A funeral and sore throat

Thursday, January 22, 2009

Okay. So my dad came home from China now. And the first thing that my mom told us was that we’re now grandparents — our cousin’s kids have kids now. To which my sister asked her, “Why are you so happy? That means you’re great grandparents now (referring to her and my dad)!” 

So then we went to the room to view the pictures from the wake and funeral. And we noticed one thing:

The guys are BALDING.

Oh man. I’m so glad I’m not a guy! Add to that the fact that my dad’s hairs fast becoming white–it’s a disaster (old age)!

Oh. Interesting fact. We have an uncle who’s a science teacher, and one who used to be an Olympic swimmer. Yay.

Oh. And dad had this weird black thing on his eyebrows earlier this evening.

My sister asked, “What happened to your eyebrows?”

My dad went, “I’m dyeing it black. White eyebrows are scary.”

This comes from the same guy who gave our dog a Strepsil because, according to him, doggie had a sore throat.

HAHAHA.

I LOVE MY DAD.

Hahaha, my dad swears by Strepsils! Whenever someone he goes to the Phils., he manages to bring a whole bunch… Not sure how customs missed that. LOL.

Olympic swimmer, eh? Get this: my coworker lives down the street from Michael Phelps! She’s seen him a lot of times, but never noticed it was him!

Because he’s not walking around half naked in the streets. LOL. It’s winter so he’s probably walking around all bundled up :P

Umm, excuse me. Women can go bald, too. :D :D :D

Strepsils is yummeh. Kinda addictive. Even if I don’t have sore throat, wala lang. I buy some and consume it like ordinary sweets.

Your dad sure is funny. :)

KM! Nice seeing you last night too! :D My dad’s actually sweeter to the dog than to us! :|

Neil! I have a friend who ate too much Strepsils and sort of hurt her throat! :c He’s our resident Jackie Chan, yes ;)
