Something Old, Something New--Birthday Celebration 2014
By Mommy Donna and Kib - October 28, 2014
My son and I’s birthdays are just five days apart. I really plan that every year, our
birthday celebration will be unique so that we will have something to remember. Since I’m too busy
with my work, I wasn’t able to plan well for our celebration, that is why I
entitled my blog like this. I have
to ‘repeat’ the same things that we did before and of course, I still tried to
do something new.
My son is really begging me about having a party. Personally, I don’t like parties
because of the preparation that you have to do plus the stress of who’s who on
the guestlist. Anyway, I just
asked my son where he wants to go and do on his birthday.
Pre-birthday celebration, I shopped clothes and shoes for
him. I bought him a new pair of
sneakers and shorts. Since it was
also my birthday, I told him that I will also shop for myself. I teased him that he should buy
something for me since it is also my birthday. Little did I know that while I was looking around the store, he
was also looking something for me!
He was consulting his lola, asking if I will like it. He even waited for me outside the
fitting room just for him to see if the shirt he had chosen for me fits me. I showed it to him and he said
in delight, ‘Mommy you look sexy!’
Since he didn’t have money at that time, I paid for the shirt he had
chosen for me, but when we got home, he opened his piggy bank and gave me some
money.
I wonder what's inside...hmmm
Shopping galore for Kib!
On his birthday, before we went out to celebrate, I let him
blew candles on his birthday cake.
I only chose a small cake for him because we might not be able to finish
a regular-sized cake.
Happy birthday Kib!
We first went to Manila Ocean Park. It’s already our third visit there but
still Kib enjoyed the place. This
time, he is so diligent to read all the information about the sea creatures
there. He even gets mad at me
whenever I tell him to move to another spot. Outside Manila Ocean Park I let him have a 4D ride.
Kib's 4D ride. The attendant is so kind to accompany him inside since I'm a bit lazy to ride with him
So this is how it feels to be in a cold region, brr!
That's Kib's shadow, pardon for being dark, camera flash is not allowed inside the oceanarium. He is reading the information about clownfish
Our next stop was at Myth of the Human Body. We had been in this exhibit several
years ago (check my post at http://homeschoolerkib.blogspot.com/2012/07/walk-through-history.html)
, but I am so happy to know that they are here to stay permanently. They are now staying at their new
location at Boom na Boom Complex in Pasay City. This time, my son really enjoyed the museum tour as he is
also engaging on a conversation with the tour guide. The most exciting part of the tour was when we were given a
close encounter with Red Man outside the glass casing. That exhibit is called Red Man because
it is a system of veins and arteries in the human body. For me that exhibit is amazing because
the procedure of ‘melting’ human flesh to get the veins is difficult. The most inevitable part of the tour is
when Kib laid down in a coffin! The
museum staff were so amazed by Kib’s wit and charm that they gave him a
souvenir after the museum trip.
The present home of Myth of the Human Body, so nice facade!
This is what you will see as you enter the building, so classic!
Thank you, for your wonderful gift!
Kib did the inevitable! Can you do it?
Last stop was at Movie Stars Café along SM Mall of Asia
complex. Since it was still too early for dinner, we walked towards SM Mall of
Asia to kill time. Again we went
to check out some clothes and this time, Kib has money. He got some coins from his piggy bank
and put it in his wallet. He was
so determined to buy something from me that he is counting his money if he has
enough. When I told him that
there’s no need to buy something from me, he cried. So to make him stop, I said that it is okay to buy something
for me. He was the one choosing,
he doesn’t like my choices. When I
already agreed on his choice, he whispered to his lola if she can add more
money. Such a sweet boy!
These are Kib's gifts to me =) Posted at Instagram
At Movie Stars Café, we all had a blast. It’s kid-friendly! The cosplayers interacted with the kids
and the adults, they seem to never get tired of giving entertainment to the
customers. My son felt that he is
a part of the team! He danced
together with the cosplayers.
Happy birthday to us! Thank you Movie Stars Cafe! Photo posted at Instagram

Our birthday celebration may not be as grandiose as it
should be, but the most important is we both had fun. Belated happy birthday to us!
