Martin.
Meet Martin, my super lovable tutee. A 7-year old boy filled with wit. His favorite subject is Christian Living (CL) just because he finds it easy. He dislikes Math and doesn't get the purpose of studying numbers. He hates his Science teacher for not helping him clarify certain things. He enjoys drawing anything. He loves eating while studying and is generous. He is happy when he gets to play or gets a new toy. He is happier when classes are being suspended. He is updated with movies. He owns a skateboard. He will break hearts one day.
This kid increased my savings for the past 3 months. But more than that, he was my source of stability, new knowledge and of course happiness. He saved me from all that idleness, which almost made me a crazy woman. He constantly allowed me to gain helpful ideas, which would benefit in a preschool set up. And instead of literally watching each day pass, I looked forward to hearing all his cute and silly quotations.
Last Thursday was our last day of tutor because there comes a time when you need to welcome other opportunities in life.
Here are some quotations that Martin left with me and I'd like to share them with all of you. Enjoy!!
Me: Ang mga Pilipino ay pwedeng may matangos na ilong, katamtaman na ilong o kaya pango at sarat na ilong.
Martin: Pag matangos parang kay Pinocchio? Yung matangos is for the ones na nagla-lie. Yung pango hindi nagla-lie.
Martin: Who do you love more, God or your mom?
Me: You, who do you love more?
Martin: My mom.
Martin: Some dogs die because they're old. They're just like us.
Me: Ano ang pambansang laro ng mga Pilipino? Basketball o Sipa?
Martin: Sipa! Basketball is for the States!
Me: Ano ang sinisimbolo ng pula sa watawat ng Pilipinas? Kalinisan, kapayapaan o katapangan?
Martin: Kaputangan!
Martin: Why is it called the belly button, but it doesn't look like a button?
Me: Do you know Rockband?
Martin: No. What the heck is that? I only know rockstars because it's my dream to be one. It's kinda cool. I want to be the drummer. The singer is boring.
Martin: Do you know what's the most dangerous place in the universe?
Cheska: Where?
Martin: The gym because there's lots of heavy things and you can get ipit from the machines. Your fingers can be caught. And somebody might punch you on the face cause of boxing.
Me: Where did Jesus grow up?
Martin: Church.
Martin: I have an angel. Do bad guys have angels?
Cheska: Most insects have antennae to feel, hear and smell. It's to detect.
Martin: It's like GPS?
Me: Where do earthworms stay?
Martin: Earth!
He visited me today and gave me his animal drawings, which we reviewed for his Science test.
