Mystery Unfolds
Spoke to my Dad recently, and while interviewing him about his siblings, he revealed something that never crossed my mind: our family name was not originally Banaag. His father, my grandfather Luis Banaag, was born Luis Banog. Apparently sometime after getting married, he decided to change his last name, for reasons we will probably never know.
I thought it was just a misspelled name. :)

Severino Palermo of Guinobatan, Albay
I just had another lucky strike today: finding my maternal grandfather, Severino Orogo Palermo.
He was born November 1, 1926 to Francisco Palermo, 35 and Dorotea Orogo, 31, in Mauraro, Guinobatan, Albay.

Deeper Into My Family Tree
Since finding my Dad's birth record, I was more curious to find more about my ancestors. I guess I was lucky to find this marriage record here:

Plus Two!
A few months ago, we found out that my wife was pregnant with what will be our second child. Now it's time for some ultrasound, to confirm and make sure we have a healthy baby.
Then came the result, my wife's knees almost buckled: TWINS! And more good news, both are BOYS!
Thank God for the blessing(s)! Reanne is now a big sister, and my family is now complete.

Thoughts on Daddy-hood
Being a father is really the ultimate test of patience. A father of a two-and-a-half year old hyper girl, a lot more. Don't get me wrong, she's an angel. She's sweet, strong, intelligent, loves to laugh, always fun and jolly. She likes to get our attention and she talks a lot. She easily picks up on things an average kid would even have an inkling about. She's really special, that one.
But when she goes into a tantrum, I have to work hard not to explode. I know it's wrong, but I get angry. I don't know if I'm angry at her being so unreasonable, but I think I'm more angry at myself for not understanding. She won't stop until she gets what she wants, that at times I don't even know what she wanted. She'll just do what she wants. I tend to shout, I think because I'm frustrated. But then she gets scared of me, and she will ask for her mom. It breaks my heart that my daughter gets frightened of me. I really have to control myself, to stop myself from being a monster. I don't hit her. By God, I would die before I hurt my kid. But emotionally, I may be doing so. Hopefully she doesn't carry it growing up. I immediately apologize to her for shouting and asks her forgiveness, that Daddy loves her. Then I talk to her calmly, why I got mad, ask her what she wants, try to give her what she wants. It's music to my ears when she says "Love you so much.," and "Miss you." I crumble when she says, "Daddy, sorry." I always reply, "It's okay. Sorry din po si Daddy." Then we'd be okay, like nothing happened. But she still remembers, because sometimes she says, "Wag na galit Daddy, ha?" Shame on me.

Found My Dad! (In a way)
Nope, my dad didn't get lost somewhere.
I found his birth registry record from way back 1948, online!
While doing a "shoot in the dark" search online for any links on the Banaag family name, I came across this website that offers images of civil registry records in the Philippines. And it was a good find. Images of the records are grouped per province, town, and year to make it easy to search through the records. It has birth, death and marriage records. You just have to be patient sifting through pages in order to visually find the record you are looking for.

New Phase In Life
Family life doesn't look that hard. Does it?
When I found out my girlfriend was with my child, I had mixed feelings. I was happy knowing that I will become a father soon, but then again, I was filled with worries of plans for the future. It's not like it's just there and that's that. You'll have to prepare everything so you'll be able to cover anything that comes along the way. And that means ANY THING.
The house now seem too small. Where do we put the crib? Our room just have enough leg space to move around.
My work salary as it is already stretched out will become stretched even more. We'd have to somehow manage to survive in between pay cycles.
Being a family man still has its ups. I'm now excited to see when the ultrasound can be done. I can't imagine how it will be once my child comes into the world. And I want a boy. Of course it's going to be a boy. Why shouldn't it be? Hehehe.
Well, we just have to see.
