my mom was telling me she gave the good day talk to the students at mary help of christians school, my old school. martin studies there. everyday, there's a speaker who gives the good day talk, kinda like a thought for the day for the students.

mama was telling the story of her life back when she was a kid. she worked in the fileds blah blah blah...earned 25¢...in short, she didn't really have much.

and then some friends--parents of martin's classmates--phoned her up. apparently, martin's classmates wouldn't believe my mom's life story. they were like, "eh mommy, hindi naman yata totoo yung story ni tita janet eh. kasi si jm, maraming toys and maraming games para sa gameboy niya..." it went on and on. haha. so funny.

paano naman kasi, my old school knows us naman eh. duh. they've got a point anyway. we're not rich (nangangarap lang...), but it's still hard to believe mama's story when those students listening to her know that her daughters go to an exclusive school for girls and her only son gets, like, all the video games he wants. and with mom herself going back and forth from the US these past years (mostly to see her friends), it's easy to imagine they don't believe all of her story. haha.

i told mom about that, and she was trying to defend her story. heehee. debate-debate! haay...hehehe. nakakabangag ngayon, for some reasons...
