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

COOLIIT, ako pala si lit coo. parang iisa ang ating pennames ;)

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)

Math Matters

Dawter T called me up and excitedly told me that she's the highest in Math for term 1. So, I thought it was for their exam in Ordinal numbers. "Mommy, Mrs. T said, I am the highest in my tests and in my worksheets. I am 100 %!" Ok, ok, it's our first year in Primary so I am still a bit confused with the grading system. Then, she said, my English is good, but it's not like Math! That got me more confused! But still, I owe her a trip to Night Safari! Hehehe. *** I got home and found Dawter T's assessment folder. And lo and behold, it's true! I am very proud of my chicka! Hehehe (And Pre was even more than proud, for him, only Math matters hahaha)

Sunday Afternoon

We've had an adventure this afternoon. We ate at Pizza Hut and was very disappointed that they forgot to bring out our pizza. It should have come sooner but they made a mistake of bringing out thin crust instead of pizza hut. Pre had to ask the crew about it and only then did they informed us that the pizza was still 5 minutes away, and they were giving us some fried chicken for our wait. I mean, hello? We've waited a long time and it was not our fault and you only thought of the chicken after my husband marched in to your area to ask! We're not difficult customers. We're just hungry hehehe... Bad thing turned to good. The manager was Filipina and after Pre told her about our case, she said that Pizza Hut decided that we don't need to pay for what they have served. Fair enough. But, I don't think I will be coming back anytime soon. So sad. To cap our day, took some photos of the girls. Ate too conscious of her teeth. Bebi A, loving her yellow balloon.
