It's just one of those schoolnights when the little kid is so lazy to walk the extra mile. Basta tapos na homework, okay na. As an adult (who am I kidding?), I had to play my part:
Mum: Lemon, mag aral ka naman mabuti...blah...Mas okay yung matalino ka, yung may honors ka. When you grow up mas madali kang yayaman kung tapos ka ng school and pag matalino ka (I didn't want to mention about working or she'll get disillusioned. She knows I'm having a hard time working and making ends meet even if I do have work).
Lemon: Eh di ba Mommy, matalino ka? Eh bakit di ka pa rin mayaman?
Mum: (Dumbfounded) Uhm... Kasi malas ako eh.
Hay kids these days. Di mo talaga mabola.

In the eyes of a child, my child.
Lemon and I talk a lot (what a surprise!) - in the car, before going to sleep, before I leave for work, while watching a movie (I know we shouldn't but...), yadda yadda. Here are some amusing conversations we've had:
in the car, on our war to a mall:
Lemon: Mum, why is the sky blue? (one of the ultimate questions each child had to ask)
Mum: (praying I know the right answer) Because molecules in the air scatter blue light more than they scatter other colors. Di ba we have so many colors in the rainbow? Those molecules bounce off more blue light.
Lemon: Ah.. but what are molecules?
Mum: They're the little stuff all things are made of. They group together into particles. You can't see a single molecule kasi they're so small.
Lemon: Ah... Eh why is the sea blue also?
Mum: It reflects the blue sky. (I should've stopped explaining by this time but noooo. I just had to be Ms. Smarty pants) But sometimes it's green when the water is shallow kasi it shows naman what's under the water which mostly is green stuff.
Lemon: Ah yeah. Green. Like aliens.
Mum: *dumbfounded*
* * * *
Last night while watching The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe on Disney Channel:
Scene: The morning after Aslan was stabbed by the White Witch on the stone table. Susan and Lucy fell asleep while Peter and Edmund lead the battle against the White Witch.
Lemon: Wala lang, natulog lang sila. Di man lang sila tumulong! Umiyak-iyak lang sila. (They just slept, they didn't even help. They just cried.)
Mum: *laughing*
* * * *
After watching Highschool Musical (I know, right?):
Mum: I love Sharpay. She's so cute!
Lemon: Me too! I don't like Gabrielle. Lagi na lang syang parang kawawa. Liit pa ng boses. (She's pathetic. She's got such a small voice!)
Mum: (thinking I've created a monster), uhm yeah. hehe..
* * * *
i just remembered one more:
be careful what stuff you let your kids watch. Even seemingly innocent flicks such as Finding Nemo could change their lives forever.
One frustrated mom during dinner:
Mum: Lemon, why won't you eat fish?!?
Lemon: Eh kasi di ba sabi sa Finding Nemo, "fish are friends, not food!"
Mum: What???
And she won't eat fish to this day.
* * * *
(I'll update this every now and then. I don't want to forget these conversations. She'll grow up soon.)

Lemon and I were on our way to her school. Earlier we already had an argument on why she can't wear mommy's accessories to school. We saw this girl wearing baby pink shirt, Magenta pants, pink shoes and even had pink ribbons on her hair. Lemon goes...
"Mom, I don't like pink any more. Parang baduy na. Nung baby pa ko I love pink pero ngayon ang gusto ko na lang lahat BLACK and GRAY."
I really doubt that she's only seven. And I'm her mom!

For Now
Someday I know I'll look back at my life and laugh at the times when I got so stubborn with what I thought I wanted and deserved.
But learning does take time. And living involves getting a few scratches here and there, getting bruised for that one shot at happiness, no matter how shallow that joy might look like years after.
I guess I'll live each moment as if I wasn't wrong, hoping someday I'd somehow make sense of these stubborn feelings, secretly wishing on my selfish little star to at least shed a little shine on me. This is the only way to live for me.
And so I'll take the all the pain.
... for now.

Not-so-old photos of us drinking in broad daylight. Sorry for the poor quality, I was using a phone cam (and a not so great one at that).

Lost my Smart Phone =(
Payday yesterday, I've been a victim of pick-pocketing. My N70 got stolen. So now I don't have a Smart number again. Please send me a PM so that I can get your number and you can get mine, if you like. It's so difficult to lose so many contacts. It's like I'm starting from zero.
And midday yesterday I had this itching to copy all my contacts to my PC. I didn't know why, but guess what - I didn't. Haay...
Will let you know when I get a Smart number soon (I have to save up for another phone first. I think I'll settle for those China phones since I lose them habitually anyway)

David Cook - He's All That!
YAY!!! HE WON!!!DAVID COOK WON!!! XD
This is the first time that I followed AI. I never really had an interest in AI because I noticed Rockers don't really make much history there.
But oh no, David Cook proved me wrong. And I'm pleasantly surprised.
Loved all the songs he did. Loved his face. Loved his voice. And oh, check out Analog Heart, Cook's pre-AI album. Great great great songs in there!
Ah let this fangirl have her moment. It's not everyday that I find pleasure in showbiz.
DAVID COOK, you're the bomb!!!
