molar support

yup, islandbaby's molars are coming out, all at the same time! apat sabay-sabay.

buti di sya nilalagnat. pero madalas maglaway talaga at gusto lagi subo ang daliri. she enjoys brushing her teeth too. she wants to imitate me while i'm brushing my teeth. buti di mahirap... di tulad ko noon, naghahabulan pa kami ng papa ko para lang magtoothbrush ako. hihihi

i wanna grow old with you

last friday, there was an island-wide power outage (brownout!). it lasted for 5 hours. so the malls were full and almost all restaurants with generators were full too.

we decided to go to this chinese restaurant. yup, it was full to. but since we were suki there, the staff accommodated us. they told us to just share the big table with another couple. while we were waiting for our orders (which took at least 30 minutes to arrive), i was observing the couple we were sharing the table with. they were probably in their late 50s or early 60s. the just quietly ate there, while the husband was reading the paper. not a single word was uttered while they ate. while islandboy and i were updating each other on what happened to each of us that day at the same time, trying to feed islandbaby oranges.

then i whispered to islandboy: i hope we don't end up like that
islandboy (IB): what do you mean?
islandgirl (IG): we have a meal together but we don't talk.
IB: that will never happen with us
IG: i really hope so. i wish that when we grow old, we still like to be in each other's company and not just forced to be with each other
IB: that will never happen. we will always have conversations even if we are old

oh how i wish we don't become like the couple we shared the table with. i wish and pray that when we do grow old, we grow old together... don't get tired of each other... run out of things to discuss aside from kids... and continue to be the best of friends until our twilight years.

remembering

while driving back to work from lunch, bigla kong naisip ang alma mater song ng aking school from grade school to high school. let's see kung tanda ko pa... 10 years ko ring kinakanta ang kantang ito... ehem... here goes

let's sing a song for old st. john's
the school we love,
to us so dear
from loving hearts our song we raise
in joyous voices all may hear
God's blessings on st. john's, st. john's
for her our prayers, our love, our care
dear guardian of our youthful years--
to you we sing, to you all hail

the little plants of yesterday
have grown to be the trees you see
the children that were once with you
will be the nation's pride and joy
to alma mater dear we sing
the keeper of our childhood's fate
that though so far away we go--
we'll never stray, but e'er keep true

wow, tanda ko pa!

matagal akong nawala

at mas matagal pa ulit.. medyo busy lately. habol na lang later ang mga kwento. medyo magulo lang ang utak ko ngayon dahil sa trabaho.
