Clash Of Languages

Amber: Where’s Mama?

Me: Mama is buying medicine.

Amber: M-meh-zin? Buy sha mm-mez... mez-de-zin...

After trying several times to pronounce 'medicine' the correct way, the little girl looked at me as if she won a lottery.

Amber: Ah, Mommy!! Buy sha GAMOT?!

 

Four Years And Counting...

Happy 4^th wedding anniversary to us! ^_^

Since it’s our anniversary naman, allow me to go back memory lane and share some pictures 4 years ago during our wedding.

I can say we had a simple, nevertheless memorable wedding in the afternoon of April 06, 2008.

Happy anniversary to my partner in crime, life and love!

The Crystal Maze

Magkakaalaman ng edad dito pero does anyone of you know the 1990s British game show The Crystal Maze? 

It was mentioned on a radio show kasi and I remembered I was so addicted to it that I had to make sure I was at home from school every time it’s aired.

I would even get mad at the players if they sometimes take too much time figuring out how each game works, eh feeling ko andali-dali lang. Eh ikaw kaya ang ma-pressure dun sa room di ba?

Here’s the first ever episode. Have fun! And don’t get hooked. ^_^

"Oh My Gosh... Sorry... Dugo"

“Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!”

“Sorry... Mommy, sorry...”

“Oh my gosh! Dugo oh! Dugoooo!!! Oh my gosh!”

These were what Amber said in between sobs.

She was playing and running around with other kids when she fell and scratched her knees.

Taken after I have cleaned the scratches, it didn't look bad but when
it dried up, the scabs were really ugly and left a dark mark on her knees. :-(

Naawa talaga ako sa kanya kasi it was her first time to have a blood-stained scratch pero I was trying hard to suppress a laughter at the same time. The way she said the words, ang arte talaga! Made me wonder where she learned to speak that way? Must be from the TV! Oo naman, where else? ;-D

After I wiped the scratches on both knees clean, she stopped crying but she kept on saying sorry so I reassured her that it was okay. That as long as she lets us clean the surface, the sugat will soon go away. ^_^

Random Things About Myself

Oh! This would be very easy! ^_^

1. I’m an only child. When I was younger, I’d say I prefer it this way. Ask me now and I’d still say the same. Haha! Selfish much? No, not for that reason but because I wouldn’t know the difference anyway. I enjoyed being an only child. It wasn’t that sad after all, especially that I met a lot of good and interesting people along the way who became my really close friends.  ^_^

2. Sa lahat ng ekonomista (read:kuripot), ako yung walang savings. I don’t know. I may be stingy with pricey costly stuff but I’m magastos naman with little things. Di ba, those little things when accumulated equates to a big spending na din? Ganun ako. I’m into murang gamit na super dami. Minsan basta mura, kahit hindi naman pala kailangan. Haay! Kelangan ko ng financial adviser! 8-(

3. I’m too trusting. L

4. I’m not confrontational. Although sometimes gusto ko na manugod but I can’t bring myself to doing that. Kasi iniisip ko lagi na whatever things I say, I can never take back. And I always don’t want to say the wrong things lalo na pag galit ako. L

5. I’m not a beach person. I like to go to the beach but I’m not looking forward to it. Bakit ‘ka nyo? I have never been confident wearing swimsuits! Promise, hindi ko talaga keri. I have always been uncomfortable showing my skin. Wala naman akong tinatago except from flabs, ewan ko bah!  

6. I can’t sleep without brushing my teeth. I can skip from taking a bath before bedtime or washing my face if I’m really dead-tired but brushing my teeth, never!

7. I don’t drink and smoke. Drink, I tried a few times but I never liked nor enjoyed it. Smoke, I didn’t even think of trying.

8. I only had 2 serious relationships. This and no.7 make me sound so boring! Eh what would I do, mabait ako eh! Hahaha!

9. My driving weakness is driving in reverse. My 2 minor accidents happened when I was backing up the car. One of them, I left a huge dent (as in it caved in) on a vintage-showcase-car’s fender. But in retrospect, I think I am better in back-parking.

10. I can easily and descriptively narrate a movie or a book I’ve read, from the beginning up until the end. In other words, makwento akong tao. But I never like speaking in front of a crowd. I will definitely stutter or make a fool out of myself no matter how much preparation I put into it.

There you go! 10 not-a-secret-anymore things about me. ^_^

Can I keep the award for myself muna this time? Pleasey-please? I know right, hindi marunong sumunod sa rules! Haha! Eh kasi, all my blogger friends have been tagged na. ^_^

Nonetheless, I enjoyed this award so much! Thanks again, Em and Jo! xoxo
