Many people are shocked when they find out that I preferred to be called Tito by my nephews and nieces. It's really not much of deal. I just like it that way. But upon thinking about, I think I know why.

Hmmm... I guess I am still a male figure in the family. I'm still the younger "brother" and that corresponds to being the Tito for my nephews and nieces. It doesn't bother me at all since I don't want them to be confused. I'm all for the gender identity thing, but I want my nephews and nieces first to learn the differences between male and female are before they explore the complexity of my sexual preference.

Think of it like this, I want them first to learn one plus one before I teach them how to solve the square root of nine-four-nine-point-seven-five plus the cube root of one-zero-four-point-six-three all over forty seven.

I am my own identity and I'm sure they have there own version of what my identity is for them. Probably, the tito who tutors them in their english, math, and science subjects.

Buses and Trains
by Bachelor Girl

kakaloka yung nangyari kanina! May Bachelor girl moment ako may mother dearest! Mega lafang lang ako ng lunch. Tapos sumabay na ang aking mudak sa pag lamon. Haru! ewan ko ba kung anung nag-udyok sakin. Pero nasabi ko nalang...

hey mom... wala na si angel...

Tapos ayun, para akong matutina na nagkwento mula umpisa hanggang dulo. Napakilala ko kasi si Angel sa parents ko nung nag-inuman kami sa bahay. Niexplain ko lahat. Parang chinichikka ko lang ang lovelife ko sa kanya. Tapos ayun, sinabi ko sa kanya kung bakit nung mga nakaraang linggo, irritable ako, madaling magalit, at laging nagkukulong lang sa kwarto. Sinabi ko sa kanya na umiiyak ako gabi gabi kasi lungkot na lungkot ako. Nakinig lang sya hanggang huli. Naloka ang dyosang ito ng magbigay ng comment finally si mudak!

di mo kailangan yung mga ganung klaseng tao sa buhay mo...

Ay! Award si Mudak! My thoughts exactly! At humirit pah!

wow! ang bunso ko naiinlove nah!

Ay nako mudak! maraming beses nah! hindi ko lang sinasabi sayo! whahahah!!!

Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha

I finally was able to watch the battle between the two brothers, Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha. My gosh! I cried horribly during episode 141 when Madara is narrating the true story behind Itachi's conquests. In the end, he did everything for the sake of his little brother. Even at the expense of his own reputation. Kalerkaley!

The episode inspired me to write about my own big brother. I don't know. I just had the urge to write about it. Maybe I am not too vocal of what I really feel towards him, or towards his actions. But my hands are itching to type what I'm thinking! hihi! I have two big brothers (actually three if you count the other one). The one I'm pertaining to is the one whom I followed, the one who is now a doctor.

The earliest memory that I have of my big brother is in our kitchen sink. I was sitting on top of the lavatory, while he was standing in front of me. I don't remember what age I was when this happened but I remember him brushing my teeth while singing "Pasikot sikot tatsulok". He was doing round motions with the toothbrush. This is also the 1st time he showed me how to gargle. Of course, I remember that I wasn't able to do it and he was laughing like mad.

I used to play indoor games with him along with our Big sister. The games that we played together if I remember correctly are: Dominoes, Uno Cards, Millionaires Game, Dama, and Jackstones. I really really remember that we played jackstones because he is very talented in the exhibition part! I swear!

There are two instances that I remember that I celebrated my birthday with him as kid. The 1st one is actually the 1st time that I met his then girlfriend (now his wife). We watched the animated movie Hercules in Tutuban Silverscreen. The 2nd one is when they took me to Dreamscape in Robinsons Galleria where they paid for my Ride-All-You-can pass.

But being his brother is not always that happy. I actually grew up in his shadow. People had the notion that since he took up medicine, I will as well. Since he is the best, they expected me to be the best too. Maybe that's the reason that my parents where strict when I was a kid when it comes to academics. I was forced to excel because I need to be at par with my brother. Well, sorry for them, but after I hit puberty they can't force me to do what I don't want to do. I knew what I want, I have moral standards and I know how to take care of myself, uhmm.. sometimes! whahaah!

I find it very funny that when I do something stupid, my big brother is usually the one to take me out of it. Like when I skipped my PE class during my one year of stay in UST Pay High. Also, I think he's my mom's secret weapon when I'm being stubborn. She usually asks him to talk to me. Yep, and I usually listen. Usually. Wihi!

The only time that I remember that I cried because of my Big Brother was not too long ago. When he finally confirmed that I am a homosexual, I felt as though he rejected me. Maybe he wasn't expecting to confirm it or what, I just felt that he had a change of heart. There was this instance that I thought that he doesn't want me near his kid in the fear of infecting his son. I think I cried myself to sleep that night if I remember correctly. Well, that's the past. I don't feel that right now and I'm certain that he doesn't feel that way now.

Things that my Big Brother taught me

• Never Litter - there was this time that I threw a candy wrapper in a pile of trash, he scolded me. He said that it's already dirty, why would I make it dirtier (by simply adding another candy wrapper).
  
• Think outside of the box - He answered the word problems in my algebra book when I was in high school. He said it was his favorite topic in algebra, and he showed me some techniques too!
  
• Never let anyone dirty your name - if you need to fight then fight for it. As long as you will fight with dignity and without malice. Yeah, I followed this, that's why I didn't let those political backstabbing stop me from being who I am.
  

Yeah. I'm his little brother. The cry baby no more. But still as stubborn as ever! hihi!!!

Last night while I was busy reading The Associate by John Grisham, I suddenly remembered a cousin of mine. She suddenly struck my mind because for some unknown reason I remembered that June is her birth month. I smiled, but quickly frowned, because I know, I can't talk to her anymore. she's already gone...

Melissa De Guzman, or Isang as we normally call her, is not just a cousin for me. She's was my 1st friend, my protector, my partner. While I was busy being the crybaby, she was busy being the shield for me. She was always the braver one, the louder one, the confident one which is opposite of me, the shyer, the less-confident, the pusong-mamon one. All my pictures when I was little would either be I am a baby or I had a picture with her. Since we were of the same age (we are both born on 1988 she was in June and I'm a month after), we are sort of twins, we had matching jackets. Matching smiles. We even have a picture where we are abays in a wedding. We were partners there too!

We used to play at the De Guzman compound. sometimes we play at their house or ours. She was always a playmate for games like piko, ten twenty, part one, part 2, jump rope, paper dolls, pog, text, etc. We even devised our own game that we called Ten-Twenty 2. She was the one who taught me, although not properly, do a cartwheel. This because it was part of the game chinese garter.

During the puberty stage, I became even shyer and didn't go out even to play. I normally come out when I was doing an errand or simply going to school (the effect of having cable TV!). That's the time where we went our separate ways. Our communication officially severed when we entered high school. I entered UST Pay High, her... I don't know. When I was kicked out from UST Pay High, I heard she got pregnant. That's the De Guzman Hormones for you! After that, I just see her during occasions like Xmas, Lolo's Birthday, or New Year's celebration where she usually hold a patpat with a katol at one end for lighting 5 stars. And Oh! I'm a god parent of her "son".

One distinct trait that I remember of Isang is her love for dogs. I remember one time when we are both asked to be godparents to one of Ate Chat's son (i think its onse), the jeep that we were riding ran over a dog. She almost cried when she heard the hurtful cries of the dog. I wanted to show of by stating the names of her dog but I'm sorry I'm not good with names. But I think there was this dog named Fritz?

I found out that she's gone when my mother walk in my room and called my Ate Grace to tell her the news. I was up all night with a friend during that time. I was of course shocked. Hello? we are the same age! how can someone our age die? But when her body arrived, I had no choice but to believe it. I heard Ate Lemon did her make up and gave her her gown.I refused to see her and go to her wake. I was afraid I will cry. But when I finally had the courage to walk up to her coffin, Tita Marie went with me. I looked at her lengthwise, then smile and said, "Nagmumura naman yung bulaklak ni Isang! Minumura ako eh! Pink ako!" and we laughed. It gave somehow a small smile in a mother's grieving heart.

I still didn't cry. I didn't even cry when she was cremated, maybe I was still oblivious of the fact that she moved on already. Despite all the negative chikas I heard about her,I still think that she is that sweet little girl I used to play with. It's just that, she just chose too soon, and the effect of alcohol in her blood is too much. If there would be a chance that I would be able to talk to her, I will tell her how much I care for her and don't she worry, I'll love her "son" as much as she would want to.

Napagdiskitahan namin ni Mudra yung coffee na bigay nung balae nya sa Kuya doc ko. We brewed a big pot of coffee! Ang sarap! Sobra! Tapos dumating si Kuya doc sa house after coming home from India. May dalang pasalubong cheese potato chips and savory banana chips. Grabeh! ang anghang! Ganun ba ang foods from India?



Kamusta naman yung flavor? Chilly! Eh ang anghang nga eh! whahhahahahha!

Indian Pana kakana kana!!! Wahahahah!

Pareho kami ng suot ng dad ko. Nagulat ako nung nakit ako yan! feeling ko tuloy magkamukha kami. Nashock ako eh!

Ate Grace with the Little Debutante, Nicole

Ang pamangkin kong si Nicole, na anak ng kaisa-isahang ate ko ay 7 eyars old na nung May 10, 2008. On that same day, ginanap ang 7th birthday party nya sa covered court ng Holy Child Catholic School (Alma Mater namin parepareho!). Well anyway, ako yung Emcee nun. Kaso yung crowd hindi naman nakikinig. Hindi ko naman sila masisi, because after all, it's a children's party!

Even though we had a rough night, dahil andming aberyang nangyari. Si Nica ayaw magsmile. Ang gugulo ng mga bata. Yung caterer nalate, yung food nagkulang. Yung ibang mga participants sa programme, nagpapasaway, nagpalate! Kainis! Well anyaway ta least tapos na yun. OK na yun. Basta ako tapos na yung gawain ko dun.

De Guzman

Introduction
Ayan, Oli, Mapagbibigyan ko na yung hiling mo so long time ago, magsusulat ako tungkol sken. Sana basahin mo at magustuhan mo ok? Ang De Guzman family na makikilala nyo ay tubong Tondo, Manila. At sa kasalukuyan, dito pa rin kami nakatira sa Tondo. Medyo malaki-laki din ang populasyon namin sa may sa amin.


Click to enlarge hanapin nyo ako!

Syempre ang ikwekwento ko lang yung family namin from my dad na.

Pudra
Ang full name ni Pudra ay Roberto Fojas de Guzman Sr. pero most people would call him "Tate". Sya ngayon yung incumbent Barangay Captian namen. Kakapanalo lang nya ulet. Natalo sya nung last last elections. Well honestly alam namin na nagkabayaran but we still didn't fret. After nun, parang nagkaron ng curse yung Captain post. Kasi sunod sunod na namatay yung mga Barangay Captains who succeeded my dad. Eh kahit kami parang nachorva dun ano! Pero kahit na hindi sya nanalo, samin pa din lumalapet yung mga tao. Ang kakakapal nga nung mga mukha, matapos magpakasilaw sa pera nung election na yun, samin hihingi nang tulong, I was always tempted to shout: "Bat di kayo dun sa binoto nyong chairmarman kayo humingi ng tulong?". Time space warp! Ngayon din! Kwento saken ni Mudra, nung bata pa si Pudra, lagi syang nag-iigib ng tubig. From Pacheco to then our lolo's house, just to give you a picture, Pacheco is from Engineering building to the church. Sabi nga ni mom mga 8 times pabalik balik na ganun si dad. To the point na nagkaluslos na si dad. Grabeh iyakan kami ni mudra nun. Fast forward ng konti, ang business talaga namin ay Smoked fish aka Tinapa! Saken pa nga pinangalan yun eh. Wilbert's Fish Dealer! Kaso through the years, bumagsak na yung business na yun. Pero infairnalou, hindi ako nahihiya na tinapa ang business namin, I would proudly say it to anyone, because tinapa ang nagpakain at nagpaaral sa akin. Ever since I was a kid, until this January, sanay na kong hindi natutulog sa bahay si Pudra. Dati kasi dun sa kamalig namin sya natutulog, nung malakas pa yung tinapa. Tapos nung nagshut down na yung industry, nagtayo kami ng sari-sari store dun, yun nman yung binantayan nya nun, until nagbakasyon yung ninang ko na kasosyo dun sa business na yun, kaya naclose yung tindahan nang matagal. Ngayon even though bukas na ulet yung store, yung kinakapatid ko nang si Ate Lerma yung nagbabantay dun. Kaya sa bahay na natutulog si dad. =D.
Ang routine ni dad araw araw, aalis ng madaling araw hindi ko din alam kung san sya pumupunta. Uuwi yun ng mga 12nn para kumain ng lunch sa house. Tapos magyoyosi, then matutulog sa sofa habang nakikinig ng radyong ubod ng lakas! As in malakas talaga! Pag nakatulog na sya tapos sinubukan mong hinaan yung radyo, magigising yun! Baliktad nga yun. Duringmy childhood years, sabihin na nating hindi ko masyadong nakakpiling si Pudra. Nung elementary ako, whole day yung klase ko. So hindi ko talaga sya nakakasama, tuwing weekends sana. Eh kaso lagalag ako tuwing hapon nagteten-twenty o kaya nagpipiko ako sa labas with friends. Siguro kaya naging ganito din ako dahil wala akong kasamang boy sa house.
Alam nyo ba mas fashionista pa saken yung dad ko? Mas marami pang damit saken yun. Well I understand naman, kasi nga, hindi naman nya kasi naranasan yun nung bata sya. Kaya ok lang. Meron yung designer pants, ako nga 2 lang yun marami. Mga polo nun superb class! Kaloka! Tapos yung salamin namin na fashionista talaga! Wai ako masabi kay Pudra! Nagpapakabanal din yun eh. Mataas na yung post nya sa Knights of Columbus Tondo Chapter. Ewan ko ba pano sya nakaakyat sa ladder eh busy naman yung lokong yun.
Ay eto bonus! Nakita ko si Dad sa isang movie! Yung movie ni FPJ na Pitong Gatang (which is the name of the street that we live in) ginamit nila yung kamalig namin before for shooting some scenes. Ayun nakita ko yung likod ni dad! whahahahaha!

Mudra
Si Mudra ay tubong Aklan. Ang buong pangalan nya ngayon ay Welita Nicolas De Guzman. Pumunta sya dito sa Manila with her sister Tita Lolit para makipagsapalaran. Sa kabutihang palad. Nakapasok sila as maids sa De Guzman household. Ayun! At dun na nagsimula ang love story nila ni Daddyow! Sabi nga ni mom, tinanan daw siya ni dad. Ang sabi magdedate lang daw sila. Manonood ng sine sa Recto (Sabi ni mom, bonggacious pa daw ang Recto nun, yun ang SM nila nun wala pang mga shokpok dun), eh yun pala sinakay na si Mudra sa bus patungong Pangasinan (Where majority of our clan originated). They stayed there daw ng 2 weeks. Possibly baka dun na nabuo si Ate. Nyahahahahah! Si Mudra, away bati kami nyan eh. Marami kaming pinagkakasunduan nyan. Primarily because sya yung lagi kong kasama sa bahay. Pareho kaming certified Kapuso! Masarap magluto si mom, ako ang critique nang mga niluluto nun. May ibahin lang sa recipe nun alam ko agad! Kunwari walang gabi sa sinigang, walang kalabasa yung siopao, yung mga ganun napapansin ko kya pepestehin kyo sya ng tanong kung baket kulang nang ganito, bakit may ganyan and everlou. May time nung elemetary ako, hindi ako pinapalabas ni mom nung bata ako, alam nyo kung baket? Dahil hindi daw perfect yung score ko sa exam! Naloka ako nun! I have an excerpt of that memory! Brownout nga samin nun nung nagdramahan kami! Ang ayoko lang kay mom eh she treats me na bata pa rin ako. Well, siguro bunso ako. Pero Dyos me! Magbebente nako! Sus miyo! BTW, nakapagtapos nga pala si mom ng tailoring. Kaya ang loka kung gumawa ng kurtina, kay ganda! Kaso puyat ako lagi pag gumagawa sya ng kurtina eh. Ang ingay nung sewing machine nya! Right now sya yung president ng Catholic Women's League Tondo Chapter. Big time ang lola mo! Paseminar seminar pah! Wahahahahaha! Bonus! Ang Mudra ko may asim pah! At the age of 56, nireregla pa ang lola! Antaray!

Ate Grace
Si Ate Grace, ang panganay, bow. Her fullname now is Grace de Guzman delos Santos. Asawa niya si Kuya Noel. (Trivia: Kapatid ni Kuya Noel si Kuya Frandy, yung drummer dati ng Jeremiah) May anak na sila, si Nicole. Si Ate Grace, wala naman akong masasabi dun kundi, nahihingan ko ng panglakwatsa yun! Wahahahah! At tsaka dati nung sa bahay pa sya nakatira. Lagi akong may pasalubong. Naalala ko uso pa yung pager nun. Lagi akong nagpepage sa kanya. Alam mo naman bata, syempre makulit! Nyahahahaha! Right now, sya yung Head Nurse sa clinic ng Medicard sa UN. Pero minsan nagooffice sya sa Main branch sa Makati. Medyo wala akong ma-say kasi nga ang layo ng agwat namin, were different generations nah. Nung pinanganak ako 17 na siya. Almost two decades na yung agwat namin anoh! Uso pa nung time nya si Tiffany, wholesome pah. eh ngayon si Britney Spears, nude photo drugs sex and everything. Diba? totally anlayo na talaga! But I do remember na una akong nakasakay ng LRT with her, dahil dinala nya ako sa office nila before (Hindi pa uso medicard nun). 1st ever Glorietta, and many things na pambata na naexperience ko dahil kay Ate. Add ko lang, parang kung henerasyon ngayon yung pattern, pwede na nya akong maging anak! Whahahah!

Kuya Oliver
Si Oliver Nicolas De Guzman, ang unang unang nagasawa. Asawa nya si Ate Mayeth at may apat na silang anak: Si Mariel, Si Marnelli, Si Mark, at si Margaret. Hindi na nakatapos ng high school si Kuya. Sabi ni mom, basta sinabi nalang daw sa kanya ni Kuya na ayaw na daw niya magaral. Eh madali naman kasing kauspa ni mom ano. Hindi ko na nakagisnan na sa bahay nakatira si Kuya. Dahil binigyan na sila nang asawa nya ng space ng parents namen. 5 years lang ang tanda ko sa panganay niya. Tapos sunud sunod na yung mga babies. Nakakaloka nga eh. Eh to think wala naman syang tinapos. Ay meron pala! Nag-aral sya maging seaman! Kaso ang gago takot naman iwan ang pamilya nya. Pero ok na rin yun. Kung eto ngang malapit sya sa pamilya nya, nagawa nyang mambabae, pano pa kaya pag napalayo sya? As of now, nagtatrabaho sya sa Manila City hall as ewan ko.. I lost track na kung ano gawain nya dun.

Kuya Argie
My closest brother, Mr. Roberto Nicolas de Guzman, Jr. Masasabi kong he's the best sa aming magkakapatid. A consistent honor student from Elementary to high school. He joined and won many intra- and inter-school competitions. Graduate sya ng UST-Pay High School. He has a degree in Medical Technology and he took up Medicine also in UST, right now, a doctor in UST Hospital, Metropolitan Hospital, Perpetual Succor Maternity Clinic, and St. Luke's General Hospital. Grabeh. Ewan ko ba sa kuya kong yan. Hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin tapos mag-aral. Not that his failing or something. Andami nya kasi talagang pinag-aaralan. Oh Well.
Time Space Warp! Ngayon din! Si Kuya Argie yung sinundan ko. Pero High School na siya nung nabuhay ako sa mundo. 13 years old sya nun. Kwento sken ni Mudra. Nagselos pa daw sken ang kuya kong iyan. Understandable naman kasi, 13 years na tinuring syang bunso, at tapos biglang dumating ang dyosa sa mundo. Sino naman ang hindi magseselos ano? Wahahahah! basta kwento ni mom, may script pa si Kuya na: "Oh yung anak nyo umiiyak!" Wahahahahah! Hormones! Wahahahaha! Pero he got over that and became my big brother. Sa kanya talaga ako close. Dito naman kay kuya Argie yung mga first time na pangpre-teener. Magmall mag-isa, maging member ng isang arcade and the like.
Ay may naalala ako! Mga Grade 3 siguro ako nun, mga 9 years old. Si Kuya mga 22, nagtetake na sya ng Medicine nun. Naconfine ako sa sa Holy Infant Jesus Hospital (malapet lang un sa UST). Pinuntahan nya ako dun para mangamusta. Eh sakto may nurse na kumukuha ng dugo ko. Ang ginawa kasi nung nurse, kumuha ng maraming pointy stuff (mukhang karayom ewan ko) tapos sabay sabay tinusok sa may anticubital (Alak-alakan friend, yun yung opposite side ng siko mo) ko. Edi dumugo in many places dun, pabilog. Nagalit kuya ko! "Anong ginagawa mo? Hindi ganyan kumuha ng blood sample!" Nakakaloka talaga yun! Pinakalma lang sya ni mom. Hyper mode yun eh.
Sa school, before, yun nga active sya sa mga contests. Naalala ko pa before, lagi syang nagpapractice ng declamation sa CR. Alam mo yung ihing ihi kana, hindi pa din sya lumalabs, kasi kasama nya sa pagligo yung pagpapractice. Nananalo sya sabi ni mom. May julalay pa nga si Kuya nun eh. Gay daw. Whheheheh. Lagi din syang Class president. Tapos he was elected as UST Central Student Council President nung senior year nya as Med Tech. Student. Antaray dba! Eh ako TP4 Coordinator lang! Under lang ng Pres!
Present. Kinasal sya nung Dec. 9, 2007 sa UST Church with Ate Millie, yung long time Girlfriend nya. As in bata pa ko sila nah. hanggang sa maging college ako sa wakas naging husband and wife na sila. Mautak nga yung dalawang yun. Sinabay yung honeymoon nila sa convention na pupuntahan nila sa Hongkong. After that, sunod sunod na sya umaalis ng bansa dahil napipili yung thesis nya about sa enzyme sa stomach na nagko-cause ng saket. Una sa Japan, Singapore, and Korea. sa september sa India naman ipapadala sya ng Metropolitan Hospital dun for training. Superb daw kasi ang studies ng Gastro-enterology sa India kaya ayun. Just recently, he was proclaimed as Best Fellow Doctor in the Philippines. Kalerkey!

Extension
OKay so my dad's not perfect. Meron akong 3 kafatid sa labas.
Yung una si RJ. Una ko syang nakilala sa PS Rental shop ng Tita Baby "namin". Mga 9 years old ako nun. Nung sinabi nya yung pangalan nyang RJ de Guzman, I figured pinsan ko sya, kasi tawag nya sa mga Tita ko Tita din. Lagi kaming naglalaro ng PS together actually. Close kami kagad. Dati akala ko nga talagang nakagaanan ko lang sya ng loob. Yun pala lukso na nang dugo yun. Finally, nalamna ko na kapatid ko sya. Meron kasi akong saket na pag may nag-uusap na mga tao sa tabi ko pag natutulog ako, nagigising ang diw ako at naririnig yung pinaguusapan nila. Ayun, narinnig kong sinasabi ni mom yun to my Tita Inday. Dun ko sya nalaman. Nung nawala yung PS Rental hindi na kami masyadong nagkikita. Minsan nasasalubong ko sya, but I'm too busy to entertain him. There was atime na nandun sya sa compound. Nandun yung ibang pinsan "namin", napag-usapan nga yung tungkol dun. Grabeh naiyak na si RJ nun. Kasi nga kinukwento nya na our father signed his birth certificate, nung graduation da wnya nung elementary binigyan sya ng datung. Mga chorvang ganun. Finally, mas matanda sya saken kaso hindi ko lam kung how much.

Meron pa akong 2 pah. Kambal silang girls. May lahi talaga samin ng kambal. Mas bata daw sila saken. Huling balita daw nasa Navotas daw nakatira yung mga yun. Care ko! Basta sa mata ng batas ako ang bunso! Wahahahaha!

Hindi lingid sa akin na meron akong mga half-siblings. Kanina nga naalala ko yung isa. Si Rj. Kamukha kasi nya ung katabi ko kanina dito sa compshop. Akala ko nga nung una sya eh, eh alam ko kasi hindi sya nabibiyayaan para makapag-aral. Hmmmp. Nasan kya sya ngayon?

My Dad won in the Barangay Elections as Chairman! It was a landslide victory! My Dad got a total of 653 votes with the total turn out of votes of 1179. Even with the combined votes of his opponents they don't have a chance! wahahahah! I'm so happy! It's about time that Barangay 80 Zone 7 have a competent and compassionate leader. It's not that he's my Dad. It's just that all of his successors didn't do half as much as he did when he was in power. Look at the our Barangay Hall. When I last went there, there is a big room that would welcome you. But now, my dad told me that the Big room is now in portions and is divided by walls. Our Daycare center, which was complete with two air conditioning units and 3 electric fans, 2 ceiling fans and 1 stand fan, are now all missing in the daycare. It is left with an exhaust fan. Can you imagine how hot is it in there? I can't believe that it is used as a classroom for prep students. Super init dun!

Goodluck that! And congratulations! I'm proud of you!

Sunday eating
Yesterday, I wasn't able to watch Boys Next Door because my Doc Kuya called and invited our mom and I to eat at SM. At first, I don't want to go because I'll miss an episode. But in the end my mom won in persuading me. So I took a bath and we're off to SM. We both wore red-colored clothes, and to our suprise Kuya was also wearing red! So we went shopping then proceeded eating at Flavors of China.

The meal
Delicious! nothing more!

Trips abroad
This October, Kuya is flying to Japan because his paper was chosen. And he wants me to make his presentation paraphernalia! His ppt and everything! My goodness it will be shown in Japan! I'm really pressured! I hope I can do it! He has another trip. He will be in India for 8 months after his wedding because he's going to train there.
