Man. Woman. Child

She was born and everybody was happy. She had her moma's eyes and her papa's lips. She was their princess. The most precious one. She was the joy of her papa. The touch of her momma was the only comfort she knew. They were so happy and contented that time.

Few years passed, she learned how to walk, to talk, to ride a bicycle, to pose in front of the camera. She had grown a lot but still their baby. The only man she loved was the man who used to hold her the first time she came out and her best friend was the woman who was responsible of bringing her into this complicated world. Still, they were so happy and contended.

Another 4 years passed, she had to go now on school everyday. She met other children who she became acquainted with and who she called friends later. This time, she understood little that life was not that easy. She knew how painful bruises were, that you can not get all the things you wanted in a blink of an eye. She also learned that aside from her momma and papa, there were other things that also matters. She learned another word 'DISCIPLINE'. They're still happy.

She finished her Primary School and went on Secondary. She has now grown into a young lady. So beautiful yet so young. Innocence still didn't left her face but she's now aware of what the world might offered her. Friends entered into her life. Few arguments arose between her and her momma and papa but she knew she loved them. She just felt that they can not understand her anymore....her toughts, her wants, her opinions. They're happy. Her happiness didn't only depends on her parents....she had FRIENDS.

College days came. She needed to leave her parents for school. She lived in a dormitory near the University. She gained more friends. She was happy. For once, she was free. 'Why didn't I realized earlier that freedom was this fun?'. Her momma was worried, she's now learning to keep secrets from her. Her papa was confused on how to get her little girl back to his lap. They were so worried, thinking if they had made the right decision to let their princess lived on her own. They loved her so much, they only wanted the best for her.

Her papa was not only the man in her life now. She had Dan, her boyfriend. Young love, as what her parents described their feelings. They wanted them to concentrate first on their studies. But the two can't fight their feelings, so they promised that studies will be their priority but please let them kept their relationship. Parents can not do anything about this so they agreed.

Years passed, she understood what Young Love means. She started dating other men. More handsome, more athletic than Dan. She spent sleepless nights partying with friends. Dan on the other hand spent more time with his friends scouting for fresh faces that entered the Universities. They spent less time together. Worst, was they were arguing, shouting at each other over small matters even when they were just 30 minutes together. They can lived without talking and seeing each other for weeks.

They woke up every other morning on bed of other people they hardly knew. Until one morning, she felt sick. She thought its just a hang over from last night. Three....four.....five......six consecutive days she had this morning sickness. Reality slapped her face. 'No way, this isn't happening'. She called Dan immediately and told him her problem. Dan, just woke up, was shocked with the news. He told her to went to his apartment to talked about this matter face to face. When she arrived, he was sitting on his bed holding a cup of coffee while holding his head on his other hand. 'Dan? are you ok? We have a problem. I think I'm.......'. The guy didn't respond for few minutes. 'Are you sure of that? Have you undergo on a test?'. 'Yes'. She burst in tears. 'So who's baby are you carrying. She suddenly looked into his eyes. 'Yours. Ours. Our baby.'. Dan didn't believe her and kept denying that the baby was not his. This broke her heart into pieces. Then the thought of her parents crossed her mind. She can't feel her weight anymore. She wished that somebody would slap her face so that she can woke up from this bad dream. But she knew this is reality. This wasn't a dream. The thought of her childhood flashed back in her mind. She wanted to go back to this time where all her problems were just one kissed away of her mom and her sadness will be gone when her papa hugged her and pulled her into his lap.

Is Ernie and Bert, Sweethearts?

Just few days ago nashock ako sa narinig ko. Ernie and Bert of Sesame Street (children's TV show) are gays daw and actually they are not best of friends but lovers! How trulily is this rumor? Matagal na daw itong chismis na to. Eh bakit ngayon ko lang narinig?! Hindi ako papayag na hindi ko malaman ang story behind this issue! So here it is.

Let me start on simple background facts about them. Ernie and Bert were designed by Don Sahlin based on two fruits. Ernie was based on orange and Bert was on banana. The two were originally intended to portrait equality. That people can be friends despite of their differences.

Orange and Banana, fruits where their appearances from
They are friends! Best of Friends! Yes, that's what I knew all along. Until the rumor hit my ears. They're gays? How can they be gays?


They live in one house, share one bedroom but sleeps in different bed, I know! But hey! can't friends do these things? Then I saw the portrait. Portrait of the two! HAHAH Now, no male FRIENDS will post such thing in their room for heaven sake!




For Christmas episode, Bert and Ernie each find a gift to get. Bert gets a soap dish to put Ernie's rubber ducky in and Ernie gets a cigar box to put Bert's paper clip collection in, thanks to Mr. Hooper's idea.

Some photos of the rumor



Are Ernie and Bert gay? Good argument for the one who says they are and they are not.


Part 1: Ernie calls his bathtub "Rosie" because whenever he takes a bath, he leaves a "ring around Rosie". Bert waits for his bath.

Ernie and Bert Sketches : Apartment



Though many episodes showed that they were more than friends, still the final decision will be on the bosses of Sesame Street. So speculators please let Ernie and Bert stay as friends for now until further notice! LOL Ernie and Bert, not gays and not getting married!
