i got this big scar on the back of my thumb, and it reminds me of the future….

I still can remember the day when my late mother told me not to play with my father’s bolo, and saw her hid the thing under our kitchen cabinet, that very same day afternoon, I got a big bandage on my left thumb, my eyes are swollen and my voice is husky. The very next day, I’m looking for the bolo again.

Bata Batuta

Bata batuta sampera’ng muta
Nakow! sobrang likot, ‘hirap maapula
Sa pinipigilan mo’y siyang ginagawa
Kailangan’y hinahon’t pasensyang mahaba

Ubod nga ng pilyo’t malubha sa kulit
Likas na pasaway makapanot anit
Kulang pang-unawa, tawagin nga’y paslit
Halik nila’t lambing, “aba at kay bait”

Ay nakasimangot, ‘di kaayaaya
‘Di magandang kilos saan nya nakuha
Malamang kay Daddy/Mommy, sa kanya nagmana
Matamis na ngiti’y sa ‘kin kopyang-kopya

    Hahaha!
    Don’t you just hate it when your little boy has done a naughty thing and he simply looks at you with a devilish smirk on his face?

    Grr! Josh is so pasaway!
