SADAKO MEETS RAPUNZEL (AND BELLE)

-

Sadako’s favorite Disney Princess is Rapunzel, which is very interesting, when you come to think of it, because her name is Sadako – that long-haired ghost from The Ring.

I made a promise to her before; I told her I’d bring her to Disneyland so she could meet Rapunzel.


The thing is that she just met Rapunzel (and Belle!) awhile ago in SM North EDSA, thanks to Toy Kingdom’s Disney Princess Dream Big, Princess meet-and-greet.


It was cute to see Sadako with “other Disney princesses.” Good thing there was no other kid wearing the Rapunzel costume ;)



Sadako was very excited to see and meet Rapunzel. She couldn’t care less about Belle; she just wanted to see Raps. Good thing everything started on time and that there were some contests.



Sadako even won the first one because the question was Rapunzel-related.



And then Raps finally came out. Sadako was so happy she couldn’t wait to meet her and have a photo.



Belle appeared onstage next but Sadako was just chill.


In fact, Sadako was perfectly fine not having a photo with Belle, but everyone had to get a photo opp with Belle first before getting to Raps. So she had one.


After her time with Belle, Sadako couldn’t wait to get close to Raps.


Look at how excited she was (well hello there, Adidas Duramo slides).


The super weird thing is that I don’t think Sadako looked at Rapunzel. Like, at all. She just posed for photos. I even have a video clip where Raps was talking to her and Sadako just ran LOLers. Kinilig. Hindi kinaya.


Thanks again to Moch and the rest of Toy Kingdom and Disney. Sadako is so ecstatic. As in.



She even got to bring home goodies that she wanted to unbox/unwrap ASAP.

The best part of the whole thing? Sadako told me right after: “No need to go to Disneyland.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.


For those of you with kids who want to meet Rapunzel and Belle, you can still do that at The Block in SM North EDSA, tomorrow and Sunday, May 21.

The two princesses will also meet and greet fans in SM City Cebu on May 26, 27, and 28.

Here’s the schedule:

May 19 and 26: 2pm, 3:30pm, 5:30pm, and 6:30pm

TOMS OPENS FLAGSHIP STORE IN SM MEGAMALL’S MEGA FASHION HALL

Congratulations to shoe brand TOMS, which now has their flagship store at the Mega Fashion Hall of SM Megamall! I have to admit I’ve never owned a pair of TOMS so when I got to the store, I took my time and looked at EVERYTHING, from the men’s shoes to the even the women’s, plus those for kids, too. Now this has got to be my favorite and I have already promised my feet that I shall buy a beautiful polk-a-dotted pair once I get my 13 th month pay. Lakas maka-hot dad, noh? This looks pretty cool, too. Not-your-usual, but not too in-your-face. This blue-and-white striped one is also something I would go for, although I’d love to use a pair for summer just so I can go for a nautical look. Imagine a crisp white tee, a navy pair of shorts, and these. Perfect. Before I headed out, I was able to score a pair of this Chocolate Canvas under Original Classics. I am in love with these basic ones I want a pair in all colors! For moms out there, there i

I AUDITIONED FOR SMOKEY MOUNTAIN

I loved singing and performing for relatives and guests at home when I was young. One time, when I was about four years old, my mother asked me to sing Tomorrow for our relatives who were visiting. I instantly burst into song. However, after singing the first line with so much passion, I decided to stop and asked to be excused. I went inside my room, did a proper entrance, and then whipped out my milk bottle, which I used as a microphone. I sang “The sun will come out tomorrow” again and finished the song. No doubt about it: even when I was just a kid, I already knew I wanted to sing and perform for others. Fast forward to my high school years. One day, I read in the papers that Ryan Cayabyab was forming an all-male version of Smokey Mountain. Of course, I just had to try out. I didn’t tell my parents about it. My friends and I decided to try our luck. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, Smokey Mountain was a vocal group composed

MY 3-YEAR-OLD IS ALREADY WEARING A BRA

And it’s Beyonce’s fault. See, Sadako has a thing for playing dress-up. She asks for a bandana or a scarf or any piece of cloth to be wrapped around her head whenever she wants to sing along to her favorite Erykah Badu song, “Bag Lady.” She makes sure she’s wearing her kitten heels whenever she performs Tamar Braxton’s “Love and War.” She grabs this piece of white piece of lacy fabric and puts it around her shoulders whenever she’s copying Christina Aguilera in her American Music Awards performance, where she sang a medley of tracks from her “Lotus” album, starting with “Lotus (Intro).” So going back to Beyonce, my little one discovered the talented star just recently when I popped in a DVD copy of her 2006 concert. It didn’t take long for Sadako to copy the star’s birits, moves, and get-ups. So one night I get home and see my three-year old daughter wearing her mother’s bra.  This morning, I woke up to Sadako singing along to Beyonce’s “Green
