My eldest is into Barbie since she was 5 years old. She can watch Barbie movies the whole day. She can play Barbie games online the whole day too. She pretends to be Barbie and changes her name into one of the roles Barbie played. And for someone who did not experience having Barbie dolls of her own, I support Alex in this. Besides, there is nothing wrong with playing with Barbie dolls and all the movies we have seen have moral lessons in them.

And what do you know. Barbie is going to perform live, here in Manila, in a place that is one train ride away from us! How cool can that be? In just a few days, Manila’s stage will get a makeover as Barbie, Ken and their friends get their sparkle on! Do you have your tickets already?

Barbie Live! The Musical will happen at the SM Mall of Asia Arena from December 11-15, 2013.

My youngest daughter has started to give interest to television. She is 3.5 years-old. Before, she does her thing despite the television on with her Ate Alex, our eldest, watching. Recently, I noticed that when Alex watch musical shows, Max stops playing on her own and looks at the television too. She particularly watches Hi-5.

Once, and I can remember it well, Max and hubby had this conversation while the Hi-5 credits is flashing after the show.

Max: Gusto ko diyan! (pointing to the television)
Daddy: Gusto mo diyan?
Max: Yes! Gusto ko punta diyan!
Mommy: Eh galing na sila dito last time eh.
Daddy: Anak, pwede ko sila papuntahin dito, pero hindi na tayo kakain.

The things we do and think for our children.

Lo and behold, I was on Facebook and I saw this poster a while ago! I was ecstatic! I want to bring Maxyn to the show! (But why is it that the cast is different?) Still, I want Max to experience it! Oh, I pray, pray, pray that a budget can be allotted for this.

Hi-5 will perform live on stage at SM AURA Samsung Hall on December 13-15, 2013. Shows will be at 1PM, 4PM, and 7PM. Ticket prices: VIP – 2120, Patron – 1590, Balcony – 1060, Limited VIP with Meet & Greet – 2650.
