My kids prefer the PC over TV, that’s why we’ve given up our cable subscription coz they’d rather watch their favorite kiddie movies and music videos from Youtube. There are a lot of cool music videos (even educational ones) which they love to sing or dance along. Adie especially likes music and gets bored with kid shows that are all blah, blah, blah. Thanks to youtube downloader, I can have copies of their favorites saved in our hard drive. Current video faves of the kids are from Tutitu, Super Simple Songs and Mother Goose Club channels. User nay1115 also have nice videos which Caity and Adie recently discovered. Now my head is filled with silly kids’ songs… “Daddy Finger, Daddy Finger, where are you? Here I am, here I am. How do you do?” “One little calf is sitting on a hot pot, bursting into tears. Help, mom! Help, mom! Oh my butt is burning up.” The latter is actually my personal favorite coz I sing it with funny actions and expressions which sends the kids to fit of giggles! We’re crazy like that.
Even if I’m in Prague, the news about the death of Francis M still reached this side of the world. It’s a sad news. Listening and watching him sing “Kaleidoscope World” in the video which is one of my fave songs from this talented artist, made me want to cry… huhuhu…
So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin’ round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can’t talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don’t ask me how don’t ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

May he rest in peace!
Being the youngest in the brood of five, I grew up influenced by my sibling’s musical taste. Our eldest brother was a band member, playing the bass guitar. They would play the music of The Police in their gigs and concerts and in his room hangs posters of his favorite bands; one of these is The Police. So at a young age I was already familiar with The Police’ hits such as King of Pain, Roxanne, Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, Don’t Stand So Close, De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da and with Every Breath You Take being one of my favorites.

M arrived alright, empty-handed. After work, he went straight to the pub with his friends for a night of beer drinking leaving his notebook in the office. That means I don’t have the Mozart mp3s yet!

And yes, little C is an official insomniac na! waaaaaaaaa what happened to her all of a sudden??? Why can’t she sleep on her own? To quote myself“It’s frustrating, just when I figured out how to make her sleep, she’s already defying the routine!” It has been three days/nights na. Uhuhuhu… Another unexpected phase and challenge in my motherhood.
