ㅤㅤYesterday and This Morning’s Recap, ㅤㅤㅤㅤand Photodumps. The trip out west felt like a whirlwind as Javíer, the ball of energy, kept me on my toes the whole time. After the ride back home from my little girls’ ballet performance, we had to say a bittersweet goodbye to the twins and my eldest son for the remaining week. Thanksgiving is calling, so is California’s coastline. The drive from West Lake to Nevada itself was no small feat with the boy keeping things lively, as always. Even when we landed and jet lag hit him like a freight train, he still refused to sit still or even consider resting, forget about me getting my much-needed sleep. Meanwhile, Jovíen, on the other hand, crashed with her mamma the moment their heads hit the pillow. And it was 2 AM Los Angeles time when the chaos finally quieted. I’m not quite sure how it happened, but everything went dark at that very moment. I guess fatigue knocked us both out, damn, finally! Couple of hours later, my short sleep came to an end when I woke up to the sweetest kiss from the most perfect woman in the world, it was the kind of kiss that never fails to send me straight to cloud nine. I smiled and whispered a very beautiful good morning to this angel in human form that I’m proud to call my wife. Then, there’s Javíer, true to form, already up and ready for an early stroll around the area. Thank God, the breakfast burrito I ordered at Huckleberry was a total smash and it lived up the vibes, so as their coffee was on another level. But of course, good meals weren’t enough for our little monster. His legs swung under the table, pure excitement written all over his face. His antics made me glance at my wife and we exchanged a knowing look with amusement dancing in our eyes. “Every day, I see more and more of you in him,” she teased. I couldn’t help but shrug and laugh, which set Joví squirming on my shoulder. Before we left, I made a promise to Javí that we’d hit the pier the next day, and that seemed to do the trick. He sat still for once (well, briefly), his face lighting up with joy. You could practically see the wheels turning in his head, already dreaming up all the fun and chaos to come. For now, though, it’s time to get ready for a big night with the family. And with our little ‘starboy’ around, it’s guaranteed to be a night full of blasts. ㅤ

ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤWith her, love feels like dancing in the rain. Effortless, freeing, and utterly exhilarating. She is the brightest sun to my day, the illuminating moon that stirs my tide. She is the whispers of dawn that light my way, a love so pure, there’s nowhere to hide. Each moment we share, I’ve devoured, the soothing thud of her heart, my fervour empowered. With her, love is no riddle but poetry in motion. A boundless flame and endless emotion. ㅤㅤ

After four years of silence, the crown has been reclaimed, and the monarch—once at rest—now stirs with newfound might. Time may have slowed, but the blood of kings never rests. The power that lay dormant has awakened, and the Kingslayer rises from the shadows, stronger, unbroken, and relentless. This is no return—this is a resurgence, a purpose sharpened by time and a will that cannot be stopped.

ㅤㅤㅤThe kingdom trembles. The hunt begins again. ㅤㅤㅤ– 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑

It is real nice to know that all the hard work Dreary, Ical, and I put into mocking you and giving you headaches hasn’t gone unnoticed. I know it must be a tough job but someone’s gotta do it, right? I’m quite glad it turned out to be you, rather than any other ancient wreck out there. But in all seriousness (or as close as I can get), thank you for being my one and only Ayah who doesn’t just play along with our chaos but somehow turns it into more laughter and appreciation. I know you secretly enjoy the times we drive you nuts because, let’s face it, life would be dull without all those banters, wouldn’t it? I feel genuinely grateful whenever I remember that I have such an old-ass cool father like you (complete it with all your terrible dad jokes).

Kids fill up every parent's lives with subtle gestures of love, care, and awesomeness, but what mine do is giving me a constant supply of mockery and headache. On this World Children's Day, I have come to realize that it is indeed the chaos and silliness they make in which I wouldn't trade for anything (well, maybe a full night's sleep can do). They are who keep me on my toes everyday, the reason my hair's turning gray and my coffee gets cold after an hour lecturing them in the morning, but doing all that never makes me bored. I hope they know how wonderful it is just to hear their loud laughters and nasty jokes, home never feel so alive without them. Joel, Xallisto, Dreary, keep being your wild and and wacky selves, never stop cracking up this old man with your endless antics. You little rascals are the punchline to my life.

This one is written precisely for the best team a family could ever have, my band of extraordinary kids. I could never have asked for a more chaotic and unique group than the one I have now. ㅤㅤEmmaline is the wiseheart. She is a gentle soul, thoughtful and calm, she speaks with purpose most of time. A charming sunflower in an exquisite globeflower field. ㅤㅤPrimrose is the dreamer. She is a sweet one, independent and self-assured, she is a stand out in her own way. A divine calm after each storms. ㅤㅤHans is the anchor. Reserved and resolute, his thoughts are often guarded, making him a hardhead at times. Yet, his quiet persistence does tell his thoughtful nature. A persistent oak in a forest of willows. ㅤㅤIsobel is the joybringer. She is full of positivity, easygoing often times, always unafraid to be loud and consistent. Despite all, she is mature enough to hold her own. A radiant rainbow after every rain. ㅤㅤBean is the wildflower. Though her emotions are mostly emo and unpredictable, she is fun, supportive, selfless and a true heartwarmer. An absolute pain in my ass. Although our opinions often clash, even so when your daily arguments and endless banter fill the air– I see a bond that is incredibly unshakable. It is crystal clear that each of you holds the strength to protect and love one another in your own way. And that is what makes me a father with pride and joy. Happy kiddo’s day, greatest champions!

Happy children’s day to my beloved princesses and strongest guardians. You are the light that brightens my world, the laughter that fills my heart, and the strength that keeps me moving forward. I wouldn’t be the coolest papá without your presence because every single day that I spent with you is a blessing filled that with love, joy, and endless memories. Gia, Cia, Jío, Javí, and Joví– you are my everything, my forever hope, and my greatest treasures. Los amo a todos mucho!

ㅤ To the father of my kids and fur babies, my husband, my best travel partner, my best friend and the love of my life, happy father's day, baby! Oh how lucky I am to be your wife, be able to watch every beautiful thing you done for our family for three and a half years now. I couldn't ever stop thanking God for set our paths together, making it as one in mission to live our happily ever after for the rest of our lives. Darling, I'm so proud of you. I'm proud of how our kids have become being raised by such a wonderful and perfect human like you. Your dedication to our family and to make our lives always be in this peaceful and happiest state will always be the reason why we love you more and more as seconds by seconds passes. And today is another reason to take you to one of memorable day in your life. Us two with our five kids and two fur babies being closer to the nature; a reminder how everything we have now began, a reminder how grateful we are to be in your embrace every day and every night. 🤍 #𝐄𝐑𝐎𝐒 ㅤㅤ ㅤ

Wishing my father a day full of adoration and appreciation today, just like what he's been giving everyday. He's been my steady guide, my mentor, and one source of laughter and wisdom. His constant presence has been the strength and patience in our lives whilst we strive for more. This one's from the oldest of the bunch and your chillest one; I'm grateful to have a father as fun, acknowledging, and genuinely cool as you.

Happy birthday to my João Felix and the greatest of all time, Alex James– my guy, my go-to shit-tossing, my soul brother, my absolute favorite. A man with a persistent soul and resolute dedication, a man with never-ending loyalty and burning passion. One year slapped hard; the upcoming year must strike with another of your greatest journeys, incredible love and support, and the bangers of your living. May every little good thing return to you as you have been the ultimate wingman for the people around. Stay in style, brother, keep on rocking the world under your feet. You are the man, the legend, the myth!
