To Sir El, with love

One great man (read: Dr. Jose Protacio Mercado Rizal y Alonzo Realonda) once described his father as "a model of fathers."

I'm no Rizal, not even *this* close. But put this on record:

I can never ask for a better father than Mr. Eldrino Reyes, Jr.

Enough said. Belated happy birthday papa. 49 year-old guys are not suposed to pee anywhere, much less a swimming pool.

This one's for Tito Babes

Tuesday, March 23, 2011 marked the 32nd natal day of my favorite uncle (I have two). no celebrations of any kind for Cpl. Eldrino G. Reyes, IV 853763 PN(M) who is in Tawi-Tawi as member of the Philippines Marines.

Here's to the people in Mindanao who risk their own lives for the safety of others'. You all stay away from harm. You all stay safe. God bless everyone of you.

Happy birthday, Tito Babes. Come home safe and sound and we'll have a big birthday party for you...
