Are you fond of looking
GIF-animated photos in some blogs or sites? Do you wonder how these were created?
Here is a simple tutorial that might help you figure-out and eventually create
your own photos like these two grabbed from Momaye's Diary.

Movie Sharing: Frozen
I was lucky to download a clear copy of Disney’s 2013 Animated Movie Frozen. It is a 3d-computer animated musical
fantasy-comedy movie based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, “The Snow Queen”.
Last Sunday, Mommy, Matt
and I watched it upstairs. Let me share the story.
The story revolves on the
two princesses of Arendelle - Elsa and Anna. Elsa has the ability to make ice and
snow. Unfortunately, her younger sister Anna got injured in one of their plays.
She was accidentally struck by Elsa at the head and made it frozen. The King and Queen
brought her to the trolls to ask for any treatment. She got healed but her memories about Elsa’s
magic were erased. From then on, their parents closed the gates of the castle and
isolated Elsa and Anna from each other.

Remembering the Karaoke Days
Before the Magic Sings,
before the videokes, one of the favorite past times of many way back is singing using Karaoke. All you need is a microphone + multiplex or minus one cassette tapes
and there you go.
As I mentioned in my
previous post, Papa loves music. Not only playing the guitar, he loves to sing
too. Actually, because of him, I was exposed to the music of the 4 music icons
– Tom Jones, Matt Monro, Engelbert Humperdink and Frank Sinatra. Believe it or
not, I sang Tom Jones' “One Day Soon” way back in high school. Our
teacher will randomly pick one girl and one boy to perform any act before the
start of the class.

Family Day Sundays: Busy Weekend
Last Sunday has been a bit
productive for me compared to other Sundays. Aside from crocheting, I did
carwashing, gardening and of course cooking. By the way, Matt and I went to the
barber shop early to have his haircut. Two months na yata since his last haircut. Here he is:

Rated SPG Commercials?
Do you think TV ads should
be also regulated by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board
(MTRCB)? Why did I say this? Here is the
scenario:
The other night, Mommy is
crocheting while watching TV then Matt approached. To her surprise, she was
slapped by Matt and said: “Walang sa’yo
Nicole! Akin lang ang asawa ko!”

Weekend Reflections: Hold on Your Time
I saw this photo from a group I joined in Facebook and I suddenly felt guilty on this one.

TV Over the Net
Every afternoon, when we arrived at home , the TV is always on and they are watching afternoon soap. Unfortunately last Tuesday, Mommy and I were surprised to see it off. Then Matt said: “Sira na po ung TV oh, Mommy, Daddy!”. Matt used to make sumbong of the things he did the whole day when we arrive.
Then I checked the TV and it doesn't continue
upon pressing the On/Off button. Though we still have one unit in our bedroom, is
this the sign that we need to buy a new one? A LED or Smart TV maybe. (Naku, kailangan pang sipagan sa MTOs. Hehehe)
But for the meantime, we will bring the TV in a repair shop and check how much
it will cost for the repair.

Unique Wedding Rings
Wedding ring is one of the
symbols of eternal love. This is one of the reasons why most couples look for
the best quality for their wedding. The most traditional material used is gold.
Like ours, we actually went to Meycauayan, Bulacan where there are many jewellery
stores and wedding ring makers at a very affordable price. You can also request for a customized one.

Stop The Bottles!
One of the problems encountered by parents is on how are they
going to wean their babies not only from breastfeeding but in bottles too. I
just noticed that there are some kids that are still on their bottles not only
on milk but in some liquids too (juice, chocolate drinks, etc.). Some even at
the age of 6 or 7, they cannot sleep if they don’t drink their milk using
feeding bottles.
Good for us that we didn’t have difficulties when we stopped Matt
in using feeding bottles. In as early as 2 years old and a span of less than a month, he
stopped in drinking milk from feeding bottles. He never wake-up in the
middle of the night and ask for milk. This might be one of the reason na rin why he didn’t pee at night aside
from using cloth diaper.

My Own Bag Day
It has been our tradition
to attend the New Year’s Day mass. Unfortunately, we are 2 hours early before
the first mass starts. We just prayed and our give thanks for all the blessings
that we received in the past year and for giving us another prosperous year
instead of waiting for the mass to start. Then we headed to the nearest mall
for the kids to enjoy the said day.
After enjoying the carousel
and remote controlled cars, we had to go to the supermarket and buy some items
for home.

First Visit for the Year 2014
It has been our tradition
to go home in Nueva Ecija right after celebrating Holiday Season. Mama and Papa
used to visit us on Christmas day naman kasi.
We took the road last
Saturday afternoon and arrived there at around 6 pm. Matt’s Tita Rona invited
us for a dinner at the newly opened Jollibee-Muñoz, Nueva. Unfortunately we
already took our dinner and it was a bit late since she will be out of her work
at around 8:30pm. Isa pa, nag-eenjoy na si Papa playing with his makulit na
apo. So we decided to move the treat for breakfast nalang.

Lord Patawad, Daddy Patawad…
One day, while having our
breakfast, I got angry with Matt for being makulit. So I told him to move out
of the dining table, stand on the corner and face the wall, which is one of
worst punishments to him. He refused and just ran out of the door and stayed at
the terrace playing his cars.
After a couple of minutes,
we were surprised to hear him sing.
Lord, patawad.....
Ako’y makasalanan,
Makasalanang nilalan…

Project: Lightning McQueen Crochet Hat
Happy New Year to All! To start the year, I would like to share my last project for the year 2013 – the Lightning
McQueen Crochet Hat.
Matt is a certified fan of
Cars. He knows the major characters like McQueen, Hudson, Sally, Mater, Sheriff
and Mac. He even called my service car as McQueen (Red Picanto), his Tito’s
Pick-up as Hudson and our neighbor’s black car as Sheriff.
Last Christmas, we decided
to have him a Cars-inspired outfit - clothes and shoes. To complete the set
from head to foot, I made a Lightning McQueen crochet hat. Nakakakonsensya kasi yung sabi ni Mommy: “Andami natin nagawang hats
for others this year, pero wala pa tayo nagagawa para kay Matthew.” This is
one of the reasons why we closed the MTOs at Momaye’s Shoppe on the first week
of December.
