Batang Api

Paula became the monster that scares Little Rafa. When Tem say, “Ate Pau! Ate Pau! Si Rafa oh!” the little toddler cries. Scared of his 18 year old cousin.

Tem posted this video on Facebook and it just broke my heart. My sister can be very evil. Ate Richie, from the US, even told my sister, “Tem, matatakot any bata. May psychological effect yan!”
To which my little sister promised not to do it again.

A few weeks later, Tem posted this photo: Miggy testing the waters. Mabait naman pala si Ate Paula. (he’s so cute)

Rafael killing the pandesal…

 

Focus Runs in the Family

I proudly showed my colleagues this photo of my nephew in Instagram telling them, “Being focused runs in my family…”

“Kuya, marunong na mag-‘turn page’ si baby!” Tem shared.
“Sa iPad?” I asked.
“Oo!” she answered proudly, “Tignan mo, pag hawak ko kamay n’ya automatic tumuturo para ilipat n’ya.”

Whenever Tem let Rafa’s hand go, it returns to normal.
Funny hand gesture.

 

 

Rafa Prophecy

“Kamusta ho si Rafa?” I asked Nanay this morning.
“Ayun! Napakadaldal na. Tapos ang aga kumakain na ng kanin. Pag nagsalita talagang naiintindihan na mga MAMA nya,” Nanay proudly shared this morning.
“Matalino talaga to,” she finished.
“Nay, parang yan naman sinabi nyo sa lahat ng pamangkin ko pero parang wala namang matalino sa kanila,” I kiddingly answered.

 

Real Estate and a Baby

“Tem, kamusta?” Ate Richie asked. She was calling from the US.
“Ate, si kuya raw bumili ng condo sa Manila,” she shared.
“Talaga? Wow!”
“Si Ate Mimi, bumili nanaman ng lupa.”
“Wow, nag-iinvest mga kapatid natin. Eh ikaw?” Ate Richie asked Tem.
“Eto… Si Rafa! Ang taba taba!”
