Happy New Year!
For my first blog entry this year, I’m sharing my favorite activity
in my life – outdoor fun for my kids!
Thanks to Mother Helen, my kids’ grandma, who had been
consistently providing financial support to Hami, for I am able to bring my
children outside Valenzuela at least once a month.
We went first to SM North Annex intending to purchase a new
cellphone charger but my sister-in-law volunteered to give me her extra Samsung
charger instead, so, I didn’t buy. We then ate at our usual dining place,
Tokyo-Tokyo, where my son ordered his favorite Tempura. We also went to
Kultura where I purchased three sets of simple fresh water pearls, then to SM
Appliance Center where I bought a new toaster as my post-wedding anniversary gift
for my mama and papa.
During moments when my daughter refused to walk, my
sister-in-law would help me with Hami. She would carry my 15-kilo two-year old
girl while we stroll at the mall.
At the time we reached Trinoma, I decided to allow Vladimir
to play at Timezone while I sit and wait at McDonalds to attend to my sleeping Hami
and to our few purchased stuff from SM North. Vladimir finished playing at
almost dinner time so he ate first before we proceeded to Trinoma’s “Christmas
Village” for some picture taking. Our last stop was Landmark.
I really enjoyed watching my kids have fun. Hami was no
longer that aloof to her Tita Mama, and Vladimir had been a responsible big
brother, chasing his sister around every time Hami speeds up her walking pace.
It’s almost 10:00 pm when we arrived home. Papa was anxious
and worried. I felt like a teenager being subjected to curfew again. But the
moment I showed my papa my anniversary present for him and for mama, his fury
subsided. He just asked who we’re with, and I told him we were with the kids’
aunt.
