Monique and Andee: October 2009

Importanteng Sasabihin

As all of us are already working in different parts of the world, when I lie down, my brother goes online on his end. Yes, being in the call center industry for more than two years now, he has adopted the time zone in which they serve.

He's in Cebu. My younger brother. He told me that Andy wanted to talk to me.

conversation: "Tito Pol, usap kami ni mommy. May sabihin ako kay mommy."

So the moment I got the chance to call Andy in Davao, I asked her what she wanted to say to mommy. Well, being the kid in the house, "spongebob chair"

That was the most message she wanted to tell her mother. I was actually looking forward to it. I think I was not let down. I am happy. Maybe because she knows that I am here to provide for her.

~~mommy satisfaction level: 5~~

Do not use Doctors to scare kids

Andy has cough. (again, sigh). It probably was brought about by the bad weather in Davao.

Conversation:

Andy: Ma, Punta tayo sa doctor ha? (shows thumbs up sign)

Mama: Oo, mamaya. Kanino mo gusto, kay Dr Jack (her pediatrician) or Dr. Nalupa (our family Physician)?

Andy: Hmmm... Dr. Nalpa (she says things in short cut).

It's so unfair for doctors to bear the brunt of not wanting to be seen by kids just because parents use them to scare or make the kids follow them. So pinoy, "sige, pag di mo ginawa yan, dadalhin kita sa doctor!"

And it gives the doctors a very negative light to children, which by the way, they bring it on when they are adults.

Inquiry no. 1

This is my Uncle Jun. He's Mama's younger brother. He's so looks like my own Lolo, He was his junior (hence Jun!). Andy is his first Apo by his eldest pamanking, that's me.

I remember Andy was so terrified by him and his motorcycle. Now, look at them...

COnversation goes:

ANdy: Papa Jun, wala ka buhok? (sabay himas sa head ni uncle jun)

Papa Jun: Meron...

Andy: (Giggles) Meron?

Andy's Gag

Mama inis na sa kulit at kamaldita ng apo:

Mama: Ang kulit mo Andy, ipapabagahe na kita sa Mommy mo sa Dubai!

Andy: Ayoko sa Dubai! (with all the emotions) ... Kay Choi2x lang ako (referring to my cousin who lives next door).

Mama naloka sa kakatawa.
