me and kuwaderno

Lotto is now online. They were offline since September 28, 2006 due to the typhoon. So what's the relevance of this fact to my blog? none at all...

Tin just returned my copy of kuwaderno vol. 3, and she just informed me that Eisha has found a new habit: she now has the hang of eating paper. yes, you heard me right. She likes to eat paper. My book has teeth marks on one of it's edges as a proof. Glad that Tin rescued it from those voracious but cute jaws. Again, Tin scolded her saying, "Anak, kaya naman kitang pakainin ng kanin, bakit papel ang gusto mo?" Tin, dalawang taong gulang yan, curious lang siguro kung ano ang lasa ng papel. Di bale, galing yan sa plants, organic. okay yan! (dodging a shoe being thrown at me...oh! chuck taylors! ung isa pa!! Aray! masakit na yun ha! Di bale akin na ito! Takbo, melai! Takbo! Hayyy! I just made my own mini monologue.)

Sadly, she left my 3rd bob ong book, stainless longganisa, and 2 of her Jessica Zafra books that she's lending me at home. Better luck next time...
