If he wanted to, Jake Ejercito could probably release a book on parenting filled with just exchanges he's had with Ellie, his pre-teen daughter with Andie Eigenmann.  Her often deadpan one-liners to dad Jake's queries and all sorts things he tells her are a hilarious glimpse into their easygoing relationship. I guess you could call them (ahem) Ellie-raptions.

(Apocryphal stories about Erap's supposedly less-than-smart reputation fueled the joke book, "Eraptions: How To Speak English Without Really Trial" by Reli German and Emil Jurado was a bestseller.)

This week is no different, with Jake and Ellie attending the final Gilas game against China, and with Gilas winning Jake shares that he told Ellie, "We're lucky charms." To which Ellie answers, "Me lang."
