagmove on nako but naiinggit parin ako sa tuwing nakakakita ako ng family sa malls na gumagala cause we used to be like that.
I don't question God anymore, i don't questions his plans beacuse no matter what we do at the end of the day, his plan will overwrite our plans. Even though we are financially handicapped, kaya naman, si Lord eh (matthew 6:33, james 1:6-8).
Sa mga magrerebelde dyan, i know it's normal but try to limit it if rational sila like being strict sa studies, but if irrational na sila talk to them. You won't know the value of someone until they're gone, parang relationship lang diba? Hahaha.
Sorry medj mahaba but yeah, if ever man mapost to, thank you for reading my story smile emoticon i'll be graduating 1 year and 2 terms from now. :')"
