me and da kids

yup, that's me with two adorable kids and nope, they're not mine.

i'm so happy i decided to go home after our recollection. these pamangkin's only visit our compound every now and then. most of these every now and then's, i'm not there... so it is pure jooooy (!) to see them all again. as you can see i am beaming.

kenken, the boy on my lap, has just reminded me of his christmas gift. he says i keep on postponing the gift i promised him last year. kaela, the hazy girl on my right, was having a hard time pronouncing my name. the most she could mumble was "tito ato" -- good enuf for me.

being with them is one of life's simplest joys.

hay. i'm so happy being a tito.
