This Saturday we went to the birthday celebration of Lolo Vlady my grandfather it's his 61st birthday. So this post is a tribute to and all the things happened in the party. I personally made this post because his story was so inspiring. And it touched me a lot to strive and to work hard to be successful in my goals in my current life.
In our family many of our relatives migrated in the stated and one of them is lolo vlady he lived in US particularly in The Big Apple, New York. He lived there for about 35 years i think. I've never known him that much since because he was in the states so we were not that close but his still a relative and an important person in our family.
his accomplishments.......
Lolo Vlady has accomplished a lot and I can say that he has already fulfilled all his dreams to sum it up he is a successful man. He studied in UST and he was #1 in the CPA exam. After that he went to the Big Apple to migrate there. He owned an auditing firm their in New York and he has this big clients as in really big clients like Tropicana, MGM, Universal Studious, Seagrams and i forget the others sorry for the memory gap I know I'm too old for that. anyway back to what I am saying... They call him Superman because of his hard work! He has two siblings both are also successful and both of them studied in UP. All of them finished their studies and all our successful even though their mother is just a public teacher who earns just only a small salary but look at now her hard work paid off. As lolo vlady said on his speech hard work is the really answer to attain the fruits of your labor.
the challenge in his life......
Lolo Vlady had an stroke when he was in the states. The doctors their said that he hasn't improved in the therapies and he will not walked anymore. And it was the first time that he was confined in the hospital so his feeling in the hospital was really sad and lonely. So they decided to come back here in the Philippines. At first he felt that he was a stranger here because he lived in the state for a long time. He continue his therapy here in the Philippines we also visited him. He felt the warm welcome when he saw his relatives that we are here to support him in his struggles. When I first saw him he was in a wheelchair and hardly can't speak. He said that he doesn't want the feeling to be sitting in a wheelchair and pitying him. He said that he made the right choice to come back here in the Philippines. He's recovery has improved a lot because of his great therapist here particularly in the Asian Hospital. He can now walked even without a cane. He also said that the therapist here are more better. His relatives also made him happy and support him a lot and helped him to recover. He said that the feeling was really different when you are in your true home. But they will go back to New York because it's there home. He will brag about the recovery he done here than doctors there. But sadly he said that this therapist I mean great therapist are now applying to the states for greener pasture.
what happened in the party......
They invited their closest friends and relatives. By the way I already used my new shoes which is pony!
back to what I am saying...... During the party I'm really shy to eat a lot even though I'm ready to eat a lot because the food was so mouth watering but I remembered I'm on a diet. So I managed to eat a lot even though I'm craving for more. So his closest friends and relatives greeted him with a speech. We also watched a video presentation about the life of the celebrator. There were fun games and chatting, chatting and chatting. In conclusion the party was great and it's worthy of my time even I have to at that time for my test on Monday and Tuesday.
