freda marga ( ai en [ love and grace ] )

i have the most brilliant and amazing christmas gift ever in my entire life this year, my daughter, my baby freda marga. 

how to pronounce FREDA

in a time where i have settled my heart, mind and soul to be a single human being forever she came right away and change the course of my future.

freda marga, a name i have given her to pay honour and tribute to my late father alfredo and my mother melita in an indirect way. freda a similar sound to alfredo and m the first letter initial of my mother's name....thus freda marga came into being.


i would also like to pay honour and submit my utmost respect to the mother of my child, my wife, hui min. for bravely bringing freda marga into this world from her conception, pregnancy for thirty-eight weeks and till her delivery. that in her young age she managed to do a normal delivery...as the midwife always utter during the delivery " with all your might"...with all her energy she pushed and pushed until  we heard our freda marga's first cry. the very reason i wanted a chinese name for my daughter to pay tribute to her mother. AI meaning love and EN meaning grace. Ai En, fruit of our love and a grace from God.





in hindsight, most of my contemporaries already have their children that grew taller than them, can hold hands while they walk on the streets, can already tell what their children want in life...pero ako ay magsisimula pa lamang sa buhay pamilya at gawi ng may isang pamilya. i do not know where it will lead to but all i know is i know how to start, and i humbly welcome wisdom from another mother, from another father, from friends whom have already crossed the paths before me.

at her 7th year i will be 40 then and my life then has just begun...

at her 18th i will be at my golden years... and i hope that when someone marry my daughter i will still be around and walking her to the aisle.

while others ask for a baby in their lives, i was given this wonderful blessing when i have asked for it and it came in a time where i am of age, very much of age for that matter and i am ready emotionally and intellectually.

sino ang magsasabing may takdang hangganan ang pagiging isang ama o maging isang magulang. ang diyos ang nakakaalam ng hiling ng ating mga puso at ibibigay niya ito sa panahon na tayo ay higit pa sa ating kahandaan.

a child, a baby, is and will always be a blessing and i want to blessed with more......

maaring ang aking pagiging magulang ay nahuli man sa aking edad at nahuli ng simula. ano mang oras at panahon ay ang sandali upang magsimula. dinadalangin ko na ako ay gabayan ng panginoon at bigyan niya ng ibayong lakas upang magampanan ang habambuhay na responsibilidad na ito.

freda marga, i hope that the love we will shower you from now on will be the same love that you will have for us when we need it together with your mother.

you were born in the time that social media is prevalent and much utilized. it is nice to utilize it and spread the good things that is happening to us, become an inspiration and making history everyday. but remember, we will not choose a gadget, a media platform over a quality and precious time with you.

you were given to us before christmas and you are the most amazing gift to us. in time that you will come to know about this and  decipher what this is all about, we do hope that this would put a smile in your face. just always be the best that you can be. mommy and daddy loves you. merry christmas.
