The Amazing Mini-Me

Happy Birthday Luisa! You never cease to amaze me.

My niece, Luisa turns a year older today. A few days back she called me to tell me that she's celebrating her birthday at Richmonde Hotel with her family. I excitedly asked, "so kasama ako?". She replied "Family nga eh!". Oh my bad! Family for her meant her dad, mom & Kuya Cholo. The celebration at the hotel was also a blowout since she got accelerated. She's skipping prep level and now an incoming grade 1 student. Galing!

I'm in awe of what she does and what she says. One time at dinner table she told told her mom, "Mommy magboboyfriend ako pag 25 na ko". Everyone's jaw dropped. She just said it out of nowhere. She can be very talkative & tactless at times. Every time she gets into my car, she starts talking until we reach our destination. Non-stop! But she's only like that with people that she knows.

The most hilarious thing happened about a month ago. Lui used to have acrush with a former classmate at Claret CSC - Carl Tongol. Everyone in our family has heard of Carl Tongol. Since she was accelerated and tranferring to a new school, there was no way that she can still see Carl Tongol. But by stroke of luck, Carl Tongol started calling her up at home. The yaya said the two would talk for hours with Lui's feet up on the couch. It went on for days. But I guess, Lui wasn't ready for anything (Ahahaha!). She instructed her yaya that the next time Carl Tongol calls, say that she's not home. But wait there's more, she said "Sabihin mo nasa Bulacan ako!". Gosh, she has not been to Bulacan and we don't even have relatives there!

Luisa, nag-iisa ka! I'm so proud of you.
