Yohanism: January 4, 2013 to February 28, 2013
Yohanism:
Me: hon, ano may nakita ka ba dyan?
Si Yohan, hinampas Ako sa braso..
Yohan: don't ever say it!
Me: what did I say???
Yohan: DAMN, don't ever say it.
Me: I didn't say it. I said "DYAN" I'm sorry if you heard it wrong.
;)"
Yohanism: Accent... sleng na sleng lang
Jeff was massaging my thighs and legs.
Yohan gave him a gentle tap on his head and said
Yohan: goodbye papa. Goodbye.
Jeff: why? Where are you going?
Me ( the interpreter) : GOOD BOY raw, for massaging me.
;)"
"Yohanism:
Yohan and I were playing, she put a hat in my right foot and wanted me to raise it.
Yohan: Mommy, Two FOOTS Lang
Me: Yohan, one foot, two feet
Yohan: one foot, two FEETS!
Ayayay!hehehe;)"
Yohanism:
Today's Yohanism is brought to you by Jeff and is TMI..
I was having my pap test done..
Yohan: I don't want to look!
Papa, maybe there is ANOTHER YOHAN inside...
Hehehe.. I laughed so hard when Jeff told me this.. She did not say "baby" but "another Yohan". So cute :)"
"Yohanism: How do you say eagle???
So, I passed Yohan's school application for 2013-2014.. While inside the office
Yohan: mom look! It's an EE-GOL

Err.. Kids, be careful. Hehehehe....

I was looking at Ms Rue's post and realized she had an iPad with keyboard. So I blurted out
Me: ow my God! There's an iPad keyboard?!
Yohan: I don't know.
Hehe, I wasn't even talking to her.. We have those "blurt out loud" moments."
Yohanism: Edward blankie and little BLACK riding hood
The color of the blankie was black..
Yohan was playing with the Edward blankie..
Yohan: mommy, I'm little red riding hood.
I mean GRANDMA, I'm little BLACK riding hood. And that's ( pointed at the fruit basket) my basket!
Yup, she called me grandma. Hehehe
Interesting day
"1.30.2013
Yohanism:
Yohan: let's have a tea Payty ( party), for my friends.
Me: well, first, you should have tea pots, cups and saucers, a table and chairs.

Just like in team umi zumi
Geyto-rations = decorations
---
1.31.13--- UBOS/TAPOS
Yohanism:
Yohan: I'm going to grow up( then giggles)
(She watched something in YouTube, it sounded like an ad for Microsoft, one of those componies)

Yohan: UBOS na
Me: you mean tapos na
Yohan: ow yeah, tapos na Po"
"Yohanism: barok
Yohan: ako, break Ito... (Sabay turo sa hating vase)
Sabi Nya ng pinapaamin namin sya Kung nasira Nya yung vase.
---

Me: Yohan! Magwalis ka na Lang! Wag mo ako galitin.
Yohan: but I am walis-ING!"
Yohanism:
I touched the screen of our laptop, I was trying to help Yohan find her games
Yohan: don't ever touch it mommy. It's not an iPhone!
----
Yohan: can I play games in your iPad?
Me: no, I'm reading. Mommy likes to read. Say, mommy is a bookworm.
Yohan: you're a WORM!
Errr.. Ok...
Yohanism:
Inside Jeff's car
Me: may suklay ka dito?
Jeff: sa tingin mo, nagsusuklay ako?
Yohan: papa, you don't have hair.
Hmmm. May point sila :)"
"Yohanism: Si mommy na ang ita time out, Si mommy pa ang papaluin..what the???
Yohan: subungbong kitah sa papa kho.
Me: e di sumbong mo.
Yohan: Ikaw! Papa, He's going to be mad at you! He's going to palo you!
Me: bakit?
Yohan: sa head ko, you hurt me
Me: bakit? Sinasadya ko ba mauntog ka?
Tahimik sya..
Yohan: I'm cold. (Then nagtalukbong ng blanket)
Yohan: you're going to be outside. Time out ka.
Me: bakit?
Yohan: you hurt me,my head,sa wall
Me: Hindi ko sinasadya nauntog ka. He will not palo me.
----
Earlier...
Yohanism: using her comb/mirror ( gift from Emby)
Yohan: hello? It's me, Yohan.
Me: who are you talking to?
Yohan: it's a boy. Hello? Oops I forgot something
(She pretended she was pressing some buttons)
Yohan: hello, it's me again. My mommy is kidding. She said she will take care of me. Ow yeah? That doesn't sound right. Call me later."
"Yohanism:
Me: Yohan, ang kamay mo malagkit na
She was eating strawberry pancake, may syrup sya sa kamay
Yohan: it's ok mommy. I will put it in my mouth. (Sabay Subo ng mga daliri sa bibig, hm.. Tanggal nga naman ang lagkit)"
"Yohanism:
I gave Yohan cheddar cheese this morning. After about an hour....
Yohan: mommy, I want cheese
Me: I already gave you one, Yohan
Yohan: no, cheese, for the MOUSE
Me: wag mo ako utuin, walang mouse dito."
"Yohanism: Love
Me: galit ka sa akin?
Jeff: no, I'm trying to fix this
Me:I think papa is mad at me, because I broke his computer.. I was just trying to turn it off.
I did not expect what Yohan said next
Yohan: it's me.. I broke it. (Looking at Jeff)
Me: what are you saying? You didn't do anything
Yohan: I did. I pressed "anything", buttons,,
Me: Yohan, you're sweet. I know you didn't. Stop saying it. I broke it.
I think, Yohan didn't like the idea of her papa getting mad at me. ( he wasn't though).. So she admitted to something she didn't do, to spare me his papa's "anger"..
It's love..."

Yohanism: March 28, 2012 July 2012
"Yohanism :
While Jeff is preparing Yohan's milk, getting her ready for bed
Yohan: I will sleep in mommy's bed. YOU SLEEP IN THE COUCH.
I didn't hear this. Jeff just told me. Hehe. I thought it's funny.
------
Tomorrow we are going to the Philippine Consulate for Yohan. I hope we won't have to wait long. I took care of some papers today to help us tomorrow. Good night everyone ;)"
---
Some Yohanisms before I go to bed :)
Yohanism :
After watching Dark Knight Rises, Jeff carried Yohan so we can go to our car quickly. I was browsing to the messages in my phone while walking so I was a little slow. Yohan yelled and said
Yohan : hurry up mommy! RAPIDO!
Hehehe. Huwatt ?? Ow well.
----------
Yohanism:
Every time I call Jeff at work , of course I ask for his name. Yohan wanted to talk to her papa. She grabbed our home phone and handed it to me.
Yohan : mommy, please call Jeffrey.
????Toinks
-------
Yohanism :
While watching Dark Knight Rises, Yohan said " I love you mommy" although we were in the crying room. I still wanted her to be quiet because there were other people. It was a proud mommy moment, and then she said
Yohan: happy fathers day MOMMY
Happy mothers day PAPA.
Errr ok.
Have a good day everyone."
--
Yohanism :
I was telling Yohan how we shouldn't play in the puddles. They make our feet dirty. She said
Yohan : ow, don't worry mommy! I will have my rain boots on and make a splash in the puddles.
I don't want to sound like a racist. But you know how those African American talk? With a different twang? Like you're talking to queen latifah? Ow my! That was Yohan's accent when she was trying to explain to me how she can still play in the puddles. ;)"
---
Yohanism:
Teeth
Yohan: I have nice teeth, right? I brushed it the whole morning. ( then smiled and showed me her pearly whites)
Firetruck, it's 4th of July here :)
Yohan: look mommy, firefighters! They're my friends right?
Fog
Yohan: it's very Smoky today
Mango drink
Yohan: (to Harry, guy at the laundromat who lent his iPad to us)
You want to drink my mango juice?
Avatar
Me: what are you watching Yohan?
Yohan: sea creatures!
To Harry, the man who lent his iPad to us
Yohan: Hey man! Look at my picture.
Harry: you will not have a shortage of friends growing up, I'm telling you.
Yohan: Can we tell your friends?
---
"Yohanism
What's your mommy's name?
Yohan: Junah
Me: what are you eating?
Yohan: happy MEL
Good afternoon :)"
--
Yohanism :
Yohan is the sweetest. We were browsing some pictures and came across a picture that was sent to us by one of Jeff's cousins. At the time the baby was very ill and had nasal cannula to breathe. I heard Yohan saying.
Yohan: ow, poor baby! (pointing at the picture and said) don't worry baby, I will rescue you!
The baby is doing well now :)"
---
Yohanism:
Fortune cookie
Yohan : mommy read it, just like kung fu panda!
Me: you should be able to undertake and COMPLETE anything
Yohan: ow, I don't want to EAT anything.
Me: hehehehehe. She cracks me up."
---
Yohanism:
I heated our left over pizza for 45 seconds in the microwave. We were having breakfast and Yohan said
Yohan: hottt, hottt, hmmm, something is missing.hmm, ....aircon pizza. Can we have it please?
Me: hehe, there's no such thing. Hipan mo na Lang."
---
Yohanism:
Yohan insisted on holding our box of pizza yesterday. While I was opening our door to get in the house. The receipt fell and she blurted.
Yohan: mommy the customer service fell.
I just thought it's cute she calls the receipt, customer service. She likes to play Spongebob's Diner Dash.
-------
We slept late last night. Yohan transferred to our bed in the morning. Around 9am I looked at my iPhone to check the time. I didn't realize she was staring at my face lovingly. I closed my eyes.
Yohan: hey mommy, what are you doing?
Me: sleeping
Yohan: looking at your phone or sleeping?
Me: I just checked the time.
:)"
---
"Yohanism:
Yohan: Can we go to my kanseyt?
Then she started strumming her ukelele and started singing her rockstar song. Then hummed Blue Danube. At first I didn't understand what she meant by kanseyt. Concert pala. :)
---
"Yohanism:
It must be how I constructed my sentence, it's funny to me either way.
I was showering Yohan with kisses when I said
Me: Yohan, you will kiss no one else, only mommy and daddy ok?
Yohan: but I want to kiss no one else.
Sa Hindi naka gets, ewan ko sa inyo. Hehe"
---
"Yesterday napatunayan kong ayaw ako mapahiya ni Yohan. I asked her in front of everyone I was with yesterday, kung sino ang best friend Nya. I was anticipating "papa" to be her answer, since she's been consistently saying so. I was so surprised when she said "mommy!" ;) aww. I love you Yohan.
Ow in fairness, we called Jeff at work today and Yohan said she misses him at binati ng happy fathers' day. More like " do you miss me papa?" Pareho na rin yon. Hehe."
---
Yohanism:
So for the first time in almost 10 months I drove our small car (ika ni Yohan) (Honda hatchback) again. I had to Dahil nagpa rehistro ako kanina. I forgot how much I love driving that car. Si Yohan Hindi napigilan ang damdamin. Dahil naka park sa labas ng bahay at di sa garahe, Medyo madumi ang windshield Nya.
Yohan: where's our big car? ( she got used to riding with me in the other one)
Me: papa used it for work.
Yohan: but I want the big car (yes, mapili na sya, siguro Dahil ang car seat Nya doon ay mas kumportable)
mommy, this car is dirty. we need a car wash.
Hehe. Napatawa ako."
--
Yohanism :
Yohan : singing -->
I'm gonna be a wakstay (rockstar) , just like a wakstay :)"
---
Yohanism:
I just cooked sinigang na pork. So nag lambing ako and asked for coffee from Jeff. Prior to that Yohan wanted dede. She said
Yohan: mommy, I said dede in a bottle. Wait for your turn.
Hehe. Sya nga naman nauna mag request. :)"
---
"Yohanism and Supladong Jeff
Jeff was babbling, he knows how excited I am about seeing an Audi R8 on the road, he told me he saw one this afternoon in Seaside. Then Yohan said
"guys! what's the kamoso (commotion)"?
--------
Supladong Jeffrey Laureles Belen
Forgive me if I found this funny, sorry sa maooffend, sana wala, hehe
I was watching The next big thing in Nick.. Jeff just got home and said
"can you change the channel? ang panget panget naman ng babae na yan e!"
ayayay! I laughed so hard, hehehe..
I have a kareyzee family.."
==
"Yohanism:
Yohan was playing with one of her toys and it was making so much noise. I asked her numerous times to stop. She did, eventually.
Then, she turned on our iPod (on speaker) I told her to turn it off. Like three times, on the fourth time I told her I will put her on time out if she would not. Finally she did.
Then she got a hold of our broom and tried to sweep our carpet (not the kitchen floor)
I just said "Yohan" very calmly. She ran so fast and said
"ow! I will put it back now!
Hehe. Yohan Lang sinabi ko, Alam na Nya ang kasunod. Sana nga ibalik sa kusina ang walis tambo e :) she read what's in my mind. :)"
--
"Yohanism:
I heated pizza in the microwave. I came running to our living room, Yohan and I were watching Madacascar 2
Me: what did I miss? What happened???
Yohan: (excited to tell what happened? TIGER! BABY! STUCK! BOX!
Me: thank you.
She meant the cub was stuck inside the box. :)
--
Yohanism:
Yohan: I love you papa. Thank you for being my best friend.
(then she hugged and kissed him)
I almost cried when Jeff told me this over the phone. She has never said those words to me. Hmmm. Maybe because I'm too strict?"
--
Yohanism:
I'm so proud of Yohan. She really has good memory. A few weeks ago. Jeff forgot his wallet. He uttered it out loud while driving. Yohan heard, and so I told her
Me: when papa goes out, please remind him of his wallet ok?
Today, Jeff was on his way out when Yohan called his attention and said
"papa! Don't forget your wallet!"
-----
Today Jeff and I are planning to clean out bathroom, so we took everything out.
Yohan: mommy, I need to go
I was brushing my teeth, so I just nodded. She took off her diaper and said "where's the trash can?" so I pointed, it was near the kitchen. She went and threw it. She sat and said
Yohan: mommy can you stay away, please?
(she meant for me to go out of the bathroom for privacy because she needed to go)"
--
Sunday:
I left a quarter of monterey jack cheese on the table for our spaghetti. I heard Jeff got home so I came out of the bedroom.
Yohan: guys, I'm sorry I ate your cheese mommy.
-----
While watching Hatfields and Mccoys.
Me: siguro kung nabuhay ako noon, namatay na ako sa childbirth. (seryoso, sad thought)
Jeff: siguro ang payat ko
Me:???
Jeff: ang konti ng pagkain e
Ayayay!"
---
"Yohanism:
Yohan: hello! Yohan speaking. Hello? Hello? Alvin? You're not Alvin? I'm sorry.
Hehe, all those, without anyone on the other end. And yes with a toy phone. :)"
---
"Yohanism:
Awww Yohan is so sweet.
I was reading a book and Yohan asked if I was happy. I said " no, I will only be happy if you brush your teeth" a few minutes later she called and showed me her tummy in a funny way. I started laughing. She said " see I can make you happy"
Just sweet :)"
---
"Yohanism:
Scene at Walmart.
Jeff placed Yohan inside the shopping cart for a quick trip, we only needed soy sauce for our adobo and tomato sauce for spaghetti. While in the cart, Yohan was screaming.
Yohan: FIRE IN THE HOLE!"
---
"Yohanism:
Yohan: sa, sa, ( for the letter s sound)
A, a
Ta, Ta, ( for t)
Me: s-a-t, sat
Yohan : SAP!
Anyare sa T? :)"
---
"Yohanism:
Yohan: look why I found?!
Jeff: what did you find?
Yohan: a dibidi!
Hehe. Pinoy na Pinoy Lang ang Pronunciation. ;)"
---
Yohanism:
I was teaching Yohan to write the letter "n". She was having a hard time with her right hand, so I grabbed her left and continued writing. When we were done. She said
Yohan: how about my toes mommy?
Sabay taas ng paa Nya malapit sa face ko.
Goodness! :)
---
Yohanism:
Yohan opened one of my drawers. When she was trying to push it to close. She was having a hard time and blurted
Yohan: are you kidding?!"
---
Yohanism: I was trying to take a pic of Jessica Sanchez on tv.
Yohan: tv! Smile!
:)"
--
may 8, 2012
Tonight Yohan asked
Are you afraid of the dark mommy?"
---
Yohanism:
Hehe you know your child is expanding her vocabulary if she uses words you don't use at HOME often.
Me: Yohan, where did you put our comb?
I can't find it.
Yohan: me either
I forgot about the comb when she replied that way.
----
Me: Yohan can you get mommy's notebook
Yohan: I can't hear you mommy.
Me: Huwatt?
Hehe"
---
Yohanism:
Yohan : I'm so hungry
Me: what do you want, toast or cereals?
Yohan: TOST
Hehehe, another one. We were talking about boats and she said BOTS. Hay, I just love her accent and pronunciation. So cute"
---
Yohanism:
Yohan: I want to pop a pata!
Gusto raw Nya humampas sa piñata. :)
------
Yohan wanted me to hold her hotdog. So I placed it on her carseat's cup holder. She said
Yohan: it's very dirty mommy.
Kaya pala naman pinapahawakan sa akin."
---
Yohanism:
Yohan is really a good observant. While on the swing, she saw "something" flying. She said, she wanted a closer look at the "butterfly". When she got down the swing and heading closer to the "butterfly". It flew away, and then she said. "where did the dragonfly go mommy?"
It was indeed a dragonfly :)"
---
"Yohanism:
Mommy, ant! There's ant! (screaming and pointing at our sofa) so I rescued her and squooshed the helpless ant.
Yohan: (with a sad face) ow, THE ANTS LOST A FAMILY...
Now, I feel guilty for squooshing that little thing.
------
I was on the phone with a Target associate asking if they have a certain book in stock. Yohan hurriedly went to our bedroom and handed me a copy of Harry Potter's Deathly Hallows. Huwatt?
----
My husband was on the phone with a Costco associate, when he told me they have the book. I screamed and told him "ow, please, let's go now!"
Jeff: are you serious?
Yohan: ARE YOU SERIOUS MOMMY?
I laughed so hard.
Then I said I really want to go, it's almost 6pm. I watched tv and slept almost the entire day but suddenly got the energy to go Costco. :) And then while Yohan was walking away going back to our bedroom. She said
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?"
Interesting day. Ow! Word of the day
Salamat. Yohan's version ---> Samayat. :)"
---
"Yohanism:
At El Rancho grocery:
I was picking potatoes and one piece fell onto the floor.Before I even utter a single word. Yohan blurted
Yohan: Ay! nahulog!
;)
-----
While putting her car seat latch belt.
Me: Yohan, ayos upo please.
Yohan: it's already ayos upo mommy.
Hehe. Wrong grammar pero
We understood each other :)"
--
"Yohanism:
Not for people who are just about to have their meals.
I ate banana and toast for breakfast. I must have eaten really fast because my tummy ached. You know that sudden pang of pain when you ate dry food? So, I touched my tummy and cringed in pain. Yohan was looking at me, normally she would say "are you ok mommy?" well she said
Yohan: Go poop mommy!
Hehehe"
---
Yohanism:
Every time I would make Yohan agree with what I say, I would urge her to say "yes mommy or opo mommy".
Example : Yohan, no spilling ok? Don't make a mess. Say "yes mommy"
Today, we went to the park.
Me: did you have fun at the park?
Yohan: yes, let's do that again mommy! Say "YES YOHAN!"
Me: yes Yohan :)
Huwatt! Hehehe
---
Yohanism:
Good Friday.
Yohan and I are eating chocolates. She set aside one piece for Jeff. She said " this is for mommy, this is for Yohan and this is is for papa"
When Jeff came out of the bathroom and Yohan saw him, she looked at me and said
" I need to HIDE the chocolit"
Hehehe. What happened to sharing?"
--
"I'm glad Yohan is learning how to share. We were eating chocolates this afternoon. There were 2 pieces left, she said "we need to give this to papa" <--- verbatim."
--
Yohanism:
I was so tired from work I accidentally slept in our living room. I was too lazy to get up and go to bed. My mouth was probably dry because I coughed in the middle of the night. I heard Yohan rushing to me.
Yohan: mommy, are you ok?
I couldn't answer right away, oblivious to the fact that my daughter got up from bed just to ask if I was ok because I was coughing.
Yohan: mommy, are you ok?
Me: yes, yes, I'm ok. I'm sleepy.
Yohan; shhhh, be QUIET.
Huwatt?? Hehe"
--
Yohanism:
Me: where are my slippers Yohan?

Yohanism: August 6, 2012 to January 3, 2013
Yohanism:
Remember the Christmas song of Spongebob?
I put Yohan on time out. I was feeding her dinner. When she's almost done she stood up and played with baby powder. I told her to stop. At pag tumayo ako at Hindi pa sya natigil, ita time out ko sya.
She didn't stop. I put her on time out.
She was in a corner..
Yohan: singing (insert Spongebob's Christmas song here)
Aba!"
--
Yohanism:
Ate Myra: ba! Bakit ganyan ang computer?
Naka tagilid ang laptop.. Alam nyo yung parang libro na pinatayo? Ganon..
So inayos ko.
Me: Yohan! Masisira ang laptop
Yohan: mommy! It's upside down!
When I looked at the video. She was watching YouTube. Naka tagilid pala ang pag upload. Kaya tinagilid Nya... Para nga naman Hindi sya mahirapan. Yong laptop na ang itinagilid Nya. :)"
---
Yohanism:
Yesterday:
While inside the car, on a red light.
Yohan: mommy! Look,
a KA-MET!
I looked at her with my confused eyes.
Then, I looked up and saw a jet leaving contrails in the blue skies.
:)
Happy New Year To All!"
---
I'd like to share a message I sent my husband earlier..
"Grabe, na sad ako..
Kanina, sa bed. Nagsalita si Yohan na naiiyak. Sabi Nya " I want to go home to my papa"
I kissed her right away and said " papa will be here on Monday, you don't like me na?"
"I like you, and papa, TOGETHER" tapos napa iyak sya..
Grabe, emotional sa akin yung pangyayari.. Paano Nya yon naisip? Na wala ka dito this week :( ""
---
"Yohanism: Karate in noodles...
Today I cooked spaghetti and I remembered a comment Yohan made the other night when I was feeding her lucky me instant noodles. ( it was almost midnight when she got hungry again, and the quickest meal I could make was instant noodles with rice;)
I was cutting the noodles with Yohan's fork ( forgive me, mommy.. When my mother saw me did this when I was younger, when she made spaghetti, she reprimanded me and said "you're breaking the chef's heart" yes, verbatim. it was in Kuya Ruben's house..)
it's easier to feed Yohan that way... The noodles in lucky me and the normal spaghetti pasta are so much different. (Hehe, in my defense)
Yohan: mommy? Are you doing KARATE??
Then, it dawned on me.. It was because I was like chopping the noodles. Karate chop? ;)"
---
Yohanism:
I gave Yohan Flintstone's chewable vitamins.
Yohan: Mommy, I want the angry birds vitamins.
Me: Yohan, hindi vitamins yon, candies yon
Yohan: WHAT??!!! Are you kidding me???!!!
Hehe, napahagalpak Lang ako..."
--
"Yohanism:
Yohan: that's an "Ele-phEnt" ( pertaining to the seal in the movie about penguins)
Masyado Lang Sleng na sleng.... :)
Yohan: see there are Peoples
Me: people Lang, without "s"
Yohan: Can you hear it? Who is it? ( she heard something, I didn't )
Me: I don't know...
Yohan: I think it's booboobabe
I laughed so hard...
Me: sinong booboobabe?
Yohan: yung booboobabe ni Kuya Jetjet
Btw, Jet calls his gf "booboobabe" ;)"
--
"Yohanism: Children are observant
Yohan was watching a colleague of Jeff punch in for work. We have met the person before. At that time , she was not out in the closet yet
Yohan: (with her wrinkled forehead and pouty lips)
That's not a girl.... That's a boy!
I saw Nick left with a smile, but I felt bad and embarrassed. So, I approached her at her workstation, I touched her right hand, looked her in her eyes and apologized profusely. She was kind.
Btw, she is beautiful, pointed nose, high cheek bones, titian hair, blue eyes (real), red and green color finger nails. And although she is white she speaks Korean.
Although our children have shortcomings, we still love them nonetheless. I already talked to Yohan not to say/do it again.
Merry Christmas."

Yohanism:
Yohan : mommy, can we go to Chuck E. Cheese?

I was cutting the noodles with Yohan's fork ( forgive me, mommy.. When my mother saw me did this when I was younger, when she made spaghetti, she reprimanded me and said "you're breaking the chef's heart" yes, verbatim. it was in Kuya Ruben's house..)
it's easier to feed Yohan that way... The noodles in lucky me and the normal spaghetti pasta are so much different. (Hehe, in my defense)
Yohan: mommy? Are you doing KARATE??
Then, it dawned on me.. It was because I was like chopping the noodles. Karate chop? ;)"

"Yohanism: Children are observant
Yohan was watching a colleague of Jeff punch in for work. We have met the person before. At that time , she was not out in the closet yet
Yohan: (with her wrinkled forehead and pouty lips)
That's not a girl.... That's a boy!
I saw Nick left with a smile, but I felt bad and embarrassed. So, I approached her at her workstation, I touched her right hand, looked her in her eyes and apologized profusely. She was kind.
Btw, she is beautiful, pointed nose, high cheek bones, titian hair, blue eyes (real), red and green color finger nails. And although she is white she speaks Korean.
Although our children have shortcomings, we still love them nonetheless. I already talked to Yohan not to say/do it again.
Merry Christmas."

Yohan caught Jeff eating her bacon.
Yohan: papa! Stop eating my ONLY food!
Jeff: napagalitan pa tuloy ako."
---
Yohanism:
Yohan: mommy, I'm hungry.
Me: do you want to eat my chicken soup?
Yohan: nope, I want coco puffs, no milk, no spoon.
Wow! She really knows what she wants. I can't wait to hear what she'd say when she's old enough to order at a restaurant.

"Yohanism:
Me: are you feeling better?
Yohan: I'm much better mommy. See?
Can we eat some chocolates now?
Huwatt?! Ayayay! Di nakalimutan ang promise ko sa kanya."

Yohanism:
Yohan after eating ice cream.
Yohan : hon, give me the remote.
Me: (I laughed because that's what I call my husband, she saw me laughed, and then she said)
Yohan: honey, give me the remote.

Hehehe. It's funny to me because that's how I talk to Jeff when I need the remote. Nalimutan ko mag please. Sa lahat naman ng gagayahin o."

Yohanism:
While browsing through pictures in my phone's camera. Yohan saw her passport photo.
Yohan: ow! You took a picture of my license.
Me: hehe. Yohan this is not your license. This is a picture of your passport.

Toinks. It's just cute. I lost my driver's license and when I told her we had to have it replaced, I now know, she knew what (license) I was talking about. The one with her mommy's picture on it, because she mistook her passport photo as her license :)"

"Yohanism:
I forgot to post this because I got so busy.
While walking going to UPS. Yohan kept on clapping and saying
Yohan: tweet! Tweet! Tweet!
Me: what are you doing?
She did not look at me, her attention was focused up in the sky. I looked up and saw a flock.
Yohan: tweet! Calling the birds. Tweet! (clap,clap)

Ikaw na ! Nagkakaintindihan kayo ng birds anak. :)"

"Yohanism:
I told Yohan we're going to the DMV.
While at the DMV
Yohan: mommy can we go to embee now?
Me: we're here now. DMV, not MV Yohan.
-------
In the car
Yohan: mommy can we go to embee now, my friend?
She meant embong her friend. All the while when I told her DMV, she thought we're going to see Emby her friend. Now she's whining.
Yohan : I want Embong! I want to see Embong. ---"
