    only one phrase, "It's only money" , everytime she wanted to buy something which i thought we didn't need or was a waste of money, and i would moan about it..

    but now shes working, and when i ask her for money, shes says she got none

    Thanks Sis
    My kukupops had learned how to used the tabo (dipper) and batya (laundry tub), at first I was surprised when he stepped the plastic batya while doing the shower
    but he taught now its pair with tabo so he had a nice bath then

    the only thing ube is good for is ice-cream, yummy, it always make me smile when we return to HK and are waiting for our bags at the carousel watching several cool boxes going round with three flavour ice cream being brought back from the Phils
