Amelia's Nest

Twenty years back, my mother and I was walking around Araneta Center (it’s a place in Metro Manila), it was Christmas as I can vividly recall, I saw a big poster inviting little kids like me to watch this most celebrated cartoon characters. It was very attractive and eye-catching then abruptly I asked my mom if we can watch the show and she told me, “wala tayong pera para dyan” (we don’t have enough money for that). In which I whole-heartedly understand for she’s running the house all by herself. I didn’t insist nor beg. I just simply say, “okay, sa ibang pagkakataon na lang siguro”(okay, probably next time). But of course deep in my heart I wanted to watch that show as any other kids would want to.



And exactly twenty years back I was able to watched the show but it’s not with my mother but with my kids and husband. The show that I was talking about was the, “Disney-on-Ice”. I felt so good watching the show with my kids. I saw my son with all his focus and attention on the show. My daughter is not yet into it but at least she experienced the show. I was so delighted with it and felt sense of gratitude.

Looking back we weren’t able to afford to send myself with this kind of luxury but now I can managed to give it to my kids. And I think these are the things that most parents wants for their children. To give what they can afford to give and will do everything to make their children happy and happier.
