Father and Son

I usually love music by the note, not by the word.

I really suck at memorizing lyrics, that could be one of the reasons why. I used to think that the first few lines of this song by Cat Stevens goes something like,

It's now time to make a change...

I am formulating a title for this post. The main idea is my desire to change my blog layout, and I thought there could be no better song than this. Funny. Ang fail ko lang.

When I listened to the song, with the correct lyrics this time, I remembered Papa. He's still alive, in case anyone's wondering. It just that, I'm like a young boy, yearning for moments to share with him so badly. The only difference this time, is that we haven't got much to spend. He's 66.

I have been blessed to have him, that's a fact. It's an opportune time to just think of the things I never got to do with my father, just a quick list. Things that probably happened, but I can't remember since I was too young, don't count.

1. Teach me how to speak Nihongo (Japanese native language)
2. Play a physical sport together. The most physical was a card game.
3. Go watch a movie, just the two of us.
4. Share secrets.
5. Be there for him when he's sick, even when he's down with a cold. Alagaan siya.

Soon. Soon.
