Mama Bear’s Adventures

I really don’t know what is it in this show that got me glued to the TV when it is showing.

My first reaction when I saw the teasers was, "ayy… parang alam ko na kung saan kinuha ang concept." The setting was very much like LOTR with matching meron din silang sariling language. And I’m not a fan of the leading actors and actresses too. Lalo na si Diana Zubiri, nakikita ko lang siya dati sa Eat Bulaga, sumasayaw ng wala sa tyempo at kumakanta ng wala sa tono. Pero ngayon parang nagiging fan pa ata niya ako.

Siguro kaya ko ito gusto ay dahil mahilig ako sa mga fast paced na palabas, yung tipong every episode e merong highlights pero bawat episode e bibitinin ka din. Saka sawa na rin ako sa mga heavy drama actually, hindi ko talaga carry ang heavy drama kaya nga hindi ako nanood ng Stairway to Heaven, hindi kaya ng puso ko, so ok din ito, parang fairy tale talaga, may mga dragon dragon pa.

Sa totoo lang, hindi ko pa rin talaga alam kung ano talaga ang reason kung bakit gusto ko ang Encantadia. Basta isa lang ang sure ako. Nag e-enjoy ako kapag nanonood ako ng Encantadia.

Tagalog naman. Naikwento ko sa inyo yung pagpunta namin sa Baguio. Pero hindi ko naikwento ang pag balik namin. Medyo mas madali na ang pag balik namin para sa akin, pero hindi para kay Glenn. Kasi nag bonding na sila ni Ami. Kaya naman maya’t maya ay nakikipag appear(high-5) ang bata sa kanyang ama, kahit na nagmamaneho. Para tuloy siyang tsuper ng dyip na kumukuha ng bayad at nagsusukli. Pero masaya naman sa biyahe ang aming bunso kaya hindi ako nahirapan hehe.

Sobrang nag bonding ang mag ama, dati kapag pumapasok sa opisina si Glenn, kaway ng kaway, babay ng babay si Ami sa kanya habang umaalis ang sasakyan. Ngayon e malungkot na lang siyang pinagmamasdan ng bata habang umaalis. Hindi magtatagal, parang nakikini-kinita ko na na maghahabol na sa kanyang ama itong aming munting prinsesa.

Ito na muna at mag ko-kompyuter daw ang aking prinsipe.

Last Wednesday, we took the kids to Baguio, a much needed and deserved family vacation. Specially for Glenn and Ami, Glenn for being the hardworking provider that he is, and Ami because she really needs relief from her itchy rashes(breaks out when she sweats).

The trip going there was a bit hard, since it is the first time that we took Ami on a long trip. She wanted to sleep but she can’t find the right position. Stop overs didn’t help much.

We decided to take Marcos Highway instead of our usual Naguillan route, to make the trip a little shorter. We were shocked by what we saw. I don’t know if we just were not paying attention ast time we went there or it cannot be seen from Naguillian. We saw what used to be mountain peaks is now covered with lots of houses. From afar it looks like a dump site, when you cannot really see that those are houses, all you can see are different colors of different sizes. I hope it’s not a landslide waiting to happen.

Anyway, we, specially Karl, enjoyed our stay. Karl enjoyed every minute of our stay, he didn’t want to go back home. From day one he has requests of where we should go. From the time we left home he was asking if we could see the horses already, seems like every hour, like an alarm clock, he would ask "mama punta n tayo sa horse?" We arrived late afternoon so we decided to have an early dinner and then sleep, the kid will have to wait. We took them first to Burnham, so he saw the boats, so there’s another wish list item.

The next day we took them to Mines View, I decided to have their pictures taken with the horse first since we don’t really know how Karl would react when he is actually on the horse. And indeed, he really wanted to just see the horse and not ride it. He got scared when it moved. So we left. We went to Mile High whatchamacallit hehe. Then back to Vistro Pension House where he watched Nickelodeon and every commercial break he would ask if we can go boating already hehe.

<change topic>  I got paranoid when we were up there. Before going up, the kids and I already have coughs and colds. But on our second day there, I had fever, 38.9. I’m used to having coughs and colds but not fever, and definitely not that high. I kept watching if I will develop rashes since I already have 2 symptoms of meningo coccemia. For those of you who don’t know, there was an outbreak of meningo January 2005. But DOH declared it under control by February. It was still scary though.

Ok. I think this is my longest post so far. Check out my album for pictures of our Bguio trip.

As usual, this is a late post. Natalie Portman’s and our dear Natalie’s birthday is on the 9th of June. You may be wondering if we named her Natalie because of her birthday, but it’s the otherway around. We picked June 9 to be her birthday (CS delivery of course, just like kuya) because we like the name Natalie and we thought it’s cool if they would have the same birthday, since she was due June.

Anyway, we celebrated her 1st birthday last Saturday, June 11. To be fair, it was also held at Shakey’s just like kuya’s party. We decided to keep the celebration simple. We just invited our closest relatives and friends. We had more fun though, because there are more children than there was on kuya’s birthday. And the kids are about the same age (2.5-4 yrs old), so it  was really fun to watch them play games, with the help of the parents of course.

The cake was a little disappointing though. We had one of those picture cakes, again, just like kuya’s, of course with Ami’s (short for Amidala) picture in it. Kuya’s was from Goldilocks, they have more designs to choose from, and theirs was cheaper too. But this time, their "printer" was not available, so we ordered our cake at Red Ribbon, the picture icing was better than Goldilocks but the cake itself was not. It was not moist. And the cake/icing ratio was not good. The cake was 9" in diameter and 5" tall, it was a double layered cake so you would think that there’s some sort of icing or filling in between, but there’s just plain cake, plain and dry cake.

Oops, my princess is awake, so I have to cut this story short.

P.S.

Pardon my english, I really need practice. (Wait till you hear me talk, I think I sound funny, but then again… I need to practice)
