Says it all. And so much more.

Comma

I texted anak to ask if she wanted oreo strawberry cookies & cream ice cream.

She replied: "cookies and cream"

So, when i got home, i showed her this and teased her about making a choice.

She matter-of-frankly told me: "eh akala ko di ka lang marunong gumamit ng comma!" 

Burn baby burn. 🔥

Talking behind someone's back

Saw this today... Got me to thinking...

Delusions.

It burns. When one has set one's mind to getting what one has so loudly harped about and it does not happen.

It burns. When the thing one has been waiting for a year happens to someone else.

It burns. When one felt entitled and realizes that it was a misplaced notion. 

It burns, I know, but it is not an excuse to  find someone else to blame for your failure. If only you worked harder, took extra effort, and actually did something for you to deserve what you thought yoi deserved.

It was not taken from you. It was not yours to begin with.  Stop deluding yourself.

MMK

While watching MMK's episode about 3 siblings left in the orphanage, I turned to anak.
Me: "nak gusto mo ipadala kita dyan? (me referring to the orphanage)
Anak replies: "saan sa MMK?" :😂

Social media

I twitter.
I instagram.
I facebook.
I pin.
I etsy.
I blog.
Therefore, I am.

I love social media. It's not so much about people following me, it's more about me having a platform for my inane, mundane and/or insane thoughts.
I love being in twitter, where I can rant and spew my angst to the "world" without nary a worry that I will offend someone.
I love instagram, where I can post photos of whatever catches my fancy without the pretentiousness of the written word.
I love facebook, where I am taught daily the values of patience, tolerance and appreciation.
I love pinterest, where I can curse to high heavens without really having spoken anything.
I love etsy, where I imagine a world where the only things I do are the things I want to do.
I love blogging, where I humor myself with the notion that I am a writer-of-sorts.
Ergo, I find it short changing myself (and the legions of people who follow me in each web venue) if all of my internet-based self have the same content.
There is a different me in each one.
And I sort of love each one of them. 😉

Coffee Addict

Being enamored no end by Starbucks does not make you a coffee addict. Not in my book--- especially if the only thing you drink is cold frappucino. 😂

Snickers

So I got this text informing me that i can purchase snickers bars at P2.00 per pack.

I told anak: "uy, may promo. 2 pesos ang snickers!"

Anak goes: "yung shoes o yung chocolate?"

Nga naman. Malabo ako.

Scarred for life

Anak saw somethig that gave her goosebumps today.
She immediately declared : "I am scarred for life!"
She pauses, then continues: "Kailangan ko ng Contractubex!"

Text messaging

I texted anak to ask if she has homework that her "maganda at matalinong mommy" can help her with.
This is her very detailed reply.
