PASSPORT
For years, Mama kept on asking us what the requirements are in getting a passport. Tanong ng tanong, paulit-ulit pero hindi naman kumukuha.
Mama: Ano bang requirements para makakuha ng passport?
Me: Ayan, tanong ka na naman. Nakailang tanong ka na ha.
Mama: Ano nga?
Boyet: Birth certificate saka valid ID.
Mama: Ano bang valid ID?
Boyet: Passport! Hahaha!
Mama: Siraulo ka ha! Ano nga?
Boyet: SSS, driver’s license, voter’s ID, mga ganun.
Mama: Ang tagal kumuha nun e. Ano pa?
Boyet: Pinakamadali Ma, NBI clearance.
Mama: Anong requirement sa NBI clearance?
Boyet: Passport!
LQ
Mama and I had a misunderstanding resulting to a silent war which lasted for days. It was really just a petty quarrel. I would have not raised the white flag if not for my husband. Ako daw ang anak, ako daw ang magbaba ng pride. I started talking to her and things went back to normal. We didn’t talk about it, though. But yesterday, Mama and Boyet had this conversation.
Mama: Mababait naman yang mga yan e. Hindi ko naman sila pinalaking ganun. Kaya hindi ko alam bakit siya nagalit e nagtatanong lang naman ako.
Boyet: E kasi Ma, hindi naman siya dun nagalit sa tanong mo e.
Mama: Ah, hindi ba?
Boyet: Nagalit siya kasi sinabihan mo siyang panget. E alam mo namang ako lang ang sinasabihan mong panget sa bahay na ‘to na hindi nagagalit e!
Mama: Hahahahaha!!!
ZOE

That’s me with my three-year old niece, Zoe. She is the cute and adorable daughter of my cousin, Hazel, who also happens to be the mompreneur behind Funtastic Shop. Anyway, I don’t get to see her very often because they now live in Cavite. So what they do is they send us voice messages through Viber. Zoe is like a sponge. Ang bilis maturuan! Counting, alphabet, nursery rhymes, kahit commercials sa TV! But as they say, kids don’t lie!
Voice Message #1:
Hazel: Is Ninong Boyet pogi?
Zoe: Yes!!!
… … …
Zoe: Joke lang!
Voice Message #2:
Hazel: Hi, Ninang.
Zoe: Hi, Enang!
Hazel: Brownies, please.
Zoe: Brownies, please.
Hazel: Ninong Boyet is pogi.
Zoe: Ayaw!!!
Enjoy the rest of the week! =)
