Conversation with the Kiddos

Rod: Nanay, naka save na ako ng 100
Me: Wow! Well-done! Try to keep it safe why don't you deposit it to your account? Di bale pagkauwi ko, I will double what you've saved and deposit it.
R: Di ba, Nay, gamitin ko man siya sa bakasyon natin?

I have told them that they better save if they want to buy something for themselves during our vacation. I told them all of Nanay's money would be used up for plane fares and  hotel stay.

M: Yeah, it's still better to keep it safe though. So you won't be tempted to spend it.

R: Okay.

M: Kumusta school, Anak? Nahirapan ka na ba sa Math mo? Do you need a tutor now? I'll get my salary in September pa. I might be able to enroll you by then to e-nopi.

R: Mahirap na ng konti. Di bale, Nay, ma gets ko lang man din yun.

M: (Feeling my heart expand) You don't know how happy you made me, Rod. So proud of you.

R: Thank you. (Nag thank you pa hehe)

R: Nanay, tanong ko lang ha? Kelan mo ko mabilhan ng film sa camera ko? (He has an instamagic, a prize he asked for, for being an honor student last school year)

N: Naku, Anak, wala pa man pera si Nanay. Baka first week of September pa. May bills pa nga tayo na unpaid pa. I'll ask Tatay if he has money from the shop, I can borrow.

R: Okay lang man, Nay. Kahit matagal pa. Don't worry about it. Okay lang man sa akin.

Forest: Nanay...
M: Yes, Anak? I miss you so much!
F: Gusto na kita mayakap.
M: (Totally speechless and tears stung my eyes)
F: Miss na kita.
M: Ako rin, Anak. Miss na miss na kita. Di bale, uwi ako soon.
F: Gusto na kita mayakap ng totoo...

What do you say to that? ;(

I'm grateful everyday for having such loving, wonderful, smart kids. Truly God's blessing. I miss you everyday.
