NEW TOYS: SNOW WHITE AND ARIEL MAGICLIP TOY FIGURES

-

Sadako got her wish granted last week when I bought her the Rapunzel MagiClip doll that came with two squeeze dresses that she could use with her other Disney Princess dolls.

She has this impression now that every time we go to the mall, I must buy her another MagiClip toy to add to her collection.

So when we went to Robinsons Magnolia yesterday, she dragged me to Toys ‘R Us. The moment we got there, she headed straight to where the MagiClip dolls were and grabbed Snow White. And because she completed a 50-piece puzzle last night, I had to get her another doll, as promised.

She was torn between Anna of Frozen and Ariel, and she eventually chose the Little Mermaid.

As usual, she just wanted me to pay for them and for us to go sit somewhere so she could already play with them.

And as usual, I was for her the annoying parent who just has to take hundreds of photos before she could get to open her toy.


This is Sadako not exactly delighted about how I required her to have her photos taken first before she could open them.


This is Sadako faking a smile.


This is Sadako getting tired of all the fake smiles she has to make.


This is Sadako starting to get annoyed and impatient.


This is Sadako bored and not cooperating.

After some shots, I finally let her open her toys and check them out.

But I just had to take some more snapshots.


This is Sadako trying on the MagiClip dresses as earrings.

I bet she can’t wait for next week. My wallet, too.

TOMS OPENS FLAGSHIP STORE IN SM MEGAMALL’S MEGA FASHION HALL

Congratulations to shoe brand TOMS, which now has their flagship store at the Mega Fashion Hall of SM Megamall! I have to admit I’ve never owned a pair of TOMS so when I got to the store, I took my time and looked at EVERYTHING, from the men’s shoes to the even the women’s, plus those for kids, too. Now this has got to be my favorite and I have already promised my feet that I shall buy a beautiful polk-a-dotted pair once I get my 13 th month pay. Lakas maka-hot dad, noh? This looks pretty cool, too. Not-your-usual, but not too in-your-face. This blue-and-white striped one is also something I would go for, although I’d love to use a pair for summer just so I can go for a nautical look. Imagine a crisp white tee, a navy pair of shorts, and these. Perfect. Before I headed out, I was able to score a pair of this Chocolate Canvas under Original Classics. I am in love with these basic ones I want a pair in all colors! For moms out there, there i

I AUDITIONED FOR SMOKEY MOUNTAIN

I loved singing and performing for relatives and guests at home when I was young. One time, when I was about four years old, my mother asked me to sing Tomorrow for our relatives who were visiting. I instantly burst into song. However, after singing the first line with so much passion, I decided to stop and asked to be excused. I went inside my room, did a proper entrance, and then whipped out my milk bottle, which I used as a microphone. I sang “The sun will come out tomorrow” again and finished the song. No doubt about it: even when I was just a kid, I already knew I wanted to sing and perform for others. Fast forward to my high school years. One day, I read in the papers that Ryan Cayabyab was forming an all-male version of Smokey Mountain. Of course, I just had to try out. I didn’t tell my parents about it. My friends and I decided to try our luck. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, Smokey Mountain was a vocal group composed

MY 3-YEAR-OLD IS ALREADY WEARING A BRA

And it’s Beyonce’s fault. See, Sadako has a thing for playing dress-up. She asks for a bandana or a scarf or any piece of cloth to be wrapped around her head whenever she wants to sing along to her favorite Erykah Badu song, “Bag Lady.” She makes sure she’s wearing her kitten heels whenever she performs Tamar Braxton’s “Love and War.” She grabs this piece of white piece of lacy fabric and puts it around her shoulders whenever she’s copying Christina Aguilera in her American Music Awards performance, where she sang a medley of tracks from her “Lotus” album, starting with “Lotus (Intro).” So going back to Beyonce, my little one discovered the talented star just recently when I popped in a DVD copy of her 2006 concert. It didn’t take long for Sadako to copy the star’s birits, moves, and get-ups. So one night I get home and see my three-year old daughter wearing her mother’s bra.  This morning, I woke up to Sadako singing along to Beyonce’s “Green
