Basically based on what my own parental units and I didn't talk about. Also, I must disclaim that it is not a "when I have kids" but "if I will have kids." :] Tee-hee. I still cannot imagine myself getting into labor, like crapping a bowling ball. Ick.

• Sex ed. Yeah I shall discuss the birds and the bees, regardless of the whole sex being a "taboo" in Philippine society, the lectures I will be given by my Aunts, previous Catholic school teachers, parental units, "adults or the elderly," etc etc and the possible commotion this will cause in the grapevines. I just think that if you expose your kid regarding this "phenomenon" early, his/her curiosity will be satisfied already, and he/she won't explore to find answers by himself/herself. Right? That way, he/she won't get the information from more dangerous resources such as the media and teenage "experimental" sex. Certainly no more "babies come from Santa Claus" crap.
• His/her talents. I will be supportive.
• His/her social life. I will talk to him/her about his/her friends, his/her acquaintances, and his/her possible bullies. In addition, I will also open that social standing is not important and shouldn't be worth the sacrifice of his/her happiness.
• Rules in the house. Like his/her curfew, allowance, extra-curricular activities, religion, alcohol/car/cigarette use, safe sex, etc etc. I want him/her to have a say on his/her parenting. LOL. Yeah, I'm serious with the alcohol/cigarette thing. I might even encourage him/her to do it; that way, I'm the one to introduce that to him/her. Hopefully, this will decrease the possibility that he/she will abuse them.
• Music, art, films, current events, literature, Quantum Physics, Differential Calculus, fashion, travel, spirituality, etc etc. I want to have regular discourses with him/her regarding any topic he/she wants to talk about. I will not snob him/her by raising the television volume just because I find him/her boring/stupid. I will, of course, share him/her my preferences (regarding music, art, films, etc) back when I was his/her age. We can laugh and tease each other about being jologs or corny or having tacky choices in music, art, films, etc. Not only will I support him/her to vices he/she may sacrifice for, though. I will also support him/her to his/her passions.
• His/her choices, decisions. Including, possibly, his/her future plans and his/her sexuality. I will be open-minded. I will suggest/recommend, not dictate or beg.

I think I'd rather have a son. Haha. Having a son means cheaper clothing and cosmetic expenses. Plus, they say sons always follow their mothers, so... :]
