Love is in the air, there are too many ways to celebrate hearts day. Usually, families go out on a date, dine in, watching movies, strolling, going to the park and so on and so forth. Now, I did something new for us, I want my kids to remember this kind of celebration. I did a video interview with my kids, asking them about what is valentines day for them and where they will take their date on that day. Even my husband don’t know my plan. Well, it just pop in my mind, so this is it, our different kind of celebration.

Date With Bebe Gelo
Interview session with Bebe Gelo before we went to church. I asked Gelo what is Valentine’s Day for him, he said that it is the time of giving card of love to your date, girlfriend or boyfriend. Watch the video below;

My Next question is "If he is going to have a date with me on Valentine’s Day where will it be?" He Said, Jollibee!!! He is going to eat “all of it”, like burger, French fries and chicken.
So we spent our date at Jollibee and he was so happy. He really likes Jollibee very much and of course I asked him again what we are doing and if he is happy. Gelo said He is happy because he is the 1st kid dating a woman/girl. Yes, he’s so happy because he is the first one to date me than Kuya Maki and Daddy.

Then afterwards, I told him that I have a surprise for him. As we walk going to my surprise, he was so excited, and then suddenly he saw the place, the “Toms World” he immediately hug me and said “Thank You Mommy I love You!” too bad that was the time that I did not took video on him, but still I’m the happiest mom ever because Bebe Gelo is so so so sweet ever. Seeing him walking alone, enjoying the day and keep saying thank you mommy makes me teary eyed because my purpose of this kind of Valentine’s Day celebration was achieved and I know deep in his heart he will remember the way we spent hearts day.

On that note, I thought we end up the day just the two of us, but no, as we were about to left Tom’s World, Bebe Gelo told me that the next time we visit again Tom’s World should be with Daddy Marco and Kuya Maki. I hug him and I told him that we will visit again Tom’s World as Family, maybe Sunday after we attended Church Worship Service.

Date With Kuya Maki
Kuya Maki is my son with a few words to tell. If you ask him then he will answer one word. Kuya Maki is so shy like me, that is when I am still young. But we are pushing Maki to be confident enough to face the world.
Well, I asked Kuya Maki also about Valentine's Day and where he date me on Valentine's Date. Take note Gelo has 2 videos for the specific question , but Kuya Maki compressed in 1 video only. Just like I said, my son with a few words. According to Kuya Maki, Valentine's Day is Love to special person. And he will take me on the resto with burger and chicken because he really loves me.

So we went to Wing Zone, of course I’ll be the one who will pay the bill.I am not worried at all because I have GCs (gift certificate) for that, hehehe. Just to give my son a very memorable Valentine’s Day ever. So we went to Megamall which is so far from our place, but still Kuya Maki manage to go there with me without hassle in travelling.
We ordered Chicken, burger and fries. Maki loves the flavour of chicken, he enjoyed it because according to him it is diffirent from the usual fried chicken he always eat. After our lunch I asked him if he wants some dessert, yes of course Kuya Maki immediately ordered Ice cream, a strawberry ice cream. His favourite flavour and he really enjoyed it he like the way Wing zone served the ice cream.
Of course after lunch I had a surprise for him just like Bebe Gelo, but this time it’s not an arcade. It’s Krispy Kreme Donuts, He really love the glazed donut, so when we went there, his eyes got widened because he is so excited to eat it. But the catch here, I am giving him the money and he is the one buying what he wants to eat. Yes, he did it, he bought 6 glazed donuts and eat it in our house.
Kuya Maki really enjoyed the day, the very far travel for him, the food and of course the surprise, he even thank me for the great day. Love him so much, I love my boys very much.

Date With Daddy Marco
Last but not the least of course date with my hubby. We spent our date after we went to a sort of talks/seminar in the morning. Then Daddy Marco brought me in a resto serving Baby Back Ribs, yes, that’s my favourite. The place is too far but the food is awesome, love it. We spent our Valentine’s Day at Beefalo.
Love the coziness of the place, we just spent our date there. Talk a lot while munching on the food that he ordered especially the Baby Back Ribs. We almost know each other, because we’ve been together for almost 24 years. We are going to celebrate our 18th Wedding Anniversary this year.
Yes my hubby is my bestfriend, my companion, the love of my life and the true man for me. I love him so much and the food is always there for us, we love eating.

And that’s the way we celebrated Valentine’s Day/Date this year. Of course we have a family date as always. I love to date with my boys every day.

Who does not have an eventful childhood? Most of our memories from our youth are spent in school. Waking up early in the morning, meeting new people who becomes your schoolmates, teachers or your principal, playing games with friends inside and outside the classroom, pranking other students or watching them being pranked. Those naughty school memories does not only belong to Class 12A3 in The Girl from Yesterday but also a significant memory to all of us.

The Girl from Yesterday will bring us back to those memories as we experience the high school life of Thu. The film is based on the classic novel of the same name by author Nguyen Nhat Anh, a novel known by many generations of students in Vietnam. Even if you’re from the 80s or the 2000s, the book will still make you laugh with its witty lines or will make you feel nostalgic when you see yourself back at the age of 15.

Everyone will find a lot of relatable situations even if you went to school 20 or 30 or 40 years ago. We will still remember the classrooms being noisy, messy but fun and when the bell rings in time for recess, everyone goes with their own silly businesses. Students here and there, doing homework or chatting about what’s the latest trend or about their crushes.

The film will also remind us about our teachers, our mentors. The people who shaped us to be the best we can be, even if we get to be the most stubborn student they’ve had.

The school’s heartthrob, the class clown, the classmate who’s always late, who always sleeps, the teacher’s pet and most of all, that special person who inspires you to go to school every day.

The Girl from Yesterday promises to give the audience various emotions that will bring us back to our childhood memories.

“The Girl from Yesterday” opens in Philippine cinemas February 14, 2018 from CJ Entertainment and Yeah! CMG, locally distributed by Rafaella Films International.
