spongebob squarepants

last night, my kids were all in the living room and each of them were drawing with their crayons. i saw gabie drawing this ...



being the supportive mom, i exclaimed, "wow, gabie! that's a really good drawing of spongebob and ultraman!"

now the moment i blurted this out, i knew right away that i said something wrong because everyone just stared at me, open-mouthed. and i can hear my hubby stiffling his laughter. but i had no idea what was wrong.

then, gabie said, "mama, that's not ultraman! that's patrick!"

oh, yeah, right! patrick. spongebob's best friend. patrick. what in the world was i thinking anyway? why would spongebob be with ultraman in the first place?

LITRATONG PINOY: asul (blue)

it was miggy's birthday last monday. he requested for a super mario cake and here's the one that i made for him :)

so, why blue?

notice anything about mario?

if you're a mario fan, you would have noticed it by now.

see mario's jumper? i made a mistake with this one! the jumper's color is wrong hahaha instead of red, it was supposed to be blue. and his shirt should have been the red one.

*****

birthday ni miggy nung lunes. at humiling sya ng super mario na cake kaya eto ang ginawa ko para sa kanya ...

bakit kamo asul?

wala ka bang napapansin kay mario?

kung fan ka talaga ni mario, malamang napansin mo na agad.

kita mo yung jumper ni mario? nagkamali ako dito. mali ang kulay ng jumper nya hahaha dapat, asul ang kulay ng jumper ni mario. ang shirt nya dapat ang pula.

twilight

my kind of twilight ...


miggy's kind of twilight ...


hahaha and for a minute there i thought we were on the same page (no pun intended)

when miggy first saw my twilight book, he was very interested. of course, i was a bit surprised. i didn't think the twilight mania would have already reached kids his age, aside from the fact that he's a boy. i wouldn't be too surprised if he's a girl. you know, i do understand edward cullen's magnet to girls (yeah, yeah, i admit, i'm an edward fan teehee). but, boys?

miggy even asked me if he can read my book once i'm done with it ... hmmm interesting, right? i was like, "are you sure???"

but when he saw me watching the twilight movie, then it dawned on him hahaha not only did he lose interest in the book, by the time he saw me watching the movie for the third time, here's what he has to say ...

i can't believe you like "that" twilight ...

what's so good about it?

i don't get it. it's too boring.

and can you believe, he's even urging me to switch to his twilight? hahaha fat chance!

iCarly

this is my desktop wallpaper at the moment ... wonder why?

let's just say that my dear miggy has finally began noticing girls hahaha and, oh boy, does he have good taste?

my hubby is the one who first noticed it during his (long) vacation last month while the kids where also having their summer vacation. after staying at home for about a week, i noticed that my hubby kept singing a song that i thought i've heard either from nickelodeon or disney channel. when i asked him about it, he told me that he just can't help it if he keeps hearing that song for more than 5 times a day. and he also complained that he's already getting too much of iCarly because miggy was always watching the show.

and that's when the teasing began hahaha

once i asked miggy if he thinks iCarly (that's what we call her, anyway) is pretty. his answer? of course it's a yes!

and to test how pretty he thinks she is, i once asked him who is prettier, mikee or iCarly. well, he can't answer me at all hahaha in the past, at least before iCarly, he'd quickly say that mikee is the prettiest girl in the world :) sweet, eh?

SILLY MONKEY STORY: first day of school 2009

the new school year officially began last friday here in singapore. so, miggy went back to school and as always, didn't have any issues with his first day in school. if he did, maybe it lasted only 5 minutes. that's how comfy he is about going to school. even way back in nursery when he first started schooling. he needed only one day to adjust then. the following days, he was on his own.

and that was the complete opposite of gabie and mikee's first day in school.

last year, when gabie started in nursery, he cried as expected. no. he didn't simply cry. no. actually, he made a scene. a very big scene. it took him about 4 days to adjust to school. but at least on the 4th day, he rode the school bus and went to school by himself.

this year, it was mikee's turn. and oh, am i glad this is the last hahaha

gabie and mikee's kindergarten began only yesterday. if gabie made a scene last year, mikee has her own drama this year. she wouldn't let me leave her in school. but the teachers requested all of us parents to leave the kids to them and they'll handle them. all 15 of them. crying. kids. all at the same time.

if you ask me, i don't think that is the most effective way to help the kids adjust to kindergarten. i mean, they weren't really given the time to adjust. i think it would have been better if the parents were allowed to stay with the kids for at least one day. at least for one day, the kids wouldn't have to worry about their mommies or daddies leaving them in school. instead, they can focus on their new surrounding and get used to their teachers and new friends. oh well, that's the school policy. not mine.

(see that worried look on her face?)

before i left mikee yesterday, i told her that if she is feeling sad, just sing to herself. sing her favorite song, tomorrow. so, from outside the school, i heard her lamenting to her teacher ...

where's my mama?

but ... but ... i miss my mama ...

the sun will come out, tomorrow! (this she sings while crying!)

i want to go home ...

i miss my boys ... (i really find this sweet!)

and of course, it was the same today ... and tomorrow. will. be. another. day.

so, how was your kids' first day in school?
