We started celebrating Father’s Day 2010 early because I cooked spaghetti for hubby. We had spaghetti for breakfast and lunch.

Because Justin and I had to buy something he needed in school, we texted his Daddy to follow us to the mall to eat out. Our restaurant of choice this time was Teriyaki Boy. Look at what we ordered:


Kani Salad (Japanese crabstick with mayo dressing on top of a cucumber slaw topped with fresh shrimp roe/Japanese caviar), Php125.00


Philly Cheese Steak Roll (Teppanyaki beef with deep-fried sweet onions topped w/flame-torched cheese served with Teriyaki Boy’s new rolls dip), Php175.00


Teriyaki Boy Chicken (Succulent grilled boneless chicken marinated and cooked with Teriyaki Boy sauce), Php195.00


Ebi Tempura (Fresh tiger prawns battered and deep-fried until crispy. Served with tempura sauce), Php260.00


Yum-yum! Sorry, folks, haven’t mastered using chopsticks yet!

We celebrated Father’s Day last Sunday at my parents' house in Dasmarinas, Cavite. It was supposed to be a surprise visit to our beloved Tatay (Filipino word for “father”). My younger sister and brother did not tell him that we (Ed, me, and Justin) would be coming along. We all shared a hearty meal of pancit malabon and puto, lechon manok, vegetable salad, lumpiang shanghai, and laing (gabi/taro leaves cooked in coconut milk).

The main purpose of our visit was to show Tatay how we, his children, appreciate all the things that he has done for us. He may not have been the best provider because of circumstances beyond his control, but he has more than made up for that. During those times that our Nanay (Filipino word for “mother”) would be out of the house trying to earn a living, Tatay was the one who cooked for us, fed us, cleaned the house, washed our clothes, attended our PTA meetings, listened to our stories, shared our laughter, and dried our tears. Although we were dirt poor, we never felt deprived because our Tatay loved us. That unselfish love and devotion saw our family through those trying times.

Happy Father’s Day, Tatay! You’re the world’s greatest dad, and I’m proud to be your daughter.
