my 2013 christmas wish list

my favorite things, cars, toys, toy cars

christmas is right around the corner + while the grown ups, especially our parents busied themselves in preparation for that day, it will be most fun for us to make our christmas wish list as early as now, so we can tell our mums + dads, as well as our other loved ones, what exactly do we love to receive for christmas.

we brought home a catalog of a local toy store a few months back + i have been browsing it every time i find the chance since then. there are just too many cool + wonderful toys to choose from + sometimes i wish i can have everything i want in it!

my favorite things, cars, toys, toy cars

of course, i can only request for a couple of toys from my parents so i really need to choose very carefully. one of the toys at the top of my list will have to be this remote control lightning mcqueen car! it would be awesome to play with a lightning that actually runs + i bet i will have such a great time playing with it!

i would also love to have one or two new diecast cars to add to my little collection. i would really love to have fillmore + sally, hopefully we can still find some at the local toy stores. i would also love to have doc hudson + holly shiftwell! an ironman mask or a harry potter lego set will also be cool addition to my collection of toys!

mum was browsing online the other day + we saw this exciting chasin cheeky toy. he’s a purple monkey that moves + shakes. you can even play with him by tossing him bananas! i bet it would also be fun to play with him at home so i wouldn’t mind getting one of these for christmas, too! 🙂

how about you, have you thought of your christmas wishlist yet? do share some of the items on your list in a comment below 🙂

mum promised that we are going to enjoy on my birthday + we did! we were in sm north edsa around lunch time to eat at aristocrat’s. as you all know i am not really too fond of solid food yet so i just had a couple of spoonfuls of our noodles for that day. the grown ups all enjoyed the food + they were telling good stuff about this caldereta dish, which, of course, i did not taste! 🙂 + did i mention i already opened my gifts + look what i got, michelangelo and leonardo ninja turtles action figures! wee!

after dining and snapping some photos, mum + i proceeded to one of my favorite stores, toy kingdom! she promised she’d get me another toy plus tita cel also told mum to get me another gift! it was difficult to choose among the different cars diecast on display + the new disney planes diecast. in the end, we got the rest of the teenage mutant ninja turtles, raphael + donatello + mum got me the doubledecker bus diecast, too! ^_^

by the way, i also got to play with the slide in front of the toy store + posed with their lifesize ben10 statue, too! cool, right?

afterwards, it is time for us to watch the new disney movie, planes, which i am all excited about. it was made by the same people who made cars + cars2 that is why some of the characters look rather familiar + the tractors even made a cameo in that film. it was a good watch + i now have new favorites, dusty crophopper + el chupacabra! mum enjoyed the film, too! 🙂

on biking + tips on how to care for your bike

fun activities for children, games for little children, my favorite things

Biking is probably one of the most enjoyable thing to do, that was why I was so happy when my tito + titas gave me one for my birthday last year. I was so excited to learn how to ride it + would ask mum to help me take it out to the garage where I can ride almost every single day. Even though I was still quite small to learn how to ride a bike at that time, mum would patiently teach me how to pedal + would push me around the garage just so I can have a feel of how it is like to actually ride a bike. Biking, or cycling as what others call it, is also a perfect form of exercise as you work out your leg muscles, as well as your arms and hands as you ride.

Unfortunately, after a year of using my bike, the Lightning McQeen bike seat just gave in + snapped. Mum is not sure whether we can still have it repaired or if we need to buy a new one, which might take a while as these bikes do not come cheap. It was really sad that I can no longer ride my bike. I would really love how to learn how to pedal + am so much willing to practice everyday to finally learn how to do it.

Oh well, I hope you have more luck with your bikes than I did. Here are a few tips on how you can take care of your bike so you can use it for years and years to come:

  1. Stash your bike in a Bike storage when not in use, to ensure that it is in a-okay condition + to ward off potential danger or damage
  2. Inflate your tires properly before riding to prevent untimely tire damage and to ensure your safety while riding your bike
  3. Keep your bike day to prevent rust from damaging the metal parts of your bike. When it accidentally gets wet while you are riding, make sure to dry it up before you stash it away
  4. Oil your bike’s pedals + chains as these moving parts tend to grind on each other when not well oiled.
