(This may be your mother or both of them, nonetheless,
they’re both heroes in action)
(These things maybe unconscious or not)
1.
He taught
me how to dance- Just like in the famous line song ‘Oh How I love to dance
with my Father again’, it is obvious that our fathers bring the dance floor for
us. But before it’s too late, unconsciously they are the crazy dancers in the
family. They just do the crazy grooves and steps at the beat of MJ’s songs. But
when that specific song designated to play on your 18th dance, it is
particularly the most heart whelming dance you’ll ever had. Just one foot ahead
and he’ll take the lead.
2.
He taught
me how to ride a bicycle- First ever feeling of trying so hard to run a
bicycle? Feels like crap. Can’t do the balance thing, but he’s there to hold
the bike. Can’t run the bike on my own. He’s still there to make it run. First
ever feeling of having scars on your knees? And you feel like shit. But someone
will lend a hand and he’s up there smiling cause after all you heard that it’s
part of it and you’re doing good. And you feel like exhausted cause you’ve got
a wound bleeding and your dad said you’re doing well.
First ever feeling of riding a bike and you
feel like superman flying, feel like a jaguar for running fast, and feel so
strong and carefree. You feel like a hero. Then there he is waving at you.
Somehow you learn to manage to run the bike, thanks to him.
3.
He taught
me how to sing- Song pieces of The Beatles, Beegees, Carpenters, and
Scorpions etc. You just have to sing it and memorize the lyrics. You’ll have a
duet for some time. Then after a countless of rehearsals, one day you’re in the
stage and ready to be named ‘contestant #1’.
4. He taught me how to play a guitar-
First major keys, then the minors, then the flats, it makes my fingers swell.
But he’s the dude who always wanted to have a big jam back at home. A little
Hey Jude song would be the remedy.
5.
He taught
me how to play sports- Fathers, when it comes to sports are really serious.
They have big consciousness when it comes to sports—outdoor or indoor. They are
the ones who taught us to play basketball, that first lay-up, those first free
throws, and how to box out. They are the ones who taught us in their most dull
times on how to play chess, the big role of the Queen and the ‘L’ move of the
horse. They are the ones who sometimes played with us. Doesn’t matter if it is volleyball,
soccer, and football or even scrabble. It is just that they are fascinated with
sports.
6.
He taught
me how to court- In some guys you probably would say a big NO. But
unconsciously, your fathers taught you the big ideas on how to make a woman
fall in love to you. You may see the ideas of how your fathers treat your
beloved mothers, you may sometimes heard some quick tips or maybe if you have
the guts, you just asked them how. Whatever it is, they are the rulers in this
game.
7.
He taught
me how to love action films- Name it, Jean Claude Vandamme, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Sylvester Stallone, Jackie Chan, Mel Gibson and many many more. I just first
saw them when I was a child since when my father let me watch their famous
films. And no wonder I heard him shout sometimes, it’s because somehow, I also
loved the way it was done.
8.
He taught
me how to choose my best team- There’s this kind of cycle, that when you’re
child, you somehow also choose the team that your father most make the bet and
love to cheer at. You seem so amaze back then, on how he terribly disappoints,
once his team loses and how he greatly jump when it wins. But somehow, you also
choose the team he favored the most.
9.
He taught
me how to make a great coffee- Coffee is basically the basic beverage for
fathers, it lies along with a good breakfast and a trendy newspaper. Afternoon
would be like the same, except you’re the one who’s going to make the coffee and somehow you
learned the trick on how to make it tastes good based on how he likes—black or
creamy.
10.
He taught
me how to be myself- We, especially the boys look up to their fathers us
their heroes, as their idols, as their superman. We somehow wish to be like
them when we grow old, cause we respect them and we idolize them. As we are growing old, we learn to appreciate
the fact that somehow we are different from them. We can’t be like them because
every people are unique. We just take guidelines to them but we can’t be like
them. They just help us to know ourselves better and therefore, appreciate that
we are individuals and we need to be US.
