what a character!

my own mother just called me a lizard. okay, okay, so i stretched it a little bit. she likened me to a lizard. ha!

our conversation went on like this:

me: Ma, sa tingin mo nagshrink yung top ko o tumaba ako bigla (which was unlikely because i just got sick)?
mother dear: ang payat mo na nga e. tinignan kita kahapon mukha ka nang butiki.
me: Nagshrink nga lang siguro yung top ko.

oh well. people who know her also know very well she's said more cruel things to other people than calling her own daughter (her only child, may i add) "like a lizard."

hmm...i just remembered. when we saw paolo santos in powerplant, her exact words were: ano ba yan. mukhang butiki!

uh-oh.
