A showtimer Kid!

My nephew is a two-year and four-months old…He’s adorable and he always have surprises to say or do.  I say surprises because sometimes he say or do things no one taught him.  He learned it by himself.

One tim while we were watching the prime time news, President Noynoy was flashed on the TV while he was answering some issues during a press conference.  My nephew pointed to the TV screen and said to her mother, “Pnoy, Mommy!”  Delighted by her comment, her Mommy told him, “Yes, anak that’s Pnoy, he is our President.”  And taking that moment to teach him, she asked, “Sino ang President natin?”.  My nephew said, “Pnoy, Mommy!”  Then again wanting to teach him some more, she asked, “e sino ang Vice?”  As immediately as her Mommy said the last word and with no hesitation, he blurted out “Ganda!”   (Vice Ganda!)

Hahahaha! He is a showtimer indeed!

Batchmates slash classmates slash friends!

I get the chance to bond with my high school classmates and batchmates this past December.    Many are called but only few have come,(“,), and guess what’s not so surprising? Attandance was dominated by the singles! The beautiful singles to be exact! (nyan!) Nonetheless, there were new old faces who attended the said Christmas party  like Rhianna, Jensen and Michelle.   The party was pretty full of talks and laughters, and of course, telltales!  And as usual the subjects are the “non-attendees”! !(hmmm…) hehehe! so, better not miss any class party slash reunion slash gathering, guys!

 But there’s one thing I admire our batch slash class for.  We have changed so much but we actually didn’t so much! Confusing? O well, let me say it this way.  Sometimes, no matter how grown up people are, when they meet up with people whom they had their childhood or teen years, they tend to still act like as if those years were just like yesterday.  Even how changed people are, or how prestigious their positions or the company they work for at the moment, you still can’t help to consider them the way they used to be.  Or you can’t help to treat them the way you used to treat them.  Though, you don’t picture yourselves as bunch of high school teens, unknowingly, you still act the same.  You still think you can pull off some prank jokes  or throw some off remarks, and you know they will not hold grudges (or maybe a little,(“,)) for that.  It is in this moment that you become no one… no achievements, no titles…it is just what you were as a person that these teen-years-friends see.  They see you as unchanged person.  And I meant it in a good way.  Because sometimes, our career lives are entwined with formalities and rules that it feels so constricting and stressful.  So, it is a breather to be with people you can be informal with, goofy, wacky, clumsy (but in a responsible manner)… just become carefree for once … Just have fun! Laugh your heart out!  And you can still say to your friend slash classmate slash now turned a General maybe, who throws a nasty joke, “Whatever, Freak! Are you enjoying?!”   

And these are my classmates slash batchmates slash my friends!
