Kuya

I was looking for something in my old journal when I came across this old entry from around a year and a half ago. Figured I'd post it here, kasi, pa-cute ako eh.

My baby sister woke up early today excited for a classmate's costume birthday party, even though it won't be until 4pm later. After she woke up, she walked into my room, where I wrapped my arms around her and sat her on my lap and asked her about the party.

Me: "Sino ka? Ano yung costume mo?"

Her: "Belle."

Me: "Ahh, bell. Paano yun mamaya, magri-ring ka dun?"

Her: "Ehhhh! Hindi yung ganung bell!"

Me: "Eh ano?"

Her: "Yung sa 'Beauty and the Beast.'"

Me: "Ahh, ok ah, Beauty and the Beast, bagay sa 'yo, mag-maskara ka na lang para mukha ka talagang man-ster!"

Her: "Ehhhh! Hindi naman monster yun si Belle, tao yun!"

Me: "Tao ba yun? Mukha lang talaga siyang man-ster, ganun? Eh ba't sa picture?"

Her: "Ehhhh! Hindi!"

Me: "Eh ano?"

Her: "Siya yung babae dun!"

Later, my mom makes her tell me about her cultural presentation later this month, which would involve her class singing a Japanese song.

Me: "Ah, alam ko kung anong Japanese song yung kakantahin niyo... Voltes V!"

Her: "Ehhhh! Hindi!"

She then proceeds to sing the song for me.

Her: "Yare en soran soran soran hai hai!"

Me: "Haik haik!"

Her: "Hai! Walang 'k' yung hai!"

Me: "Hi hi!"

Her: "Hindi hi, hai!"

Me: "Hi nga!"

Her: "Ang kuliiiiiit!"

Even later, my mom makes her sing her alma mater song. She sings in a very soft voice.

Mom: "Ano ba 'yan, ang hina naman ng boses mo, mas malakas pa diyan yung boses ng ipis ah."

Her: "Ehhhh!"

Me: "Oo nga, narinig ko nga yung ipis kanina kumanta, 'Yare no soren, haik haik haik!'"


But she looks really pretty in her princess dress (complete with 'em long white gloves). She really could pass for Belle. It almost makes up for the fact that she has to go through life with an ass for a kuya :p
