Happy Birthday Mama!

As a birthday present to my Mother this year I was supposed to take her to Hong Kong. Certain circumstances have changed those plans, so we are spending her birthday on opposite ends of the world. Lame.

As compensation, I will share a little limerick she's passed down to me from my grandfather. It's pretty awesome.

Bakit malaki ang galit ni Bayag kay Uten?

Araw gabi'y magkasama, ayaw papasukin.

Sumagot si malditang Tilin,

Diyan ka na Bayag, magpa-bitin-bitin.
