Random Adorable Things Nikolai Did Today

05/01
1. Making Donald drink by placing the (closed) water bottle by his beak.

05/02
1. Dada asked for a hug and he immediately gave it
2. I told him to tell Donald not to touch the electricfan. He gestured "no" with his pointing finger while looking at Donald

05/03
1. Emerged from the bedroom door when he woke up and both Momma and Dada arent there beside him.
He slipped coz of his socks and let out a cute "ahh oooh" 

05/04
1. I gave him half of the empty Arla box and cleaned it so he can play with the cap. 
I told him he can only play with it today. Tomorrow he has to "put it in the T-R-A-S-H". I spelled it in the intention that he wouldn't do it right now. But he walked straight to the bin. 

2. Me: "Dance with Donald", then I started singing Head Shoulders Knees and Toes. He placed his hands on Donald's head the way I do to him when we sing the song!

05/05  

1. Per Yumi's kwento: She tripped and fell to her knees and told Nikolai in an almost crying tone that it hurts. 
Nklai looked seriously worried and starts fixing Yumi's hair.
I got kilig because that is how I usually comfort him when he falls.

05/09 

1. Boy had been so picky but will always choose white rice. During dinner, he was scooping off of ate Yumi's plate!

05/12

1. Signed "more" at the sight of milk. Wrong sign language, but cute excitement! 

2. I asked him "Nikolai, do you want us to sing some songs?" 
He didn't say "Yes" but started singing "Heaaaaddd..(while touching his head)"

05/14  
1. Nklai and I were walking towards the park, and he suddenly yelled "Dada, Dada, Dada". 
I turn my back and saw his Dada walking few meters behind us.

2. Boss carried Nklai and told him to kiss bomb Mama, then greeted "Happy Mother's Day".
Mmmaaa - sound of his kiss "mwah".


05/15 
1. Suspecting that he confuses waving bye to all waves (even for hello), I tried to model waving hello to him more.
When Yumi came in the room, he waved and said "bye". 
As I continue to wave I told him, we say hello instead. Yumi and I were repeating "hello" then suddenly Nklai put his palm against his ear, as if saying "hello" to an incoming mobile phone call.

2. Shared his water cup to Hamstie (poking his eyes though, instead of his mouth/snout).

Alidogz: "Ayun oh coffee shop" while driving pauwi from Laiya last Sunday.






Affordable  
The barista was nice
Food is meh; I make better toasts and waffles
The furnitures are incoherent, but choice of wallpaper is cute

I'll be cooking and stressing out about cooking the next few days

Para sa ibang tao, cooking is therapeutic daw.
I decided mag "thought cast" dito, pero ako lang audience, hindi na sa Twitter 

Timestamp 10:58 - na overcrowd ko yata yung chicken
Pag nagluluto ba yung iba, sukat talaga nila yung timbang ng meat? 
Nainis ako kasi 'di namin napag hiwalay bago i-freezer
Edi sana di ko thinaw lahat, and di ako mamomroblema sa dami ng meat na walang matching recipe online 

Timestamp 11:04 -sabi lightly brown the chicken, super takot ako sa undercooked chicken pero pag nasobra naman nagiging maganit, wag lag siguro close to fried chicken no?

13:39 - tapos na kami kumain. Nakalimutan kong ginagawa ko 'to
Lasang Afritada naman yung niluto ko.

Thanks for reading my walang kwentang post.

Here's a random Abanikolai post with Jj the mocha marble cake dog

Head Shoulders Knees and Toes

Wala ako maisip na title. Wala rin naman ako maisip na ipost, but I still feel somehow, this is my safe space, kaya dito na lang ako hahanash.  

Gusto ko nang tumakas!  

I feel so trapped, kasi maganda yung ano, pero yung ano sobrang ano. Hay :(  

Magkukwento na lang ako tungkol kay bb.  

Nag sayaw ng Head, Shoulder, knees and toes, pero yung arms nya hangang kilikili lang lol. Ang cute nya, para syang naka stance as if nanggagaya ng manok/chicken wings.  

Tapos sa part na "eyes  and ears, and mouth, and nose"  parang buong mukha tinuro nya haha sayang di ko na videohan. Pero okay lang pala, live ko na witness and not holding my phone at the time.  

Pero kagabi mabaliw baliw na naman ako, kasi not feeling well sya, and di makahanap pwesto. I was angry, not at him but with the situation. 
Like, puyatan na naman??  
Haay sana di na lang sila nagkakasakit.
And sana mas nurturing and comforting ako as a mother. Iinis ako sa sarili ko, and puro guilt kasi nga di ko sya ma comfort. Nauna pa nga yata ako naka tulog! Fail.  

Hirap ng parenthood! Thanks sa parents ko, umabot pa ng 4 lol.  

Hay. I miss you mommy. Napapanaginipan ko pa rin kayo ni Lola palagi (sorry lolo, pero naalala ko nung death anniv mo, kahit matagal na)  

Yun lang muna and this random photo.. 



Bat yan napili, antaba namin

Hay oh well
