Hep Hep Hooray!

Last night, as I was having my dose of television, I saw Ayex took her microphone. I thought she’s going to sing her heart out again, which she usually does at night-time when almost everyone at home and in our neighbor are already sleeping. She did that at a much later time.

She walked in this very funny way while saying echos – echos – hep hep horay! I understood that she is playing hep hep horay with me and Ate Jinky but I didn’t get what she’s saying before she says hep hep horay. She alternately points the mic to me and to Ate Jinky and we should say hep hep horay after her. Twice, Ate Jinky tried saying it with actions and Ayex almost poked her with the microphone! Bad girl!

So as she alternates between me and Ate Jinky, I asked Ate Jinky if she knows what Ayex is saying before the hep hep horay and even the walk she is doing. It turns out that it is how the game master acts as they play hep hep horay. And I went Ahhhhhhhh. Today, my sister, Toni, explained it to me better.

Confused? Cannot relate? Click here for the Wikipedia definition of the game. Want a more visual definition, watch the video below.

Funny Conversations

With Ayex.

Our little girl is not so little anymore. She now has the ability to carry simple conversations apart from following instructions. She sings a lot and lately, we can already understand the lyrics of her song clearly. Every now and then, she would start a conversation, and every time that happens, she never fails to amaze me.

Sunday Night, we’re on our way to Quezon City from Las Pinas, where we had our weekend. At the age of 2.5 years old, Ayex now has the concept of what a toll gate is and what happens when we pass by one.

Ayex: Ayan na! Lapit na! Bayad na si Daddy! (She was so giddy as she says these.)
Mommy Nicquee: Ah, lapit na ang toll.
Ayex: Uhm-uhm. Lapit na. Bayad si Daddy, doon sa tao.

Before typing this entry, I called our home. I already said bye to our helper when she said Ayex wanted to talk to me.
Mommy Nicquee: Hello?
Ayex: Hello.
Mommy Nicquee: Nagmeryenda ka na?
Ayex: Uhm-uhm.
Mommy Nicquee: Anong meryenda mo?
Ayex: French fries.
Mommy Nicquee: Wow, talaga?! San galing?
Ayex: Doon, dala ni Mama.

I forgot how it all started but every time we go out on the the road and she sees Jollibee and McDonalds, she would always shout their name.

Mommy Nicquee: Sino ang magfriends?
Ayex: Si Macdo friends si Jabee.
Mommy Nicquee: Eh sinong bestfriend mo?
Ayex: Si Jabee.

Ayex the picky-eater…

… is rediscovering vegetables. winking smileys Hooooooray!!!!!!

It all started when I cooked Caldereta. I showed her the potatoes I was frying and told her that those were french fries. During the meal, she ate those and some green peas, which I introduced to her as bilog-bilog (circles). scuba diving in the UK

Last night, Mon and I were having dinner after we went to the hospital. She climbed to me. I thought she was going to ask for milk. When she saw the green peas in my plate, she asked for some. She asked me to put some more bilog-bilog on my plate for her. She did not hesitate to eat the diced carrot and potato that I put in the spoon along with the green peas.

It was definitely a happy scene after coming from a heart break seeing my lola in the hospital. sign smileys

Wish us luck that she continue to eat veggies and would expand to fruits also. free image hosting

Hi there! I'm Nicquee and this is my little space in this world wide web. I'm a mom of two and is happily married. I started this blog as literally my online journal where I dump my emotions. Over the years, I realized that there is more to write about. Feel free to browse through and I hope you find a thing or two that is relatable to you. If that happens, give me a shout-out!
