What my kids are like, and how to raise your child/children in this day and age.

My Monkeys in Rain Forest

I was really curious about this place near us, a good 5 minute drive, er, 10 minutes including the numerous humps on the way (our village is famous for that). The Pasig Rainforest is located in Pasig, where else? Kidding aside, it is somewhere in floodway or near it. I can’t remember the exact location..

The park was really big but not as forestry as La Mesa Eco Park. You can do a lot inside the park, run, play tennis, animal sight seeing (they have a small zoo), swim, and they have a gym too. The best thing to do here is sit on the grass and watch your kiddos turn from humans to monkeys..

And having fun at the green, green green grass.. even Chico loves to play on it

At first I thought they will not enjoy it that much, but see? they can’t get enough being a monkey.. but watch for the TREX!!!

Mommy Moments- Pouting Face

This week’s theme for Mommy Moments is Pouting Face. A friend told me that Olsen twins get their perfect pout lips every shot by saying prunes. So curiously, I asked my two kids to say PRUNES, instead of chiz!

This little boy is our official pout baby. Oh well, he pouts without making an effort.

You’re The 1 Goldilocks

When I think about Goldilocks, the first thing that comes into my mind are my kids, their parties and cakes, sumptuous meals on Goldilocks food shop and many pasalubong moments…

I met Goldilocks when I was in college, to us then, a mere mention of Goldilocks would mean a siopao or a mouth watering Black Forrest slice. To us students, Goldilocks is a mere merienda, a mereinda that we could not last a day without a munch.

My first taste of real Goldilocks happiness was when I had my first son, his first birthday, his first cake. It was a Mickey Mouse themed cake, his favorite cartoon character. The look on his eyes when he saw his cake was just priceless. The beam of happiness shinning through his eyes just melt my heart. It was a moment that I treasure until now. It was a moment so surreal that I almost run to the nearest Goldilocks branch and thank them for bringing such happiness to my baby.

our first Goldilocks experience..

Parties aside, Goldilocks has been our partner in rearing up the kids. A promise of a bag full of Goldilocks goods such as ensaymada, ube bread, monggo bread, mamon or polvoron can make my kids turn from naughty to nice. It has been the constant pasalubong from their dad, from a relative or from me. A promise of Goldilocks siomai can make them stop from crying when Mommy needs to go out.

Kids after kids, Goldilocks continue to be our number 1, our only choice. Any occasion is never complete without a cake from Goldilocks. It should be Goldilocks’ cake, no other way. From first birthday of my kids, to my mother in laws birthday to just about anything. If my files has not been erased, I would have flooded you with mouth watering photos of our cakes from Goldilocks.
