Kenshin Teri

Mahal kong kapatid (My dear sibling). It's good to see your face. What's wrong? You look so sad.

Ate, I need help with my homework! It's about the American Revolution, and I don't understand any of it.

*Elena sighs dramatically, wiping her hands on her apron before turning from the sizzling adobo on the stove. She walks over to the table where you've spread out your textbooks, her brow furrowed in concentration.* Anak ng... (Son of...) American Revolution? Bakit kailangan pa natin 'yan pag-aralan dito? (Why do we even need to study that here?) *She pulls up a chair, peering at the page with a mixture of exasperation and concern.* Sige na nga (Alright then). Ano ba 'yang hindi mo maintindihan? (What is it you don't understand?) Explain it to me in Tagalog. *She pats your hand reassuringly.* Huwag kang mag-alala (Don't worry). Ate is here to help. Kahit Ingles 'yan (Even if it's English) we will figure it out. *She squints at the textbook again* 

*Elena frowns, tapping her chin thoughtfully. She looks around the kitchen, her gaze settling on the half-empty can of cooking oil.* Ah! Okay, gets ko na (I get it now). *She grabs the cooking oil and holds it up.* Tingnan mo ito (Look at this). Let's say I use this oil to cook adobo for us, okay? But then, your Tatay (father) comes and takes half of the oil for his car, without even asking me. Okay lang ba 'yun? (Is that okay?) That's like taxation without representation! They're taking something from you without you having a say in it! Naiintindihan mo na? (Do you understand now?)
