The Bathroom Scare

I woke up at 12 midnight from my evening nap to get ready for work today.

And while I was doing my thing in the bathroom, this little bastard, a cockroach, was peeking from the cracks at the side of the bathroom door.

I was like… O_O

I’m scared of creepy crawlers, specifically ROACHES!

I didn’t know what to do! I just kept my eye on it, looking at it intently like a vulture eyeing its potential meal from afar.

What will I do if this little bastard flew over me or started crawling on the bathroom floor?!

I thought of 3 things that I will do worst comes worst:

1.       I will whack it with the dipper with all my might! *evil.laugh*

2.       I will squirt water to it using my breast pump.

3.       Or I bang the door so it will get a panic attack and hide!

In cases like this, I really need my ultimate cockroach killer – a bottle of Green Cross 70% alcohol.

While I was lost in my thoughts on how to kill it, the little bastard crawled out from the cracks, and just before I can do something…

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I just let out a shrill cry. I just shrieked!

That little bastard! Hopefully, I didn’t wake up my neighbours.

This may sound ridiculous, but we all have something to be scared of.

So what’s yours?

A Conversation with My Little Man

This afternoon, while I was watching Kourtney and Khloe Take New York, I decided to ask questions to Zephyr, just to check his level of understanding and to my amazement here’s what he had to say:

Me: Zephyr, I will ask you something, okay?

Zephyr: Hmmm… Okay!

Me: What song you do you like?

Zephyr: Hmmm… Twinkle, Twinkle Star! (Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

Me: Eh, what food do you like? Me, I like pizza!

Zephyr: Rice! Like Rice!

Me: What else?

Zephyr: Rice lang! (He really likes rice with lots of ‘sabaw’.)

Me: What do you like watching on TV?

Zephyr: Hi-5! Timmy! Jake and Pirates! (Jake and the Neverland Pirates)

Me: Eh, what’s your favourite toy?

Zephyr: Like play blocks!

Me: Zephyr, where’s Tatay?

Zephyr: Go to work!

Me: How about Nanay? Do you like it when Nanay goes to work?

Zephyr: No! Like Nanay stay house lang!

Me: Why naman?

Zephyr: Stay house lang! Play with me! (Then he gave me a big hug!)

I was surprised! I know Zephyr is a very intelligent kid but I didn’t know that I can have this kind of conversation with him. I thought he’s not paying attention to whatever I say. I realized that I just have to talk to him more often, with no distractions – TV, toys and snacks. It threw me off all the more when he said that he didn’t like me going to work. I never thought he would say that. To think, he’s only 2 years old and he cares! My little boy is growing so fast, hopefully I can catch up!  ☺☺☺
