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. I only have watch, earrings and my ring. Otherjewelries --- hmmm, I am scared I would lose them that I just don't wear it.
So, definitely, she didn't get any kikay bone from me. Now, I am off to Toys R Us. That's all will she be able to get from me --- Kikay-wise.
