Makulay ang Buhay!

Remember when you were a kid and your Mom and Dad or your teachers used to tell you that eating vegetables will make you grow taller or bigger and stronger? I tell my kids the same thing and I must say it's effective because my daughters eat almost every vegetables I serve them, even ampalaya, believe it or not!

This afternoon, while I was reading a book, my almost four-year old daughter came rushing into our room and said, “Mommy, I’m not getting faster! Ate Sabel always wins the race!” She was talking about their twist car race, and Sabel, her seven-year old cousin.

I said, “That’s okay baby, soon you'll grow taller and bigger and you'll be fast enough to beat Ate Sabel in the race!”

She screamed, “No! The vegetables are not working!”

Yeah, kids say the darndest things! :P

One Afternoon at Enchanted Kingdom

So after having lunch at my brother's place, we decided to bring the kids to Enchanted Kingdom. Eat and run, haha!

The entrance fee for adult is PhP500, ride-all-you-can. If you’re a government employee, you get 20% discount, so you’d only pay PhP400. They have this 'driver’s license promo' for PhP350 only. Kids’ entrance fee is PhP320, but free for kids less than 3 feet. PhP150 entrance fee for unlimited carousel ride and access to Bumbling Boulders and Boulderville Express. These two rides, we later found out, were just some kiddie rides.

We paid PhP320 for Sofia. No entrance fee for Tallulah, of course. Danny availed the 'driver's license promo' because somebody had to accompany the kids in the challenging rides..hehe. The rest of us paid PhP150 each, and we all enjoyed the carousel ride, kahit masuka-suka na ko, hehe, and I thought my brother would pass out, haha! (photos here!)

The kids had fun, and that’s all that matters.

Tallulah's 1st Haircut

Tallulah had her first haircut today. I've thought about doing it myself but I wasn't sure if I could keep her still for even a minute. Tallulah is sooooo super hyper and so we thought we should bring her to the experts.

My sister-in-law recommended Kids Hair Salon in Robinson's Galleria. The place has several TV screens located in between the mirrors to keep the kids busy while the stylists do their thing. They have DVDs for kids - Barney, Winnie the Pooh, Little Einsteins, you name it! Also, the kids get to sit on "cars" similar to the ones we see in entertainment/arcade centers. There are also stuffed toys all over the place to keep the other kids occupied while they wait for their turn. The price you pay for all of these? PhP270!




Next time, i'll do the haircutting myself. My only problem is, "How do I do it?" Haha!
