Mind of a fickle

We were supposed to go to the Zoo on my birthday but Pre doesn't want to shortchange my birthday so he insisted on going the day before. All of us went and to our surprise, all of us had fun! Living near the Zoo, we dilly dallied. We alighted at CCK while I argued that there's a free service at Kranji. I was wrong so we had to take from Kranji to the Zoo. Upon reaching, we went straight to KFC to eat. Of course, my dear Bebi A had a blast. KFC fried chicken is one of her favorite foods. Dawter T had popcorn chicken and she didn't finish it. She was too enthralled with the surroundings to keep still. We were stuffed with chicken that we felt sleepy. Being the lazy warts that we are, it took forever for us to get started. Thank you to Pre's office, the adults' entrace were free. We only had to pay for the girls. When we went inside, we tried the Sea Lion show but it was already starting so we decided to trek on the way to the elephant show. There were lot...

Me : Bebi A, wake up! Time to go to school... Bebi A grunted but turned her back on me. Ate A : Bebi A, wake up! Let's play Wii! Bebi A woke up then went to the dining room to eat her breakfast! It's another school day! Hahaha...

Bebi A is not high maintenance. In fact, she likes simple things. She's happy if she'll be given an 80c bubble juice. Today is her birthday. She's now 4 years old. She decided not to have a party at school (and we couldn't have it as well because of H1N1) for reasons she didn't divulge to me. She just wanted a simple get together with her cousins and buddy, I. Her only request were loot bags and balloons. We indulged her with that. This morning she woke with a living room full of balloons. After her party, she asked for milk and when Ate A gave her one. They had this conversation. Ate A : "I don't have gift for you, what do you want?" Bebi A : "You can choose, scissors, toys or milk." Ate A : "Well, here's your milk." Bebi A laughed, "Then, that's your gift to me!" Hehehe. I want to smother her with kisses. I really wish and pray she'll stay that way. Innocent, funny and always have a smile on her face. Happy B...

I find her boyish and it surprises me when she runs to her ninang to have her nails polished.She would watch Ninang when she blow dry her hair. She never comes to me for these things. Because I will never be able to feed her imaginationwith lipstick, powder and nail polish. But, a few days before she turns 4. She asked for make up set and nail polish set. She didn't get this from me. I remember when I was already working. I had a pedicure, my nails colored with vibrant red (if I remembercorrectly?). When I got home (after a 10 minute walk), I took out the acetone from the medicien cabinetand removed the color. My daddy amused and watched me as I did this then made a comment, "nag-init ba mga kuko mo?" So, there goes my kakikayan. I was never a kikay. I was a tomboy growing up. As I have mentionedhere a lot of times, my hair gets a comb run twice a day (in the morning after bathing and in the eveningbefore going to bed). I don't wear make-up. I don't put on lotion....

But couldn't. So I asked around. Didn't get my answer until I saw Auntie. A brief background. When I came to the office Monday morning, my things were packed in plastic bags. It is as if they can bag the H1N1 virus. One of my pet peeves is when people touch my things. I am a bit of a messy person but in all that mess is my technical know how and my creativity! (Nicely put nyehehehe) So just imagine how pissed off I was to find it bagged, out of place. Auntie cleaned it, bagged it, sanitized everything as per the instruction of the Ops Manager. Grrr... Then told me she used up all my 3-ply special tissue. Another Grrr... Ok, ok... I am going to let it pass now.
