Money Conversations with Lil Girl

10.14.2013 8:15 am
Conversation with my youngest daughter during breakfast...
Youngest: Ma, pila na ang $10? (How much is $10?)
Me: 400 pesos langga. (400 pesos, honey.)
Youngest: four-zero-zero?
Me: Yes.
Youngest: Ngee, kamahal. (Nyay, so pricey.)
After a few seconds...
Youngest: Ma, may pa ang snow sa America kay kwarta. (Mom, it's a good thing if the snow in America is money.)
Me: Ha? Ngano man? (Huh? Why is that?)
Youngest: Basta. (Nothing.)
Me: (Hilig jud ni cyag kwarta oi. Hahaha!)
After a few minutes of silence, I asked her...
Me: Nicky, unsa imong gusto pagdako nimo? (Nicky, what do you want in the future?)
Youngest: Moadto ug America. (To go to America.)
By the way, my youngest is still 5 years old but then I reckon she have a like for money as she can buy food that she wants to eat and things that she want to wear.

I also buy food for dinner because we live quite a distance from the city so I end up going home late.  It’s convenient to buy cooked meals.  But when I order, I always choose food that is within my budget. Here are some of my favorite affordable food choices in the GrabFood app: 1. Pork Tocino Rice Toppings and Fried Chicken Dumplings – Siomai sa Tisa, P168.50           This is my first time to order with them and I’m glad I did! I love the soft, juicy, and yumminess of the Pork Tocino. Another thing I love about it is that the meat is lean and not made of fats. You have to try it, guys! 2. Regular Shawarma, Cheesy Chips, and Coke Mismo – JM Shawarma, P157.      Since I craved for shawarma for a while now, I ordered this promo deal from them. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the Coke Mismo because of the shortage these days. I shared the cheesy chips with my colleagues and they liked it! 3. Or iginal Sisig – Butcher’s Best
