What time is it?

What time is it? The low rumbling in my tummy is a bit distracting. Why do you have to be so noisy in digesting the food? I think it is still early. Keep it down, will you? You might wake the bear. What time is it? It's still puzzling why it has to be that high. A teacher went to my house and showed me a paper saying that I have lapses on the taxes. Eleven thousand a month. Are you kidding me? That's almost half a month's worth of necessities. She showed me a chart, all of the months were empty. I haven't paid a single month and we are already in the month of November. I can't bear to calculate the sum. For my sake, why? I still contemplate why it has to be that high. Good thing I woke up. I don't have to pay. What time is it? There's a buzzing in random places. It's still dark, I wonder what it is. It doesn't sound like a bee, it doesn't sound like a mosquito either. I know full well how a mosquito sounds, they annoy my ear. It might be the fly. It was trapped in the room since last night. The door was open the whole day yesterday. Why in the world did that fly used the opportunity to escape. Its sound worries me, it might wake the bear. What time is it? I think time just took a leap, I didn't notice. The light is already inside and it's really cold. The bear woke up and she started to wriggle. I prayed hard that she would go back to sleep, it's still too early. But she broke a cry. Her face all crumpled, funny. Oh well, time to feed her. Here's hoping that it would make her drowsy and fall back to sleep. What time is it? The birds are always early. Their chirping puts a smile on my lips. I think they're talking, maybe exchanging good mornings. Did they find their early worm yet? What time is it? The bear turns grumpy, she doesn't want milk anymore. She's saying *nyee nyee* and throws a hissy fit. Well, this is going to be a long fight. What time is it? The bear suddenly stopped her tantrum. That's unexpected. She now looked at me in the eye, saying *akoo akoo.* Yes you, and that's how she starts a conversation. I said *akoo* too and she answered me with *agee*. She also displayed that one big toothless smile. Now she's saying a lot of words. It does have patterns but not one makes sense. It is even paired with kicking of legs. It must be a secret language. This little bear must be telling me something. What time is it? I smell something, very bad. Oh, I get it. That explains why the bear was so grumpy earlier. Now that she has relieved herself, she's in a very good mood. Alright then, time to start the day.

I made a separator for my articles here. I find it cute and I'm proud of it. A little note: the script I used is Baybayin. That's an ancient writing script in the Philippines before the English alphabets were introduced. The word I wrote in the separator is *pagong* which means turtle in English. I wrote it in Photoshop and using a mouse again. Because my poor self can't afford a pen. So there... Thank you again, smile, and have a nice day!
