Hi Manany Chozene. Thanks for the questions. I’ll try to answer them as honestly as I can.

Chozene

HI Rod, (cute si chozene hehehe or acute) salamat for the honorable mention. I enjoyed reading your book of life….quite interesting…..clever smart….///thanks.
In our lifetime measurement is very important (words numbers has a major rule in building the world) How much does a woman or a man need in order to build a happy marriage or healthy marriage?///Hmmm….let’s see
Woman: (how much)
Love-dakol. my wife lets me know if I forget. I don’t get a pass from her.
kindness-all the time or all hell breaks lose.
patience-I did not stay married if I didn’t have patience. There were lots of frustrating times when we first started.
understanding-She calls me UNDERstanding with emphasis on UNDER(as in DE SAYA). Lolz
wisdom from above-I have to get wisdom from above or I would have been insane by now.
wisdom from the earth-I stop and smell the roses whenever I can.
Sex-If she ran out of alibis perhaps I get lucky.LOLZ
Money-I don’t even know what money looks like since I got married. Paminsan minsan ako’y nangungupit. He-he-he.
Time-She spends her free time cleaning the house or exercising her right arm at the casino slots. Ako naman ay sa GB kaya it all evens out.
Children-we are in consensus as far as our childrens welfare and future are concerned.
Men (how much)///Aber daw
Love-is just a four letter word. Minsan naghahanap ako at ang sagot ni Misis ay: “Ano ka, sinusuerte?” Lolz!
Understanding-Sabi niya ay UNDERstanding daw ako. Kawawa naman ako!
Patience-montik na akong maging PATIENT sa mental hospital noong nag-asawa ako.
Wisdom from above-kung wala sigurong wisdom from aboveeh baka naging PATIENTna nga ako.
Wisdom from the earth-gusto kong dinigin and wisdom from the earth pero hidi ko marinig. Marami siguro akong tutuli. Yuk!
Sex-When Haleys comet appears and Jupiter aligns with Mars then and only then will I get lucky. Ano ba naman ito Dios por santo?
Money-Sabi nya “My money is my money and your money is “MY MONEY”. Any questions? “Wala dear…wala”.Kaya ang taong nagigipit sa pitaka’y nangungupit.
Time-I owe, I owe, so off to work I go. Then, wash dishes, clean the house, cook a little, tambay sa GB. mow the lawn, trim, weed, fertilize, feed my koi, feed the birds, wash cars, maintain cars, work on my projects. Igwa pa daw akong free time?
Children-my prized possesion. Every meaningful thing that I’ve done in my life…I did it for my children.
2. If children is the pride and joy of a parents; what is the pride and joy of the children?-Siguro ang mga parents man ninda.We try to be a role model toour children. Now that they’re grown up, they are now returning the favor by remembering us during our B-days and anniversaries. The Cards we receive from them reflects their profound gratitude for everything we’ve done for them. We cannot be happier.
Happy New Year! 2009. Thanks!////Happy New Year din saimo Manay. May the New Year brings prosperity to you and your family. Mabalos!

Thanks for the question Chebs. Iyo baga, partners in crime kaming duwa ni Ding. Pighahalat ko nganing magdigdi sa San Diego para tukduan akong mag Balroom Dancing. Si Art dae pa nagbubutwa ta garo busy man ngunyan na holiday season.

chebs

Hahahay Manoy Rod partners in crime kamong duwa ni Manoy Ding pareho pilyo.
*Babala*…ang ginagawa ng matanda wag gayahin ng mga bata! nyahahahahahha =)
it took me few minutes of scattered concentration to frame some coherent question.I sifted through my questions for the most vital, and here’s what I came up with Manoy Rod.
How did you meet your wife? Please share us your love story.////Where do I begin, to tell the story of how great a love can be? The sweet love story that is older than the sea. The simple truth about the love she brings to me. Where do I start?Teka muna, mukhang lyrics sa kanta ‘to ah.
Chebs, I really don’t want to go into details about my love story. It is painful for me to even think about it. My wife was not my first choice.There is a woman somewhere in the Philippines that I owea deep apology tofor my misdeeds. I still love her after all these years and her memories are etched deep in my heart forever. Someday, I’ll make it a pointto ask for herforgiveness if it’s the last thing I have to do here on earth. I still keep her mementoes hidden somewhere to reminisce about our past. I just cannot let go or ratherdon’t want to let go. There are times in the midst of my solitude, I ask myself those “what if” questions?My eyes gets misty sometimes thinking about this love that should have been.My wife knowsit and she know my feelings for her but I reassured her she has nothing to fear. I’m devoted to her and most especially toour children.

Anyhow, to answer your question, I met my wife through a mutual acquaintance here in San Diego. We were just casual friends, we go out to eat and disco dance and one thing led to another….I got her pregnant. I played with fire andgot burned. Namangka ako sa dalawang ilog ika nga. I thought about leaving her but my conscience won’t allow me to doso especiallywhen a child is now on the way. Istepped up to the plate and accepted my responsibility as a father to my unborn child. It was a tough transition.There were times when we’re having heated arguments thatI thought about just tossing my hands upin the air and say “the heck with this, lets separate anddon’t worry…I’ll provide for the kid”. The idea of going back to myfirst love was always an option. Somehow I stuck around.The thought of abandoning my daughter andturning my backon my responsibilities sickens me. In the end, we compromised, made adjustments,had 2 more children and managed to keep the family intact. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary last May. As luck would have it, my eldest daughter is the one closest to me of all my siblings. We were inseperable since day one. Love it.

salamat po pala ta kyut man palan ako sa paningin mo Manoy. assuming you just had your recent eye check-up =)/// Siguro nga kailangani ko ng bagong salmin. Pero you’re still cute with or without my glasses. Peace kitang duwa.

Its amazing what you can achieve if you try.
