typhoon season.. take1

Dear Jenny Rei,

movie marathon..

since my eldest has no class for a few days due to typhoon and my youngest is hyperactive as ever, i've decided to bring their watching hobby into a deeper zone..  they have already memorized most disney and warner and dream works and barbie movies, so now ill try if they would like miyazaki's films too..

miyazaki's films are more serious than those previously mentioned movies..  at first i'm not really sure if my daughters would like it, baka kasi they're sort-of nasanay na sa mga jolly scenes and musical numbers ng disney et all..  my youngest has a violent reaction tendency pa naman pag hindi nya gusto ang palabas ü..

so on with the marathon..  in 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1..

KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE

it's about a 13-year old witch who set off to begin her 1-year training together with her black cat jiji..

LAPUTA - CASTLE IN THE SKY

about a long-lost young heiress to the throne of laputa - a floating island thus the castle in the sky..

SPIRITED AWAY

about a young chihiro and her adventure in an mystic yet creepy town to save her parents who turned into a pig..

PRINCESS MONONOKE

a kinda love story between a warrior and a wolf-adopted girl..

i felt relieved as i observe them liking the - hmm, not sure if its rabbit or what, basta the ghibli logo ü..  buti na lang cute din yung mga graphics ng palabas, kaya - on with the marathon ü..  we've watched these movies, tuloy-tuloy!  a disc after a disc, wiwi lang ang pahinga ü..  junk food poured, good thing healthy ang drinks namin, yakult ü..  my head hurts like you wouldn't believe after the last movie, but my kids' still asking for more - bisyo na 'to ü..  well, i know naman that its not healthy na kaya i tactfully diverted their thoughts into something else - coloring!  heheh, i lured them with my newly bought disney princesses coloring books and new sets of big (its really big) crayons and voila!  they forgot about watching another movie for now..

after they're done coloring the books and some part of the wall (courtesy of my hard-headed bunso), i cleaned them up na and changed their clothes and put some off lotion on them (mahirap na, rainy season ngayon, so iwas-dengue kami noh) we're off to lay on bed na and start taking pictures naman ü..

not a bad day, indeed..
