Cheers!!

October 22, Friday. Happy 22nd wedding anniversary to Paps and Mams!!! 

So let me tell you something about my parentals. 

PAPS. 

Ikaw na nga ang may iphone 4!! 

Occupation: Lawyer
School graduated: Far Eastern University, Bachelor of Arts in Pol Sci; Bachelor of Law
Age: 37 right Paps? Hahaha!


Question: So how is it like to have a father-lawyer? 

JC Pelagio: Well, it's both frustrating and satisfying!! Frustrating, because when we have gimiks to ask permission for, Paps can pull out ALL his reasoning skills in one sitting. It's quite useless to argue with him because arguing and analyzing other people's reason is so, so, so much part of his daily life. I sometimes find myself writing down my reasons in a pad paper so I am fully equipped! Hahaha! Satisfying, since Paps can be really, really galante. Just ask and you shall receive. 

Q: How's Atty. Pelagio as a father?

JC: A father during the weekdays, family driver during weekends and a friend at all times. 

Q: What's his favorite past time?

JC: Hahaha I am so dead when I share this but Paps often go home late due to his usual videoke nights with his lawyer friends!! You see, he is a big lover of music! And oh, he loves to sleep!

Q: Is he strict?

JC: In terms of what? In gimiks, he can be. So what me and my siblings do is arm ourselves with reasons that can top his. With boyfriend and suitors, not really. As long as you tell him who the guy is. In general, not really. 

Q: Being the daddy's girl that you are, why didn't you take up law in college?

JC: That's a classic question from relatives and friends right there!! I have so much respect for Paps and his career. I would like to put it this way.. As an individual, I know my strengths and weaknesses. Given that, I feel that what I have will not be enough to excel in a profession that asks more than what I can give. Di naman sa wala akong tiwala sa sarili ko, but I'm just being real. Besides, I also want to establish a Pelagio in a different field. 

Q: Is your dad supportive of your profession?

JC: Yes! He actually talked me into nursing so he really has to support me!! Hahaha! Seriously, I'm thankful that my parents are not impatient with my being unemployed. They trust and support me with my plans. 

Q: Any message for your dad?

JC: Hey Paps, I love you!!! 

MAMS.

Mams!!!!! :)

Occupation: Project Managaer, Phil National Red Cross PDAF Department
School Graduated: Araullo Lyceum, BS Commerce
Age: 52


Question: Your Mom works as?

JC: Mams is currently employed at the Phil National Red Cross as Program Manager under Sen. Gordon's PDAF project. Prior to that, she worked at TLRC. 

Q: She's a budding entrepreneur right? 

JC: My mom has her heart towards business. She has her own line of laundry soap before. Before, she used to sell clothes and her famous maja blanca! I think she has plans of putting up her own business by next year! 

Q: Is your mom strict?

JC: Definitely not!! She can give you her go signal in an instant! 

Q: Is there anything you would like to share with everyone about your Mom?

JC: Let me see. Mams loves lipsticks!! She can go out without any powder or eye shadow, but not without lipstick! She is currently trying out ballroom dancing as exercise. She makes the best maja blanca in town!! Mams has issues on my weight. SHE TELLS ME, MAG EXERCISE KA NGA! ANG TABA TABA MO NA! Hahaha! 

Q: Are you close to your Mom?

JC: I'm closer to Paps. But it doesn't mean that I don't share issues with Mams. I love them both!

Q: Message to your Mom?

JC: Mams, I know how hard is it to conceive and bear a child and for that, I am so, so, so thankful that you decided to give me life! I love you!!

AND SO WE CELEBRATED AT OUR FAVE CHINESE RESTAU, HAP CHAN!!!!! :) 

More years of togetherness, Paps and Mams!!!
