JS: Wow that was very good! Isa pa pwede?
R: Play one of Mommy's favorites anak.. *nods at Thirdy, who signals to the rest and the opening strains of Coldplay's "Yellow" started to play*
M: *getting teary-eyed* No matter how many times I've heard them play this it always gets to me. Mas magaling pa sila sa Coldplay!
R: *chuckles* Bias ka Ma..
JS: Pwede na kayong magtayo ng Faulkerson band. Pagawan ko kayo ng banner at T-shirts. Ako na manager. *laughs*
R: Meron kaming T-shirts! *laughs* We used it once sa EB for Maine's birthday, nakalagay "Banda Mendoza-Faulkerson" nakatuwaan namin.
M: Oh that was when they surprised me sa show for my birthday early this year. I love watching that, ilang beses ko na kaya pinanood sa youtube yun. Nag request pa ko ng copy. *chuckles*
JS: Thank you Faulkerson children, that was really good! *claps* Now, kids what are your messages for Mom and Dad? Who wants to go first?
Theo: Kuya *chuckles*
Thirdy: Ba't ako? You first.
Theo: O ba't ako? Aycee?
Aycee: Eh ba't ako? Kuya Thirdy first, he's the panganay.
R: *interrupts* Ma, may lahi ba tayong paniki?
M: Huh? Paniki??
R: Kasi yung mga anak natin pag inuutusan nagiging paniki. "Ba't ako? ba't ako?" Di kaya kamag anak natin si Batman? "he deadpans looking at his kids*
M: *laughs* Galing mo dyan Daddy *laughs again* Benta sakin promise *chuckles*
Thirdy: *laughs* Good one Dad.. sorry. Okay I'll go first. I just want to thank my Mom and Dad for everything. I know it's not easy, ang kulit namin minsan..
M: Minsan? Try often *laughs*
Thirdy: *laughs* But know that we appreciate everything that you do. We never felt na may kulang or yung concept na wala sila kasi they're always there. Mom and Dad has never failed to attend school activities or meetings. Even yung pag kuha lang ng school cards, they will be there. Kaya ayun, thank you, I love you both. *hugs R&M*
M: *cups Thirdy's cheeks* When did you grow up to be a sensible young man? *chuckles* I love you too my baby.. *hugs Thirdy* Thirdy and Theo are my practice babies eh. Yung mga experiments and fears being first time parents, pagdating kay Aycee ah okay medyo expert na kami dyan *chuckles*
R: Binata na talaga. Love you son.. *hugs Thirdy and they do their special handshake*
Thirdy: Theo, you next.
Theo: You already said what we all wanted eh. *turns to R&M* Thank you for always being there. For the support. Yung pag juggle ng time, I can see them sometimes, nahihirapan sila sa schedules nila. Mom and Dad would face our boards wall near the kitchen then they will check their calendars, make calls, argue with whoever's on the other line that they have to cancel this and that kasi may ballet recital si Aycee or si Chuchay, or the twins have competitions or may games kami ni kuya and they need to be there. Yet sundays are still kept sacred for family as much as possible. We really appreciate those. Love you Mom and Dad, thank you.
M: Bakit ako pinapaiyak ng mga anak ko? *wipes her cheeks and hugs Theo* I love you Theo thumper. *kisses Theo* Clingy si Theo as a baby, wag lang ako mawala sa paningin nyan naku mag iiyak na yan. Extended play pa naman to pag umiyak, and I use to call him thumper nung nasa tiyan ko palang sya kasi ang likot, sipa ng sipa. chuckles*
