we finally got to see the movie that everyone is talking about...the KUNG FU PANDA (oh well...aside from sex & the city) if sex and the city's tagline is "get carried away"... kung fu panda's is "prepare for awesomeness!"
and yes, it truly is awesome! kids and adults alike love it! all i heard from raphael while watching the movie were "cool" and "how did they do that?" and of course his infectious laughter.
but the movie goes beyond just the entertainment value! it's also very rich in positive message and lessons...the following lines are just some of those:
"yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, TODAY is a gift. that's why it's called present."
...if only we'll all learn not to dwell in the past and live for today...
"a true warrior never gives up"
...life, like love, is a battlefield, as the song goes, that's why we should not give up on it or on our dreams despite of and inspite of...
"there are no accidents"
...i believe everything happens for a reason
"there is no secret ingredient...(it's what you put into it yourself)"
...everything that we want to attract and achieve already exists in possibility, we just have to believe in ourselves.
awesome!!!

happy baby's day!
today, june 21 is the official "baby's day" in the padriga home as declared by hubby...here's the story behind it.
days after father's day, raphael insisted that there should also be "baby's day" since there's father's day and mother's day...(although hindi na siya baby hehe but that's the exact term he used) he was kinda upset why there's no baby's day. in fairness, sabi nga ng kanyang ninang carmina, may point si bagets! oo nga naman, may grandparents day nga eh, so why not have a day for the babies or kids di ba?
when he bugged us about it, my response was..."mother's day just like father's day is also your day because i wouldn't be a mommy and dad wouldn't be a father if not for you!"
but that didn't give him much consolation. buti na lang dadu was quick to say "you know what, this saturday is baby's day and we're gonna watch kung fu panda!" that really made raph so excited! he was anticipating that for days. so this morning we greeted him happy baby's day...at si dadu pinanindigan talaga ang dineclare niyang occasion. he woke up early to cook raph's favorite breakfast. at nakaka-aliw, raph even asked yaya and ate josie to greet him. for lunch, he requested for barbecue so we prepared him spare ribs barbecue. while watching tv, when i tried to grab the remote control from him, he said, "it's baby's day mom! my turn!"
and the highlight of our celebration? simple lang naman, we went to the mall, bought him kung fu panda figures from mcdo and of course we watched the movie which he soo loved!
happy baby's day son! i wonder if we'd have a yearly celebration, why not di ba?

father's day blues
first father's day without my father...
but it must be the tagaytay breeze that kind of eased my aching heart. my heart is longing for the two wonderful dads in my life: my father, whom i miss soo much every single day, not just on father's day.
and dadu, who is in bacolod working on father's day! his text message to raphael last night was to take care of me and celebrate even without him...awww!
good thing, my sis picked us up this morning and brought us here to tagaytay.
i miss both my dad and dadu especially on this occasion...but seeing raphael having fun while horseback riding and kite-flying this afternoon kind of cheered me up. and raph and i had the most interesting and enjoyable conversation earlier while we're soaked in the bathtub...(and he looks forward to swimming tomorrow morning at the pool here in taal vista hotel).
my dad must be smiling from above...happy father's day to you! hope you had fun up there too! please continue to watch over us with mudra of course.
next next weekend is his 1st death anniversary and my 6th wedding anniversary...same date!
and on that same day, hubby will be out of town for work...so for the 2nd time, no wedding anniversary celebration for us dahil tatay ko lang ang bida sa araw na yan!
and so goes the cycle, after father's day blues...anniversary blues naman.

certified artist
in the eyes of a parent, every child's achievement is a trophy in itself...it's doubly magnified...BIG DEAL ika nga!this holds true for me...seeing raphael's paintings on exhibit last saturday really brought me so much joy and pride!
i was overwhelmed...pleasantly surprised...and immensely happy!
it was his first time to try out painting and little did i know that he has the talent. so apart from his singing, may creative hands din pala siya.
i'm just so proud of my little boy! he's a certified artist!
and this is not an overstatement!
take a look at some of his works...
bravo anak! you're a real superboy! dadu and mom are super proud of you!

proud mommy moment indeed! and yes of course, dad is excited too! he also made sure he's available and free from work this weekend. thank God!
so ninongs and ninangs, friends and relatives...hehe stage mom ruth here is inviting you all! see you Saturday/Sunday at Art Camp Bezalel, Hemady New Manila. QC, 2 to 6 pm.
