Back to giggling
Tita Deng-deng, ma out-of-tune doorbell named aunt is pregnant after all! We fetch’d her yesterday coz she wanna go wit us to Laguna. Along tha ride, she wuz contemplatin’ names for her child. Since both her & her husband are doctors, she wanna name her child sumthin’ scientific like flagella. She also came up wit bacteria names I can’t remember [much more spell]. I really hope she wuz just kiddin’. Can’t wait to see ma new cuzin though. Hurry up, buster!

Tha higlight of traveling at night: poster ads! Specially tha blinking, twisting, moving fancy light ads which us’d to be everywhere when I wuz a kid but had now gradually decreased. Last night, as we travel’d home from Laguna, ma fave aside from tha Del Monte blinking light ad, and all tha other electrically powered light ads were tha realistic lookin’ ads. Like tha huge horizontal Phillips fluorescent light and tha real car, which look’d as if it crash’d on tha poster ad. Among tha plain ones which diden have blinkin’ lights nor huge representations of their products, ma fave is tha Human ad that says, “I don’t intend to be famous, I only intend to be human.”

A conversation from not so long ago:
HIM: “Di ba ang mga magagandang babae laging may kotse and laging nakasakay sa kotse?”
ME: [jokingly] “Eh bat ako? Ala akong kotse!”
HIM: “Pano yan? Wala naman akong kotse, wala pa akong pera…[yadda yadda]..”
ME: Er..?
Hey… wherever you are now, I don’t need you to buy me a car for me to ride on. I don’t need your money. [I refused to let you treat me, remember?] I don’t need fancy schmancy things. In a short time, you’ve given me enuf to be happy about. Now I don’t know wut I need although I used to think I know exactly wut. You are gone. I am left uncertain. Help me grow up.
