At 2 years old, naririnig ko ng kumanta si Rara, at take note, nasa tono sya ha. Meron din syang "woooh wooh wooh" sa dulo kung hinihingi din lang ng kanta. Kaagaw ko na sya sa Magic Sing, pero bonding activity namin to e, kaya pinagbibigyan ko sya. Eto ang mga narinig ko ng kinanta nya:

1. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - Walang gabi na lumampas na hindi nya to kinanta. Bago kasi sya matulog, pinipilit nya akong kantahan ko sya ng kung anu ano at isa na to sa mga kantang yon

2. Ama Namin - Natutunan nyang kantahin ito sa simbahan at kapag nasa bahay na kami kapag kinakanta nya ito, hawak kamay pa rin kaming dalawa. Pagkatapos nyang kumanta isusunod nya ang pag antanda ng krus " in da neym
of di paber, opdi san, oli pirit......... emeeeeen"

3. -kanta ko-

When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'm a stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella

-sa puntong ito, si Rara naman-
eya eya ey ey
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
eya eya ey ey
(Ella ella eh eh eh)

4. Sugarpop - Pop pop pop pop pop pop , Sugarpop (Ang tawag ni Rara dito ay "Syupipay". Kinakanta nya to with matching choreography pa)

6. Hawak kamay - peborit ni Rara sa videoke (lubos kong nauunawaan sapagkat napakaraming taong me gusto sa kantang to)

7. Nandito lang ako - mas peborit ni Rara sa videoke (eto yong themesong ng Captain Barbell)

Rara : "Tibay at yakas ng oob" (Tibay at lakas ng loob)Paulit ulit lnyang kinakanta ang linyang ito hanggang magsawa sya

8. Sundo (kanta ng Imago) - Asahan mooooo.......(yon lang ang kinakanta nya pero sa kabuuan ng kanta, e nka "thumbs up" sign sya - sa video kc di ba nakikihitch lagi si Aia)

9. Para sa akin (kanta ni Sitti) - "Di tita pipiyitin, sundin..blah blah...paya sa akiiiin" (lab na lab nya si Sitti. Nakapanood pa nga kami ng show ni Sitti ng live. Ah ok, cge aminin ko ako talaga ang mahilig ke Sitti ha ha. Meron pa ngang panahon, na naging official pampatulog song nya yong kantang yon - na pag inaantok na sya, ipapasalang na nya sa akin ang mahiwaga at gasgas na CD)

10. At ang panghuli pero di papatalo.....

"Mimimar aaaaw" (Marimar aaaw)


.....haay cge yan na lang muna...at sadyang mahirap mag translate ng salita sa Tagalog. Lalo na ang isalin sa panulat ang mga katagang binibigkas ng isang makulit na bata....aah "terrible two's"....

 
  Sey Mi Mow
Everyday is a great day as Rara cheers me up. I hear her constantly saying "Oh no" everytime she seemed to be displeased, as opposed to her uttering the word "Okay" when she's delighted (e.g right after treating herself to a bottle of milk drink or when we have alighted from the staircase).

I love DVD nights, but cannot fully enjoy it because Rara has owned the DVD player herself. Luckily, I've gotten accustomed to the movies she watch, and enjoyed it myself.

Apart from the popular cartoons which undoubtedly all kids loved to watch, she really really loves the movie First Daughter, only to watch the scene where Samantha Mackenzie, the US President's daughter (played by Katie Holmes) entered the ballroom, wearing a Vera Wang dress with a shawl, as the song Sway played as dance music. When the movie is headed to that scene, I knew exactly what Rara is going to do - she's ecstatic to find anything that would resemble as shawl, then proceed at one corner of the room, then start to walk imitating the way Sam walked.

She utters "Mommy, sey mi mow, sey mi mow (sway me more, sway me more)".

She will then hold my hand and lead me (actually force me) to slow dance. Added to that, she will get my cellphone, aim the camera at me, then say "Mommy, smile" (of course, she doesn't know how to take picture using a cellphone camera yet) then give the phone to me and gamely pose as she waits for me to aim the camera at her and take her picture.

What a dreamy child she is ha ha!

 
  M stands for M-o-v-i-e-s!
I always took some time off to indulge in a few hours of watching movies, be it in the movie house or just at home. And whenever I watch movies, I always toy around with the idea of immersing myself into the characters I associate myself with in the movies, or should I say to "fantasize" would be a more appropriate term. In that process, I was also able to reaffirm my unusual preferences for interesting movie characters. How easy it is to fall in love with the cute, the charming and the dashing-types, but I'm more interested with people who are comfortable with themselves, even with the imperfections.

Well, that serves as a prelude as I introduced the characters and the scenes from the movies which made me want to live out my silly fantasies of living the life that they portray, to be him or her exactly, or at least, be in that scene and feel good or bad by association...

Before Sunrise - "When love can come as a complete surprise".... being Celine (Julie Delpy) and meeting someone during a long train ride, talking about anything under the sun, and spending a romantic evening in a place which is both new to you. Unfortunately, you also have to endure the feeling that this is probably the only night that you'll be together

Before Sunset - "What if you had a second chance with the one that got away?" - being Celine again especially in the scene when she was asked to play the guitar and sang A Waltz For a Night, as Jesse listens with that cute smile in his face (me kilig factor)...haay...So little time, so much love..

The Little Women - being Jo March, and I looove this movie so much (all scenes)...parang ang sarap maging myembro ng March family...and Jo's ways of expressing her love for her family is really funny

Bridget Jones' Diary - I simply love being her as she was loved "just as she is". I love that scene when it seemed that Mark cannot contain his feeling any longer, and gave a short but a very meaningful acceptance of Bridget whom he simply likes just as she is. And Colin Firth is so gorgeous in here. I also enjoy his fight scene with Daniel (played by Hugh Grant), not because I'm into pretty violent wave of anger, but simply because, the fight scene is sooo boyish

Pearl Harbor - wala, crush ko lang kasi talaga si Josh Hartnett (Capt Danny Walker)

Memoirs of A Geisha - wala, crush ko din The Chairman (Ken Watanabe) ha ha ha..Wow, I may fall pala for that type (I love his being compassionate,
which is expressed truly in how he cared for Sayuri)

What's Eating Gilbert Grape - Johnny Depp is my ultimate crush. Needless to say, all his films are a sure hit in my heart. This film is just interesting (maybe because they say Leonardo Di Caprio do better than him in this film)

Excess Baggage - nothing spectacular...it's just that I noticed Benicio del Toro for the first time and became interested in him (saw him again in Sin City). Also because "Crash Into Me" by DMB was played in that movie

Knight's Tale - Loved the way the film incorporated contemporary hard rock tunes and today's lingo into the movie and made it seem as thought it fit that time span. Heath Ledger is also gorgeous kahit madungis

The Devil Wears Prada - Love the perks, but not the job (fave actress ko talaga si Meryl Streep esp in House of the Spirits and Bridges of Madison County)

For now yan muna, I'll share more after my movie marathon.

My Rara enjoys being

For the mean time, I made her a princess first...

Name: Jingks
Location: Philippines

Born on the date when people wouldn't miss sharing a gift, raised in a cool place where we give prominence to the letter "R" (in our town's spoken language, most of the Tagalog words with letter "D" are replaced with letter "R"), and now living and working south of somewhere, with a very colorful life soundtrack. My videoke national anthem is "Goodtimes" by Edie Brickell I am shallow - a decent mug of tea with milk pleases me ; and I am deep - I usually trail socio-political news and issues especially when there is probe in aid of legislation (sabi sa inyo, malalim e ha ha). My personality is very much defined by my iPod music collection. I have a passion for singing and usually takes extra efforts to be discreet and resist the overwhelming urge to sing for hours. Don't worry, the mic still has a chance to leave my hand, when too-mainstream tunes come in.
