am tired, almost always tired.  have no energy most of the time, and am always wishing it’s night so i could get some sleep.  and no, am not pregnant, but am always sleepy…sleepy, sleepy, sleepy.
saw 2012 yesterday.  it was a freakingly good [...]

the hamster and the bat

this story is about mama hamster and her meeting with a big, nasty bat.
setting:  mama hamster was busy with her squash seeds and watching the tv.  second hamster was in the living room with her little son.  third hamster wasn’t in the house that time.
second hamster was playing with her son when she heard mama [...]

the three hamsters

there are three hamsters at home.
there’s the original hamster we call the mama hamster.  if there are people who love their junk food, mama hamster loves her squash seeds, and she’s deeply protective of them, too.  she buys three large packets of squash seeds and hides them from the other two hamsters’ views.  now, mama [...]

the petulant child

nope, not niko, but me.
really want to throw a temper tantrum right now, one that am so famous for.  but i can’t.
have many deadlines to meet, but haven’t started writing the latest batch yet.   will probably start tomorrow, if i could catch up with the poker news, that is.  damn poker news!
didn’t pass my batch [...]

am missing him…
every minute of every day that am awake, am missing him.  so much that it takes a lot of effort to control the dam from breaking.
miss his voice…miss the way he scratches his head…miss his smell…miss our morning coffee and yosi while watching cnn…miss his insensitive, careless remarks…miss his sometimes know-it-all attitude…miss touching [...]

banolization 101

…before leaving for church…
a premonition
my hand will probably pass through the gap, but my chubby forearm might not.  won’t be able to reach the lock then.
hmmmm…maybe i should just break open the window downstairs to reach the lock, but then again, that will probably give me more problems in terms of securing the house.
or maybe…
yep, [...]

kulasito and tiago…and soon, tega!

our boys…kulasito and tiago…little me and little mamae
soon…si tega na maluwas!

a stupid question deserves a stupid answer

me and tia caring while watching…ugh!…santino.
tia caring, watching santino talk to bro: “jing, who do you think bro is?”
me, shrugging my shoulders: “don’t care about santino…don’t care about bro.”
tia caring: “no, really…who’s bro?”
me, irritated: “it’s the same freaking banker who doesn’t want to show his freaking face!”
after a while…
me, thinking thoughtfully: “or maybe it’s [...]

his father’s son 2

if there’s one thing that gords and niko palpably share, it’s the fact that they have the same “habits” at night.
gords, deeply asleep…
me:  “gords, get up.  you still have to secure the cars.”
gords:  “it’s right here.”
me:  “what?”
gords:  “the socket where sir long plugs in his devices.”
me: “eh?”
gords:  “the socket!  the socket!”
me:  “wake up!  you’re talking [...]

and so he told me to take over

…sari-sari stores…
they are little stores, and when you compare them to stores like MC Commercial, they seem like a rat to a horse (in size lang, mind you!).  compare them with Robertson, and that becomes a rat to an elephant.  now, compare them to SM, and your rat becomes only a strand of hair on [...]

the control freak toddler

niko is being such a control freak lately that am sometimes getting kinda scared not knowing if it’s a sign of OC-ness or simply a phase toddlers go through.  it fascinates me and, at the same time, worries me ‘coz i know am a bit of an OC myself (see post quirks and oddities).
here are [...]

the harassed mama

the slipup that was mine
gords and i noticed that niko was having some difficulty breathing at night these past few nights, and he would often wake up irritated and crying that it would take us (gords mostly) some time to calm him down and put him back to sleep.  anyway, he would wake up, screaming [...]

the things you teach a toddler

it is important that you have to be very careful when you teach your toddler new things.  you have to choose the books and the movies that you want them to see.  and you also have to make sure that they don’t hear you swear or use cuss words, especially since they almost always absorb [...]

an update on kulasito 3 – niko turned masa

yep, my little toddler has turned masa…all thanks, of course, to our abs-cbn loving aunt, tia caring.  niko loves watching abs-cbn shows, and he loves the advertisements, too.  and yep, he recognizes them already.  he recognizes them so much that am kinda getting scared thinking of the things he’s learning while growing up.  who wants [...]

an update on kulasito 2

what’s worse than a very makulit and a very headstrong toddler?
a WALKING very makulit and very headstrong toddler!
yep, just ‘coz he’s already a little master in walking, he THINKS he can run and can get up and down chairs without an adult’s assistance.  he also THINKS he can reach those hard-to-reach places, like under the [...]
