vignettes

one day i was playing with my two year-old nephew. i was helping him build buildings and train tracks with the dominoes that i have with me at home. my nephew just loves those dominoes that he always asks for them whenever he comes over. so anyway, i got around to teasing him a bit. i held up a domino to his face and said, "this is a cookie." and then i pretended to eat it.

with all the seriousness of a two year-old, my nephew replied, "no, that's not food."

oo nga naman. 

where, oh where did kids' imaginations go these days? :))

===================

 my tita and kid cousin went to the casa one afternoon. my tita went to my house while my cousin went to the other house to play with my nephew. later that afternoon i dropped by the other house to check on my nephew and cousin, who were by now lying on the floor and watching a video. a few minutes after i sat down, the deluge began. i was pelted with slippers, toy submarines, tanks and even a potty; kicked on the shins and clambered upon endlessly by two energetic little boys out to get the monster. read: moi. well, this monster got back at those two naughty boys with a mega dose of the tickles and incessant growling, setting them off in waves of giggles and running for cover. ah, yes. there's nothing like a good quality time with my cousin and nephew. 

if and when God blesses me with a family, i want to have boys.  

===================

 it is rare that i do that "emote" thing in front of anyone, especially to members of my family. but just a couple of days after my birthday, i got into a mini-funk and told my mum that i'm already *toot* and i haven't done anything meaningful in my life yet.

her answer? "heto, o." ("here") and gestured toward the food i reheated.

a-huh-huh-huh! (laugh alla that jeepney horn)

so much for sharing what's on my mind. :)

bow.
