I was a TV girl. From Punky Brewster, Batibot, Sesame Street, Beverly Hills 90210, pati FPJ. Sabin g Lolo ko, isang beses lang daw namatay si FPJ sa movie nya at nag-protesta pa ang mga tao dahil dun kaya binuhay ulit siya, not sure about the title of the film though. I also watched Sampaguita Films on Channel 9. I watched with my Lolo so it kinda served as our bonding moment. Pati yung Ula, ang batang gubat of Judy Ann Santos and Tipitipitimtipitom, Dayuhan and Valiente. I also watched Perfect Strangers, Baywatch – I had a crush on David Haselhoff’s son there. His name is Brandon Call aka Hobie. I also watched Murphy Brown. I grew up watching Doogie Howser, MacGyver, Tales from the Crypt, Quantum Leap pati Sliders and Mission Impossible the series.
Maaga akong namulat sa TV pero I believe I had a very normal childhood because my mom and dad made it a point to balance it with outdoor activities and studying sessions. Trip ko talaga TV kaya siguro I ended up working with ABS-CBN. And I also turned out ok naman except for the occasional kagagahan which I attribute naman sa hormones or prolly genetics ko. I am also fond of reading before, newspapers,
magazine (Tiger Beat, Woman Today, Liwayway), komiks (Funny komiks) at yung imported magazines na pinapadala ng Tito ko from the States na pagdating dito mga 6 months na ang nakalipas. Hehehe!
I remember watching TV with my cousins and laughing hard at the jokes and hairdos and weirdos pero all of my cousins din naman turned out to be successful in their own right.
Anyway, I believe moderation and control dapat ang kailangan and balance is the key. Lahat naman ng sobra talagang masama. Lahat ng walang control talagang bawal.
I have no objections naman din sa pagpapalaki ng parents ko. I believe to each his own. They did what they gotta do during their time. Generation nila yung style din nila so I only have respect and admiration for my parents for everything they have had to do for us. They are not perfect but they are loving and kind that whatever na minor mishaps ay napapalitan naman ng mga magagandang alaala. I only wish and hope na I will be as good or half as good as them.
My baby Johan is 1 year and 1 month na, he watches TV pero good thing he's not into it. He just looks at Gaspar & Liza or Pororo pero after a few minutes wala na. He’s more into music. He loves to watch and sing those music videos for kids. He's more into books and musical instrument kaya katatapos nya lang ng Kindermusik and we will enroll him naman sa Gymboree next month. Ayaw niya ng stuff toys. So far yun ang trip nya. Pero siempre bata pa so we'll never know.
Siguro in the future I will give time for TV (what and when and how many hours) but will not remove it, time for outdoor activities, time for studying and time for fun. I will balance his activities but he will still have TV like his mommy and daddy. I guess it all boils down to our love for our child. Of course we
only want what's best for him or what we feel is right for him. Fears of all moms I guess na magkamali pero it's normal naman na magkamali basta we correct it, it is unintentional, we move forward and never do it again.
Years ago, parents and kids are into Spongebob, naging multi-million dollar business na nga ito pero just a year ago they found out that the well-loved
cartoon character can cause short-term attention and learning problems in 4-year
olds. Who would have predicted that? I was into Spongebob din before because
he's cute and harmless. Hindi pala. Buti na lang wala pa akong baby at that time.
What I am trying to say is that I can only do so much and that I cannot be
everything to my baby boy. I can only perform one role at a time and trust that
I played it well at just the right time. We all want what's best for our
children and I'm no different from the other moms who would do anything for
their child but I have made my peace that no matter what I do, as long as I know
in my heart that my intention is pure and good and I only have the best interest
at heart then mistakes will be forgivable and I can sleep peacefully at night
knowing that my baby will grow up just right hopefully with Papa Jesus' help and
guidance of course.
