DVD ni Elmo

Para kay Elmo:

TVS means TVSony. Ganito nya tinutukoy ang TV "turn on na natin TVS, Tay."

Then, TVD is DVD. Since pinapanooran din ung portable DVD niya. kala niya TVD.

Later on, mare-realize niya rin ang tamang tawag dito.

When I left my previous work, my wife was already on the family way. Basically, most of the friends I made in that office apparently became Elmo's Ninongs and Ninang. One barkada always invites me to the group's (not the office's) Christmas party. That's they realize that they have to give their inaanak's gift - which were basically ampao.

I even had post on my FB account what was bought from the money, for them to see na hindi ko binulsa ang pera. I got red rubber shoes for Elmo on Christmas 2011.

For Christmas 2012, I planned to buy him a bike as my personal gift. My wife disagreed since this would mean longer time that Elmo's going to stay outside. When the idea of buying portable DVD came out, I was not really keen giving him that as my personal gift. I just decided to purchase that through the Aguinaldos from his Ninongs and Ninangs.

Gelo, Faye and Elmo's Graduation

We hardly had family picture growing up.

I don't know.

Technically, the best one that we had was on our kindergarten graduation at the Bataan Infant Jesus School.

This year, three of Carding and Fe's apos had their graduation.

Gelo. Faye and Elmo.

Gelo
At around 4:00pm my sister texted me that I have to rush and attend to gelo's neck tie. it took few more hours that all members of the family (except elmo and tian) are around to witness gelo's graduation. All - include daddy ricky. He may have been absent on ate's and my wedding and other occasions but not on his unico ijo's special day. He especially arranged his vacation in time for this date.

Faye
Around 8:00pm that night, Kuya Rowel, Ate and Faye went home for us to see Faye after her graduation. None of us attended the graduation for one reason. The ceremony has an entrance fee of P100.

Elmo
Pagdating sa venue ng graduation, hala! lahat ng parents may dalang gift. Sabi ko kay yaya, "Bakit di mo sinabi na magdadala ng gift?" Sagot nya "Basta si teacher may regalo sa kanila, kayo na bahala kung reregaluhan nyo si elmo".
Heto na, briefing na, sabi ng day care worker "Pag-akyat po ng stage ng bata, aabutan nila kyo ng rose, tapos iaabot nyo na ang gift nyo sa bata".
Naggrocery ako bigla, buti at no plastic day. paper bag na may laman na Maling at corned ang kunwari inabot kong gift kay elmo.

(in english: I was not informed by the yaya that parent should bring a gift for the child since it's part of the ceremony.)
