Don’t get all weird on me miss/mister! (Future "discussions" with my kid and/or kids)
You can maybe get a tattoo when you can afford one. (BUT at least not in the forehead or any obvious body part)
You then ask, “how about piercings”? With the conditions of getting rid of that particular accessory for a certain time; like formal gatherings, airport checkpoints, and job interviews then maybe yes. A no-no for implants, may it be microchips or silicone!
Take a practical college course in any school you want, if we (including yourself also) would need to work for it any way possible, we would. In any case, if you go for what you love as for livelihood you’ll be willing to starve for it just like yours truly. You will be employed only to develop your skills and you MUST have fun doing it! (I don’t want you get trapped as an underpaid employee) It would be an aspiration of mine, including your dad’s if you end–up eventually breaking-out from your employee routines doing work for hard/harsh-earned greens to a privately owned company; hopefully ours.
I would want you to use your allowed absence of leave wisely. If that means partying with family and friends, then do so! When I say friends, make right decisions whoever they may be. Live by faith and with the concept of grace. A bundle of cash or acts of random kindness would very much please our relatives in reunions. Let me warn you as early as now to watch your calorie intake (LOL), nah enjoy eatin’ with us ‘nak we’ll do tae-bo together!
Beware of credit cards and other membership clubs promising insubstantial perks. Learn to budget your money, it’s in our genes to be frugal. If not for your daddy’s nose, at least have the Ledesma’s skill in budgeting.
Baby, when it comes to love matters. Follow your heart, after a complete family background check of course. (Hehe!) If not mandatory in our kin, consider your Lolo and Lola. (You get the picture? Enough said...) Honey, no family is perfect, your dad and I try and attempt for a wonderful relationship that you would have too with your future children. “We love you anak”, family would always be at your side. ‘Coz actually the blood type that runs through your veins and heart supports my statement when I say,”you don’t have a choice, you’re one of us. ” …Big hugs from mommy.
