Pogs To The Rescue!

I was in the bathroom when my second son called and asked me to see what is written on the rubber mat..initially, my mind went on like, WHAT!?! he wrote on the rubber mat?!? but then again, I am not the type of mom who over reacts without seeing what he did. So I told him, I’ll just finish what I am doing and I’ll see what he wrote on the rubber mat..

When I went to their play area ( a space in our living room covered with rubber mat) I just saw pogs* scattered on the floor..

at first I can’t figure out what is written or what was he trying to say using the pogs, then I turn around and I saw this:

Can you tell what is written?

And that just made my Sunday morning.. I feel so loved as a mother 🙂 made me smile the whole day and almost forgot that I need to read the results of my ct scan placed on my devised medication cart (we have a small cart where most of the medical results are placed as well as the kids medicine).

*Pogs is the game that we used to play in the 90’s popularized by Coke. To play this game you need to collect discs which are called pogs. The pogs/discs are placed like a tower and players will have to hit it with a special pogs (harder than the rest, usually made of plastics where pogs are made of paper).. all that went down the tower will be given to the player who hit it.. I can’t remember what the special pogs is called.

If my memory serves me right, Coke issue pogs and you can have it in exchange of Coke crowns.. good thing my lola owns a sari sari store, we almost had an unlimited supply of Coke crowns 🙂

Now pogs can be bought everywhere 🙂 in different designs too.

What’s Inside My Brown Paper Bag?

Can you guess what’s inside my brown paper bag?

In relation to Pasig City ordinance against the use of plastics, establishments here in Pasig are now gearing towards the use of brown paper bag instead.. and you wouldn’t believe that even my favorite thrift store is also using brown paper bag.

Super 8 grocery at Ortigas Avenue Extension is now using Brown Paper bag as well as Ever Gotesco.. I still have to try shopping at their department store and see for myself.

As for the content of my brown paper bag, take a look here.

Holiday Games That We Played

Our Christmas celebration was so much fun and one of the reasons why was the games that the kids played. Overall the kids played five games together with the big boys (my husband, my brother in law and my youngest brother). The first game they played was Stop Dance and the toddlers join in the fun. Sati, Chico and Dylan had so much fun dancing to the music but of course they do not know they have to stop when the music stops.

Then the boys played Pinoy Henyo with the older ones. My brother who was playing online bingo night had to stop what he was doing. Since Pinoy Henyo is a game where the players are paired with each other, the kids need their partners. Kayil was paired with my brother in law, Mico with my brother and Kieth with my husband.

The first round of the game, it was the kids who had to guess what is written on the paper on their forehead. To those who have no idea how this game is played, it is a game of logic. A word is placed in a piece of paper and put on the forehead of the other player. He will then ask his partner questions (that can only be answerable by yes, no or maybe) that in the end will guide him in guessing what the word is. It is deductive reasoning in the works.

The last game two games they played were Paper Dance and longest Ahh game. We also joined in the fun and our mom beat us in the longest Ahh game.
