Tired

Rhyss: Mama, why do they have to ask you a lot of things to do even if you're work is already done in the office? Don't go there na. Let's go home.

Me: Anak but I have to go see him because we asked him to travel. I need to give him this so he can go also.

Rhyss: Why don't they ask somebody else to do it? You tell them, you have two sons waiting for you.

Rhyss: That's what I don't like in your office. You resign their now. You be teacher y lang.

Training at Seminar

Hindi naman porke nagtraining ka o nagseminar ka, alam mo na lahat di ba? Not everything is discussed there naman di ba? Bakit kaya pag nag attend ka ng training or seminar, feeling nila alam mo dapat lahat...

Or, are they just inggit, hindi sila ang recipient?

So what's next?

Power hungry. Forcing commitments. Fund from government? 

Yoko na. 

Market encounter

I met Jamie (not her real name) yesterday.  She's 9 years old and will be Grade 3 in June.  I met her in the market.  She approached me and asked if she can help me carry my stuff in exchange for something. 

Ate, ako na lang po ang magdala ng pinamalengke nyo.

Kaya mo? Ako nga malaki na hirap na hirap pa ako.  Mabigat ito...

Kaya ko po yan ate. Sanay na po ako.  

So I obliged because it was really sooo heavy.

Dalawa tayo ha. Ikaw sa kabila.  

Opo ate. Thank you po. 

While we were walking from the meat stalls to the vegetable section, I probed.

Alam ba ng mga magulang mo na nandito ka? 

Opo. Hinihintay ko nga po ang mama ko kasi po namalengke siya. 

Aaaa...tas sabay na kayong uuwi? 

Hindi po.  Maiiwan po ako. Magbebenta pa po ako ng supot e. 

Saan nagwowork ang mama mo? 

Sa Bakakeng po. (I thought her mom worked in the market)

So, mag-isa ka lang na nagbebenta? 

Opo, kaya ko naman po. 

Anong oras ka pumunta dito? 

Alas sais p0, nasa palengke na po ako.

Hanggang anong oras ka? 

Hanggang gabi na po. 

Asan ang papa mo? 

Patay na po e. Three years na po. 

Ikaw ba ang panganay? 

Hindi po. Ako po ang bunso at mag-isang babae. 

Ilang taon na ang mga kuya mo? 

10 at 11 years old po. 

Pumapasok kayo lahat sa school? 

Opo. 

Tinutulungan ko lang po ang mama ko kasi alam ko pong nahihirapan siya. 

Kaya mo pa ba akong ihatid hanggang sa Sunshine? Di ka ba hahanapin ng mama mo? 

Opo. Kayang kaya ko po.  Di po niya ako hahanapin.  Alam naman po niya ang trabaho ko.

Kumain ka na ba? 

Opo, kumain po ako bago po ako lumabas ng bahay.  

Ate, lagi po ba kayong namamalengke? 

Oo. 

Anong araw po? Sabado po ba? 

Oo, kung minsan Sabado, kung minsan Linggo. 

Ate, doon lang po ako. Hanapin nyo lang po ako kung mamalengke kayo. 

Oo, sige. Thank you ha. 

Salamat din po ate. 

And she left with a smile that made me think about my son, 8 years old, Grade 3, and watching TV.

...eating 3 slices of pizza...
...eating half of Red Ribbon custard roll...

all in a day!

Bakit?

1. Bakit may mga taong mababagal? As in sobrang bagal, daig pa ang flower girl kung magmartsa.

2. Bakit may mahina ang processor? Paulit-ulit mong sasabihin kung paano dapat gawin ang isang bagay, pero uulit-ulitin pa ring gagawin ang gustong gawin.

3. Bakit may mga taong sobrang mataas ang pride? Ilang ulit nilang sasabihin na hindi ka nila kailangan pero ramdam na ramdam mo naman at kitang-kita mo ang pangangailangan nila sa iyo.

4. Bakit ako pikon na pikon? Dahil siguro ako ay pagod na pagod.

5. Bakit ako inis na inis? Ewan. Feel ko lang siguro. Choice ko naman kung maiinis ako o magiging masaya di ba?

Christmas is the time...

I miss them so much...

I am so blessed indeed...
