To my precious Sea, You can almost read now. As a 4-year-old pre-nursery pupil, you recognize simple words. People think you might be gifted. I am almost certain you will be smarter than me -- and that is saying something. One funny thing though, you've started this habit of pretending to know how to read. And when you pretend to read a book aloud, somehow, "had a balloon," has to be there somewhere, regardless of the plot and characters. I can't wait for you to grow up... but I know I am going to miss my baby so much. Love, Daddy P.S. Went to Tita Em's shop to pick up the Peppa Pig balloon you and mommy forgot. Its lost some air, but you don't mind. You just love balloons.
I dunno Dude... I dunno.
ReplyDeleteHave you considered Filipino names? Hehehe.
Which reminds me, I once attended an event of the Boy Scouts to which the guest speaker happened to be the current Warden of a famous local jail back at that time.
He specifically pointed out in his speech that he conducted a research wherein he found out that the most common full name of all inmates ever recorded was Juan de la Cruz.
Sadly, he pointed out that the Americans back at the American domination of the Philippines must've used the said name as a monicker for us all based on prison records.
How sad...
@nozrath: Maybe he just used Ambeth Ocampo's article.
ReplyDelete@Don Dee: I believe I remember reading that Thais actually have very short nick names.
No, Neckromancer, I did not. I would have given him credit if I did. You see, my problem with last names (Finns specifically) is that one of our company's clients is for a Finn owned company. It is very hard for me to fill out the visitor's form (for the guards) on account of the client's last name. I actually have to make him write it on the form itself. I can never remember it. It is something like 3 consonants in a row or something like that. :)
