A Letter to the Purple Dinosaur

Dear Barney,

My son Red is a huge fan of your show. At age 3, he knows almost all of your songs. Such a bright kid, isn't he? After waking up and before going to bed he never fails to watch your dvd's. You are his favorite along side Baby Bop, Fritz and BJ. Not until he sees this "cute little Chinese girl" in your Mr. Sun vid. He has been "harassing" me while saying, "Daddy, gusto ko ung babae!" (which means, "Daddy, I want that girl!") since that day.

I just want to ask for that cute little Chinese girl's name. Also, do you have her contact details? Hope to hear your reply. You will definitely make two people happy if you do. Thanks a lot.

Truly yours, Daddy Kuri

P.S. Rumors say you are gay. But I say, straight dinos can also wear purple.

Barney 4ever! xoxo

Red vs the dreadful DMZ

Ibang klase talaga ang likot ni Red. Hyper. Unlimited ang energy! Nagiging visible tuloy agad ang wrinkles ko kakasaway.

Aaminin ko, madalas nari-reach na nya ang threshold level ng pasensya namin ni wifey. Kaya naman kung anuano na ang ginagawa namin para ma-disiplina sya gaya ng paggamit ng special creatures like Dragons, Monsters at Zombies. Nga lang, alam na rin ni Red kung pano i-conquer ang kanyang fear.

For ex,

(1)Pag ayaw nya uminom ng vitamins sinasabi namin magagalit ang dragon na sasagutin nya nang, "Kulit ka dragon ha, salbahe!"

(2)ung monster app sa cel ni wifey pinilit nya laruin hangang sa masanay na sya sa nakikita nya. "Laro ako manter mummy!"

(3)at ngayon nga nangungulit na naman, ayaw paawat. Sabi ko "Gusto mo sumbong kita sa zombies?" "YES!",ang sabeh kaya naisipan kong ipanood sa kanya ang Zombieland movie.

Ang siste, imbes na matakot, naenjoy nya ang sine. Eto nga at kinukulit na naman ako, "Daddy, gusto ko pa dragon, manter at zombie, sabay sabay na!"

DYUSME!

Let's paint the town red!

How to give your kid an unlimited arcade fun without leaving you broke

Every weekend walang palya, nag-aaya si Red sa mall. Isa lang naman ang hilig nya dun- mag-shoot ng mag-shoot ng mag-shoot sa basketball arcade.

Problema lang kapag nasimulan ng mag-shoot, asahan mong 48 years kayong magshu-shoot. Kalurqui ang gastos!

Buti nalang naka-isip siya mismo ng paraan para makatulong makatipid sa mummy at daddy nya.

Very good boy!

2 days to go Red day na! Gift nya ha?

Daddy vs his exercise buddy

Pagkagising naming mag-daddy from our 4-hour long afternoon nap, nakita ko si Red nilagay ang dalawang kamay sa likod ng ulo nya at nag-umpisang mag crunches.

Sabi ko sa kanya, "Ano gawa mo?"

Sagot nya, "Exercise lang ako daddy, wait lang ha."

4 days na lang, 3 na si Red. Excited na ko for more of his "kalokohans" to come!
