to spoil or not to spoil

Been busy spending time with the family over the weekend. As usual, when mom arrives, we would either be at the mall shopping or eating out. Good thing I learned not to tag along in all the shops she goes to.

Either way, we had a blast. If spending time alone with andre in the room watching Tom and Jerry dvds all day (which we did last Friday and almost every single day in Boracay, and we never get tired of laughing at those repeated episodes!!) is happy time, what more if he tries to make you feel extra special.

This is what happened. Thursday morning, they arrived. I was sleeping in my room when he suddenly shout "MOMMY, I'M HERE NA!" He told me about his trip and how he was soooo happy being in Manila. Then lunch. Rested for an hour or so, then off we go to the mall. Since the yayas where so excited to shop (my mom gave them 500 pesos each for shopping), I let them go on their own. My mom and sister separated, so it's now me and andre alone.We went to some shops first, to look for a dress which I'm going to wear on the 28th. Then Toy Kingdom. Goodness gracious! I wish my wallet was loaded that day. He was sooo spoiled he knew how to choose his toys. And mind you, they were expensive. He wanted to buy a Game Boy! Fortunately, he settled down with a toy soldier robot, some balls, and swimming gears.

Just right before paying, he saw some barbies. Yep, you read it right. He remembers his promise that he'd buy me one. He said that if buy him a toy, he'll also buy one for me. He insisted on buying the one with the doll house, but I said no. I told him that I don't need toys since I'm a big girl now. We went home with no barbie.

Later that night, I realized what if I paid for that barbie? Not only would I make him happier, it would make me happy too. haha! I want that doll for myself now. :) So next time we go toy shopping, I'll promise not to spoil... the moment!
