kiss away stress borne from 10 hours of work or more.
pluck smiles from your lips even if you feel tired.
ham it up for the cameras and click away moments that almost eat up the memory of your mobile phone.
how they do it? i don't know...reason escapes me and all the cares in the world just simply melts away when i'm with my best gal pal right over here...yep. my fave 'kikay' buddy is a three-year-old tyke who talks with a very strong Tagalog accent and has the energy of an Energizer bunny two-folds. 
Jaja is the first pamangkin in our brood. the first apo.
and so everybody's attention and affection is on hers and hers alone....missing the kid. badly. her infectious smiles and bubbly giggles are the most effective stress-busters i've ever had.
coming home from work, back aching with a grumbling tummy to boot, i'm most likely to hit the sack...but with her around - patiently waiting for all of her ninangs to come home and share a tickle or two while watching the teleseryes and asianovelas - three hours off the regular eight-hour sleep hardly matters.i feel like 'barbie' whenever she would play with my hair. tirelessly combing it. tying and untying it. though at times her seemingly harmless tugs become a little bit hurtful.
still, i miss the way her small, stubby hands and the way it smoothens my hair, caress my arms and poke my palms in an effort to massage my stress away.
kids. how do they do it?
create magic with their laugh. stir tenderness with their smile.
stoke comfort in their small, big hugs.
give unselfish love with their chubby open hands.
