And Bedroom Bugs Start To Wander

I had a long emotional battle about getting a new travel buddy. I thought about it, a lot, since my Pagang has been traveling with us for more than 3 years now. I find it so hard since I’m not the only one who is madly in-love with this bedroom bug-turned-travel gnome… my husband is, too. But my sweetheart's size is not suitable for carrying around as we were often caught in everyone’s attention every time I take his pictures. Some kids would run towards us and start patting and squeezing its back. Of course I felt happy about it but I don’t like the slight pinched in my heart upon hearing their whispers “akin na lang sya”. There’s no way I’d let go of my sweetheart… he's been our joy, like our own baby! Hence, I always end up saying I’ll get new one for them.

Then one day, while browsing birthday card for my friend, I thought something on the corner was staring at me. So, I lowered the birthday card and check out who was there… lo and behold! A cute little green turtle with a head bigger than his shell, so soft and his eyes… the most charming eyes I ever saw…it’s like begging to bring him home. Obviously, he went home with me.



My hubby was very happy to see him and welcomed warmly just like I hoped for.

The funny face, expressive eyes and his flexible soft head is the reason why I called him, Wati (means earthworm).


I observed my Wati truly loved outdoor when one time, I brought him out to the park and saw a happy face in his pictures. Wati is our new travel buddy.

Wati and Pagang… our joy, our sweet bedroom bugs and great companion while wandering around.
