starting 'em young

whoa!  kindergarten nowadays already have a heartthrob?!

this afternoon there were these little girls in school uniform who, when they saw this cute little boy, started shrieking and calling out his name.  the nannies burst out laughing and the boy was so embarrassed he covered his face.

i don't remember when i first became aware of crushes but i know i was either in second or third grade when i had my first suitor.  i thought then that was too young.  in today's standards i guess that's already late...  : }

it's not me

scrolling through my call log...  suddenly my phone rang...  i thought maybe i unintentionally pressed something so i ended the call...

it rang again...  there really is an incoming call!

aw, of course!  i wouldn't be hearing my ringtone if i were the one calling, right?

slow sometimes...  :"}

immaterial

i lost my phone in tacloban so i bought a new one.  suddenly i had two chargers, two USB cables and two earphones.

now things i don't need / use / like, i post for sale online.

someone wanted to buy the charger.

ok.

and then...

buyer:  'are you a boy?'

me:  'no...  you?'

buyer:  'yes...'

me:  'oh...  i thought girl...'

buyer:  'hehe...  are you still going to sell to me even if i'm a boy?'

huh?!  of course!

aren't you going to buy from me just because i'm a girl???

equal opportunity!  \m/

zooming in

friend requesting me to share a solo pic of hers taken at this place...

me:  'why don't you share it yourself?'

friend:  'i can't...'

me:  'you can't?  you want me to share it in my timeline or yours?'

friend:  'mine...'

me:  'you want me to post from my account to your timeline or from your account on your timeline?'

friend:  'my account...  you can access it, right?'

me:  'well, yeah...  which solo?  there are so many solo pics in that album...'

friend:  'the one inside...  not the one in the lobby...'

me:  'duh!  almost all the pics in that album were taken inside...  only a handful are at the lobby...  which one?'

friend:  'the one eating...'

me:  'that was dinner, we were eating!  which particular pic?'

friend:  'the one sitting...'

me:  'aw!  practically all the pics there are sitting!  you should be more specific than that!'

friend:  'the second picture in the album...'

that's more like it...  whew!

positivity

asked my niece for a hug...

niece:  'i'm smelly, tita...'

me:  'awww!  'the secret'...  make it a habit to use positive words even when you're expressing something negative...  instead of saying you're smelly, say you don't smell good...  at least, the thought there is still about smelling good, not about being smelly...  don't say something is hard; say it's not easy...  instead of saying you're hungry, say you're not full...  little things like that...  use positive words to develop a positive mindset.

ok.  give me three examples like that.  use positive words to express a negative sentiment.'

niece:  'i'll just do it tomorrow, tita...'
