Just Another Day--- #Hokage

After the boys' haircut, we went to have dinner at koi, a sushi place close by. Fair warning, it's not worth it. It's expensive and there's nothing special about it. File this under #LlagaLast. 

While eating, I ask the kids, what does Hokage mean and they went ballistic. Questions such as mom, where'd you learn that, mom when did you even know that word and many others. I felt like a queen with bountiful knowledge. But they were still cracking up and I wasn't getting my answer so I asked again. They explained that it's an anime where this kid wants to grow up to be a hokage ( highest level of ninjahood--ha, there is such) but he is the worst ever-- awkward and such and it doesn't help that his dad was the most well known Hokage in all of Japan. So you know, the struggle is real. 

I then said, wow, I must be a Hokage! Best in what I do, I said. They all went back to eating even though there was no more food. 

Mga buwisit. Such is my life. How's your Thursday?

Daily Musings-- Mickey Bustos

Hello there my dear, so sorry I haven't updated for a long time but here you go!

On our way home after school shopping ( which was just supposed to be a quick hair color pick up) after the dental appointments of the boys, Pherry, out of the blue said, " are you promdi or sosi?" In unquestionable Mickey Bustos voice, a nod to his Filipino roots. Then the other two started screaming like crazy and leads Josh to ask, " is that the bald guy? If yes, I know him too!" Pherry ask what sosi means and and I told them it's a slang/play of words to social/sosyal which has been mean to be acting upper class in Filipino societal norms. With a few more examples, Pherry then said, " do you mean promdi is?" And they all start to giggle. Hahahahha, it's promdi, "from the province" as suburban people. Promdi connotes no class, cheap, Jologs    The closest I could think of is like suburbs people but it's not exactly.

But that's not the story. They then go on and say, "wahahahaha, from the province is promdi coz you guys interchange f and p!" That's right! Otherwise it would have been FromTheProvince but it's PromTheFrovince or promdi for short. 

That's all, goodnight folks. 

See I A

I came home Monday and this is what I came home to;

" Ma, I applied for internship at the CIA," Pherry said and then "only coz the clandestine agent application is closed." I said ok, that's cool. After a few minutes he followed me to the deck and talked about it some more. Deadma Nga ako, kasi CIA nga. 

Then yesterday, he followed me to the front while I was watering the plants. "Ma, I followed the chat rooms  about the internships at the CIA... Blah blah blah." I followed with Ah, ooooh, wow, cool, really... And some other expressions. CIA nga kasi. 

Then today, while the kids were all laughing on how Pherry is now learning the Running Man dance, I asked " KC, did you know Kuya applied at the CIA?" 

KC was like no, when did that happen? So I asked Pherry, "Kuya, when would you know if you got accepted at the CIA?" He said, "you won't know, it's the CIA."

Kasi nga, CIA! Ano ba?
