He prefers to watch live and interactive gatherings or conversations. TV bores him. Yes, i am telling you. He is a kid outside the box! He can sit through hours of conversations and adult "balitaktakan" and "bidahan" without a wink. I know when he is savoring the moment- it is when he listens with his lips apart and he moves his eyes from person to person engaged in the business of talking. We mostly converse in Tagalog not unless we are driving a scholarly discourse. Once, I guess when he already had a fill of everything he wanted to hear he said: "uwi na tayo. Ilalakad ko pa si Tagpi!"
Sometimes i would forget that he is only a child. At times I would think he was my Dad or somebody else's Lolo. At times an Uncle or a school principal.
His birthday wish was shpageti and shicken. Chocolate cake "para masarap may sprinkles" and fish. " maliliit at malutong".
He speaks in English once in a while but i worry that it is happening more often.
"You want me to give you a gipt? I will gib you a "tale". ( dog leash is his favorite thing in the world) "you want I give retractable tale?"
He is a regular lodger in my house. He sleeps with us almost everyday. Recently his mommy did not want to give in to this nightly demand so she tried to distract him with long kwentuhan. Finally, before he conked out he said, "tenk yu ha por talking to me."
Happy bertdey Justo. You are endearingly baduy and bery bery kul dude.
Sabi nya sa akin kagabi after his long battle with excitement for the next day: "good night Ima. You are so lovely!"
And we have a duet by the way:
Ikaw ang mahal ko
Ikaw ang mahal ko
Tunay na tunay
Sa umaga pati tanghali hanggang gabi.
Oh si Justo ang mahal ko
Si Kuya at si Koko too
Sofia ziva lucy at robyn
Silang lahat mahal ni Ima!
(Repeat refrain)
Last night nga pala, i showed him Ana's IG posts of Jose and Lloyd preparing his diy homemade give aways for today.
Na touch!
He told his Ors: "Ors ayaw ko mamatay si koko pag old na kami ha. "
