a tranquil morning

"Teach your children what we have taught ours, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children."

Aidanic Moment

Yesterday's delight was when I met for the first time one of the most adorable tots on the planet and Facebook. My nephew from Irvine who happened to be just as awesomely cute as Hannah (yes, it's the genes) finally set foot on brown soils. We just played and laughed and giggled the whole afternoon. We're crazy teasing and tickling each other and unfortunately, there was no single indication that he'll run out of serotonin. Haha. He has no idea that I was also geared up that day with "Tita Pretty-I Can Make You Laugh the Whole Day-Powers!"
(wink!)
Then we had a nice and sweet storytelling time which he really loved. I initially tried to push him a little to read but the texts are written in Filipino, quite a foreigh language to him. But I'm pretty sure he'll learn it well soon.

I can't wait to see him again and tell him about The Rich Island.
We had a pinky promise (a promise made between very close friends by entwining their pinky fingers) that he'll call me and we'll meet again in winter break.

For now, I'll just dream of beautifully created gardens of love and laughter for my dearest pamangkins.


"Tita Pretty, you're the best tita in the whole...
(cover your ears mom!)...WORLD!"

All is well for Bollywood and Aamir

Incredible India.
