Fake Mermaids And A Ceiling Waterfall

Manila Trip Day 3
(June 6, Saturday afternoon)

Eli: S'go out, Doogie
Woog: It's raining out there.

Boys: We're in, we're in! Yay!

Eli-gator? Doogie-dile?


Tatay: I'll throw you in, 'Pet?
Eli: No! Throw you...Tatay!


Woog: Me, me! Throw me in, Mom! Can I bring one home?

Cuddle time in the dark

Some are gray...

and some are red...

and some can swallow your entire head!


Woog: Ew. Sting-ray fart. Ew.


Eli: Sweep! Want to sweep!

Woog: Let's sleep here, Eli.

Woog: Whoah!

Eli: Shark...eat you!

Soaking tired footsies and getting our calluses cannibalized

Woog is tickled. Literally.

Mom: Woog, let's go watch the mermaid show!
Woog: (rolls eyes) The mermaids are fake, Mom. They're wearing goggle

Back at the Sampaloc aparment penthouse. 11 P.M.

Propery manager: Dondi, you better call home. You mother rang. She says your ceiling caved in.

Me: !!!!!

Hello? Mom?! What happened?

Wawa: Haaaay, Dondi. You really put me on the spot. I'm still here cleaning up your apartment. It rained so hard, the wall of the master bedroom is a waterfall. What a mess! I've had to dry your birth certificates on the clothesline.

Me: Oh no!

Wawa: (aggrieved sigh) This is a sign that you really need to get a house of your own.

Me: Is there anything else that's damaged?

Wawa: Stuff. You can check when you get home. There's no food in the fridge, either.

Me: Remind me again why I hate vacations.

chiq - ti nadula ang yellow color sang tanan namon nga nso birth certificates. pila naman kami sa nso. hrhrhrhrhrhhr!
a lot of loose pictures, magazines, and paper items had to be thrown away. luckily, the cabinets that got in the way of the waterfall were made of hardwood, so no damage there.
nag-awas ang tarog kay puno sang dahon that flew there from the pihak balay. this is the second time it happened, btw.
