my pantanggal pagod!- One day my face turned serious as I want her to feel my authority by looking at her straight in the eyes. I signalled her to stop playing and throwing her CD's. She suddenly stopped then shouted, "Mommy, ooossrryyyyyy" then repeat it "Mommy ooorrrrysss".....my laughter ha ha (haay hindi pa rin tumama baligtad pa rin yong "sorry") From then on, everytime she feels that I do not approve of what she's doing, she would approach me and say "Mommy, shoorryyy (this time it's correct, with an "sssh" stress on the first syllable), then shower me with kisses
- When we watched Shrek 3, she always referred to it as "Eshk" (baligtad pa rin)
- We went to the arcade and she saw Nemo characters on a game booth and started shouting "Dooowweeee" (Dory)
- At the arcade pa rin, she would only play the mini basketball game (as in naubos pera ko kakaload sa timezone card)
- She loves watching the movie Charlie's Angels
- She says "my name is Nira" (then laughs...probably bacause she succeeded in uttering a a shorter version of what I requested her to say - "Indira"
- She doesn't want to wear diapers anymore (good!)
- She likes to be dolled up (putting hairclip, wearing dresses, wearing sunglasses) because that signals that we're about to leave the house and go some place where she gets to eat & play
For some reason, I just had a recollection of my life for the last 12 months. It felt good and bad.
"Good" because I'm thinking more positively now. Blame it on the tough situations I'd been through for the past 2 years, that made me realize that nobody would come to rescue me as I thought, no one else to blame (and even if there is, chances are, that person would instinctively avoid all the blaming and won't do his/her part to ease my ill feelings). In short, its my own-life-thing that matters now (sometimes you have to love yourself first, to think of yourself first).
"Good" because i still have the love of my life (wink, wink)
"Good" because I'm still in touch with friends and they still get excited to see me and hear my stories
"Good" because I can still enjoy silly conversations on a lazy after work rendezvous
"Good" because I'm still up-to-date with music (I would like to believe I am)
"Good" because I was able to reconnect with the "past"
"Good" because I have watched all feel-good movies, and found the perfect movie-watching companion.
"Good" because I am now singing with Rara (on the magic sing, Rara loves rock band song, pansin ko lang)
and.....
"Bad" because my badminton was somehow set aside (busy?)
"Bad" because I terribly miss someone (figure this out, I see the person I am referring to everyday, we talk, we laugh together, we had exchange of stories, and yet I'm longing for that person....naaahhh, maybe senti lang ako)
"Bad" because I haven't lose pounds (maybe i should start dieting seriously)
"Bad" because work has become boring
"Bad" because I have wasted time (always) surfing the net aimlessly
"Bad" because I haven't had a real vacation recently
"Bad" because I have watched too much soaps
Looking forward for a brighter year ahead. More "Good's"
