Finally! After patiently waiting for him to go through his usual shenanigans, I managed to take a picture of Chimney as he was about to fall asleep.
He may seem like he’s dying in the photo. He’s not. This is the rare lull before the full-fledged hurricane that usually ensues after the Energizer batteries are recharged by a short nap.
Because of this, I am seriously rethinking ever having any kids of my own. I don’t think my nerves were built to withstand the ruckus.

Where can I send my copy of manila envelope? Think of it as a thank you.

Really?!! Wow! Congratulations! I’m really happy to hear it. I couldn’t possibly deprive you of your copy of Manila Envelope. Believe me, the fact that I played a small part in this makes up for all the essay writing contests I didn’t even come close to winning back in highschool (I have a gripe epic about that coming soon). Anyways, the best of luck in the regionals!

@Clare
I have no plans of getting anymore cats. The one I have is a handful as it is. It’s what I would imagine having a two-year-old would be like. Hahaha!

No, I insist, let me give you my copy. I sort of promised that to myself when i got the half-speech. It’s not a small part you played, coz your input helped me overcome my writer’s block. Email me your mailing address soon.

Janey, Chimney is a kitten so he’s still at that “makulit” stage. It’ll soon be over and he’ll be like the old Kyo, boring and unappreciative.

@Beached Bear: I’m buying some tranquilizer darts next weekend. Better sedate him before I lose it!
@Bhojoh: Sorry it’s taking me a while to respond. I’ll email you soon…but really, you don’t have to go through all that trouble. Nahiya naman ako bigla.
