"Mommy, where does my food go, in my tummy or in my pata (she meant legs)?" :D (Dad often teases her to have a big legs)

Got this movie tag from Christianne. They recently watched Bambi. To limit Annika from watching too much tv they let her watch Dora or Blues Clues, she seems to love watching films with animals in it. If there's a film that you may call her favorite, it is Bambi.

The Last full-length movie we watched with the princess was Bee Movie, at first she was a bit scared coz she thought it's like Monsters Inc. (yeah, she got really scared at that film) but I assured her that it wasn't a scary film then she started focusing on it and later on I noticed she's becoming enthusiastic about it. In the middle of the film she started asking why's about the bees. Hubby and I found this film entertaining and the realization Barry had between the balance in nature is the one thing I liked in it.

The last few movies we watched were the following;


I AM LEGEND - I am a bit disappointed in this film maybe because I have high expectations the moment I saw the trailer. I thought it's almost the same as 28 Days Later (with a sequel of 28 Weeks Later), the infected turned into a monstrous creature who's survival lies on feeding humans. It's quite okay though in the case of suspenseful competence, one scary sequence was when Will Smith followed his dog into a warehouse which turned out to be the place where the infected stays while the sun is still up.

NATIONAL TREASURES - This movie is fun. I enjoyed the intellectual puzzle solving in it and the chase between Mitch Wilkinson and Ben Gates. The film did a fine job of making you feel like you were along for the ride, and on that level it really worked. I especially liked Riley, Ben's sidekick (played by Justin Bartha) who played the typical adventurers of a sidekick, but a little more substantial than that as well.


P.S. I LOVE YOU - I've read this book before and I was so excited to see the film. Of course I liked the book more than the film because they obviously couldn't be as detailed as the book. Just like when I was reading the book, I cried a lot in this film. Maybe because I was always putting myself in the shoes of Holly. Who wouldn't cry if your husband died at an early age and none of your dream as a married couple has happened yet.

VANTAGE POINT - The film stops and rewinds back to 20 minutes before the event for each character. It has a good puzzle and it delivers on all accounts. I love the twists and turns and I really enjoyed the suspense and intense action. Half way through this movie, if you think you got it all figured out, you will later find out that you haven't got a clue.

Finally, I'm tagging other people to do this meme... Kay, Jing, May & Lot.

Sharp Memory

A month ago hubby and the princess went to Inengs at Trinoma to buy some barbecue. Last night hubby had some cravings to it again and so he told the princess that they'll go out to buy some barbecue. She asked for my permission if she can come with daddy. Then I asked her, " Where are you going to buy barbecue?", to my surprise she replied "hmmm, to trinoma". It's been a month and she still remembers, to think that she's been there just once.

THIS IS WHAT LOVE IS ALL ABOUT!

A friend sent me this email, whether this is a true story or not it touched my heart and I wanted to share it here. It reminds me of the movie "The Notebook". Haaay, umiral na naman ang pagiging Hopeless Romantic ko :D

It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am., when an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation. I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.

I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.

He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him, "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?"

He smiled as he patted my hand and said, "She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is."

I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, " That is the kind of love I want in my life."

True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be and will not be.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

Saying Sorry...

One thing that I love about the princess is her pride-less way of saying sorry. Every time she sees that I am disappointed with her actions, she never fails to say sorry and she will not stop until she knows that she's forgiven.

To you my dear princess,

I hope you'll stay that way. You will surely grow up a lovable person if you know how to accept your mistakes. I hope you know that whatever you do, nothing will ever make me love you less...

"A New Pair of Eyes"

Hubby has been wearing an eyeglass since he was in High School, he's been wanting to get rid of it but he can't because he's allergic to contact lenses and having an eye grade of 450-475, you can imagine how hard it is for him. After a year of contemplating, he finally decided to push through with PRK(Photorefractive Keratectomy), a procedure in which the surface of the cornea is reshaped using an Excimer laser. He had to think about it for a long time because we were scared of the possible irreversible complications. I was watching all throughout the procedure, it took only 30-45 minutes for the whole process and thank God everything went well. His vision now is 20-50 and his eyes aren't still totally healed, the doctor said it could still improve later on if he will follow all his orders. Congrats dad for your new pair of eyes!:D

Isn't he sweet?

Thanks Dad, we love you so much!!!

"Mommy, I'm going to be a doctor so I can remove your cough"

Bringing My Passion To The Next Level

My growing passion for cooking made me decide to go into the next level, I'll be taking up formal classes in culinary. I'll start with the short course while waiting for the one to two year program to begin. I'm so glad when hubby gave me that opportunity to fulfill one of my greatest dream. I have some reservations though, it will affect my "mommy side". The princess will start on her first formal class and I'd like to be the one to prepare her before going to school. I wanted to be with her during the first week that I'll be allowed to stay in the school. I wanted to be the first person she'd see after class and I'd like to be there to ask how her class turned out. There's going to be a problem about this because both classes (mine and the princess') will start on the same date, my time is from 7:00am to 4:00pm while hers will be from 8:00 to 11:00am. I have another option, that is to take the August class for me to be there for her at least for two months, by that time I start with my class, she's adjusted to her new environment. Hubby thought I am wasting time by delaying my enrollment, I didn't want to disappoint him because he's been very supportive but I told him I can't concentrate in class if he'll push me to start on June coz I'll feel so guilty about not being there for my daughter on an important event in her life. I don't know if delaying it would be a right decision but I know I'll be very happy to witness another "first" in my princess' life.
