My Father

fredison — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 11:23:53 +0000

Today is Father’s day, and while the majority of people around Australia , had the chance to do something with their fathers, mine was in another state doing his own thing. It’s perfectly normal since my father has always had his own thing going on. I called him today and judging from his tone of his voice and how we interacted, I think he was happy to have heard from me. While our relationship may not be that great and it’s not like your typical father-son relationship that you see in the movies (then again not everyone has that), he is still my father and I still respect him and listen to him as such.

He didn’t do the greatest job raising me but I did inherit some of the qualities which I have noticed as of late. It seems that as I get older, I am more forgiving and probably more tolerant, which explains why I can talk to him without having to go into a burst of raw emotions. Anyways here’s to my father and may he enjoy his day and whatever he got up to.

On another note this old man celebrated his birthday in style thanks to the anonymous folks at 4chan. More of this story can be read here, and if this world had more people, who could put their heads together to brighten someone’s day, how awesome would this world be?

My Little Ladies

Chu Vu will always have your backs and I’ll claw anyone that gets in your ways of your dreams and hopes. I really do love these little ladies!

Happy Birthday to you

I haven’t seen you in so long, but your birthday was just past and I feel terrible for not having called you or passed you a message, hopefully soon I’ll make it up to you and we’ll get to hang out. Happy Birthday to you and look after yourself.

I am much more happier and relaxed now that I am surrounded by good people at home.

Kimmie: “You know one day when all the older generation will no longer be here, we won’t be having these family gatherings and everyone will go their own ways.”
Me: “Yeah that sounds about right but it’s up to each of us to keep in touch with the other, because in the end family is what connects you to the past, the present and possibly the future.”

Where I wanna be

Chef Olivier

If you ever get the chance, google my Dad’s name and he generally comes up with good reviews for the food he cooks at the Zipp Restaurant in Canberra.Â He puts a lot of effort and passion into the food that he creates, kind of like an artist with a painting.

It comes to no surprise though, that when he found out I had a lady friend come along to visit, he put his heart and soul into it.Â Judging from what he created, it was like him asking for her hand in marriage for me.Â I don’t think my friend knew this seeing as she just only met my Dad in that one instance.Â People communicate in many different ways, my Dad communicates in more then one, but this one for now seems to be the safest to explain.

Happiness Part II

fredison — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 10:26:15 +0000

My little nieces are rapidly growing all too fast for me, one minute they’re the sweetest, innocent, little girls and then the next they’re on the verge of becoming beautiful little women with boys chasing at their tails.Â My last post regarding my nieces was on my old blog and it dated back 2 years ago.Â I blogged about how I would take them out every Friday night and we would just go to the mall and just hang out.Â That was in one part a form of my own happiness, just to be with family and enjoy their company.

Fast forward now to the present, and my oh my, things are just not what I had pictured.Â One niece has moved out of home and is currently living with her boyfriend. While another of my nieces is already halfway through year 11, but struggling since her parents have placed a huge amount of pressure for her to be in University and to study accounting when she finishes college.Â The youngest niece in the meantime is probably doing quite well and no doubt, I believe has a bright future out of the three.

I can’t do much but just listen to them talk about their fears, problems, and what they hope to achieve in the near future.Â Give them advice when they ask for it, such as how to deal in the 21st century with racism, and I thought that we as a nation, had moved on from phobia but alas, racism still exists.Â I’m probably acting like a father when I talk about this, but I do make them aware that the majority of guys in this world are just interested in one thing, and that’s sex.Â It’s kinda awkward for me to talk about protection etc, but they’re not stupid and as a result can be mocked about why I bring the subject up.

I look forward to how they will handle what is up ahead for them and rest assured that I will be there when the going gets tough, cause it’s what expected from their uncle Fred or in their words “Chu Vu”.

Sigh ….

There is no doubt that this is how you’ll probably feeling after today’s “surprise” lunch.Â Hope that you withstood it and it wasn’t too painful.Â Bonus points if you managed to tick my mum off like I do when I say random shite in front of her friends haha.
