Why is opa in the hospital?

Filed under: Close to Me,Mom Bares — kengkay @ 6:34 hapon

Although we have prepared the girls about it, but still, MC wont keep still inn asking on why opa must go to the hospital; especially today where opa’s already been admitted. He would be operated on early tomorrow.

We already told them before that opa must go to the hospital because there’s something wrong with a part of his body and it would be ‘repaired’ by the doctor so that everything would be right again.

But you see, they noticed a bit of irregularities; especially today. And I’ve been peppered with questions until the sandman came.

Why should oma go for a ‘vacation’ to Tante Ingrid? Why wont oma stay with us then? Why must opa go to the hospital? How long should he stay there? Who would take care of oma? Why is opa crying? Why is oma crying? Why must opa go to the hospital?

Could we call the opa? Why are you calling a different number? Opa is not at home anymore? Why must opa go to the hospital? When could the oma stay with us? Could we visit him there? Why could we not visit him there?

Is he alone? But there are a lot of people in the hospital, right? What would he eat? Why must opa go to the hospital? Could we take care of the oma?

These questions kept on pouring from MC’s mouth. Sometimes I could satisfy her with my answers but most of the time, she would simply drag more questions from the depth of her soul. And as I told my husband, MC’s greatly affected by all these things.

She’s confused by the ‘abnormalities’ that opa’s hospitalization brought into us. We could only try, as a family, to show her that everything is okay; by doing ‘normal’ everyday things and by keeping to our scheduled ‘promises’ to them, as much as possible.

It is not easy, but together, we’d be stronger.

Hotdog

Filed under: Dito sa Amin,Europe,Oyropa Ko — kengkay @ 6:31 hapon

 Waaaa, ang laki ng hotdog de vah! Na shocking boogie rin ako nung nakita ko yan, as in, pulang pula pa. Sempre sabi ng mga little kengkays agad, ‘nanay kengkay, ayan na yung pulang hotdog na gustong gusto naming kainin  sa pinas.’

Hay oo naman, labs na labs nila ang pulang hotdog na galing sa Pinas.

Sa totoo lang, hindi nga sila kumakain ng mga pretending the hotdogs dito kasi iba daw lasa.

At sempre, ang mga hotdogs ng alemanya e maputla at ang tawag nila e wieneler o kaya may konting pink na ang tawag naman e wursts pero may nadiskubre ako na mahabang hetdeg talaga, ang tawag e zwinswurst — mahaba pero payat. Kapag nilalagay nga nila sa tinapay e as in tinitiklop ng tatlo o dalawang beses kasi nga super habaaaaa.

Heniway, ang super hotdog na yan e sempre isang basurahan lamang po. Sayang naman ang pagkapula nya, hehe. Ang kyut ng mga basurahan dito sa Alemanya kapag may piesta at peryahan kasi iba’t ibang klase at uri sya. Minsan nga akala ko e display lang sya, hmppfff – eng eng ko talaga.

Ano pa nga, nung one time na pinilit kong pechuran ang mga basurahang yan e pinagtitinginan talaga ako ng mga tao :) Pwes, tumingin sila. Basta alam ko may i bo blog ako, hahaha

Pasensya na pala at di ako maka blog hop o maka sagot sa

mga comments, merong family emergency lang…

Pasilip Naman

Filed under: Dito sa Amin,Europe,Kwentong Kengkay,Kwentong Kengkoy,Oyropa Ko — kengkay @ 7:09 hapon

Ehehehe, oo sinilipan ko yung aming kasamang nag camping din. Yung kamag anak nung ayaw mag camping :D

Sinilip ko yung kanilang camping space na ang tawag dito e wohnmobil o bahay na gumagalaw :) Sinilipan ko sila kasi sigurado ko gusto ninyong silipan din sila. O de vah, para sa inyo e naging peeping kengkay ako.

At eto ang ebidensya ng aking pagiging peeping kengkay…. dyaraaannnn

Ayan ang front tent nya, na talaga naman pong gawa lang sa trapal pero kumpleto yan: merong oven na de gasul, may pridyider, may mga lamesa at silya na may kutson at mga aparador na puno ng porcelana at kutsara’t tinidor at baso as in may wine glasses, beer glasses, cheche bureche pa yan ha. At sempre, puno din ng inumin na kung ano ano at pagkain na kung ano ano pa. Dun sa pintong may kurtina, andun na yung wohnmobil mismo na kung saan andun yung tulugan, sala, palikuran, at toilet. Pero mamya na kung pechurss…
O ayan yung mismong kinatatayuan nung wohnmobil. Di ba sosyal, parang may sariling garden ka na pagkalaki laki talaga. As in may summer pavilion pa sila kamo sa labas.
Ayan, pasok ulit tayo. Hawiin ang kurtina at eto na ang unang tatambad sa inyo, edi ba may sala nga? Edi may telebisyon din, sempre pa, de cable po dito! Hindi ko alam kung may kapuso at kapamilya, hehe
Medyo papasok ka sa isang makipot na corridor at ayan na ang master’s bedroom ika nga. Waaa, wag na panisnin yung malaking bra na nakahambalos dyan, bagong gising kasi yung mga may ari nung ginambala ko sila e, baka may na istorbo ako— basta, hindi akin yan, pramis — hahahaha
Sa pagitan ng sala at ng master’s bedroom ay may maliit na pinto kung saan andun ang maliit na palikuran at toilet. As in, patagilid ka dapat gumalaw pero kapag kasing liit ko, pwede kang mag ballroom dancing :)
O ayan ang sala, di ba ang laki? Sempre pwedeng maging kama rin yan. At tingnan nyo naman ang aparador, totyal na totyal.
Ayan ang hitsura ng wohnmobil sa labas. Imagine na iiwan mo lahat ng gamit mo dyan tapos pagbalik mo e andun pa rin ang gamit mo? Magic di ba? Kasi dyan na talaga nakalagak yang bahay na gumagalaw na yan… as in most of the year. Minsan lang nila tigbakin kapag mag camping sila sa ibang lugar pero pagkatapos nun, ibabalik ulit nila dyan. Grabe ano?

Pero sa totoo lang, madali lang daw sya gawin. E sempre kasi naman tagal na nilang ginagawa nyan. Sabi ko nga kay kengkoy, pwede kayang sa sunod na mag camping kami e mag rent kami ng bahay na gumagalaw?

Oo daw pero naku, ang renta pala ng ganyan e parang isang hotel room na rin… so parang mas gusto kong mag hotel na lang kesa magsiksikan kami :) Ano sa tingin nyo?

Ibon

Filed under: Dito sa Amin,Oyropa Ko — kengkay @ 12:17 hapon

Kita nyo yang ibon na yan? Kyut di ba? Isa sya sa mga ‘campers’!

Kapag oras na ng kainan, lilipad na yan sa bawat table at makiki-kain. Hindi sya takot sa tao kasi isang camper ang nagpalaki sa kanya sa mismong camping area kung saan kami e napadpad. Kaya sanay syang makipag-halubilo sa mga tao at sa kapwa hayop nya.

Ayan na nga, kahit spaghetti e pinatapatulan nya. Naubos nya yan habang nakatungtong sya sa mga darili ha.

Basta kapag oras na ng kainan, magpaparinig na yan. Pa twit twit na sya sa isang tabi. At sempre, dahil pa kyut sya; dami naman naku-kyutan sa kanya at daming nagbibigay ng pagkain sa kanya. Mabuti nga kamo at hindi sya nabobondat kundi papano pa sya lilipad, di ba?

Who’s Getting Married?

Filed under: Mom Bares,My Girls Talk — kengkay @ 11:12 umaga

If you are, please, please I am begging you to invite us to your wedding.

We would come as ‘observers.’

Nope, we dont have to join the reception; and nope, you dont have to reserve a table for us. We could do the eating later. Unless you would have a wonderful reception that would make both my little girls eyes bulge in wonder and glee — we could bring our own folding chairs and some popcorn to munch on.

Because you see, my girls are now oh so fascinated with weddings and all the krim krams that comes with it – the beautiful flowing dress, the long veil, the tiara, the fascinating hair styles, the church and restaurant decors, the bouquet and the wedding ceremony plus maybe the cutting of the cake, the doves, the toast, etc.

Of course, they want to oggle finely dressed guests and the colorful clothes of the whole entourage. As they say, ‘They look like princes and princesses!.’

And dont worry, I already explained to them about the role of the flower girls; which they have high hopes of being one in the future. And nope, they wont try to fall in line and join the flower girls (I hope) – I told them they should quietly observe first so they would know what to do in the future :D

I promised to watch out for the wedding notices in our church, and I did. But we dont seem to find a wedding that would fit our weekend schedule!

They have been wanting to gate crash whenever they would find churches and restaurants and houses covered with wedding fineries; I could only beg them to have more patience.

The kids have been begging me to find a wedding soon for them to look forward to; yet there’s been no success. Thus, the appeal here :) So, anyone?
