Vancouver & Daddy

vancouver has always been a city that intrigued me! i mean, its pretty from a few thousand feet up in the air, the airport is gorgeous and well from what i hear... its just pretty all together. 
so i think this year it'll be my next stop. i will make it a point to visit vancouver and spend say a week here, who knows... i may just move here... hahaha. yeah. knowing my track record for moving and picking up... who knows right? 

dad and i had a great time yesterday. we went to dimsum with ninong paeng and ninang sylvia. it was fun. we just talked about old times and just how much things have changed. and then dad and i hit mississauga and visited lola. after that we did more stuff before settling down for dinner at swiss chalet. hmm... sarap sobra! 

so this morning, as i was getting ready to leave, i could not help but think of how much of a daddy's & mommy's girl i am. at my age, you'd think saying goodbye and getting on a plane would be easy. something i've gotten used to. i still choke up when i hear daddy say "i love you hija. i'll be praying for your safe trip." it makes me well up inside and just want to run back and stay there. be with him. be with him and mommy. not because it's comfortable being around them... no. it's because i love being with them. the talks that we have, sometimes the arguments, the silly things we talk about. the dreams that we talk about, the prayers we whisper as a family. i cannot wait until we meet in hong kong this month. it'll be the perfect way to celebrate father's day and their wedding anniversary. 

i love you dad. can't wait to see you.
