Realization because of Cello's Donuts (something to do about relationships)

 As I mentioned in my previous post, my sister and I had a realization while we were eating Cello's donuts yesterday.

Cello's Donuts is along Katipunan Ave, Quezon City, and it is a stone-throw away from my school and Rei's school. We had our individual stories regarding that place, both about a relationship. As we shared each other's stories yesterday, we realized that Rei was a side character of a shoujo manga.

Rei had a crush on Prince*, the best friend of the protagonist. And if I were to describe him in my own words from yesterday:

"So, he is that best friend. The quiet, mysterious, upper-class, pampered, good-looking, intelligent best friend." Practically the best friend of the protagonist in every shoujo manga. The protagonist, King*, is athletic, outgoing, friendly, independent,  middle-class, and does well in academics.

For some reason, Rei invited Prince to go to a hobby shop, which is the same place and is the same owner of Cello's Donuts. On the way there, they met King. He was surprised that Rei and his best friend were together. He then started to tease my sister and Prince. When he left, Rei apologized to Prince because of the teasing. Prince smiled and shrugged it off. They then continued to their destination.

Upon realizing the "characters" in her story, she said:

"No wonder I was not getting anywhere! I was a side-character in a shoujo manga!"

These brought us both to tears laughing.

As for me, I told Rei that mine was not as compelling as hers.

Cello's Donuts brings me bitter and sweet memories. A confrontation happened with the person I had a relationship with, and the said person walked out. Though, it was also the same place where I met a close friend of mine. I told her that the relationship between the person I was involved with and me was over. We had an engaging chat while eating after that.

At first, we just accepted my memory as a simple story. I then jokingly said that if I changed the gender of the people in my narrative, maybe it might become a BL manga. We laughed aloud again, but then I realized that was possible. And from then onwards, I continued to fall into a dark rabbit hole. Update on a story based on my college relationship maybe in a few weeks? or months? We'll see.

The most ironic about all this is that my sister is known for being a fujoshi queen. In the end, she was part of a shoujo manga. For me, I admit that I tend to like shoujo mangas. In the end, it was me who is part of a BL manga.

The irony of it all.

Mom stories

Short stories about me and my daughter (also my nieces, cause I am sort of their mom too). I'll try to do this every month just for the lols. 😉😉😉

•  Most if not all Filipino kids grew up being forced to eat their food. My daughter is a little different. She is not that picky with her food, but when she doesn't like the food she tells me. On the other hand, when she likes the food, she forces herself to finish it... even when she is already full (sigh) There was this one time her food fell on the floor. I told her she can not eat it anymore as it's soiled. She cried because she said she wanted to finish her food. I had to pretend to scoop the "food on the floor" so she can finish it. (sigh)

• Tune of "Do You Like Ice Cream?"
• Me: Do you love mommy?
• Bergette: Yes, I do. (2x)
• M: Do you love papa?
• B: Yes, I do. (2x)
• M: Do you love Yui (her cousin)?
• B: (pause) No I don't. (2x) 😂😂😂
• M: Do you love Miyuki (cousin)?
• B: Yes, I do. (2x)
• M: Do you love lola (grandma)?
• B: Yes, I do. (2x) Lola not here.
• M: Do you love lolo (grandpa)?
• B: Yes, I do. (2x) Lolo not here.

• When the clock strikes 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we try our best to not let the kids have a nap anymore. Because if they do, they will wake up late at night and will finally fall asleep past midnight. We try to make the kids sleep before 10pm, TRY is the keyword here. There was this one time when my sister told her husband NOT to let my niece take a nap because it was already 5pm. Unfortunately, the kid fell asleep in his arms while he was playing video games. When he realized this, he panicked, ran to my sister with the kid in his arms, and with a worried voice said, "What do I do?" My other niece, Yui, heard this, ran towards her father, and saw her sleeping sister in her father's arms. Then Yui looked at her mom, my sister, and said "Is Miyuki dead?" My sister wasn't sure if she should worry or she would laugh at her daughter.

• The light bulb in my sister's room got busted so I got her another bulb. She told her husband, Don, to place the light bulb in the light socket. My sister, my daughter, and I were watching as Don climbed the cabinet. As he was inches away from the light socket, my daughter suddenly sang, "Oh no! Oh no! Oh no no no no no." from Tiktok. My sister and I were laughing so much. 😂😂😂
