Holiday Vignettes

Kapuluan Vista, Pagudpod

Thursday Night
Ziggy the little black poodle followed me around all day. Early that evening while I was trying to read, he trotted over, jumped on the couch and matter-of-factly snuggled against my thigh. At inner, he insisted on curling up on my lap (and falling asleep).

Papa: O he's been following you around. He really likes your lap no? I think he likes *you* because of the warmth. Dat's why he keeps making siksik to your buli and your tummy.

Double checks size of buli and thickness of waist blubber.

Friday Breakfast
Papa is instructing the waitress on his choice of buko.
Papa: Gusto ko yung bata pa ha? Kahapon yung binigay ninyo matanda. Makunat na.
JP: Oo! Mahilig sa bata si Ser. :D
Papa/Me: JP!/ Ssst!

Later,
Papa (whispers to me): Madaming matrona dito. Baka ma-hurt sila.
