When Caehl saw me clicking the www.philstar.com link, he asked: What's that?
Me: philstar.com, it's Philippine Star.
Caehl (amazed): You can (read) newspaper online?

Whatchama-CAEHL-it LXXXVIII
Caehl: Mommy, when you don't work, we'll have no money?
Me: Yeah.
C: It's only for today, Mommy, kasi holiday pa. Tomorrow, may work na.
(Ah yun pala yun)
C: Do we have money for full tank?
Me: Yeah. Don't worry about money.
(Naiiyak na)
C: Why?
Me: Because it's Mommy's problem - not yours. Just think about your studies, just study hard. Let Mommy worry about money.
(Lalong naiyak)

Whatchama-CAEHL-it LXXXVII
Last Thursday night, as we were cruising along Osmeña Highway, after getting the rest of Ate Cae's stuff from her dorm, Alex said, "Caehl o, look, the Jollibee there is open."
Me: Daddy, kanina mo pa pinansin yang Jollibee na yan.
Alex: Do you want to go home na? I'm looking for a mall, a place that's open.
Caehl: Ano ba yan. Holy Week nga eh!
Ayan, napagalitan si Dari :)

Whatchama-CAEHL-it LXXXVI
With Nanay Ev and Ate Doobs away until tomorrow, they put up their usual "No Load" sign.
When someone called out, "Pa-load", Caehl was bothered.
"Bakit nagpapaload? There's a sign," he said. "Can't they read? Bakit hindi marunong?"
I just told him, "Baka they just did not see the sign." Para lang matahimik.
When another suki called out "Pa-load", this time my son was prepared.
"Wala po. Nagswi-swimming!"
Natawa tuloy si Ate Cae.

Whatchama-CAEHL-it LXXXIV
Yesterday morning, I woke up with a terrible pain on my left arm. Must be because I usually sleep on my left side. The Ibuprofen capsule I took wasn't any help at all :( When I got home, I placed two Salonpas patches.
I didn't realize Caehl was so bothered. He couldn't sleep. Then, he suddenly asked, "Mommy, have you thanked God for the ache on your arm?"
"Why?" I asked.
"So He will take it away," he
replied. "Come on, say this after me: Lord, thank You for the ache on my arm. Please take away all the pain and absorb all the pain. O Mommy, you say Amen."
replied. "Come on, say this after me: Lord, thank You for the ache on my arm. Please take away all the pain and absorb all the pain. O Mommy, you say Amen."
This morning, as soon as he saw me, he gently touched my arm and asked if I still have Salonpas.
Yes," I said.
Nag-wo-worry pa rin siya.
