Here's another one of my quest to repost some of those I've posted in SneezeNiz.

TAGAYTAY -- Like I've said before, Tagaytay's one of my favorite weekend escape. I could only tell you so much about the place through stories about where I've been. And one of the spot we'd usually visit is Sonya's Garden. As the name suggest, the garden feel brings me closer to home. I love the smell of flowers and fresh air. It makes me miss our "humble" garden back home. I wish I could bring the Tagaytay weather home too. It'll be perfect for our little place. But besides the ambiance, Sonya's Garden also means a detox lunch.

I have countless stories about drowning in my daughter's wit. A few days ago, she was doing her after school ritual, which was telling me the blow by blow account on what happened on her day. I knew for a fact that she's enjoying her days in school, that was clear to me. But in the middle of her breathless stories she said,

Kiara: She's devious mom, devious!

Me: say what?

Kiara: The girl in school, the one I was talking about. Were you even listening?

Me: I was. (Turning on the television and quickly run through the channels until I reach Disney Channel.)

Kiara: Mom? What are you doing?

Me: Waiting for the show in Disney where they get to say "devious"

Kiara: (laughed) Mom, i didn't take it out of a Disney show.

Me: So is it the books? Do I need to search through your collection of books?

Kiara: No mom, it's not even in one of those books. I just know the meaning of devious ok? Duh. Big deal.

Me: Oooohkay.

So how the hell would a 9 year old come across that word? She's WAY beyond her years. She doesn't sound like a 9 year old to me, more like 30 actually. You know when they say, children are a parent's reflection of themselves. I would strongly disagree, they're better.
