stranger

I was in the dollar store this afternoon. As I was waiting in line, a man said to me, "Kumusta? (How are you?)"

I thought he is talking to another person, then he said again, "Magandang araw! (Good day!)."
And I just realized that he is talking to me in my native language. He is speaking Tagalog but he is not a Filipino like me. He is caucasian. I was looking at him and I replied, "Mabuti naman (I'm fine.)" Then I asked him how come he knew my language. He said that he is married to a Filipina woman, had been in the Philippines and he liked it.

I paid for my item and said goodbye to him. It's so nice to meet someone who is trying to speak my native language. And he is proud also that he married a Filipina.

But I was also scared because I thought someone is making fun of me. I don't usually talk to strangers. Speaking my native language is not funny but I realized he just want be friendly since I looked like a Filipina similar maybe to his wife.

But you'll never know...it's just creepy.

Saturday

Good day!

it's only half of the day and i'm exhausted already. I woke up late and started cleaning right away after seeing the sink(you know what's in it), loaded the laundry and started cooking. Before I finish all of these it's already 12nn. Did some good grooming to my 3 kids- cutting nails, cleaning ears, bathe my son, and soma chitchat with them. Then it's my turn to prepare myself for today's work.

My hubby, is in the mood in vacuuming but I hate it when he's cleaning because he always complain about all the mess. Hmmp, maybe he's not used to doing that.

Now I am writing this while waiting for my carpool. Relaxing and getting ready for another hard day's work.

How's your day?

lost kid

This afternoon on my way to work, as I was riding the bus and had a quick nap (20 mins. ride to my 1st stop, I was awakened by the voice of the driver talking to somebody. I sat near the front area of the bus. And when I opened my eyes, the driver wa talking to a kid, around 4-5 yrs. of age. The driver said to him to stay inside the bus until somebody picks him up. A kid is lost! Everybody was staring at the poor kid. I don't know the whole story, but I think the boy was left behind by his guardian. Poor boy! But he is calm and quiet, not frightened.

I cannot imagine my son, to be lost and left behind. IF that will happen to me, I'll go crazy!

I just wish he will be united to his parents.
