One afternoon, Anika wanted to buy VFresh (the bubblegum) and I took this as an opportunity to teach her money math.
ANIKA: Nanay, can I buy VFresh for myself, Zara and Tanya?
ME: How much is it?
ANIKA: One peso.
I brought out my coins from my wallet.
ME: How many will you buy?
ANIKA: Three each.
ME: So how many is that?
ANIKA: Three, four-five-six, seven-eight-nine! Nine, Nanay!
ME: Okay so how much do you need?
ANIKA: Huh?
ME: How many one peso coin do you need? How much is that?
ANIKA: I don’t get your question.
ME: Di ba you want to buy 9 VFresh? Tapos one peso isa? If you have 9 one peso coin, what do you have?
ANIKA: VFresh!!!
Onga naman!

While driving to Anilao, I was telling Alvin how I’ve changed in my grocery shopping.
ME: Alam mo Babe, ang laki din ng pinagbago ko.
ALVIN: Bakit?
ME: Dati, bara bara lang ako maggrocery. Kuha lang ako ng kuha ng items without thinking. Ngayon, ang kinukuha ko lang is yung mga wala lang tayo. Napapanis kasi pagmadaming stock ng food eh.
ALVIN: Eh di that’s good.
ME: Yun lang. Pagbukas ko ng ref natin, wala masyadong laman. Hindi katulad dati na punong puno ng kung ano ano.
ALVIN: Okay lang yun.
ME: Ang lungkot tuloy ng ref natin.
ALVIN: Pucha! Hayaan mo na yun! Wala namang feelings yun! Kaysa ako malungkot sa gastos di ba?!
Lelz.

Again, while driving to Anilao, Alvin mentioned that Paul and Tin are having a staycation at Dusit that day.
ME: Kita mo Babe. Dapat ganun tayo. Nagse-staycation ng walang occasion na tayong dalawa lang. Maganda yun for our relationship. At least may me-time na tayong dalawa lang.
ALVIN: Mura lang kaya sa Dusit. Yung mga gusto mong pagstaycationan, ang mamahal eh!
ME: Uy hindi ha! Mahal din sa dusit!
ALVIN: Mura.
ME: Mga 7,000 din yun.
ALVIN: Hindi noh!
ME: Pusta!
ALVIN: Sige 500!
ME: Deal!
ALVIN: Ilabas mo 500 mo! Hindi ka nagbabayad pagnatatalo ka sa pustahan eh.
We each took out 500 peso bill. Alvin called Paul. Apparently, the room costs Php 8,000 pero may discount eklaver sila so they only got it for around Php 3,000.
Hahaha! I win so I grabbed na the 2 500 peso bill!
ALVIN (while grabing the bills from me): Hindot! Teka! Madaya! I google mo muna!
ME: Anong igogoogle ko?!
ALVIN: Tingnan mo. May 5,000 pesos na room sa Dusit! Dali i-google mo!
ME: So ano pustahan?
ALVIN: Ang pustahan may 5,000 pesos na room sa Dusit. Pag lahat mas mahal, panalo ka.
I gooogled and found a room for Php 5,000. Naka-promo.
ME: Nakapromo sila eh!!!!
ALVIN (grabbed the 500 bills from me): Hahahahahaha! Panalo ako!
ME: Ah ganun ha? Mura pala ang Php 5,000 room para sayo.
ALVIN: Hindi ah. Mura sa akin yung Php 1,200 na room.
ME: San naman yang overnight stay na Php 1,200 na yan?!
ALVIN: Sa SOGO!
ME: Sogo?! Dadalhin mo ako sa Sogo?!
ALVIN: Oo bakit?! Ano sabi ni Robin Padilla?! Pagmahal mo, i-SOGO mo!
Leche.
