The Tin Man Has A Heart

Wow! We're in! So this is the blog site that is all the rage for the Cabotaje/Lombos/Wlazlinski clan. Well, glad to be here. For my inaugural post I would like to give thanks and commend my very thoughtful wife for going the extra mile to surprise me for my birthday this year. And believe, surprising me is not an easy feat especially since I usually have my finger on the pulse of everything that goes on in my "house".
2 weeks before my birthday and the question is delivered. "Honey, what do you want for your birthday?" Wow, a present...something I want. I think my wife would be the first to tell you that she dreads asking me this question. My answer: "I don't know" Every year it gets worse, every year I am instructed to be excited. I'm either content with what I've got or my hobbies and interests co$t too much money...so why ask. After going through the motions of being and excited trying to find that one thing I wanted I came up with a very expen$ive watch (Strike 1), some performance parts for my motorcycle ($trike 2), so I blurted out "A new blade for my electric razor and some new undershirts." Then I told her what I've been wanting for a while; to be with my family. The perfect present for someone that goes to work, goes to school, do homework, be a good husband and cram some fun "man" time in my aloted time slot on Sunday. Kate along with the people I work with and the Lombos/Wlazlinski clan were able to keep things secret and surprise me. The whole week I was getting excited about going to the lake house for the weekend to take the boat out and go fishing since I thought getting together would be a very long shot. I was very surprised to be greeted by everyone when we walked into the cabin. And as it has been reported through the network, I was caught teary-eyed. The grumpy, serious guy has a heart afterall. What can I say...I hold my family very close to my heart and seeing them was just what I needed. So I will cut this note short as the sappyness is reaching estrogen levels. Thankyou to my beautiful and wonderful wife whos thougtfullness and heart are often great enough for both of us, my parents and sibling (in-laws included) who make up who I am and thank you to my peeps in Canada who shared my birthday (and my dad's) in spirit and by eating noodles. I love you all and keep you in my prayers.

i wanted to make a quick comment on kuju's last blogs...i thought they were very heartfelt and sincere...i just want him to know...and all kidding aside, for once...that he will be a GREAT father!! his daughter will totally be in love with him and only him for the next 16 years (lol)...i think for dad's, having a daughter is the greatest gift b/c the two of you have this bond that no one knows or can exeperience except the both of you...kinda like a secret club...it's a wonderful thing...i can say this b/c me and dad are very close...even now...i am 22 and he is still the best guy i know!! he is the only guy i will love for all my life b/c i know that he will never leave...i know that he will support me in ALL the crazy things i choose to do...even if he doesn't agree with it...like ya know, BOYS!! i can joke around with my dad and laugh the hardest with only him...even his corny jokes are GREAT!! in brief...my dad is the BEST and i am THANKFUL EVERYDAY that i have him in my life!! kuya jean...rest assure that your daughter will feel the EXACT same way...your a lot like my dad...and if your daughter is anything like me...you will be cherished!!

ok...so enough of that...almost got emotional there...eww...this library stinks of i don't know...a mix of everything...if i pass out you know where i am!! so please call my mom or dad!!

i am so delighted that the cardinals have chosen a new Pope...although there will be NO way that PJP II can ever be replaced i can only hope and pray that this Pope will have the same views and friendliness that PJP II had with all his people...ESPECIALLY the young!!

i have 1 week left of school...i'm getting kinda scared to start my "adult" life...i wish sometimes i can turn back time and start all over again...not that i would change anything...i just don't want to grow up...i'm scared...

anyhow, i will leave it at that...i think this blog is getting long...but i do wanna say...that...I LOVE LULULEMON!! please someone...support my habit (my shopping habit)...i need some $!!

Habemus Papam!

Pope Benedict XVI
