revolutionary years
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1950's, 60' s, 70's and early 80's !!
First, some of us survived being born to mothers who did not have an OB-Gyne and drank San Miguel Beer while they carried us.
While pregnant, they took cold or cough medicine, ate isaw, and didn't worry about diabetes.
Then after all that trauma, our baby cribs were made of hard wood covered with lead-based paints, pati na yung walker natin, matigas na kahoy din at wala pang gulong.
We had no soft cushy cribs that play music, no disposable diapers (lampin lang), and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, no kneepads , sometimes wala pang preno yung bisikleta.
As children, we would ride in hot un-airconditioned buses with wooden seats (yung JD bus na pula), or cars with no airconditioning & no seat belts (ngayon lahat may aircon na)
Riding on the back of a carabao on a breezy summer day was considered a treat. (ngayon hindi na nakakakita ng kalabaw ang mga bata)
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle purchased from 711 (minsan straight from the faucet or poso)
We shared one soft drink bottle with four of our friends, and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate rice with star margarine, drank raw eggs straight from the shell, and drank sofdrinks with real sugar in it (hindi diet coke), but we weren't sick or overweight kasi nga ......
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, and get back when the streetlights came on. Sarap mag patintero, tumbang preso, habulan at taguan.
No one was able to reach us all day ( di uso ang cellphone , walang beepers ) . And yes, we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our wooden trolleys (yung bearing ang gulong) or plywood slides out of scraps and then ride down the street , only to find out we forgot the brakes! After hitting the sidewalk or falling into a canal (seweage channel) a few times, we learned to solve the problem ourselves with our bare & dirty hands .
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 100 channels on cable, no DVD movies, no surround stereo, no IPOD's, no cell phones, no computers, no Internet, no chat rooms, and no Friendsters. ...... ...WE HAD REAL FRIENDS and we went outside to actually talk and play with them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no stupid lawsuits from these accidents . The only rubbing we get is from our friends with the words..masakit ba ? pero pag galit yung kalaro mo,,,,ang sasabihin sa iyo..beh buti nga !
We played marbles (jolens) in the dirt , washed our hands just a little and ate dirty ice cream & fish balls. we were not afraid of getting germs in our stomachs.
We had to live with homemade guns " gawa sa kahoy, tinali ng rubberband , sumpit , tirador at kung ano ano pa na puedeng makasakitan. .pero masaya pa rin ang lahat.
We made up games with sticks ( syatong ), and cans ( tumbang preso ) and although we were told they were dangerous, wala naman tayong binulag o napatay.paminsan minsan may nabubukulan lang.
We walked, rode bikes, or took tricycles to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them to jump out the window!
Mini basketball teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't pass had to learn to deal with the disappointment.. Wala yang mga childhood depression at damaged self esteem ek-ek na yan.. Ang pikon, talo.
Ang magulang ay nandoon lang para tignan kung ayos lang ang mga bata, hindi para makialam at makipag-away sa ibang parents.
That generation of ours has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers, creative thinkers and successful professionals ever! They are the CEO's, Engineers, Doctors and Military Generals of today.
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had failure, success, and responsibility. We learned from our mistakes the hard way.
You might want to share this with others who've had the luck to grow up as real kids . We were lucky indeed..
And if you like, forward it to your kids too, so they will know how brave their parents were.
It kind of makes you wanna go out and climb a tree, doesn't it?!
PS - The big letters are because your eyes may not be able to read this if they were typed any smaller (at your age).

A month to go before our Macey's grand day! Whew! This is tiring yet, i am enjoying the preparation and stuffs. I even consider venturing into this kind of business, event specialist / party planner whatever you may call it :-D... but again... HOW? hahaha! I always have this HOW thingy... :-P
Anyway, here's the latest update for Macey's first birthday celebration:
Party theme:

- we have already reserved Dad's Megamall for Sunday, September 13 @ 3:00pm
- we also opted to get their venue decoration service, less hassle for us :-)
Invitation
- c/o mommie
Prices, Pinata, Pabitin, Lootbags, Tarpaulin
- done buying these stuffs. we only have to wrap the prices, put candies and coins in the pinata, and so on...
Dress
- since there's no costume for her party theme; we just follow the Backyardigans color!
- we shopped at Periwinkle for the kids' dress, yellow dress for ate and pink for the celebrant :-)
- daddy will just wear something blue and mommy... still undecided! hahaha! it's either pink or green :-D hehehehe!
Photographer
- Cute Prints
- i always wanted to get Ging Lorenzo's service, but damn! she's always fully booked... :-(
- i visited cute prints multiply site. the pix are good and the package is not bad :-) let's wait and see :-) i hope my decision is right hehehe!
Videographer
- booked for Digitaljuice's service, they're also our videographer during Micah's first birthday. I love their work, really!
Cake
- ordered from Kitchen Krafts :-) yum! will have to visit them one of these days to finalize the design :-)
Host Magician

I also love to have the following stuffs for Macey's part ----

-Bubble Show
- Face Paint
- Ice Cream cart
- Standee

but i have to ask for hubby's permission :-D and of course, check on the budget... anyway, it won't hurt if we can't have these. It's just an addition. It's nice to have but the party will still be a success (*hoping*) without it :-D

feedback pls...
Sharing this article i got from kiddieparty.ph while looking for a good Host Magician. Enjoy reading...
Feedback Please...
Whenever there is a parent looking for party venue or suppliers, the usual line that i hear is "feedback please". It is common for a lot of people to always ask around first before dealing with a supplier. That is why we have a category in the forum called "Supplier Feedback", where anyone can rate a specific supplier's products or services.
Each time someone leaves a feedback, comment or opinion on a party supplier, it helps out parents make their decisions on who or which supplier to book for their party. This feedback system also helps out suppliers validate how good their products are or the services they provide. And for those not so good feedbacks, the suppliers have a chance to find out how they can improve.
However, what is good for one is not always good for everyone else. There might be a parent / client who is satisfied with the service of a party supplier, but others would think of it as only substandard, and they would say that there are others who are better. That is why the Supplier Feedback in the forum doesn't just allow for a rating to be made but it also allows forum members to tell a story of what happened and give specific details on the supplier rating given.
If you previously used a party venue or party supplier or maybe you attended a party and have something to say about them, please feel free to make your own comments. And if you are a party venue or party supplier, you might want to ask your clients to leave some feedback here at kiddieparty.ph so that others may know about you.
The ratings/feedback given by forum members on party suppliers is their own opinion and not that of kiddieparty.ph. It is still best for any parent/client to verify with others regarding the information they gather.
Happy planning!
*** I find kiddieparty.ph website a big help on my preparations. And oh, they also have the Supplier's Directory for your reference :-)
