Silly Me

When I was about 7 or 8 years old, I asked my daddy (lolo), "San po ba galing ang juice?" We were in the car then thus I am not too sure if he heard me clearly. He answered, "Walang gumawa sa Diyos, Siya ang gumawa sa lahat." Ang lalim para sa munting isip ko, diba?! "Daddy, indi po Diyos, juice po! Pineapple juice po o orange juice!"

Why did I suddenly remember that? Reason being, I am curious as to why Chinese wear their costume during the CNY celebration. Pinoys won't be caught in red (unless sobrang fanatic) during Valentine's day. The Barongs and the Sayas are reserved during Linggo ng Wika presentations or during his/her/somebody's wedding. But these Chinese costumes comes in trendy nowadays, they even wear it in the office. Those with super high slits, those mini ones, those like pajamas. It's actually cute to wear it, darn it but I can't cause I am not exactly built like Zhang Ziyi. Now, I wonder if the reason Pinas is a third world country is because we don't feel proud of our heritage.

Oist, indi na silly ito. Anyways, thanks for bearing with this post. There are just some questions that pops up in my mind once in a while -- especially when I'm waiting for the clock to tick 6.

para sa akin masyadong formal ang national costume natin... tipong dignified talaga... parang mas ok na suotin sa tamang lugar at okasyon lang kesa sa pinanga-araw araw

Nyamy Nyamy

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

2015

Looking back, 2015 is a mix of lows and highs, of mourning and dancing... 2015 held lots of firsts for us.  Ate T stepped into the world of secondary school and became a teen.  Ate A entered the world of school politics LOL and became a double digit tween.  Of course, not to be excluded is our cheeky baby A who turned 1 year old. Though this is not a first but I turned 40 this year.  Life begun as they say.  But, for me, it was just a continuation of the life I am trying to live wonderfully.  Though most of the happening during the first half of the year were more on the highs...  We faced some challenges on the second half.  We lost Tatay.  Though we prayed for his comfort, we couldn't help feel the lost.  A few weeks after, Pre's employer closed shop.  One day notice and bam!  No more office to go to.  I always believed that the Lord always prepare us for the best.  Pre's job hunting was not as pai...
