Pasko na!

We already put up the tree and started decorating the house for the holiday season. Tuwang-tuwa kasi si Caehl pag nakikita sa TV si Santa Claus, the Christmas trees and the lights. He always watches out for Karen Davila's countdown in TV Patrol, and shouts "Pasko na!" So I thought, magayakan na nga ang bahay para sa makulit na batang ito.

He even helped me with the ornaments, handing them to me one by one, while saying, "Wow!" each time. Actually, may casualty na - one of the gold balls. He likes to poke them para umikot, "Wow, it's moving!" Eh napalakas ang ikot, nahulog tuloy, nabali yung lagayan ng string (kasi naman 5 years na yata itong balls na ito, ayoko lang palitan kasi ang gaganda pa).

"Ayan!", sabi nila. Napahiya tuloy, he hugged me and whispered, "It's broken", and went inside our room to hide.

Ayan!

Havaianas overload

At All Flip Flops Alabang Town Center yesterday, my sister Lea asked all of us (Mama, Ate Pinky, Cae, Meg and me) to choose a pair. I gave up my "privilege" and opted instead to get Alex a pair of indigo Top. Ang bait noh! Actually, it ended up the only pair on sale, kasi ang pinili nila yung latest - metal mesh (1995/pair, white/gold for Mama and light gray for Cae, I'm not sure what Ate and Lea got for themselves), and metallic fun pin in black for Meg (1495/pair).

The best part - Lea spent almost 10K sa mga lokong tsinelas na yan hehehe Ang saya-saya!

P.S. It's Ate's 43rd pair, btw. Buti na lang din, same size kami ni Cae. Pahiram, anak, ha?

I like to move it, move it (Playtime with Caehl 2)

I’d like to believe I get younger each time I play with Caehl. Together, we would invent 101 ways to play a certain toy so we won’t get bored.

His favorite now is “Penguin”, a Happy Meal toy given to him by my sister Lea. It goes, “Just smile and wave, boy!” each time you hit it hard. I remember Caehl giggling so much whenever Lea wiggles her butt while singing, “I like to move it, move it (from Madagascar 2).”

And so one night, Caehl was playing with his choo-choo train (actually two remaining coaches from a train set, a birthday gift from a neighbor). He arranged the throw pillows in a way that when he puts the coaches on top, they would fall down and hit Penguin at the bottom. He’d go, “One…two…three…four…five…go! Start! Choo-choo!”

He did it repeatedly, and would get mad if the coach wouldn’t slide smoothly. Ang gagawin niya, ibabato na lang niya para matamaan nang sigurado si Penguin at para marinig niyang magsalita. This, while mumbling “I like to move it, move it…”

Ayus.
