cas and xyriel suddenly getting inside the room while i'm working..
cas and sasay: "wow mother! you're so pretty! your hair is so nice (despite me not having combed it for probably 2 weeks 🥴). you are so beautiful.... and nice!" 
me: .... what do you want me to buy you this time?
sasay: maybe a lemonade?
cas: actually any drink.
me: ....where is anna?
cas: having a kumon class..
*after ordering their milkteas from foodpanda*
cas: bye mother! you are pretty! don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.
🥴🥴🥴
these girls better learn to work hard to earn a ton of their own money someday (or find hardworking and rich/or will definitely be rich husbands 😂). they're turning out to be pretty high maintenance ones  🥴🥴🥴

Sitting here trying to work holding back laughter:
Anna to google assistant:
- When will Anna Cathaleia Fajardo be 200months old?
- When will I be 10 years old?
- How old will I be in 2080?
- When will Anna Cathaleia be 5000minutes old?
- How old am I?
- How many days til my birthday? 
- And etcetc
And she gets amazed how google assistant always answers her everytime 😂 
- How do you know my age? 
Assistant: sorry that's not available for this account
- Oi! How do you always know my age?? HOW DO YOU KNOW MY AGE???!!! Well how old are you google?
😂😂😂 
She even asked the assistant to sing happy birthday to her.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUR MAJESTY!"
*Castielle bursts into laughter she asked the assistant to call her your majesty*

Kids and papa ison teasing me to be too old.
Wtf is lalisa?
And then they play it and all of them sing it.
Cas says it's the usual background music on facebook vids, dafck? I only hear "baby u don't know me" in those vids. She says Anna plays a lot of kpop in my laptop when she uses it. How could I have not heard her sing it too many times daw.
Ison then says I am just too old and that him, anna, and cas are just the same generation 😂
My taste in music does not reflect my age oi. Just so happened my music world stopped at 2006. Any music after that is new to my ears.

we are all exhausted.

anna even cried out of stress: "why do i have to take care of this little monster (atticus)?"

LOL there comes a point where we dunno whether we should laugh or cry. we love atticus a lot, but he is also malikot and makamatay hahaha

yes, we are all exhausted. 

kanang the baby doesn't want to be put down at all. and the few moments you can actually put him down on the bed, kay naa pas atticus.

i hope buotan ra nis atticus igdako kay so far baya makaimagine nako he will be the bane of his preschool and elementary teachers' lives. LOL

Cas: You're always just either sad or angry. Sometimes sad AND angry. Yes, just those two about everything.  *proceeds to enumerate things/events/ideas/people each followed by my emotion which is sad and/or angry*

Me: Don't you ever see me happy?

Cas: Only when you see food. And then you get sad right after.

Maybe I'm just a really angry person. 

Like the Hulk. I could sometimes look like Jekyll and pretend to be that, but I am always Hyde.

July 21, 2022

so more shopee arrived -- basically just coffee tools and stuff...

*me preparing to make my espresso again, and poured my milk na into the steel jug*

anna: you're gonna make coffee again? ma, you do know that just because you bought these things, it doesn't magically make your coffee taste and look better? it would still be the same.

July 23, 2022

*anna running into the room*
Anna: mama! Atticus is screaming and won't stop!
Me: *so sleepy beside sleeping baby aethan* tell him Baba is going to come home bringing a bucket of chicken 😊😁
Anna: *laughing and almost crying* MAMA! HE IS NOT LIKE YOU LOOKING FOR FOOD ALL THE TIME! It's not like he will magically be okay just because chicken is coming!?!?! Can't you just help us?
😂😂😂 
Anak akong nahbaw-an ra jud pangcomfort kay kaon 😭
PS. Ate cas brought atticus inside the room para magbreastfeed and he calmed down after 😂

Anna: Thank you to everyone who prepared food for my fish's birthday, which is only two people really! Ate inday, Ate beth, ate vic, ate susan, you are all invited to my fish's birthday (popsicles handed out already). There is food inside you have to pass by the security guard!
